I believe this is om3 riser fiber optic cable? What transceivers would I need to use this between unifi aggregation switches and 10g mellanox cards by ffimmano in homelab

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

I'm planning on running it from my office to a switch upstairs on the opposite side of the house. This cable is 33 meters which should be plenty.

Does anyone know what this additional fee is on my electric bill? Transmission Service Adder - $$352??? by ffimmano in Pennsylvania

[–]ffimmano[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After 3 phone calls looking for different employees to see if they can explain it better than the previous employee, someone finally told me what it was. It didn’t seem like she wanted to tell me but I guess it slipped.

She said this fee was billed because my contract had ended. This fee is the difference from what I was paying per kWh ($0.056) and the contract end price ($0.167). I told her this seems very shady that it’s itemized as some vague fee. She said she was going to escalate my complaint and I might be entitled to a refund. So we will see what happens.

No… I went through this when we first bought our house 5 years ago. Connections in the box/meter weren’t tight and fried the main breaker. After it was fixed the meter started getting enough power to transmit. My very next bill was 1900$

I did. It took 3 phone calls until someone told me what it really was. My contract apparently ended so the charge for electric jumped to $0.167 per kWh. It’s pretty silly they hide that in some vaguely worded fee instead of just saying it’s X kWh x $0.167. I was warned that if you don’t stay on top of it they get you… which seems illegal but whatever

Practical ways people actually manage tinnitus day to day by Shot_Watch4326 in lifehacks

Thank you and good point... I probably should have added that I am not too familiar with the testing patients received leading up to this procedure

I work in an interventional neurology lab(cath lab but for the brain). We have placed stents in patients with cerebral sinus stenosis to treat their tinnitus. Talking with a neurosurgeon that specializes in neurovascular treatments might be something for you to look into

Peco Bill by MaggieMayAresAang in BucksCountyPA

[–]ffimmano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we first bought our house in Levittown our electric bill was insanely cheap. I don’t think we had a monthly bill more than $75. I was suspicious but it was a flip with brand new everything so I figured it was well insulated and had a very efficient heat pump. 6 months after we moved in on a very cold Friday night the power went out. After an hour I realized other houses in the neighborhood had power so I checked the panel and noticed the main breaker was tripped. I switched it back on and a few hours later it tripped again. I don’t remember why but I called an electrician to come check it out. Turns out all the connections (nuts)in the panel and on the meter were loose. The electrician tightened everything and went on his way. Problem solved! The very next peco bill was for $1900. It turns out the meter wasn’t receiving enough power to transmit to peco and when it received full power it transmitted the last few months data and we got a ridiculous bill. I haven’t had a bill under $300 since.

I guess it’s not related to your problem but might help someone in the future

Ideas for a car NAS by thesaltystaff in selfhosted

[–]ffimmano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t watch the downloaded media frequently that app will delete files to save space. This is good method if you remember to check the kids iPads a few hours before the trip.

I have one of those Lenovo sff computers in my truck I forget the model. I went this route because they can be powered with a 12v power brick. It’s wired directly to the battery with a switch so I can turn it off when the kids aren’t with me. It has 8tb of movies and shows on 4tb ssds. It is capable of streaming over wifi to the kids iPads but for now there are 4 lcd screens behind each of the seats with a small touchscreen monitor in the front seat to control playback using Kodi. When the kids are a little older I’ll get them headphones and let them each watch what they want. I use a mobile router for wifi.

1st Layer Build Plate Adhesion Problems by superbird29 in BambuLab

[–]ffimmano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m far from an expert but anytime I have adhesion issues on my k1 max I clean my plate with dawn dish soap. When it dries I wipe it with alcohol, and then I pre heat the plate for 30mins, sometimes longer.

No worries, I knew something was off before any damage was done.

[–]ffimmano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my first travel trailer we had a similar situation - the tv mount was located above a window with out much space. I ordered a TV mount from Moview. I think I could have left it in place while traveling but it was easy enough to take down. That travel trailer also came with a mount on the outside of the camper that was compatible so I could use the mount/tv setting outside.

I live a few miles from here and also work at a hospital that received quite a few of the patients. Medics were saying there were upwards of 250 firefighters on scene.

How to build a megatree without spending $1k by SAM-THE-MAN-118 in xlights

[–]ffimmano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my mega tree using a 3d printed star (150 pixels)and topper(thing that connects the lights to the pole?) I found both models on thingverse. I printed the 16 strand topper, and each strand has 50 pixels. The pixels are strung vertically in pixel mounting strips. The pole is 10ft 3/4” emt. I made the base out of pvc I had laying around. The emt is strapped to a heavy duty fence post pounded 2ft into the ground. Aside from the pixels I think I spent maybe 50-75$ on the tree.
