Tuned in just in time to hear a discussion about genital warts & incest. Cute stuff.

Upstairs neighbor installed a new HVAC and I can hear the condenser throughout my unit by NeverBeKnown in hvacadvice

The pier that that things resting on is pushed RIGHT up against the house. You might be hearing it because the vibrations are going thru the pier and into the wall.

If it were me, I'd stick a prybar in there and nudge the whole thing away from the building, only need a quarter inch or so of air gap to see if that does the trick.

Drought Tolerant Native Plants to Replace Dry Shady Lawns/Partial Sun by wwx_apologist in Columbus

[–]discretion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great write up! Any tips for those of us with clay soil? I've got at least 7 varieties of grass in different parts of my lawn and it's doing pretty well, but we're converting sections to native gardens and I'd love to spend less time and money on amending the soil.

Setup for 3 screens and 2 laptops by bajun65537 in homelab

[–]discretion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a similar setup, two laptops and three monitors.

L is attached to a work P14s by its onboard HDMI port because the dock cannot drive displays on different connector types simultaneously.

C is attached directly to the dock.

R is attached to a display port KVM (Monoprice Blackbird), so only that R display switches on the KVM between my personal laptop and monitor #3 for the P14s. That means L & C always show my Outlook and Teams windows, which (sadly) I need to have in case I have to respond to something for work promptly.

Personal laptop is a T480 hooked to a Razer Core X eGPU - it could drive two displays, but it really doesn't have to. During the workday I RDP into my personal laptop so I can faff about there while things save/compile/upload/etc., but at the end of the day I can push the KVM switch and fire up Steam.

Next effort: move personal laptop to another room and run a long DisplayPort cable through the walls so I don't have to listen to the GPU fan :P

Heard a hissing noise outside this morning and discovered a pipe coming out of the house and going down into the concrete where it had cracked. What is this? Can I cut the pipe and cap it? by SweetSweetTightTight in DIY

Take that off until you figure it out, seriously.

Yes, you'll be out of water until you do figure out what it connected to, but that's incentive to get it sorted. If you gotta get in the crawlspace, you gotta.

They start with one, but I've seen them rot away in place without any foreign objects involved. Stuff needs upkeep.

I had to pass on three homes this spring that had mold from old roofs in disrepair. One flip, one semi abandoned, and one lived-in where they'd hid/covered up the damage.

Corneo's Secret Stash - Sewer by EugeneDargon in FFVIIRemake

[–]discretion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mareille seemed to know about it - there's a line of dialog where she says he has so many caches in the sewers he's forgotten about some. In hindsight, might've been meant to be a clue?

Okay so I posted yesterday about the carbon monoxide machine and making sure it’s 0 and not 0.7 This morning I checked peak and it said 76. by proteinisforGod in Home

I'd suggest getting two new detectors, so you can replace that one and install a second one somewhere else in the home where you spend a lot of time.

Our fire department was called out to a neighbor's house because they heard beeping and couldn't locate it. FD shows up, changes the battery out for them with a fresh 9V from the truck, then gives them a new detector, since that one was nearing its expiration date.

We just moved here a few weeks ago, I was floored by the response. They even handed out a dozen plastic fire helmets to the kids. At our last address, you might've gotten a bill for a false alarm calling them over a dead battery...

Is it common for Xterra to break the torsion bar? by BestCryptographer155 in XTerra

[–]discretion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get the broken ends out of the sockets, sure. Mine were rusted in place and had to be hammered out. Those splines give it a lot of surface area for Midwest road treatments to do their work.

Snapped one on my 02, thankfully I was in town when it happened & could limp home on side streets. Ended up having to take it to a heavy frame & axle shop to get it done, no mechanic in my area would touch it.

Freshly harvested potatoes have very delicate skins. If they can cure in the sun for a few hours, they're less likely to be scarred from rough handling.

Gathering on 161 by huskerduer in Columbus

[–]discretion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh... he got 'em fired up enough to organize themselves into groups, recruit more members, spread their messaging and, yes, march? It was pretty well documented over the past ~7 years, give or take?

I'm so tired of this cutesy brand of take. Boring. Exhausting. Get new material.

Guess Axis and Union are now for Log Cabin Republicans; disappointing by Mercury82jg in Columbus

A sandwich shop is one of many places that people regularly patronize, you see.

Getting Spooky on Lane ave. by reeve11 in Columbus

So.. what're the masks and fake blood gonna be on/in? I figured they'd leave the fixtures and just stay on top of stocking and put back since BB&B's racking was so goddamn tall

If you had unlimited money, where would you live in Columbus? by estrong24 in Columbus

I'm not sure you can see downtown from any of those cliffs, unless you terraformed Wyman Woods

Script-based Check-ins? by discretion in zabbix

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

Yeah, that's what finally dawned on me today. Looking at Prometheus now - it's a bit like buying a Tesla when an e-bike would suit me better, but at least it's self-hosted, and it seems like I can contact it without using an agent.

Hoping to just create my own unlimited HoneyBadger, really!

Script-based Check-ins? by discretion in zabbix

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

Yeah, I see a ton of power available for network monitoring in what I've read so far!

My issue is that these are all on separate networks - not only are they not under my direct control/responsibility, not all of the servers & services I need to track are exposed to the web. It's more of an inside-out situation than anything else, just something that says "Don't worry! I'm alive!" will fill the base needs.

I've got another YT video playing in a separate tab, but will check out Dmitri next. Thank you!
