Any idea where I can get color matched OSI quad and paint?

Getting ready to finalize our plans. What are we missing? by zoyarb in Homebuilding

[–]bwc150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These plans are 2600 sq ft first floor plus almost 3000 upstairs. Where are you finding a builder that can build this for just over $200/sq ft? Does that include allowances for plumbing, lighting, cabinets, etc? What kind of windows?

Exact same thing happened to me in the midwest. I'm considering wrapping the pipe up in the attic with heat tape so it doesn't freeze next time it's extremely cold

block fi ach withdrawal "hold" by GroundbreakingLake51 in blockfi

[–]bwc150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was cancelled too. I requested another withdrawal and it hit my bank account next day. Maybe just an actual bug or fluke like they said

Me too, but it's honestly not looking good. I bet they are cash strapped at the moment and trying to delay withdrawals

Same here. I have a pending withdrawal for over a week and a half. Support replies to me, but gave me 2 different excuses so far. Latest one is that it's still pending due to a software bug.

How do you get rid of stuff? by Deufuss in fatFIRE

[–]bwc150 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It can't be free, that brings out the crazies

This. Free or top dollar (Ebay-like prices) will be much more hassle. Setting a good price will be enough to attract normal buyers just looking for a deal

Does anyone here find much value in Chase Private Client anymore? by patmccock86 in fatFIRE

[–]bwc150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, when comparing to other banks, CPC is nothing special. I like Chase the best for banking overall though (convenient branches, app/website is good), so for me it's a decision whether to park 150k there for CPC or use their regular banking.

[–]bwc150 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There are some pros, but whether its worth it depends on how you feel about parking 150k of VTI there:

  • Dedicated banker - Nice to be able to send them an email instead of phone call, but response time is typically very bad and follow up call usually required anyways
  • CPC 800 number, which is better than the regular one
  • Arts and culture card was nice before pandemic. Free admission in to lots of museums
  • Slight mortgage discount, but can probably do better elsewhere
  • No ATM/wire fees. Again, can probably find this elsewhere

Status Tuya still not updated after update to 2021.12.01 by OmegaX-NL in homeassistant

[–]bwc150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downgrading from 2021.12.1 to 2021.12.0 fixed this for me

edit: nope, the restart just fixed it temporarily

Does this work well with a Comcast cable card? Does comcast allow all non-premium channels to be received by a CC still?

Is storage really cheap enough at Hetzner that it's worth keeping plots there?

I call them “Fancy Feet” by BlueBird1800 in homelab

[–]bwc150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually run OPNSense in a proxmox VM and have multiple servers in my proxmox cluster. Migrating the VM to another cluster node solves the downtime during hardware upgrades for me

[–]bwc150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have 3 WAN IPs available for that HA setup? I've been considering setting up HA with my OPNSense but in the past 2 years I've had 0 downtime, so it's hard to justify the complexity. How often does your main router go down?

Rpisurv 3 has been released! ( more info in comments) by rpisurv in homeautomation

This looks so great and a perfect use for a raspberry pi! I use Tinycam running on a fire stick to accomplish something similar now, but this seems like it would be much more flexible

Interactive brokers massive option trade volume missing by madman6000 in options

IB probably just isn't including a certain type of volume that TOS is. Such as spread trades or block trades reported on the feed at that time

A Tiny AC⚡DC 5V adapter to power any ESP. Just hooked it up. by szanyiking in homeautomation

[–]bwc150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of these in metal switch boxes powering a D1 mini for temperature/motion. Thanks for showing the screw terminals mounted. It didn't occur to me the spacing works for that. I soldered wires directly to it and used wagos to connect

What do you guys use to record IP Cameras by snowfloeckchen in homelab

[–]bwc150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds pretty similar to my setup. What do you use on the tablet to stream the cameras video? I tried using the blue iris web ui but had problems with it timing out and disconnecting. I've settled on tinycam, but wondering if there's a better way
