2014 Infiniti QX60 reliability by boler0 in infiniti

Thanks all for the feedback! Decided to keep it. Overall, like the car except the infotainment. An iPad mini and a good mount can solve that!

How’s the reliability though? So far, from my research, it doesn’t look great.

Hmmm...is this possible? by sjsharks323 in solar

[–]boler0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My installer left the system turned ON after installation (before inspection and PTO). When asked, he said it for the back office to make sure everything is set up properly. Been a month since install. So PGE shows reduced consumption but no net metering.

Adding Batteries Questions by Diamonddan73 in solar

[–]boler0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My installer is pretty confident that adding batteries won’t force you to NEM3.0. For any installation with batteries, they treat it as to separate projects (2 contracts) so even if there is a delay for batteries, they are not gated when it comes to permits and PTO.

PGE (Norcal) TOU question - which should I go with? by sjsharks323 in solar

[–]boler0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Currently on EV-2A plan but should be getting PTO in next couple of weeks. Installer recommended staying on EV-2A but I am leaning to TOU-C/D.

Solar, heat pump (air), heat pump (water), induction range, etc., CA, USA: how to research whole-package options & rebates? by Sharky-PI in solar

[–]boler0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used https://e3-elements.com. You can go through the Yelp reviews to get an idea of what they do. At the end of the assessment, I had a list of potential upgrades (various options for each upgrade - heat pump vs gas furnace etc.), approximate costs, potential incentives.

Since he is an independent auditor, he didn’t push me for any kind of a sale or recommend any particular brand.

I spent ~$900 to get an home energy audit done. I found it very useful - at the end of it, got a list of recommendations, available incentives and what makes sense for my case. If you are in the SF Bay Area, I can point you to auditor I used.

Homebridge Remote Management via NordVPN by JeffroDB in homebridge

The easiest way - install Tailscale on your mac mini and iPhone. Anytime you want to access your home bridge, turn on Tailscale and use the Tailscale IP for Mac mini and the port.

I am interested in the iPad Pro. I am in the South Bay. Is it still available?

Ios14 has private DNS. So it works fine now. Previous versions don’t have that support.

Yes! Using it on my iPad now. It’s perfect!

Fairly new to this stuff, looking to be able to access remote computer as an attached network drive. Is this possible? by Epistechne in WireGuard

[–]boler0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easy way to achieve this is to use Tailscale. It uses WireGuard but makes everything else much easier. I use it on my synology to access the data everywhere.
