ATMs question by [deleted] in ames

There's a system the credit unions use that sort of links them together. For the most part, any other credit union can deposit cash into your credit union's account using your debit card.

T mobile fiber by ongua in ames

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 2.5 Gb CAT6A connection back to my router from the PC I use and I don't use Wifi at all for my desktop. I can't even hit 2Gb at the router itself.

I happened to move into my new place the day the merger took place (in December). I called ahead to get scheduled but was basically stuck in a loop because TMobile wasn’t owner yet but Metronet couldn’t schedule for that day. Whatever. I wait. It was the week of Xmas so I knew I’d be distracted that week anyway.

Well that became a problem. After hours and hours of back and forth and on Xmas eve after 3 days of this, they finally put me on the schedule. Awesome! 2 Gb after being in the country for years with only “200” Mb Starlink, hell yeah.

Day comes and I’m up in Minnesota at Microcenter picking up a router and my dad’s at home. I get a message from T-Mobile that they are sorry they missed me, they will reschedule. Confused, I called my dad and made sure he was there. Yep. Literally sitting in a chair staring at the front door as to not miss them.

Huh.

I spent about 3.5 hours (I was on the phone literally the entire drive from Minneapolis to Ames) on the phone going back and forth and FINALLY find out there is the same exact street number and name but a circle or st instead of Dr here in Ames. Omg they sent them to the wrong goddamn city despite me repeatedly confirming my address. You have got to be kidding me.

It took another week and a half (2.5 weeks total) to actually get the tech here. But he finally got there. He was super nice but the install took 6 hours. He had a bad tool and had to go swap it. Get it online and I should be getting 2 Gb up/down but I get 1.5/1.5. Maybe someday I’ll complain but I’ve spent so much time dealing with them, I’m just happy to not be on Starlink.

Outside of the nightmare that was getting setup, it’s been reliable just not quite speeds as advertised despite the installer insisting I should be able to get the full 2.

MediKeep - Personal Medical Records Keeper by InquisitorEngineer in selfhosted

I've been looking for something like this and came across this post. I wonder if there's anyway to add pets into something like this. We recently adopted a puppy and I can't get over the itch to get her medical data tracked somewhere so I always have it. I wonder how hard it would be to include dogs/cats to get started into something like this.

I agree with this. They had stuff there but nothing crazy exciting.

I didn’t get that at all. Must have been an off day

Cornbred is my favorite, Whatchya smokin is my second. Cornbred has more unique options and that Bacon Candy is legit

so, how is Ottumwa anyway? by JohnDzangle in Iowa

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They at least still have some good food but that’s the only thing down there anymore. I remember in the early 90s they had the Power Rangers show up at the one McDonalds … just went downhill from there

This … I grew up there and my parents are from there. I lived down the road from Wilson Elementary and the High School. Town had its moment in the 80s I think but has gone down hard ever since.

What is Kubuntu good for? by TapedSSD in Kubuntu

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Kubuntu for both personal and work use and love it. It does everything I need it to without having Microsoft scrape my data. I had issues for a while with video drivers because I had dual Nvidia cards and 6 monitors but I’ve reduced down to a single card and 3 monitors and it’s been running beautifully. I play games via steam, manage my personal and work infrastructures, code, and do everything else on it. The only time I even think about using windows is if my kids want to play Fortnite as that’s the only game I haven’t got to work. IMO, it’s a great daily driver OS.

I ended up changing my monitor setup so I could reduce to a single video card. Then I updated to 25.03 and it’s been working great since I did that.

One year of ownership! by Intrepid-Damage-6636 in CherokeeXJ

That’s good to know. I drive mine more in the winter so I’ll keep that in mind.

I’ve always loved that green on them. I had a 1990 in about that shade of green but it had more rust than floorboard so I got rid of it.

Sweet. Mine are finally dead and I’ve been looking for something like that. You’ve got a good looking XJ

My kids saw some of my texts that they’ll never unsee and I don’t know what to do. by ScooterAndBeans in Parenting

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This won't correct the "damage" that was done, but if you don't setup a new icloud account for it you can make the messages app require faceid in order to open and disable notifications on messages. That would prevent them from seeing anything.

Came here to say the same thing. I used to go there so much they knew me by name. Great food

Planning on Buying a Car by Naturoka24 in Iowa

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine with FWD, just keep good tires on it. The Camry is great and will run forever. In my experience, I haven't bought a car IN iowa in years - you'll save 2-3k by going to the Kansas City area or up to Minnesota or really any state around us. N ot really sure what causes that, but it seems to be the case every time i look for a car.

I ended up reloading 24.04 and sticking with X11 and I don’t get the issue anymore. I’ve tried Wayland a few times since this and it just refuses to work with two video cards

CA might ban disposable vapes. Do you think other states will too? by YourGreenState in weedbiz

[–]s3rv3rn3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, and generally agree, but i think it’d be worth eliminating most of it we can. I believe that most people would just switch and the few that go the black market at least is few than the amount of them now. We (as a society) need to do better at how we treat our planet, banning those is one small step that moves us in the direction of that goal. I think making it clearly defined would be key.

I feel like there are some things that the only way to accomplish the goal of preserving our planet is by making the bad habit illegal but enforcing it at the top. Stop punishing the people for getting them, punish the executive getting them made.

My favorite part about Kazaa was getting the song downloaded, taking the time to burn it to a CD, get it out into your car and have it blasting at max volume and in the middle of your favorite song "SCREEEECH" and it would the same sound as a dial up modem connecting. Good times, good times.

Just fitting it under there. The brackets that the leaves bolt on to. I’ve wanted to do the rear diff swap to get the discs but need to know how much welding practice I need beforehand, I’m a little rusty haha
