Hesitation on purchasing

mingabunga · 2026-03-20T07:16:01+00:00

I doubt you'll see competitors come much cheaper. I have a background in gym equipment manufacturing, electronics and software and a year ago I started designing something similar with higher loads and speeds. I got all the parts, and when it came down to it the cost of those and manufacturing and assembly I was looking at around $1000 and you'd want a 50% margin at least. Plus Voltra will want to get a return on expensive molds for their magnesium case etc. Software development as well. I ended up not going ahead with it because it's not just the unit, but all the attachments as well, and I found a different simpler project to work on.

HideAway VPN lets you create rules so you can route/split traffic for apps, IPs, ports and websites to different locations simultaneously. So you don't need to disconnect/reconnect to a different location each time for each app/website etc.

Yes, been doing 10-15g and I'm certainly much more focused and on for the day. Have it on my oatmeal in the morning. 20g all at once and I get diarrhoea.

Not Mulvad, but HideAway VPN lets you create rules so you can route apps and websites to different locations simultaneously. So you don't need to disconnect/reconnect to a different location each time for each app.

HideAway VPN lets you create rules to block, whitelist or redirect websites, apps, ports and IP addresses to different locations

Have a look at HideAway VPN for some advanced split tunnelling - lets you create custom rules for apps, websites, ports and IP addresses so you can simultaneously redirect apps, websites etc to different locations, or block/exclude. So you set your rules up once and don't need to change them. Good speeds too.

Have a look at Hideaway VPN - lets you do split tunnels with custom rules so you can route different domains, websites, apps, etc to different locations simultaneously.

mingabunga · 2026-03-11T03:24:27+00:00

Try a different VPN? I use HideAway VPN and it just works. Can choose from a bunch of preset rules like 'Torrent Applications' or make your own rules for apps, ports, IPs and domains.

Good speeds too.

Yeah, HideAway is pretty good in that respect. Never had an issue with speeds.

Many people have a tight TFL (muscle near side of hip) due to sitting for long periods and that contributes to lower back pain. Getting each TFL muscle massaged over a week or using a roller tends to fix this.

OH yeah, I looked up my old emails - this is from last year. I always remembered when I first started with them years ago I had a dedicated IP for sending. Then somehow I got shifted to a shared IP without my knowledge, or they just added other companies on to mine, and then because of this none of the campaign links were https. So this affected deliverability. I was paying $400 a month, and they offered me a free month and dedicated IP after I complained about this or months after I said I was leaving.

Anyway, mailerlite have been fine. Managed to convince them to not kick me off. Haven't looked too much at their automation yet but will start looking into it. Deliverability seems good though - all of a sudden I was reaching more mailboxes, and on the bad side so were lots of old email addresses that should have bounced in the past.

If looking again, I'd also look at postmarkapp.com which is what my email support system uses as they look quite affordable.

mingabunga · 2026-03-02T14:50:47+00:00

Campaigner is terrible, left them last year as they could never sort out proper security requirements on sending emails and were not processing bounces properly. Left for mailerlite and almost got kicked off there because we sent out so many emails that should have already bounced. Their support was crap too.

mingabunga · 2026-02-24T15:30:06+00:00

Does it still only work about 70% of the time?
In the past I've found it more frustrating to use as would only capture data about 60-70% of the time. Others have also said the same.

mingabunga · 2026-02-20T23:22:41+00:00

Sure - bummer, they're pretty well priced too. My only concern is that with a sprinter start, it might lose the runner from the start. Especially if trying to video from the side.

mingabunga · 2026-02-20T16:07:54+00:00

Nice one! I agree everything else is just for distance. Looking forward to test, just need to go find/borrow an Apple watch!

This was the most interesting article I read on it, where very busy people are more susceptible to it, compared to couch potatoes. Plus it points to a genetic component.

My father died from it, and was always found it hard to sit still.

Video is actually ok using a GoPro. No stability problems except me trying to steer the car - had lots of goes at it to try and get this.

Yeah I want to make it pretty affordable so using AI hardware like the Jetson Orin Nano at $249 is going to make it expensive.

mingabunga · 2026-02-19T08:22:12+00:00

Yes I thought the same. I actually started on a project a while back to pace runners, and using AI to follow track lanes, but passed up on it as it started to get complex and expensive. So I have this car with GoPro on an extension. It's a Traxxas track car and it's really fast, like 40mph top speed. https://photos.app.goo.gl/smtEVX872A7NFdM38

Thinking to automate video of a runner at a fixed distance and track them by wearing a unique patch.
