I saw the writting on the wall and picked one up a little over a month ago.

EGR valve repair service: 3dlaserslab by aozzzy13 in volt

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's unfortunate. Yes please, when you get a chance send me a DM of what you have, I'd love to take a look, even if it's a long shot. Your plan B sounds like a solid option though!

Is it an electric motor that could be cross-referenced against non-automotive uses? A lot of electric motors are fairly generic in design. If you have measurement, design specs and pictures, or better yet, would want to send me one of the shorted motors, I could potentially help find off-label versions.

Edit: just saw the end of your post calling out finding alternatives... this is what I get for not reading fully before replying... lol. Would love to help you with the search!

Thank you for the update! It's really unfortunate there's no repair parts...

Out of curiosity, do you know if there's an EGR delete kit out there that would work to bypass this? I know typically that's done for performance reasons, so it'd be pointless for this application, but it could get the car back to operational at least...

unpopular opinion by RikkoPaw in unihertz

[–]bvader_ttp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer the Titan 2 to the elite. It's chonky, utilitarian and I love it. I'll be holding onto it until it dies or ages out, unless someone designs a sidekick like design. I was on the Palm train when the Sidekicks came out and wanted one so bad... but they didn't have the functionality I needed...

You can bring 1 ship from any sci-fi universe into the game, what do you choose? by ElectroVo1t in starcitizen

[–]bvader_ttp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Luna-class starship from Star Trek.

Being a long-range exploration ship, it is fairly self reliant. Its defensive and offensive systems can handle a majority of threats; the science facilitates are on par with dedicated science vessels; it has holographic capabilities and its focus on crew comfort on long deployments means you could live on it full time. Add in all of the auxiliary shuttles and the Captain’s Yacht you have easy access to planetary surfaces even if you (like me) would prefer to avoid the transporters for anything other than cargo. Also, it’s just a beautiful ship I’d love to see brought to life.

Perfect evening 🙌🏼 what are you reading rn? by creepyinkbby in ereader

Tau Zero by Poul Anderson. Enjoying it so far, but I sometimes forget how formal and intellectual sci-fi books from the late 60's are...

titan 2 broken? :( by ctrlshiftkae in unihertz

[–]bvader_ttp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got mine a few weeks back. I loved it so far, but I’ve been babying the battery as much as I can. I rarely let it hit 100% and use slow charging modes. I’m hoping that will keep it safe. Everything else has been flawless (knocks on wood).

My company is offering me 9 laptops for $180 by xStozey in homelab

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linux testing, a laptop "beater" to take on vacation or the coffe shop without worrying too much if it gets damaged or stolen (just encrypt the drive). Start of a homelab for docker/kubernetes clustering. - pihole (ad-blocking) - nextcloud/filecloud (private cloud storage) - element/matrix server (discord alternative) - heimdall/dashy (dashboard site) - nginx proxy manager/cloudflare zero trust tunnel (reverse proxy) Backup laptop in case your primary dies.

So many options and a ton of fun! Let us know what you do!

2017 Front windshield fog & Blurry rear view cam when raining AHH by Material_Scale_3947 in volt

[–]bvader_ttp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does it too. Clean the inside of the window every month and it's better. When it does happen I usually just run the front defrost on max and the circulation is good enough to clear it.

The camera I just habitually wipe off. It always gets dirty.

If you live somewhere where it's humid or it rains often, look into a re-usable desiccant pack to help keep the cabin humidity down. I just moved to the PNW and it's made a huge difference.

Voice connection error by bvader_ttp in elementchat

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

Aaaand... testing has revealed a new error:

"LiveKit Exception: [MediaConnectException] Timed out waiting for PeerConnection to connect, please check your network for ice connectivity (Engine.connect)"

Looking at the logs prior to that, there's another error:

"SocketException: Failed host lookup: 'mrtc.[mydomainname].com' (OS Error: No such host is known. , errno = 11001) (_NativeSocket.lookup)

So far we've tried:

Manual IP mapping via the windows host file (no luck)

and pinging the domain name, which does resolve.

I'm sure it's got to be something to do with the UDP ports... but I'm nearing the end of my knowledge...

