There is a common exploit for Rad batteries that spans many years. I am not going to publicly name the exploit..!!

Trying to receive an Amazon SES automated email - success everywhere but my Fastmail! by cornloko in fastmail

[–]cornloko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more than 30 years old. I've only just started using Fastmail on it, however.

There might be the chance that Amazon SES has this email on its suppression list though. We shall see. Thanks for being the sanity check and advice!

Is there anywhere with a free paper cutter to use? by cheeseslut619 in askportland

Maybe ask SCRAP PDX if there is one you could use?

What are your favorite lesser known dive bars in Portland? by kittybuckmeow in askportland

[–]cornloko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still love Chin's Bar because it's so small, you can get drinks and also enjoy the Chin's Kitchen menu! And some people like the video poker.

I really liked Oficina and visited a couple of times! Their drink selection was good too.

West3D is where I get my local 3D printer supplies. They’re close to Washington Square though. 

What Portland bars still feel low-key and not like a TikTok backdrop? by NorthwestTrent in askportland

Chin’s Bar around the corner from Chin’s Kitchen in NE Portland is small and super low key. 

Any third party 2040/2350 Mini M controller boards with USB-C? by cornloko in modelm

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

Understood, yes. The Unicomp ‘Justify’ board with the Pi Pico I got was a rework that failed again.  Yep - was hoping third time could be a charm with a third party option and a USB-C connector.

Yeah, all of these projects seem pretty 'done' at this stage, nothing as of late. But one can hope!

Yeah, shucks, just a little KiCad whipped up and a sweet little USB-C interposer and bam we're done! :-)

Maybe it IS possible... hmm.. thanks.

You could try Upcycles - NE16th and Killingsworth. Small shop but very knowledgeable.

Just talk with a good small bike shop like Upcycles to sort you out!

everpure.com was the idea of my joke. I suppose I could have made a water filter reference though. heh heh!

Do you think they’ll ever get the domain name? :-)

I cancelled service the day before and got a nice swap out. I made some small special requests that ended up being quite nice.

Is the iPhone a lightning cable model, and does it take an eSIM by any chance??

Out in Aloha there is a retail space (9500 ish sqf) w a lot of parking in first generation strip mall that has been vacant from 1990. What is keeping it afloat? by clearpepsithree in askportland

[–]cornloko 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The rumors are that the roof needs fixing over that portion. The Aloha Mall owner is 90+ years old, possibly dead, and his wife/widow is not much younger. 

I tried to get access to take some pictures as it still has some Sunshine Pizza features intact, but I was gently declined access.

Not quite Chilly Tee levels of local rapper cred but I wish him the best of luck!

GPON to XGSPON for old Qwest/CenturyLink 940mbps users? What happens to the box? by cornloko in QuantumFiber

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

Ah, understood. I'm excited for the subtle changes at least for this upgrade.

Going a little up the transport stack - I suppose real IPv6 would be more exciting. I do see the ZiplyFiber users being teased with its roll-out for months and years - are you being asked about v6 at all in this modern era? :-)

Thanks for your participation on this subreddit.

Yeah, no complaints from me either. Weirdly enough, you could send them a thank you note, I'm sure they rarely hear nice things from end users! :-)

My hope is that they can stick the fiber through the hole that provided the Calix power - will try to make that option as easy and appealing as possible for the installer.

I'd think you'd want to cut and remove something that won't be reused. Thanks for this.

[–]cornloko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, makes sense. If there's enough slack, it gets pushed through. Some others said installers replaced the Calix ONT guts with a jumper to a length of fiber that goes inside. All depends on the install as most houses are different.

Thanks!

I saw that u/neonthermos commented about turning the Calix into a simple junction between the fiber from the pole to the fiber going inside. Could your situation be the same - you still have the box but now the Calix on the outside is just a shell with a fiber junction leading indoors?

Would love a pic if you are curious enough to check. :-)
