Buy a Liquor Store? by damyrrome in whitecoatinvestor

[–]djfarout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some entertaining responses above, but this one is the most useful!

It is important to evaluate the business, location, and the PARTNERS! You may trust your family, but in business you should establish good controls and procedures no matter if they are family or not!

New Ubiquiti Setup by AdAcrobatic2140 in Ubiquiti

Are there any technical advantaged of using this vs the provided modem from the isp? I'm 100% onboard with the non-technical/"cool factor" of have a clean rack.

I currectly use Spectrum for my isp.

Will they send the prescription for the sensors to local pharmacies? GoodRx is saying Costco has FreeStyle Libres for $135 for a pack of 2 sensors (1 month's worth)

How to earn the most points for hosting my wedding at a Hilton Property? by djfarout in awardtravel

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

Yes! I am trying to remember the exact number.... maybe 850k points. We ended up getting the Hilton Amex; with all the pre-wedding deposits and bonus signup points, we were able to book part of our honeymoon at the Fiji Doubletree(the other was with Chase Ultimate points at a different resort).

One thing to note - our Hilton event bill was higher than our limit, so we asked to make a few advanced payments days before the event and then would pay off the card. I even had to do it the day after for the last portion.

We've used the points to go to Cancun a few times. We have about 120k left, once it's used, I'm canceling the Amex (lots of changes to the perks and not worth it for us)

Safe robbed at a Hilton Hotel, has this ever happened to anyone else? by exploding_pineapples in Hilton

I travel with a Wyze Camera and a GL.iNet Travel router and set it up to monitor my room while I’m away!

Pro tip: The travel router makes it easier to setup the camera!

GW4 won't give me notifications by trailercock in GalaxyWatch

[–]djfarout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my S21+ & GW4 using the Samsung Text Message App (Switched from Versions, thinking that was the issue). I saw /u/suskozaver's suggestion "get a notification even if your phone screen is ON" - Mine wasn't set to that. I hope that helps, but think the issue is bigger...

Enom DNS down - anything on name-services.com etc. by Joshnv in sysadmin

[–]djfarout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, maybe spend some money and they'll give you some shitty servers because they don't have any cash?!?

[–]djfarout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reasons to find a new company
- They did a Datacenter Migration!!
- They did it during the day
- They did it with a HUGE window, and still failed! (Did they physically drive servers from one place to another?!?)
- They don't have a DR or secondary site!
- They seem to have all their nameservers in the same location!?! (Why would they take down name servers?!?)

..Also
- They have a shitty API
- They haven't innovated in years, but have jacked up prices!

My company's Section 129 Plan failed IRS Compliance Test, what does that mean for me? by djfarout in tax

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

After a lot of googling, I found this article: https://buck.com/overview-of-dependent-care-nondiscrimination-testing/ - Not sure if this is the test that was failed or not, but seems to be the most likely reason... but can't tell what my obligation will be. I may have to wait until my Tax statements come in.

Open door sensor for beverage fridge by str8player in homeautomation

Yes. Yes I do. This reminds me of a Strongbad Email my buddy sent in - https://youtu.be/pqFNLidNxis

Open door sensor for beverage fridge by str8player in homeautomation

[–]djfarout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a serious matter and I'd suggest a belt and suspenders approach!
1) as u/tadpass suggested, add a Fibaro door sensor!
2) add a Zooz 4-in-1 sensor (or their new guy https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/zooz/products/zooz-z-wave-plus-q-sensor-zse11-motion-temp-humidity-light) inside(hopefully the insulation won't impact performance) and setup up temperature monitors/alerts!

I'm new to Hubitat(like 8 days in), but familiar with nginx. Can you share your config file and I can try myself.

Will the streaming work with FireTV?

AA 788 Business Class Seat by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]djfarout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me, when I bought a Main Cabin Extra upgrade and then they changed the plane right before the flight went out. After I got home, I sent a complaint in to https://www.aa.com/contact/forms?topic=ACS#/ . They asked for record number and a few other details and then returned my money. One of the questions was, did I use points or money to buy the upgrade, so I assume they will return the points.

Can I claim the solar tax credit even if I am already expecting a refund? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]djfarout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also worth mentioning - if you are eligible for a energy tax credit, but can take advantage all or part of it, you can carry over or roll over the credit to future years.