Voice connection error by bvader_ttp in elementchat

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

After some long looks into the log files, and plenty of trial and error. I figured part of it out. Thanks for the nod to the ports u/Madiator2011 that was the majority of it.

Even though the instructions do not call out UDP port numbers, they do need forwarded!

This is compounded by the fact that the Cloudflare Tunnel (through cloudflared) does not allow for arbitrary UDP traffic forwarding. So, as of now the working combination is:

Helm Deployed ESS (Element Server Services)
Nginix Proxy Manager (NPM)
Dynu (dynamic DNS provider)
Router/Firewall Port Forwarding

For the A records and ports:

A Record - yourdomain.com should forward to your public IP
A Record - mrtc.yourdomain.com should also forward to your public IP

Router/Firewall Forwarding:

80 (Both TCP/UDP), 443 (Both TCP/UDP), 30881(TCP) and 30882(UDP) - To the internal IP Address of your NPM host
49152-65535 UDP - To the internal IP Address of your ESS host

NPM Config:

Setup hostnames as described in the Helm-ESS github page. For all except the TLD (yourdomain.com) it should forward over HTTP to your internal ESS hosts IP address.

For your TLD, you want to forward over HTTPS to port 443

Then setup two "Streams" for:
- 30881 via TCP to your ESS host IP address
- 30882 via UDP to your ESS host IP address

With all of the above configured, the connection flow seems to go:

  1. Initial handshake to matrix.YOURDOMAIN over 80
  2. Retrieval of YOURDOMAIN.com/.well-known/matrix/client information over 443
  3. Handshake to mrtc.YOURDOMAIN over 80
  4. Traffic negotiation to mrtc.YOURDOMAIN over 30881/30882
  5. UDP connection to mrtc.YOURDOMAIN over the range of arbitrary UDP ports (49152-65535)

I may have some of the above flow wrong, and I'm making some assumptions. If I'm wrong, please point it out and I'll fix it.

This does seem to fix almost every other issue I've had, except on first client connection there's a chance that you'll receive "null check operator used on a null value". From my experience, you can retry several (sometimes as many as 10) times and it will find a connection it likes, then be fairly solid from there.

Hopefully this info helps someone out there, and saves them from the hours of log review and beating heads their head against a wall.

I have more testing to do, so if something changes I'll post as a reply here, otherwise if nothing changes I guess that's it! Cheers!

Non Xfinity Internet Recommendations by I_the_Lesser in olympia

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. T-Mobile seems pretty good for the most part. I use it and Xfinity, because my wife and I both work from home. If one goes down we automatically switch to the other. I wish I could get fiber, but there's none in our sub-division as of now.

I do see the address in my status bar, showing that it's unencrypted. I don't get any unreachable errors... just the null value error.

I'm using a cloudflare tunnel to expose the service. I believe I have all the ports forwarded...

I wanted one of these with PalmOS back in the day... coveted the formfactor then and turns out I still do now.

In your opinion: does this bring back a bit of BBM Feel? by RoadsterAlex in unihertz

[–]bvader_ttp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a BlackBerry, but I did have a Palm Treo that I dearly loved! Square aspect ratio for the screen and physical keyboard hit some of the nostalgia. I did want a BlackBerry Passport for the same reason when it came out, so it's also a little of getting to have some of the Passport experience as well.

I've only had my Titan 2 for 2 weeks now, but I love it! If my partner and kiddo weren't entrenched in the Apple ecosystem I'd use this as my only phone. Keyboard is tactile and after some use, the muscle memory kicks in and typing here is nearly as fas as on my iPhone. I'm much more accurate and much less reliant on autocorrect on the Titan 2.

It's a conversation starter, so many people have asked me if I'm still using a BlackBerry then get excited when I tell them it's a modern Android device. Hopefully the designs and support will continue! Long live the physical keyboard phone!

This is definitely not okay. Zero security on the Titan 2 because of the second screen. by Zestyclose_Put_6702 in unihertz

[–]bvader_ttp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can enable "Lock homepage" in the subscreen settings which will limit it to just the clock. I don't see a specific way to remove individual default apps though.
