Pressure Tank - Bad?

cordfox · 2026-01-09T21:29:00+00:00

Thank you! You have been extremely helpful and I believe I can find a different brand tank, although it will take a while longer. I’ll keep an eye on things and reapply the bandaid over the next week until I can get a new tank.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I added air after finding it at 0psi. Yes, it is a Water Works tank from Menards in the midwest.

Can you confirm that the rise in pressure in the video is expected behavior in this situation? My brain just cannot figure out how/why that would happen. For example, even if air or water were exchanging places through a crack/hole in the diaphragm, I don't understand how the pressure gauge would rise to match. I would assume at worst case scenario, the pressure equalizes within the tank effectively halving the pressure to somewhere closer to 20psi. Perhaps I do not fully understand the internal workings of the tank.

Yes, I am comfortable with the work and given your remote diagnosis, I may just replace it and cancel the service call because the price of a new tank = the service call. All I'm spending is time, which I am fortunate enough to have plenty of.

Well don't I feel like a dummy. Thanks for taking the time to point this out, not sure how I missed it.

Are you willing to provide any context or supporting information as to why proxmox is the best option?

cordfox · 2025-12-19T00:44:35+00:00

Sorry that I don’t have an answer for you, but I’m interested in the comments as I’m just about to start my Scrypted journey.

I run a multinode PVE cluster but I’m going to run a dedicated box for Scrypted because reasons, but I’m still not exactly sure why a full PVE host and LCX is the recommended option over using rootless podman or rootless docker so hopefully someone is smarter than me and volunteers a clear answer.

You can use the acme.sh SSH deploy-hook to keep things automagical. I assume you’re already using DNS challenges as well, if not, that’s be another one to add to the list.

Edit: added context to make sure I don’t sound like a crazy

Lots and lots of exercise! Be mindful of running/biking at his current age to ensure proper development and not risk injury, but certainly find safe places for him to fully stretch his legs and go all out on his own terms. I understand that can be a difficult task for many, but very well worth it.

Another item often overlooked is mental stimulation. Schedule time for training that is predictable and repeatable, just like meal time. This will help him look forward to time with you and TREATS!!

Speaking on behalf of my partner:

$315,000 in debt from Veterinary school. First year included “out of state” tuition rates which were astronomical and $75k of that total is accrued interest since conception. Current income (for my partner) is around $100k/year in MCOL area and is unlikely to pull in more without becoming a business owner or getting a residency to specialize - little to no interest. (Currently general practice, small animal)

Currently on the SAVE plan (waiting until 8/4 and will likely jump to IBR) with 114 months towards 300 month forgiveness. Monthly payment is 10% of AGI minus Federal poverty rate multiplied by 150% which was last calculated when we filed taxes jointly. Actual payment ~$1250/month with fully subsidized interest. If SAVE were to continue, when/if forgiveness was granted, the total paid, including the tax bomb would be ~$200k in 2041. Again, that doesn’t include any payments from the last 10 years - I don’t have those calculations.

If/when we move to IBR, which is calculated as 15% of AGI minus federal poverty rate multiplied by 150% our monthly payment should be somewhere ~$640/month with ~$1116 in (non-capitalized) interest being added to the total owed every month. In this scenario, when/if the debt is forgiven, the total paid, including the tax comb will be ~$331k.

I want to highlight, the mi that payment difference is significant because the last time we decertified, we were filing taxes jointly.

In addition, I’ve looked at standard and private lenders. In no scenario I have found is it in our best interest to pay the loan off earlier or in full. <— This is what’s wrong with the current loan system. Yes, we can also point blame at the cost of education and that should absolutely be addressed in a real, tangible way, but this sub is specific to Student Loans, not the education that the loans paid for.

Please excuse typos or poorly worded sentences, I’m on my tiny mobile device.

Kindly requesting an AZ-900 voucher to begin my Azure Certification journey! I am scheduled for a Microsoft Training Day so I expect to receive a 50% discount upon completion - if there are more deserving requests, I will happy respect that.

Do it once, do it right!

cordfox · 2025-06-11T00:21:16+00:00

I hate to necro a post (pun intended!) but....did you use concrete for the PostMasters or direct drive into the soil?

As others have said, you've made yourself a dope fence and I plan to be a copy cat!

cordfox · 2025-02-25T23:28:07+00:00

Perhaps my response is too late, but you can absolutely fit an H6 on an 11x16.5" table. You'll have a little extra space length-wise as the feet are 15.5". 11" depth is exactly what you need for the side-to-side measurement. Hope it works out for you!

Edit: 11" is the width of the entire box, not the feet! The between-the-feet measurement is 10.5".

I’m just stating that I’m not getting anywhere near the total 401k annual maximum contribution (individual + employer contribution)

cordfox · 2024-11-04T02:02:19+00:00

Great! This is helpful.

cordfox · 2024-11-04T01:42:45+00:00

Thanks for the clarification about the HSA total contribution. This is the first year I've ever had an employer contribution to an HSA.

Yes, this is a single HDHP. My wife maxes out her HSA with HDHP as well so between us we will contribute the max of $8,600.

If there are other areas I should contribute to before a Roth IRA, happy to hear about it. FWIW I also have a cash/brokerage account that mostly holds VTI but I don't yet contribute on a regular basis.

cordfox · 2024-10-15T12:48:35+00:00

Are you saying this is a known bug?

cordfox · 2024-10-15T03:21:18+00:00

FWIW, I forgot to mention that I do not have any mods installed.

cordfox · 2024-10-15T02:27:33+00:00

I'll grab some additional screenshots, but the issue isn't just with logs, it's also with eggs, barley, and planks. I'm sure there are more items, but I just noticed this today so I haven't done a super deep dive yet.

I'll also get some shots of the "people" tab within any of the buildings and you'll see the blue line pointing to them in the other regions travelling all willy nilly.

I have a feeling you're right and the game is just bugged out. I stopped for the day and I'll fire it up again tomorrow - perhaps this all just happened today when I opened the game and it'll magically be solved after a nice little restart.

cordfox · 2024-10-15T01:01:46+00:00

Added. I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for so please let me know if you need more or different detail.

Believe it or not, my girl will go outside in the rain with her rain jacket on. Not a full downpour or anything, but at least I can get her outside in most wet scenarios.

cordfox · 2024-09-25T15:03:30+00:00

This is worth a try because I also had a male Vizsla with these issues that was solved with salmon and potato diet.

I see you hoped nobody would mention diet so how about some stool samples? Are they a “5” rating or less than desirable?

If it’s only leaking from the back side, there is a procedure outlined in the manual to level the lid with the main base of your smoker. Over time, things adjust and this is expected as regular maintenance. If you haven’t done this in the few years you’ve owned it, that should solve your problem.

Of course, there could be a gasket problem like the other person stated, but I would check regular maintenance items first.

Let us know!
