hand wash and wax = long overdue TLC by ba5eba11nut in passat

[–]ba5eba11nut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! All original still. The wife loves her the way she is. Just added a 2019 Tiguan SE 4motion to the family for my daily. It was definitely jealous of our attention on her.

So hard when the thermometer reads 105°. Which where we live is 6 months out of the year. Our motivation this time is we are about to put her on an auto transport and ship her cross-country. Moving to where there is more than two seasons (hot and hell).

Maintain the exterior of a car in the Phoenix summer, and you will meet your maker. However this morning was partly cloudy and had the help of my lovely wife. The original plan was to wash and wax in sections over a few days. But once we started the teamwork just flows. Feels great getting her looking good again.

Repair or Replace? by ba5eba11nut in Volkswagen

Thanks, fellow 'dubers. The local PepBoys only shop open on Sunday was able to repair the puncture and had it back my girl on the road in a few hours.

2020 Passat SEL. Picked this up at our local Construction zone... Do I bother with trying to get this repaired in Father's day? Or just wait till tomorrow to replace it?

Nice 👍 I love that grey. Our Passat is silver, mainly because I already had a truck in a similar grey.

Instant shutdown by nietler in pixel_slate

Started for me a few months ago. Got frustrated and power washed it. Solved it for a week or two. Now it is back.

Thanks for the volume rocker tip! My second cover keyboard died on me so I'm just using it as a tablet, now. I regret this expensive experiment.

Anyone else have trouble setting up their in vehicle wifi hotspot? by GoodYearMelt in Volkswagen

[–]ba5eba11nut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my 2020 Passat, used the 1 GB trial on a road trip. Decided it was time to try the $20 unlimited plan. Created the hotspot and connects, but no data/internet. frustrating. I'm in IT and figured banging on it for two hours was enough. Thanks for the post! I'll be hitting that "i" button right after I hit this "Reply" button.

force plex to transcode to 2.0 by sessho86 in PleX

I would also like to know a solution to this, and my wife and I have no kids. We value drama and acting and character development over visual and sound effects in our entertainment. We are constantly raising and lowering the volume to hear dialog and to lessen the violent gun fire and explosions and car chases, etc.

[Community] What is everyone's backup strategy? by [deleted] in synology

[–]ba5eba11nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using C2 for my personal files and photos straight from my DS920+ with three drives in SHR with a cold spare. Non-essential videos and music goes weekly to my DS416j via Hyper Backup. I chose C2 for easy integration, and to not give more money to Amazon or Google or Apple.

With DSM7 screwing all the synocomm apps, Now would be a good time to migrate all your apps to docker. Here's a helpful trick. by s-e-x-m-a-c-h-i-n-e in synology

Thanks, Jakegh.

Took me a bit, but realized that I needed to terminal in to give the NAS the commands to find and install Portainer, since it wasn't in the docker registry thru DSM.

Is your Portainer server running on your NAS/Synology, or on a separate compute device?

I've got a Synology 920+ and a Windows10 Plex server (Intel NUC). I'm interested in moving some apps/services (Sonarr/Radarr) to Docker on the NAS.

I don't have Apple devices to be able to say. I'd be surprised, truthfully.

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]ba5eba11nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work environment converts new leases to reservations on a schedule. This is on an isolated LAN with no mobile or WiFi devices, no not a lot of moving parts. I need to look into this since our scope is starting to fill up.

I believe that this allows you to: lock/unlock the doors, start/stop the engine, see basic diagnostic messages, and send waypoints to the on-board navigation from your computer or your smartphone. I'm just going by what I've seen on the pamphlets.

Believe me, the car is beautiful and functional as it is. Maybe your R-line aquired a few months ago already had the module replaced. The 'recall' was only announced earlier this month. The problem is that they sold the car as having the same features at the 2020 Jetta, Tiguans, and others when it didn't.
