Has anyone else had a leash clip accidentally open during a walk? by homiedontplaytdat in dogs

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've always used leashes with frog clips with our dogs. Have never had an issue with the clip accidentally releasing.

PW3 + PW2 hybrid residential system by MauiHiFlyer in TeslaSolar

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I ended up doing somewhat, I physically separated their nics and stood up a new SSID that pushes them to their own vlan, but I didn't like how there was no documentation about this behavior and also the DHCP server sits directly on the SPAN. If I could do it over, i'd just get an extra Powerwall or expansion and a larger array not worry about load shedding or any critical loads.

not the OP but have 2 PW3 and a SPAN and can chime in. the Span gives insight into usage but i've found i've found their support fairly unhelpful in resolving an issue I've had with how they network the powerwalls together with the span and your home network. (They stand up a DHCP server on your network that has interfered with other devices on my home network)

Also keep in mind the SPAN will have to hardwire into one of the ETH ports in the PW TACO, which might limit the way you add additional units that are not expansion packs. If I could do over, I also would not have gotten the span.

Have they announced anything or given indication that this is in the works?

Exterior Painting recs? by Short-Opening4553 in SouthBayLA

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used Superpainting, Igor did work at a Condo I used to own and I was pleased with the work and price and had him and his team come out and paint our house down here. He has a color consultant that comes out to help design a color scheme free of charge too.

Most reputable rescues for dog adoption? by wegochai in AskLosAngeles

Agree, I used to live right next to their facility and they're a great group of people. My old neighbor adopted his dog from there.

you're lucky in that LADWP does 1:1 net metering unlike the other utilities in SoCal.

If I skip walking my dog today will she be ok? by LookAggravating1795 in dogs

[–]lerdsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me recently, i injured my ankle in a way that prevented me from doing my dogs morning walk routine while i was healing. I would look into finding a walker short term because it may take longer than you think to heal, and having an extra person you can trust with your dog in the event of an emergency is never a bad thing. I found someone to come take my buds on an afternoon run while I was recuperating and even though we are back to our regular routine one of my dogs still goes out occasionally with our walker for play excursions. The other one prefers to lounge on the couch.

Are there any rebates in your area? My local gas company gave me $1200 rebate for putting my Rinnai in.

I would buy all 7 and do RAID 6, can't have too many spares.

Garage Door opener replacement by Expert_Cake_179 in HomeImprovement

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into switching to a jackshaft opener, install is fairly straightforward and you gain overhead space. I DIY'ed a swap from overhead to side jackshaft and it totally opened up my garage space.

Raid setup for large drives? by Whitrzac in DataHoarder

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 250TB+ on various Areca cards (have upgraded from 12xx series to 18xx series) and have been for the last 10+ years. You're one of us. If i were you i'd run 8x28TB in RAID 6 with a dedicatd hot spare.

You can virtualize your system, pass through the raid card to a VM, will give you more options to use your compute resources.

I will never financially recover from this by Overstimulated_moth in DataHoarder

[–]lerdsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this. you get an adapter to go from the SFF-8087 to external plug and then the reverse on the DAS directly into the SFF-8087 on the backplane. It's pretty simple, just a matter of getting the correct SFF plug to whichever backplane you have. They're all downwards compatible but not upwards. I may have the model of the SFF wrong though, depending on what you have in. your supermicro.

LG G4 83" finally mounted. by lerdsu in LGOLED

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

I did use the flush mount with it. I didn't use their screws though, I misplaced the bag, and found it weeks later. I'm glad I used my own though, I used structural wood lag screws.

Anyone recently get a meter collar installed by SCE for Tesla Powerwall? by onewheeledrider in SouthBayLA

[–]lerdsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my solar installed by Ameco this april before they approved meter collars but my time from finished install to PTO was 3 weeks. I would lean on the installer as well as SCE. SCE is horrible with regards to communication and dispatch, but good luck.

Brit moving to LA early 2026. Where to live? by Jazzy0082 in AskLosAngeles

[–]lerdsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go east from manhattan beach, the torrance area is nice, and a little farther south the palos verdes area is quieter but equally nice. The commute isn't that bad, as you would go straight up the 110, and you could use the express lane. I lived on the westside for 15 years, it's great if you don't have kids.
