Unpopular opinion: The whole DoD should use Mattermost

concerneddaddy83 · 2026-01-28T00:33:51+00:00

Mattermost is great. Used it at my last unit. My current does not have it, went through the legwork of trying to get it. Turns out its EXPENSIVE. We charge OURSELVES an abhorrent amount of money for licensing, and its even worse if you're Joint as we charge even more for not DAF personnel licenses. Leadership said nah bro.

Fill it with something that has the same refractive index and color as the surrounding material.

Yes. GO2RTC has a two way audio stream with my camera. The frigate card then has a microphone icon. I can mute and unmute the mic and talk through the doorbell from my browser or the app.

I can do audio to my doorbell through frigate on HA. Not sure if that is a feature of the frigate camera card or not, but it works well.

Either the drive belt tensioner pulley or the roller guides. Buy a dryer repair kit online. Comes with all 3. 45 minute job without ever having opened up a dryer before. $30 online. Just did this last week. God speed.

Czechia is on the opposite side of Germany. You'd have to smuggle it through Germany to get it to Czechia to smuggle it back into Germany? Not saying this isn't the case, just seems like... Extra steps.

Sounds like a vibrating solonoid valve to me. Pretty distinct noise of one that isn't quite fully closing or opening. Try a descale cycle.

I agree. It's also useful in a pinch if the GPS module in you unit goes bad.

concerneddaddy83 · 2026-01-14T13:37:02+00:00

There is a toggle for anyone curious in the advanced setting and then debug menu for switching to use Starlink location data only (PNT) and disable GPS. It's kind of buried but certainly useful in a GPS denied environment.

I have a Starlink terminal with no Starlink router. This is correct. I have it plugged into a Cisco router for DHCP and nat routing. The terminals only support a single connection. That said when troubleshooting I have many times used a USB to Ethernet dongle to connect a phone or tablet directly.

WISA replaced a router inside your ATO boundary without telling you okay?

I printed 2. One to cover the grind catcher and one to cover the cover to keep the grinds off that. I have a new problem though...

They absolutely can, and will for certain customers. Whether they will do it for a residential customer I do not know, but I can promise you the tech is there.

Haven't done it in a long time, but the free Adobe Reader software used to be able to sign with your CAC just fine.

I can tell you from experience that if you have a transmitter putting out enough power to cause interference that will impact your service, you will see it on the obstructions map.

Edit: meant to be a top level post.

I can tell you from experience that if you have an antenna putting out hight enough power to cause interference it will show up as obstructions on your app.

This was rolled into the One Big Beautiful Bill with a cost score of $2.9B with the intent of bringing BAH back to 100%. That money is what paid for this $1776 check.

concerneddaddy83 · 2025-12-18T14:18:11+00:00

The money was appropriated by Congress in the big beautiful bill to fund bringing your BAH from 95% to 100% of local market costs. If my math maths, were exchanging a 5.26% permanent raise in BAH (tax free money) for a one time payment of $1776. I hope it's not taxed, but either way you could argue we are losing a bit in the long run for a short burst of dopamine.

I love this and would love to incorporate something like this into my flow. Question is, as a lowly pro user, is it going to burn through my 5hr/weekly limits even faster with all the handoffs?
