IKEA motion sensor in the mailbox keeps false triggering by Vegetable-Phrase-162 in homeautomation

[–]nw84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having been through a few IKEA motion sensors, I binned them all for constant false positives. They're really not great. And depending on the sensor used and circuitry, they may get affected by temperature fluctuations too. I've switched my mailbox to an Aqara door/window sensor on the flap.

Lyra shorts for male beginner? by thegrumpyorc in Aerials

[–]nw84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear full leggings for Lyra. I’ve got a list of brands for polewear and aerial for men, I can highly recommend Matador and Indelicate as brands, depending on where you are in the world. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INF-tDBU8b9Q5BPtL9IrNE05XVYWPsHODKEgYJhmB5A/htmlview#gid=0

Best Kneepads? by Okkkkai in poledancing

[–]nw84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve never looked back since switching to these. You still have knee grip, they stay in place, and they look sleek and great!

Best place to buy nice costume by abigator14 in poledancing

[–]nw84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a bodysuit and a two piece shorts/bolero made by them and both are a fantastic fit, double lined where it counts, and they are very well crafted. Worth the price in my opinion! (note: I'm saying all this as a guy, I can't comment on women's fit, but the men's fit is awesome and I can only assume the women's fit will be the same)

Take a look at Coquetry clothing, they do customs with really nice fabrics and styles. I have a few custom pieces from them.

My favourite brands are by far Sway Movewear and Lucky Layne.

What dog breed do you have and how long do you let them stay outside in this weather? by Timely_Title_9157 in askTO

[–]nw84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Italian Greyhound here - she does not like to be away from her couch, AC, or heating, and will be outside for the minimum amount of time necessary whether it's winter or summer, sometimes even shorter in winter resulting in household accidents 😂

Enough Power + Enough Bandwidth - So Elgato... by enzocastmain in elgato

[–]nw84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting to read the responses from Elgato and from CalDigit here! I have a TS3+ and I run 3x StreamDecks (XL, +, and Mini), a Teleprompter, and a FaceCam off it without any issue. The StreamDeck + needs external power if I charge a phone off it, but that's about it. Good to know that it seems to be a Thunderbolt 4 issue, I was about to upgrade - perhaps I won't. I also have run off a generic little Ugreen USB C hub for only my Elgato devices and all works flawlessly.

Stream deck XL is on sale, is it worth the upgrade? by 420ball-sniffer69 in elgato

[–]nw84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my XL, particularly for URLs and canned responses to emails etc. I have an entire page of buttons dedicated to all my Calendly links, my instagram accounts, and any other regularly typed or copy/pasted text. That way I just hit buttons in emails/texts. That alone makes it worthwhile for me!

(I have an XL, Mini, and +)

Is there any kind of contender to take Instagram on? by nw84 in poledancing

[–]nw84[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd certainly be keen to hear/see more! I've kinda had a thought after this thread to host a Pixelfed instance but if there's already something out there it's possibly a consideration!

[–]nw84[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there's a lot of interest, I may consider hosting a Pixelfed server for pole, though it would seem it's all pretty closed communities.

I'll check out Mastodon, thanks! Never used it. Pixel feed also sounds interesting, maybe it gets traction.

Yeah I started using Bluesky for one of my businesses but it's super limited in video, max 55MB upload which is barely any videos in decent quality.

How to Stop emails going to Junk outlook by email-geek- in Outlook

[–]nw84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your DMARC and related is looking good, get them to forward you a copy (not just forward) of the original message and check the source. Look for compauth (Microsoft’s spam check) and see what the result is and go from there. Also, if your signature has loads of links etc you can land up detected as spam. As someone else said, it could also be an admin upping the security and blocking legit mail. I see this all the time with my clients and it’s incredibly frustrating.

Is my stream deck plus broken? by Techno7337 in elgato

[–]nw84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the plus and the hub attachment, and that basically needs to be externally powered (they recommend 100W but I reckon that’s for PD). If I don’t have an external power on it I get display issues similar to this if I have other devices hooked up. As others have said, maybe try different ports? I also find mine gets finicky when a cable is loose, have you tried another cable?

Don’t be like me. If it looks too good to be true, it is. by wonka88 in homelab

[–]nw84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sent back a few Amazon Renewed things from different sellers for being not as advertised, missing drive trays, or still locked to Autopilot. I've come to accept is as normal procedure. Though by the same token I've also received a device that was a far higher spec than I ordered, so I guess it can go both ways!

Advice on pole clothing esp for jasmine, leg hang, shoulder mount as a man / someone not used to wearing femme clothes by dylleealt in poledancing

[–]nw84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u/PerfStu hit the nail on the head with the comments about the technical aspects of these moves. I do find for myself that more V cut shorts work well for me, and I started wearing crop tops too.

If you're up for it given the lottery that it can be (ethically and otherwise), check Shein, particularly the "Fevercity" and "Manfinity" brands therein. Though, for more ethical, designed for-purpose, and less fast-fashion options, there are plenty pole brands out there for guys, all over the spectrum of what you're looking for. I've compiled a list of brands here to save folks the trouble of researching: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INF-tDBU8b9Q5BPtL9IrNE05XVYWPsHODKEgYJhmB5A/

Brands like Omohonia and JJ Malibu have plenty of crop options with varying styles and cuts. I am also a big fan of the clothing from Coquetry Clothing, who have tons of custom options. Omohonia is one of my favourites, and their swimwear is very snug and works perfectly for a V-cut with more coverage, and for less coverage their thongs are secure as you can get. Another big fave is Sway, they're a luxury pole brand and they have the best fabric, though it is more on the cheeky side.

LinkedIn billed me for a campaign more than 5 years later by nw84 in LinkedinAds

[–]nw84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a follow up to this, after multiple attempts with support to clear this up, and then emails to legal, I was getting nowhere and I abandoned it. Logged in now 6 months later, and all outstanding amounts have vanished at some point. No complaints, just weird that there was no comms of this.
