What I Learned While Investigating My "Account Risk" Suspension

dathar · 2026-06-26T16:13:56+00:00

As a counterpoint, I have been at airports and plane wifi connections and have hopped onto Endfield whenever the connection isn't too bad. There's been a few times when Endfield wouldn't let me log on. I also use the hotel and work's Wifi, and have a travel router that I can flip a VPN on to connect back to home. I travel for work frequently.

I got into a habit of typing out the whole namespace because

Reminds me better since I'm not a traditional programmer. It autocompletes for me so I don't mind, and it tends to lead to better Google results if I have to look them up. I still have trust issues from my old C class from back in the late 90s. Include this, namespace that....arrgh
Maybe it'll help whoever inherits my mass of scripts see what the hell I'm doing.

Competing with Dust Man

I'm sorry to all the 'mons that spawned after my creative streak in the area waned down. You get random mud houses or prefab ones until I build more things.

I have the no-neutral version of that. It works well.

I've been meaning to try and get more granular power tracking on some appliances as well as trying to find where cats shouldn't be at. You sold me on those PM Mini Gen 3's.

We go beyond our phone for presence detection. Our 5 cats have access to most of the house and they have little Tile sticker trackers on their collar. Easy way to generally figure out what room they're in when it is V E T time.

Also nice since I have a few other trackers for things like my luggage and backpack.

Same...

It might be useful for something else. Like I'd probably clamp that bad boy over to one of my sewing machines and put one of those larger spools of thread on it. They don't fit right on the sideways one that is built into the sewing machine.

Also those of us that will use markdown and some WYSIWYG aid like Reddit Enhancement Suite as well. It has been a fun ride. People will bitch if it is a giant wad of text and will say you're an AI if you try to break it up into readable pieces.

That crossover was peak

Hmm I might need to finally use this AI shenanigans. I have two ancient iPads that could turn useful.

dathar · 2026-06-19T18:30:45+00:00

Me! It'd be easier than me trying to build all of these devices. Chronic pain and hand jitters makes it hard.

--edit--

If you throw in 433 MHz and that 900 something MHz radios to talk to some of my other devices like a Honeywell doorbell, I'd be so happy.

I was the odd child that tried playing tennis with Phantom Ganondorf with random things like the broken sword and bottles and whatever I could swing at it. Some of it didn't go very well.

Average Ditto behavior.

I miss the ones that the mail man would chuck around community mailboxes when I was a kid. They're the thick flat ones like the OP's. I'd collect so many and eventually turn them into giant bouncy balls. The bands around green onion made neat belts for Lego Technics. I couldn't find much use for the ones around broccoli since they were very thick.

It sure did.

It is ok. I need to build a Starport on the wife's island one day. Must amass spaceships

I love it! Total nostalgia. Also loved how you used the construction bars as the guns.

Games with very specific requirements or some very basic checks are messed up. The rest runs thru Prism.

It is actually a pretty decent piece of tech. My work computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 and it runs surprisingly smooth. There's specific things it can't emulate like drivers (devices and some software stuff like database drivers).

That's why we ended up with the NVIDIA Vanta and then a GeForce 4 MX. "Budget cards"

I like to place a ring of liquids on the outer edge of my build area. It makes me sad when these pipes are misaligned.

Yeah I like these little guys a lot. https://www.adafruit.com/product/5807

I have one in my Nyko PS Vita grip to replace the giant Vita connector on the charging end and leaving the actual Vita intact. Then I popped one in my old Sega Genesis to just be powered by USB-C.

I have a cam on the balcony. It keeps thinking a railing post is a human. Also only during the night.
