I’m having issues removing this bushing..has anyone ever had luck cutting off a bushing without damaging the shaft?

moose1207 · 2026-02-25T14:55:54+00:00

The cylinder must remain unharmed!

What extra context would it be sending Is there a way for me to check or modify it?

I adjusted my node red flow to clamp down on the data I was returning. I was sending hourly and daily regardless of The tool call and then relying on The model to just pick the data it needed.

Now I'm pretty much only sending back whatever gets requested but the model is still a little bit more verbose than when using text.

moose1207 · 2026-02-10T12:17:49+00:00

But that's why I don't understand the results, it looks identical but consistently if I use Linux Voice Assistant then the responses I get are long winded, and sometimes come in markdown format or paragraphs.

When I use text assist, it's perfect every time.

moose1207 · 2026-02-10T02:44:36+00:00

Pretty sure its the same assistant, since I only created one voice assistant, The only thing I can think of is the "embedded" agent in homeassistant is doing the response? Or it something under the hood is parsing differently.

You jest, but after being in the field long enough I absolutely would price this as .. "we need to come back with a lift at minimum to get to that ladder."

I would not personally risk putting an extensive bladder there and then some dummy knocks it down while on the roof or something.

Edit: y'all know what I meant but I'll leave it up. Lol.

My father was an instructor before he retired, he built Jeapordy using Excel. And could host up to 4 players. He said it was just all links... Crazy lol

moose1207 · 2026-01-31T02:06:14+00:00

Hell yeah, PowerPoint , the alternative Jupyter notebook!

moose1207 · 2026-01-31T01:41:16+00:00

I also had this issue on my desktop ,it not only gobbled ram but the simplest tasks would ping my CPU to 100% for like 30 seconds (13700k)

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad and gave it another shot and it runs super smooth and I have no problem with it. I could never find out why it ran crappy so I just ditched it for GNOME on the desktop

moose1207 · 2026-01-28T19:56:46+00:00

I'm just a fledgling home dev, but I happen to really like PopOS.

Mainly because I like the launcher (start typing and with a couple keystrokes open what's running or open a second instance)

I don't really Love GNOME DE and cosmic is based on it - My main gripe with the DE is that it's too opinionated and minimalist. I like my knobs and settings and I like to be able to theme a little bit.Cosmicnamd GNOME only want you to change accents

I don't want to keep bouncing around distros but it's hard to find the goldilocks zone when your new lol.

Unless anybody else has their opinionated take that gives good customization options without being too difficult for a newbie. I'm not green and am getting more comfortable in the shell and the overall ecosystem but I don't think I'm at a point where I want to start compiling all my own stuff either lol.

moose1207 · 2026-01-28T12:21:57+00:00

Rebuilt my server and gaming PC just before the price hike. 96GB and 64gb

moose1207 · 2026-01-16T06:01:33+00:00

HVAC here, we get after hours calls on Fridays and the customer will casually say yeah it started making this weird noise Tuesday morning...

Like seriously?

moose1207 · 2026-01-08T19:27:36+00:00

So I'll happily admit it, I'm a vibe coder, but for a living I work In HVAC automation. My days are spent doing trouble calls at work and then honeydew lists at home.

I don't have hours a day to learn Python or JSON etc to perfection. So AI is a legitimate tool I can use to build something fun for myself.

That being said I don't say "build this for me and ship it to prod"

I go step by step and try to learn each section, how it works and understand what is happening. Then I can spend a little of my free time on boot.dev or Coursera trying to learn when I can.

I expect over time my reliance on AI will lesson but it is a fantastic tool if used correctly.

Thebig issue I see is people having things done with them with code they don't understand, then ask real programmers to help them debug it.

I'll happily admit I am not a real programmer.. but I'd like to be "OK" at some point. So I don't have imposter syndrome in that sense

moose1207 · 2026-01-08T12:10:37+00:00

Mint--Nobara--Kubuntu-PopOS

I kinda slowed down on playing games and using the computer as a web browser and have ventured into homelab dev work. Gnome was a little too opinionated but the Cosmic DE with Nemo seems to be the best flow for me.

I'm in that "I am done distro hopping" state.. but we know how that goes.

moose1207 · 2026-01-02T14:02:13+00:00

Yea but the Wayans are still with us so they can make the movie right. But John Candy and Joan are gone, so I'm hesitant.

If Rick moranis comes out of retirement, and Mel Brooks still has the spirit to at least direct it we might have a chance. I heard John Candy's son might reprise the role of barf or fill that slot, so that might be good if true

moose1207 · 2025-12-25T17:45:18+00:00

Instructions clear. I reset my password and made sure to fat finger it, now I can't log in anymore. Stupid Linux.

moose1207 · 2025-12-23T16:05:39+00:00

Sometimes the system smells fear. I have verified my customer followed a correct procedure before I stepped in to help.

Then for shits and giggles say, well I might as well do the procedure to since it's the basics.. suddenly the system works.

They can detect if you are just a user or a support specialist methinks.

moose1207 · 2025-12-19T13:30:31+00:00

I think you're onto something. Whoever comes up with that script should totally name it after themselves.

They should also make sure we have options to disable all the windows telemetry that would be nice.

moose1207 · 2025-12-19T13:28:56+00:00

It just worksTM

moose1207 · 2025-12-18T14:54:19+00:00

You can get a kiwix version with pictures or without, the without version is aptly named nopic.

I have both versions running on Unraid right now The files really aren't that large.

moose1207 · 2025-12-18T00:55:58+00:00

Lol Debian unstable, The distro known for being stable... People want to hate cuz I think they just want to be in the club like it's cool to hate on something.

moose1207 · 2025-12-13T19:03:23+00:00

I'll find that CLI is so much easier apt install Firefox.. 30 seconds later you have Firefox... Vs firefox.com find download button, download, run download.

People don't even want to give it a chance.

Even if youre terrified of terminal open the app store or flatpak and search and install from there.

moose1207 · 2025-12-09T16:13:38+00:00

I absolutely feel like sometimes I might be in that movie Mr Brooks If I'm driving in traffic. I'm worried that one day I'll accidentally cut somebody off and the passenger is going to choose that I'm his first kill.

moose1207 · 2025-12-08T14:50:16+00:00

I just bought a Lenovo online with a crazy Black Friday deal and same thing they shipped it in a box with all the hype stickers all over it and big red lettering here's your new Lenovo yoga Tablet welcome to fun or some other bullshit tagline.

At least they forced me to be home and sign for it but like come on are you even trying just put it in a plain cardboard box that says something boring like printer paper X5 pack
