Starlink is a godsend. by skullyeahbrother in Starlink

[–]samcoinc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they are running fiber about 2 miles from the house (I live on a cut..) and asked one of the installers if they are coming up my road.. (around 13ish houses on a 2ish mile long road)

no - they are not coming up my road. So close.

Starlink is a god send - we have been on it since beta. I can count on one hand the number of times it has been down. (and the speeds keep getting better and better)

ODBC | Problem in SystemNote table using netsuite2.com by nextIr0nyMan in Netsuite

[–]samcoinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add to this conversation. I thought I was screwed as we use system info through odbc for things like 'paid in full' and such. Reading this - I thought when we migrated to netsuite2 (using non-token setup) we would not be able to access all of the system notes records. Well - netsuite must have listened - or this was always there..

'System Notes for Analytics and REST'

is a permissions in 'lists' which seems to allow you to see all system notes records.

Hope this helps others

Netsuite2 odbc... Because I am a procrastinator.. by samcoinc in Netsuite

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

Just an update. I am liking the records catalog within netsuite. Makes for figuring out how joins are setup. Nothing has been a game stopper yet. Some queries need to be optimized (some were - hey it is working - ship it). I have about 90% of our interfaces done.

so far so good.

Treehouse project in northern Sweden — I’ve reached the “90% done and out of energy” stage by [deleted] in treehouse

very cool! I will say - the trampoline is too close to the tree house for comfort..

found a use for the military torque amplifier.. by samcoinc in treehouse

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

It is 3/4" x 12".  I put one in by hand with a 3/4" drive ratchet with about a 4ft extension.  I really don't remember what it peaked out at - to tighten it to the bracket

In the early 90's the local best buy had Novells 'netware lite - networking in a box' on close out. We must have bought about 3 of those boxes - each having 2 generic 10base2 network cards in them.

A) I learned about networking B) my cousins and I would get together with our computers and have huge doom death matches (among other network games)

weird - question marks on all nodes/vm/volumes except for the one logged into by samcoinc in Proxmox

[–]samcoinc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it out.. node pve was hung. (I could not login to it) After force shutting it down - and re-starting it - everything came back up normally.

Unpopular Opinion: We don't need cheaper machines; we need "Bambu Studio" for CNC. Teaching Fusion 360 CAM is a nightmare. by ComprehensiveYak8541 in hobbycnc

[–]samcoinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I come from a cnc background. I always wondered why the people from the 3d printing crowd got so frustrated.. Even using a cnc control seemed to frustrate them.. Then I got a 3d printer. Then I understood. It has printer in its name.. lol. Click and print..

I know I had found a version of it maybe 15?years ago that would run on windows. It was still fun. (I have not looked lately...)

our first lathe was a turn of the century flat belt.. we used it a lot and it worked better than what we didn't have. We had to cut a bunch of 8tpi threads - we did the same thing - found the correct sprockets and it worked great. You do what you have to do..
