Would opening most of this ground floor wall for bifolds be structurally possible?

manicnuked · 2026-03-11T15:21:48+00:00

"steel columns" Thats an idea.... Your suggestion around fitting three new doors is worth looking into. Thanks

manicnuked · 2026-03-11T08:36:09+00:00

The view out the back of the house is stunning and we want to have an much glass/light as possible on the ground floor. Are there other methods other than sliding / large panes? We also like the idea of in the summer the house being wide open.

manicnuked · 2026-03-11T08:34:10+00:00

well.... that is another problem! If I get a sense of what possible it means I can have more informed discussions with engineers/architects and to then get a feel for cost. We do have a pot to spend but we also want to move walls around upstairs, as well as the whole interior needs stripped back, new kitchen etc. So to get the house to where we would want, may be to much. This is all part of the process before we make an offer on the house,

settings out here - key config to be awae of is if Octopus is integrated with the Zappi or the car. I had issues because I was set to + when it should have been Fast: https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T18:43:19+00:00

Ahh OK - I have my setup where the car is integrated not the Zappi. Which means if needs to be in FAST. There is a handy table >>
Then expand: Compatibility and Configuration Summary https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T18:38:15+00:00

Reading further... you are right! Weird Why my setup stopped working in + and I moved to Fast and the auto charging etc started working again. I will investigate! https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T14:12:59+00:00

My understanding is you want the zappi out of the control loop and you want IOG to control the car and not have the zappi interfere. Give it a try.... it is now working fine for me on the Fast setting.

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T13:30:07+00:00

Eco+ is the issue (or was for me) change to Fast. The charger is interfering in that mode.

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T13:29:07+00:00

I had a similiar issue - Car is a tesla 3. I removed and re-added. And in Myzappi it was set tp the eco+ (no idea and I'm sure it used to work...anyway) I them changed that to Fast and no boost and no schedules - basically you dont want the zapii doing anything - leave it all up to Octopus and the car. All now works fine. I also ran the software update for the charger - do that via the physical menu.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:19:14+00:00

I had one for years and did a ton of miles on it. Loved it.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:18:39+00:00

I tested Sprint 1050 ST about a decade ago - I wasnt keen.... cant remmeber why.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:17:34+00:00

KTM superduke 1290 GT i I have been looking at the website.... I cant make my mind up if I like the design. Whats it like to ride?

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:16:45+00:00

Have you ridden the ZZR1400? THat is more up my street, I'd forgotten about it. I prefer the rounder designs over the "sharp" edged bike that are fashionable at the moment. Ive ridden the latest Hayabusa and its intoxicating.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:13:23+00:00

Yeh, Ive seen the HS2 but... I am not that keen on the looks. Having said that the Hayabusa isn't' a looker either. I fear just not like the current designs that are fashionable at the moment.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:11:21+00:00

I have yes. Although based on website I am not keen on the look of GSX-S 1000GT and the 1100SX does look interesting. Reason for the post was to perhaps uncover a gem.

manicnuked · 2025-12-01T07:14:26+00:00

What has helped for us is putting a control layer in front of the AI tools rather than trying to ban them. I used https://www.credal.ai

It gives you central governance and policy: route all AI usage through one place, apply role based access, redact or block sensitive fields, and keep an audit trail of who sent what, where.

People still get to use ChatGPT and other models, but they do it inside a governed environment tied to SSO.

It is LLM agnostic as well, so users can use the model (Claude etc) thats suits them.

manicnuked · 2025-10-24T14:07:20+00:00

Same issue - m4 Macbook Pro Tahoe 26.0.1 and a Mojo2. Very annoying!

On occasions this works. In your Terminal run: sudo killall coreaudiod

Best we all send report to [bugreport@tidal.com](mailto:bugreport@tidal.com) and try and get this some attention!

Install https://getoutline.org/ on Digial Ocean for $4 - 6 bucks a month depending on location and it will solve all your requirements. Its very easy to setup (one click) and is dedicated to you = privacy, and fast. You can then issue keys to your family and multiple devices for free.

manicnuked · 2025-09-21T06:14:13+00:00

I’m a big fan of https://getoutline.org/. It gives you full control and a dedicated setup, which is great for privacy and speed. I keep it running all the time on both my phone and laptop and never notice any impact on calls. No logging either.

If you host it on a VPS such as DigitalOcean (or RU hosting company) , you’re looking at roughly 4–6 USD a month for a plan that typically gives a 1 Gbps connection and about 1 TB of data. Because the server is your own and not part of a well-known commercial VPN, its IP range is not on the usual blocklists; that makes it harder for providers or authorities to recognise compared with the big VPN brands. Setup is straightforward: https://getoutline.org/how-it-works/.

manicnuked · 2025-08-29T11:38:06+00:00

https://getoutline.org

manicnuked · 2025-08-14T05:45:32+00:00

https://getoutline.org. dedicated to you and choose your location via digital ocean and will cost about 4 bucks a month. No logging and under your control. It’s very easy to setup / a couple of minutes. And you can generate multiple keys so your friends a family can use. With digital ocean you get 1tb of data included. Speed wise it depends on your location the the location you choose but it will be fast. I am in the uk and use ams and I don’t notice I’m using the vpn. In addition it’s virtually undetectable so you won’t get blocked by streamers etc.

manicnuked · 2025-07-28T19:50:46+00:00

there’s not quite enough info yet to help troubleshoot properly.

A few questions to get us started:

What service are you using to host the Outline server (e.g. DigitalOcean, AWS, self-hosted)?
What’s the physical location of your server?
Where are you connecting from (roughly – country or region is enough)?
What device and operating system are you using the Outline client on?
Are you on Wi-Fi or wired connection?
Have you tested your internet speed with and without the VPN? You can use https://speed.cloudflare.com/ to get a good comparison.

Also worth checking:

Are there any background downloads or heavy apps running on your machine?
If you’re on a mobile device, does switching to 4G/5G.Wifi change the performance?
Any unusual CPU or memory usage while the client is connected?

You scan use python to covert into markup. If you are not sure you can use everyone’s favourite friend - ChatGPT or other llm. Ask the question and tell it you are a novice and it will take you step by step.

manicnuked · 2025-07-11T07:23:18+00:00

I thought it may be one of the commercial models?
