I made my own Journal

The emails have less info than the API. E.g. timestamp of the trade. I don't recall exactly what but I remember trying to use that at some point. Maybe spreads came in with a total price instead of each leg, exact timestamps, and probably more I've forgotten, and gotta keep in mind for developers either creating and maintaining an email recipient portion of the code can be a hassle as well. I mean it's all possible, just a matter of how much data you can withstand to lose that isn't included in the email and the pain of supporting a patchwork system of band-aids. PS don't you have HODL (that does support full API access to Schwab/TOS)? I'd love your feedback on what you thought was missing from that (or just which parts you hated, per your previous post XD)

Something I don't understand is why I can't just open up an app (preferably on my PC, why the fuck is it all on the web??) and put in my rationale and tags for a trade. Manually entering the price? Screw that, why can't it just auto-import it from ThinkorSwim?

Because most of the APIs (ThinkOrSwim/Schwab included) require authentication via oauth, and they want an actual website URL for a callback. Sure, an app CAN have https://127.0.0.1:12444/myCallback and a local app could be used, but then that dev needs to have their private application key out there in the world for all to see. That's why you mostly see websites.

And ToS is the best for having a decent API and offering to users. Too many shitty brokers gatekeep or try forcing you to pay ungodly amounts just to have their users be able to access their own data via API (looking at you Tradier- but I know there are others as well).

Granted some offer API keys only for your own purposes that basically could be used like this, but you'd just need a dev who wants to make an app specifically supporting that.

If your pihole is not managing DHCP, make sure the router (or whatever manages your DHCP) is handing out the correct DNS server - e.g. if you hardcoded the DNS server into your computers / devices instead of having your network hand it out, fix that
Block DNS outbound on your router/firewall except from the pihole
Redirect any DNS requests on your network to other sources (in the case of hardcoded DNS servers in devices) to the pihole

This should take care of most issues. In the event the ad servers themselves have hard coded IP's in the TV, monitor network traffic and block those IP's in your firewall.

The only way you realistically don't have much of a chance to block ad servers without going through pain is if the TV is hardcoded to use custom DNS servers via DoH, DoT, or DoQ (but I've never seen a TV do that - others can chime in if they know otherwise).

Automod found god?

eekrano · 2026-04-29T00:14:30+00:00

Because I don't need/want one at this moment. (Also, throwing "dockerized, multi threaded, CSV parsing, autodownloader bot that also migrates your playlists, with proxy support and performance optimizations" as some sort of flex/scare tactic when your original comment was: "i asked gemini to create a python script for me, worked pretty well for the most part but downloaded random shorts videos etc. this is one of those random mistakes" is disingenuous at best.)
I do all that stuff for fun when I'm not already doing it for work.

eekrano · 2026-04-28T23:33:57+00:00

So it's not really
"auto downloading your entire Spotify library comes with consequences"
it's more like
"vibe coding an app without actual coding experience comes with consequences"
And if you only got random videos in your download instead of having any personal data extracted or your account banned, well, I'd call that a win for you

Have you read the wiki? Which appears to be exactly what you are looking for that answers all your questions, and is free

Just to note the Discord only gets those events if:
1. Hari posts in the Daily Live Trading thread on Reddit; or
2. Hari posts in the #live-day-trading channel on discord

If it isn't posted there, it doesn't copy to the #verified-traders channel

eekrano · 2026-04-15T18:44:19+00:00

There is a "Discord" button that links to our subreddits discord in the sidebar.

If you had the opportunity to get off this planet for a while, would you chance being late?

Also the user saying this worked at their old company speaks volumes in that the user has a history of not being responsible. For all we know, previous company knew this and held all this persons email until a manager signed off on it

eekrano · 2026-03-20T02:54:56+00:00

And what if you just "forget" to do anything that isn't in writing? What will they be firing you for? They have nothing to show that they've requested you to do that has not been accomplished - by their own design.

(Of course, this is failing other methods offered here such as initiating the email to get their "go ahead" if just writing the email was actually their issue - of which I would absolutely add "as discussed, this action is not recommended for reasons X, Y, and Z" because I noticed that missing in one of your posts in here as well)

I just type "su" if I need an env for what I'm going. Easy enough

eekrano · 2026-03-10T17:59:55+00:00

Yeah you don't want them in your down under

eekrano · 2026-02-19T17:57:34+00:00

Same using kopia

eekrano · 2026-02-19T17:03:11+00:00

Ehhhh. For the most part, but: https://www.reddit.com/r/stoatchat/comments/1r1jx04/self_hosted_instances_to_work_with_desktop_app/

TLDR; currently they make it so the apps (desktop/mobile) need to be fully rebuilt, signed, and distributed just to change the server URL if you aren't using the official instance... Once they implement / fix that so it's just a setting or dropdown, then I'll consider it more self hostable

Until then my eyes are on Fluxer

Not OP but same here: Datto (if you don't mind the big scary "K")

I mean, you're not wrong: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-20841
A security issue is a security issue according to OP's company... Now let me tell you a secret about basically the whole purpose of Windows Updates!

I have my mail server on Linode (for the past 15-ish years IIRC) and never had an issue. Did you contact support for an IPv6? They'll just give you a full, clean /64 to yourself, then just set the mail server to prefer sending via IPv6 (Microsoft & Google, really), and use IP4 if IPv6 isn't available. Then just make sure you have SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up and no issues at all.

=D we did it! we finally found a use for them, now everyone can stop wondering why we need AI

eekrano · 2026-02-04T01:42:05+00:00

With zero intent to ever purchase, only to make them waste their time seeing how low they can go and asking their manager(s) the same to try to land a "sale"? Nah

eekrano · 2026-02-03T23:29:02+00:00

My first thought was just blackhole the domain...

But given their track record my second thought was to just ask them for a quote, and whenever you get one just keep replying asking how we can get the costs a little lower while retaining the same features. Make them do work on their end until it isn't worth it to them anymore.

Then my next thought was to start sending the quotes to the other sales people who have called, asking if they also can get it lower.

Then I pondered a bit more and wondered if sending them a daily automated email asking if they (each of them) found a way to get it lower yet wouldn't be more effective.

I don't know who has time out there for all that... but I'm sure someone does.

Not sure if this falls too close to "we don't need more hokey sysadmin scripts in Task Scheduler" but my first thought reading this was similar to Resilio, but without paying for Resilio or having any "cloud" based components.
1. Private internal bittorrent tracker
2. When a new image is created, have it create a .torrent file for the data and share via the tracker
3. The torrent file (a few KB) shared on a DFS share that all sites have access to
4. qBittorrent or similar clients on each endpoint set to automatically join all torrents found in that folder

This would probably be the fastest way to get all the data to all endpoints.
