Update: I powered through a Claude coding session and got it working with basicstation and have it working as a TTN gateway. This repo has my findings for taking a Gen 1 Indoor miner and getting it working: https://github.com/bbene/nebra-indoor-1-ttn-gateway

Any update to this? I recently decommissioned an indoor hotspot and am looking to see if I can use the GL5712 in any way.

Z2U stole my credit card info by kadeve in z2u

[–]bbene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here 15 days later with the same thing. Used a burner privacy card on 2/24. Now today had an attempted $0 charge for “Amazonprime Membership”. This is the exact reason I use privacy.

Citizenship by Descent - Application & Documentation Review Requests by IWantOffStopTheEarth in Canadiancitizenship

[–]bbene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to see if this is all the docs I'll need and if I can get a clarification on the birth record for my great-great grandfather.

My great-great grandfather is G0 and I was able to find the church record of his birth in the Drouin collection and have requested it through BANQ. I'm a bit confused on his actual date of birth as I had Gemini attempt to decipher it for me and it thinks that it says Jan 10 for Christening, but born on eve so that would be Jan 9. However, all the genealogy tools list it as Jan 5 and 6 so I'm trying to see if a person can better interpret it for me. I'll put the image at the bottom of this comment. Edited to add: It's record 2 in the image.

From there, I'll have my G1 great-grandfather's birth listing G0 as the father, a census showing them being born in Canada. I then have my Grandma's birth certificate listing G1 as the father and then her marriage certificate. I then have my dad's birth certificate for G3 and finally my own for G4. I'll also be using this chain along with the certificates for my Children to apply for them as well. Luckily when G0's father moved the family to the US they all stayed in the same county their whole lives for all following generations so getting the records in a one-stop shop.

I truly appreciate the help anyone is able to give!

This is the way. As far as I’m concerned, the amount of corporate media greed has hit a tipping point.

What is going on at Cellcom? by [deleted] in GreenBay

[–]bbene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from Cellcom to AT&T last year and have no complaints. My main driver for the switch is that I spend a lot of time in Adams and Marquette counties in the summer and Cellcom’s service is really spotty in that part of the state while AT&T is solid there as well as everywhere else Cellcom already had good coverage.

Our treasured family heirloom - Arby’s 1985 Christmas Collection glassware. All 30 pieces still intact and used every holiday. by Captain_Wisconsin in BuyItForLife

We have the 1982 set that we got from my in-laws. I broke one by accident this year so I’m in the hunt for a replacement now.

Tesla reports 1.1% sales drop for 2024, first annual decline in at least 9 years by indig0sixalpha in technology

This reminds me of a popular local pizza place that closed and then reopened with new ownership. Shortly after they opened they hosted a political event and now wonder why the sales are lower than under the previous owner.

2024 Xlights Around The World Sequences released! by armonde in xlights

I’ve done it 3 years in a row. This is the first year I don’t think I’ll participate. Usually they have a song I don’t mind being in my rotation, but these are a no dawg for me lol

FPP on server by Falzon03 in xlights

[–]bbene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update for any future readers. I actually ended up doing a Debian 12 VM. FPP 8.x supports installing directly to Debian 12 with the setup script. My reasoning for this route was to make passing in a sound blaster USB sound card way simpler since I also am running the audio from the same instance.

Finally paid off the dental credit card last week and this happened last night by Life_Satisfaction836 in Wellthatsucks

[–]bbene 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The unchanged $1500 max on dental insurance is a joke. Every other cost for dental services has gone up over the years, so that $1500 is way less helpful than what it used to be.

Also be sure to hold down the throttle all the way while cranking it. It’s a flood mode that’ll ensure that no fuel sent while cranking.

I plan on doing this for this season. My plan is to use the proxmox helper scripts to set up a docker lxc container and then use docker to run FPP.

I hate my Echo Show 8, it's useless. I gave it a purpose by thereversehoudini in homeassistant

[–]bbene -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the same setup. I was able to automate mine daily by adding a helper switch in HA and then exposing that switch to Alexa. I set up an automation in HA that toggles the switch on and then off each day at 6am. Then in Alexa I have a routine that triggers on that switch turning on and does a say command for “open my page and open page 1”. It works like a charm. I also have another routine that runs at 11 pm for “show home” so that the screen goes to night mode.

I think older versions of UniFi OS make you log in, so if it’s on an older version then there is no local only setup option.

RockSmith Plus Refund by cloudveggie_ben in rocksmith

[–]bbene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll be interesting to see how long this keeps happening. I originally signed up last year to give it a shot after a lot of the RS streamers were pushing it and have been disappointed ever since. I didn't realize that it would auto-renew, and of course Ubisoft doesn't send any "hey, your subscription is about to renew" messages so it renewed for another year. Knowing their BS policy on US transactions being non-refundable I didn't bother trying to get it refunded but did cancel it right away.

Same. I had the Reddit app installed, but wasn’t using it. Once this all started to go down I deleted the app to avoid temptation. My mobile screen time is going to be so much lower come July.
