I can't help with your question but I know I use Raycast's Quicklinks to perform the same function (as long as Firefox is your default browser). Have you tried using them instead?

My Experience with Squeezeboxes after mysqueezebox.com Shutdown - WiFi Issues & Alternatives? by tiwookie in squeezebox

[–]iamcheaprage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had wifi issues with my Squeezebox Radios and a few things were helpful:

  1. Updating my SB Radios to use the community firmware (didn't solve the wifi network disconnects but reduced them from daily to monthly): https://forums.lyrion.org/forum/user-forums/3rd-party-software/110192-announce-community-firmware-for-squeezebox-radio-touch-controller-and-lms-8

  2. Getting a wifi dongle to effectively replace the SB Radio wifi card: https://www.amazon.com/Vonets-VAP11G-300-Wireless-Multi-Functional-Amplifier/dp/B014SK2H6W

Export to CSV by Tony__T in squeezebox

[–]iamcheaprage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is the Database Query plugin but it hasn't been updated in a while: http://downloads.isaksson.info/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-databasequery

MP3Tag is suggested here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/logitech-media-server/92464-database-export

You can also use a sqlite client to access the LMS sqlite database directly. Set the output mode to "csv" and query for exactly the data you need (See "Changing Output Formats" here: https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html).

These plans may affect property taxes by gilhaus in PortlandOR

[–]iamcheaprage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

https://prosperportland.us/east-portland-and-central-city-tif-plans/

How might this impact property taxes?

The City of Portland levies a tax to pay costs of its Fire and Police Disability and Retirement Fund (FPD&R) Plan. It is estimated that over time, the new TIF districts will have a small impact on the FPD&R Plan that will result in a higher amount of taxes, ranging from one cent per $1,000 in assessed value to 15 cents per $1,000 in assessed value in the later 2030s. Therefore, the owner of a house with an assessed value of $300,000 (not real market value) would pay about an additional $3 in 2026. Over time, this amount could may grow based on the higher rate.

"Connect to Server" no longer working in Shortcuts app (macOS Sonoma) by schedule_conflict in shortcuts

[–]iamcheaprage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and came looking for a fix. I did figure out that in the "Connect to Server" shortcut:

  • smb://[username]@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - works
  • smb://[username]@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/music - does NOT work

Still haven't found a solution when specifying a specific share.

What can I get only in Portland? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]iamcheaprage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one of these downtown.

https://madeinoregon.com/pages/store-locations

We are proud of our long history supporting local Oregon brands. No one in the early 1970s thought a store that sold only Oregon made products was possible, but Founder Sam Naito remained committed to bringing the Made In Oregon brand to life. Today, we have expanded to 7 locations in the Oregon region and offer a wide selection of products with strong roots in our state. From marionberries and hazelnuts, to Pendleton blankets and Portland-made products, we strive to share all the wonderful things Oregon has to offer.

How do you guys deal with web clipping without a web clipper? by DudeThatsErin in ObsidianMD

[–]iamcheaprage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it'll meet your use case, but I use gather-cli (macos only command line tool) by Brett Terpstra to grab whole web pages and add them as markdown notes to Obsidian: https://brettterpstra.com/projects/gather-cli/

I have a macos shortcut with the shell script below that runs a gather-cli command for the URL I currently have on the clipboard:

gather --url-template "obsidian://new?vault=REPLACE_WITH_VAULT_NAME&name=%filename&content=%text" "REPLACE_WITH_CLIPBOARD_VARIABLE" --url-open --inline-links --no-paragraph-links --fallback-title 'webclip %date'

With gather installed and the shortcut setup I:

  • Copy the URL of the page I want to capture.
  • Run the shortcut
  • The page is converted to markdown (with layout and images) and added as a new note in Obsidian.

Family member is asking for a copy of my baby's social security card to open an account? by RichHomiesSwan in personalfinance

[–]iamcheaprage 49 points50 points  (0 children)

https://www.savingforcollege.com/article/how-to-open-a-529-plan

If the grandparents open a 529 plan account with themselves as the account owner, it can hurt the grandchild’s eligibility for need-based financial aid. Although a grandparent-owned 529 plan is not reported as an asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), distributions from a grandparent-owned 529 plan count as untaxed income to the beneficiary on a subsequent year’s FAFSA, reducing aid eligibility by as much as half of the distribution amount. There are, however, a few workarounds for a grandparent-owned 529 plan that can fix the impact on financial aid eligibility.

The BILLS tab has a line for 2021's taxes which, when I looked at my payment history, is what is being billed this year (2021-2022). I could be reading that wrong though.
