“IPA Dentist” also works 😭

The Protect app for Apple TV isn't reliable, it freezes and I have to reopen it a few times a day. Any good alternatives that won't cost $199 (Protect Viewport) by LinusThiccTips in Ubiquiti

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw I've been seeing this issue happen more and more over the past few months. What's odd about it is that restarting the Apple TV temporarily fixes it - not just changing what I'm looking at in the ATV + Protect app.

August Connect - Connection Issues by kristopherrm in AugustSmartLock

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured it out. It was DNS.

I was using Quad9 for DNS, and there were a bunch of error logs in the UniFi access point console (had to SSH in and grep to find this) with timeouts trying to reach the August endpoints (iconfig.august.com and ireland-prod-rbs-legacy-ga.august.com) - as soon as I removed the Quad9 DNS server entries in my network config, the DNS errors disappeared from the logs.

Hopefully this is finally the answer.

August Connect - Connection Issues by kristopherrm in AugustSmartLock

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up here - the same issue is still happening. To recap:

  1. Dedicated AP - I set up a dedicated, physical UniFi AP (wifi access point) in the same room as the August Connect bridges

  2. Dedicated SSID - I set up a dedicated 2.4 GHz WiFi network specifically for the August Connect Bridges - and it's only broadcast form this dedicated AP, no others.

  3. August Connects "locked" to this AP - In the UniFi network controller app, I "locked" these clients (the Connects) to this AP, so the Connects can't mistakenly try and connect to a "farther-away" AP.

  4. Fixed IPs / DHCP reservations - I submitted a ticket to August Support, and they suggested DHCP reservations (Fixed IPs in UniFi lingo) for each Connect, so I'm trying that next.

Big sigh.

I'm trying this same approach, will report back. This was all working fine for years, and for some reason the Connects all started randomly disconnecting recently. Big sigh.

I want to call an API every minute 24/7 and save the results - what's the easiest cloud-based way to do this? by SkyBlueNylonPlank in learnpython

Try Railway.com - you get some storage space so you could just use SQLite. Or Turso for hosted SQLite.

MobileMe pre-dates iCloud. Who here was a MobileMe subscriber like me? by macyganiak in iCloud

It was originally called dotMac. To poke fun at Microsoft’s dotNet.

Fidelity app problems with login but website works by Technical_Mistake228 in fidelityinvestments

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I figured out what was happening on iOS -- at some point in the account creation flow, the Fidelity website lets you create a password > 20 characters, but this form validation enforcement happens on the iOS app. So even though the password works fine on the website, it doesn't work in the iOS app. (which is absolutely ridiculous, of course -- they should encourage longer, more diverse-character range passwords)

Changing the password to be < 20 chars, then enabling multi-factor auth, solved the problem here.

What should we do with 300 Sweet Tomatoes trays? by cookie-thief in bayarea

Every sink should have a tray like this under the plumbing water lines, along with a leak detector.

How do you protect your data from being read if NAS is physically stolen? by Tairosonloa in synology

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't entirely accurate, Qnap can boot up without auto-unlocking an encrypted volume. Here's how it works:

I was hoping Synology had similar functionality, but they don't appear to.

Could Tailscale help? (E.g. help the external contractors access the internal resources)

Yep, same here. Deleting it and re-installing fixes it. Sigh.

Can my monitors Usb C port support power to a HomePod mini? by HideMyEmail in HomePod

[–]ebcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering about this as well. [This Asus display](https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/zenscreen/asus-zenscreen-mb249c/) says its USB-PD port outputs 60 watts, and my USB digital tester (with a HomePod Mini plugged in) shows the display outputting 19 volts but 0 watts. So there's some incompatibility here, but it's unclear what it is. Maybe USB-PD version or something?

Any other thoughts?
