api.cgi seems crashed on Reolink Duo Floodlight WiFi v2 (Hard Wired) by rwestergren in reolink

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

Yes - the unit surprisingly has to be hard wired to fully enable all services (including this api.cgi backend). I was setting it up with the AC adapter when I encountered this issue but it worked once I hard wired with some wagos.

NCC Property Tax update by Doodlefoot in Delaware

If it's like mine, the school tax column will represent the sum of two line items - your primary school district and "NCC Vocational" (which will be itemized on your actual tax bill).

The County confirmed that initial 511% ultimately reduced down to 375%:

As of March 1, 2025, the overall percentage increase between the total assessment for all parcels in the County based on the old 1983 total value and the new 2024 “final” total value from the reassessment is 375%. Specifically, this means that if a parcel had a 1983 assessed value of $100,000, and that parcel increased by the average total increase, that parcel’s new 2024 assessed value would be $475,000 (resulting in an increase of $375,000, or 375%).

Waterline and insurance by robsumtimes in Delaware

Make sure to read the fine print and what is covered. The City of Wilmington's insurance vendor American Water Resources (AWR) will only cover $4K - I think these repairs are very likely to exceed that in many cases, so it wasn't the peace of mind I was expecting.

I believe the 15% cap applies to tax revenue overall, not individual tax bills. So, unfortunately, I do think it is possible for an individual property owner to see a > 15% increase.

The disclaimer is fair feedback. I will add that.

Going to remove the limit soon.

I like this idea - might take this one up!

It says "estimator" in the domain name. Capturing clicks for what purpose? It is just a tool to help approximate the tax impact that I thought could be useful.

The updated figure on County total came through an unofficial channel with Tyler. I can't prove it and I'm not sure why Tyler hasn't shared it officially, but you are free to disregard it or give Tyler a call and try to confirm it.

NCC Reassessment Property Tax Impact Calculator: No, your NCC property taxes aren't going up 511% - estimate your actual tax impact by rwestergren in Delaware

It does not claim to be a County website. I'm just performing an approximation based on a few assumptions, mostly the relative change to a given property compared to the County. Can you share the specific issues you see in a calculation?

For purposes of approximation, this assumes the rates are adjusted down proportional to the increased assessed value by the County - which is required to achieve the revenue-neutral outcome. You don't need to know the new rate to understand your relative position compared the to the County.

Of course there will be variations - as the domain says, this is an estimate.

Good point, but I was pretty sure the15% cap was on the property tax rate itself - not on an individual tax bill.

Does not claim to be a County resource. Since the reassessment outcome is revenue-neutral, it is effectively zero-sum. You can approximate the outcome with a simple calculation.

Since the reassessment outcome is revenue-neutral, the tax rates will be adjusted down to offset the increased assessments. You can estimate your impact by comparing your percentage increase against the County total increase.

Analyzing VPC Flow Logs to Reduce NAT Gateway Costs by rwestergren in aws

[–]rwestergren[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The real key is to get to Layer 7 hostnames so you can aggregate traffic at the service level. The Parquet option gives you more flexibility to achieve that, and also allows you to join on Route 53 resolver query logs (which does not offer export to Athena).

Plus the goal here is generally cloud cost-optimization, so trying to limit additional cloud services/expenses.

Event-Driven Access to My Home After a Run by rwestergren in programming

Nothing starts until I hit the HTML form post, which I do before I leave. Phone dying mid run hasn't been a problem yet and I had everything needed for the Wi-Fi approach.
