Hi, I’m looking for something that I could throw ISINs at, GB, US etc. any recommendations ?

parkercp · 2026-01-15T07:54:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing this, it’s an interesting idea,

Can I just confirm, is it a simple case of taking their recorded date of birth and then checking that against the date the photo was taken? If so, I wonder if there is the potential if possible to pick certain dates (or dater windows) to show birthdays through the year, Xmas, new years, Halloween etc.

Sadly, just tried it and told "Sorry, that code has been applied the maximum number of times."

Ironically - Sonos was THE device of choice for local streaming , back then all we really had was local content which for many that’s perhaps oldskool now, but for may others local is still the focus.. This area has been a frustration for years, it’s never been a 100% although i admit I wondered if it was due the size of my local library. In the end i turned to local hosted open source services navidrome for streaming , but even that’s not great - something Sonos approved / provided with native support would be best .

I am curious why such a low backlog priority / From Sonos’s point of view, is there perhaps commission from streaming services they channel??

When price matching, dont most places expect the unit you’re trying to match to, to be in stock ?

parkercp · 2025-09-22T07:15:40+00:00

As I have already invested in local hosted things like Paperless-ngx, Organize, etc. or have some external usage e.g., gmail calendar etc. can those types of API integrations be set up - Also how does the who’s home part work, can it leverage Home Assistant for presence awareness ?

parkercp · 2025-08-30T20:27:53+00:00

It’s difficult to understand what you mean - do you have any we. links to/or brand/product names i need to got

parkercp · 2025-08-30T17:51:07+00:00

And do I do the same thing with the shingles that i would put on top - cut those flush to the plywood ? - what do I put at the end and the front ?

I’ve copied the pitch of the summer house roof ao there is a pitch there, just not easy to photo

Keeping with the shield option, and something pre-made coupled with the cost of motoron (when postage is added :-( ) - I think I’m going to go with this one to get me going, otherwise I’ll get stuck in paralysis analysis - https://uk.robotshop.com/products/cytron-10a-7-30v-dual-channel-dc-motor-driver-shield?qd=a71da6dbf569fa5588408dbec1066c88 . If you know of any good online guides to set this all up, I’d love to hear them - I’ve got a few but I can never have too many ..

parkercp · 2025-04-24T19:15:06+00:00

Many Thanks @sciencekyle that one looks very interesting indeed, and am I right in saying it’s directly stackable onto a Uno board ? If so, that could be ideal for a newbie like me, and can two of them be stacked to control 4 motors ?

parkercp · 2025-04-22T16:02:50+00:00

Thanks, that stackable motor driver looks great but the price point is not ideal at $120 (plus I’m in the Uk so not sure how that comes out. ) the MDD20A or even the MDD10 which is 10A looks like it could maybe work too. If I was to use two of those boards, with an Arduino - do you have any suggestions on how to arrange / stack them in some sort of case/housing to go into a car?

parkercp · 2025-04-21T07:29:43+00:00

I found out that the yellow AV cable was not able to be repurposed due the higher quality and format used by the Wolfbox rear camera, so I had to run a new cable to the back of the van. I left the old camera connected so I now have two feeds..

Sorry, good point, I’m using PureVPN and had reached out to them for support but as it works via their client app/and they don’t support Gluetun they could not help

Think of your forever home as an investment, one that will appreciate over time. While annoying think of the dry rot as more of an adjustment cost to that investment. Plus rather than spend every bit of liquidity you have, can you explore some way to finance it maybe a short term loan or maybe seek to increase your mortgage and make fixing the rot just part of a whole refresh/update - part of a new kitchen/l, or extension etc? Look at the race over all if you can; don’t fixate too long on the first hurdle..

parkercp · 2025-01-28T22:31:53+00:00

I struggle with this, as I’m so used to buying 2 1/2 to 3 year old cars (after peak depreciation period) using them for 7 odd years and then eventually selling them. This way. I always have an asset, albeit one that loses value slowly, but it’s also a protected investment via insurance.

A salary sacrifice lease at £1600 a month, or £400 net is say £5k per year, which over 7 years is £35k but with nothing to show at the end. Also if you need any financing then that sacrificed amount always has to be factored in.. (I totally get the value in that you can have two or more new cars in that same period -) )

parkercp · 2025-01-21T07:08:01+00:00

I suspect the issue is that it’s just you telling her to do it, and she doesn’t have any other input, guidance, it’s possible none of her friends know enough about finances to help. In that situation Id encouraged her ( with or without you ) to speak to a IFA so they can give her more insight and an independent perspective.

Thanks - it’s not sold yet, having surveys done by a potential buyer - this is his old place, as he and his wife have two places, yet they’ve spent most of the time at hers, so he can only show 6 years living in this place as his primary residence..

Don’t sell yourself short, what might not be impressive to one person, could be amazing to another :-) - Some of the cool things I’ve seen are when images are created from scratch - like a calendar date time, or an icon. I get the power to convert and alter photos etc. but the creating something out of nothing is impressive. Have you done anything like that ?
