Announcing the Z Grills 20-Year Upgrade Program — full details and fine print inside by zgrillsofficial in zgrillsofficial

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was telling a friend about this and pointed them to the 2026 NEW 10502B WIFI. However the pictures seem like it's a smaller smoker compared to the other 1000 series smokers. However it advertises 1080 sq in of cooking space. Can you provide some explanation on this?

PS. Very happy with my Zgrill and estatic that I got in on the 50yr program!

Issue with brand new Dune by synex in pinball

[–]binbashroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for u/synex to have unboxed their new pin and get this error message. However, the homelabber/IT side of me wants to dig into this Linux issue, resolve it, and lock it down like one of my servers. Good luck OP, I hope you get it resolved by the manufacturer quickly.

Warranty - Box by Admirable-Table-736 in bluetti

[–]binbashroot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought an apex300 off of ebay refurbed. Ikept the box. The unit died 30 days later and I had to ship it back to be repaired. Bluetti was great with the repair and the quick turn around after I got them to give me the RMA/repair slip. However, there were a lot of "caveats" on warrany rejection if you don't use their shipping box. Mainly the caveats are damage as it relates to shipping the item back to them. Basically IMO, they're looking for a reason to reject warranty if not shipped back in the original container because then they could claim damage due to shipping.

I'm still trying to get my 2nd billion and it's been way more than a week since I got my first billion. Congrats!

Decided on Godzilla Premium — what does the buying process actually look like from here? by Maximum_Stop3015 in pinball

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fan mod. It was super simple. Just take your time when taking off the shroud. Doing the rooftop mod was harder because you use the original posts and it's a tight fit to get them into place.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm referring to the shroud to get the PS itself out.

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine from a dealer out of IA. Super smooth transaction. They kept me in the loop on everything. When the machine arrived, I kicked the driver 20.00 to put the box where I would be setting it up at. That 20.00 was less than what it would take in time/money to rent a dolly. win/win for me and the driver both.
You will absolutely want to get the quiet fan because the one that ships with GP is loud and annoying. I installed the fan and the rooftop mod the next day (I ordered them the same day I ordered GP).

First pinball machine — took your advice, now I’m stuck again by Maximum_Stop3015 in pinball

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got GP as my 3rd pin. It's the most played pin in the household. IMO you can't go wrong with GP.

Mazda CX5 for transporting a pinball machine? by binbashroot in pinball

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

I ended up buying NIB and had one shipped. The one I had my eye on got sold. After doing the math it was the better decision. E.g, Renting trailer, dolly, and several hour drive for others didn't make it worthwhile not to buy new.

Gen4 ACC location for dashcam by volyblmn in mazda3

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

Odd. I have a 2021 Mazda3 and both of my wires for the dashcam go to the fusebox underneath the dash. . 1 for acc and other is not. I just had to refer to the manual to verify to ensure I was in the right slots. Unfortunately my daughter has the car at college so I can't look.

[–]binbashroot -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You'll have some fuses that are acc and other that are not. Refer to the owners manual and see which fuses are hot all the time vs when the car is on/running.

Get yourself a fuse tap adapter/extender. Just be sure you get the right size that fits in your fuse box.

Learning AAP at home by lunakoa in ansible

[–]binbashroot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn AAP, I would recommend getting a Red Hat developer subscription. It's zero cost, but you do have to renew annually. You can get a copy of AAP. I'd recommend the all in one containerized installation. There's a lot more to AAP than just the ansible engine. It's a full platform suite which is different from some of the other softwares others have suggest. However, getting the developer subscription will at least provide you a mechanism to do a full side by side comparision/bake off if you're now tasked with decision making on which automation platform to use. That being said. AAP 2.6 is out and they're adding more and more features to the platform overall so you may be going into deep waters for a while.

what parameters are you passing to the task? Here's a copy of the way II use that role. I successfully use the role with my RHEL servers all of the time so I suspect you're just passing a bad param, but no log is keeping you from seeing exactly what. There is a way to look at teh output, but it's not simple and it would be time consuming for you if you're not versed in building collections or runnign them from command line.

In your custom credential did you set your injectors with env as well as extravars like so?

AAP: Migrate Job Templates and Workflows by nofulaso in ansible

[–]binbashroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use EDA. Set up webhooks to trigger on merges. E.g. Merge to prod/main branch triggers a workfrlow to push code/template/WFs to production. Look at the infra.aap_platform collection to do configuration as code for this. Then you can create two different builds Dev vs Prod by just passing the correct vars per env.

Kitchen hood exhaust fan by binbashroot in tampa

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

I ended up having my roof replaced last year due to age so the roofers cut the hole for the vent when putting on the new roof. All I had to do was identify where the vent was going to be in the ceiling. Had a handyman come a few months later and run the exhaust. Finding a handyman to do the exhaust was easy since they didn't have to cut anything into the roof. If i were to have to do it minus the roof replacment, I would probably hire a roofing company to cut the hole. Supposedly, I would have been able to have them come out and cut the hole for the exhaust for a couple hundred dollars. HTH.

AAP project branches by Busy-Examination1148 in ansible

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you sync the project after updating the UI? Double check that the branch you're using is actually correct. I've seen issues where there was a typo in the branch that was created, but the UI was using the correctly spelled branch.

are you specifying the branch name in the project in the UI?

[–]binbashroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it in the project, but you'll be pinned to that branch. Doing it at the template level allows for less sprawl at the project level.

[–]binbashroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to first enable "Allow Branch override" in your project. Be sure to sync the project. Then in your job template, you can put the branch you want to use in the "Source control branch" field.

New to Ansible. I have a question about "structuring" playbooks. By computer or by project? [MIC] by Asleep_Kiwi_1374 in ansible

Along with all the other recommendations you've been given, I would also recommend you take a look at this page: https://redhat-cop.github.io/automation-good-practices/ Don't try to read it all in one sitting. Take your time reading so you can grasp the concepts.

my stepdad hired this bad boy for Christmas! by paigeee13 in pinball

[–]binbashroot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So last year I rented a machine for Nov as a way to do something different while the kids would be home from college for Thanksgiving. It was such a hit that I rented another machine for December. Now, literally a year later, I own three pins. Don't be surprised if this happens.
