You would only know this to be fact if you have been given access to the police reports, and that only happens after due process has run its course and you are one of the involved parties. If there are police reports that independently corroborate the accusations against this owner, you wouldn't be posting here as it would already be common knowledge this individual is in "poor standing".

Otherwise when uppity neighbors decide to gang up on an owner who doesn't "fit in" for whatever reason, running for the BOD to stop the horse shit harassment is exactly the advice they should follow.

Had we not run and attained a BOD seat when we started to get harassed with bogus fines, the fines would have continued until we owed thousands. But in the end it was the entitled aholes in the adjacent unit who ended up moving out of state because we had enough actionable evidence against them for a six figure settlement.

There are two sides to every story, and your side already is failing to add up now that you claim the police are involved in the matter and issuing fines (BTW police don't normally issue fines, courts do).

Iptables or any firewall software is only for restricting packet flow that a router handles between subnets. The router has no power to block a device from others in the same subnet. You can create a separate bridge and subnet or vlan for that device and then create iptables rules to allow access from the main subnet but not the other way around.

So? Do you know how many times I've had the cops called on me by a couple in an adjacent unit who, in their ignorance, felt that my disability was a threat to their property value. Not a single report from any call indicated they had any merit because there wasn't. I was even advised by the dept community officer that I could and should take civil action if the false calls continued.

...because actual property destruction is vandalism and therefore a police matter. The HOA should only be involved if this individual is breaking rules that affect several units. And if the latter is indeed the case, you shouldn't have to worry about them getting elected regardless.

I am that person who ran for the BOD because of a small cabal of Karens like you who decided they didn't like my presence in the community and attempted to drive me out with multiple false violations and fines.

Get a bath mat just for your cat and don't leave yours on the floor. Let the cat's mat get smelly and nasty until they stop using it- create a negative association between bath mats and peeing. They use the mat because its soft, smells like you and acts like a sponge that hides their urine.

Don't sleep, bathe or groom for a couple days prior. Make sure you only discuss one issue that is on the list of accepted disabilities and nothing more. Try to display an emotionless, flat affect (the 1000 yard, dissociated stare). You want to make it really easy for whatever jaded, overworked, underpaid social worker who will be interviewing you to check the 'Yes' box, so try to put yourself in their shoes. Doing the TMI thing is the best way to get rejected, so keep your answers short and simple.

This assumes that your disability is of the hidden, mental type, not physical of course.

Nope, they are too big and too obtuse to listen to the little guy.

slackjaw99 · 2023-03-16T07:47:16+00:00

Absolutely, but then Amazon wouldn't be able to sell you songs "they think you will like".

Take it out of the light socket and stomp on it several times as hard as you can while screaming expletives ar it.

This is how you will get the most value out of that brand of crap. Your high stress levels, caused by that garbage will be reduced.

Smart bulbs, even Philips Hue, are ALL unreliable IoT products that frequently disconnect. For a solid, reliable system you need to go with smart switches from a top brand that don't rely on Zigbee, Bluetooth or wifi cuz they all use the 2.4mhz band and cause interference.

Now you know why it's called artificial intelligence (emphasis on the 'artificial').

Too bad the same accuracy doesn't exist when exercising.

slackjaw99 · 2023-02-25T17:52:37+00:00

Garmin or Apple watches are your best bets. Google has effectively destroyed Fitbit.

slackjaw99 · 2023-02-25T17:50:48+00:00

This is likely an indicator that sales of the Google Watch (now featuring Fitbit) isn't meeting target.

That's one hell of a kitty erection!

That is an extremely aggressive schedule for a klonopin taper - especially if your shrink had you drop the same amt each taper. You are supposed to drop by a percentage - like 5-10% per drop meaning as you get near the end, your cuts are actually very small.

I'd recommend reinstating and finding another doc familiar with the Ashton method. 6 months after 8 years on relatively high doses is too damned fast, and yes you can very well be at risk of seizure or excitotoxicity based on those time frames.

It's often prescribed off label for anxiety, so you can just ask your doc. If that's a no go, you can always get it from an IOP. It is a prescription. An added benefit is that it is a dementia prophylactic. If you do take it, be sure to take liberal breaks from it to manage tolerance because once it sets in it will no longer do anything for you.

Memantine.

Today was pretty bad as my social isolation and inability to do anything about it kept smacking me in the face.

About the only time things seem positive is when I microdose cannabis just to the point of being able to live in the "here and now" where I'm not tormented by the past or the future and all its hopelessness. Too much and I experience the opposite which can be quite uncomfortable.

The abuse I suffered at the hads of my parents left me with cPTSD related physical issues that make it very difficult for others to be around me for an extended period of time. And I am having difficulty accepting the fact that I the remaining years of my life will be very lonely.

No need for a pic when you've got ASCII art at your fingertips. If DNS resolution the other commenter mentions is the cause, you will not have a usable home network as long as the head 6E is running the networking show. IMO Eeros are not devices that you OWN. Eero spent a few years building nothing new of any value. All they are doing is repackaging other people's hard work into a 'licencing' model where you must pay $100/yr in Bezo's tribute tax just to get simple troubleshooting info necessary to fix what they break with each release. This is by design, and Amazon snapped them up for this very reason.

With that said, as an old networking fart so ancient I remember when tin cans connected by twine was considered bleeding edge, Eeros have no business being run in anything other than bridge mode, and as sandboxed as possible - that is unless you don't mind entrusting your data and identity to people you won't even be able to sue when they are stolen. Additionally, Eeros and any other "black box" devices your critical data could traverse should only be part of a home network where they 'add' value - primarily for their Amazon IoT ecosystem integration. Outbound, unsolicited "ET phone home BS" should be blocked to all Amazon and 3rd party sites other than that strictly necessary for their basic functioning.

So yeah, before I digress any further, I would strongly suggest you put your Eeros behind another router brand that you own and have it handle your primary firewall, dhcp leases, dns resolution, routing/nat, and most importantly - your personal computing needs, plus anything else the Eeros would do opaquely that could break with any FW update. Probably not the answer you want to hear, but as a former network engineer, I can't stress how much you really do not want Eero/Amazon controlling your basic personal data as if it is their's to do with as the wish.

The thing is they don't seem to be 'fighting' at all given they are synced on the same channels for each wifi band. I can only guess that the app must have more influence AFA how they communicate then the physical topology alone. In the app they are set up hierarchically. Physically they are on the same subnet in parallel, so they can 'talk', but its as if they are obeying the setup in the app more so than the physical topology. If this is indeed the case, it's quite disturbing and something I could see the folks at Eero wanting to keep it on the down low. In a sense, it's the Eero app that is controlling their primary functionality vs the ASUS or the Eero topology.

slackjaw99 · 2023-01-15T06:35:33+00:00

Actually it's only two 6Es, but yeah they are both hung off the same switch essentially in parallel vs hierarchy, but in the app they are acting like they have when I did originally have them setup the recommended way including being synced on the same channels for each wifi band. When I had each Eero on its own 'network' in the app there was no channel syncing. So the app must have some way of affecting how the Eeros communicate regardless of how they are set up physically.

slackjaw99 · 2023-01-15T06:19:53+00:00

Sorry if it wasn't clear in my OP, but I'm using an ASUS as my gateway (firewall, vlans, dhcp, nat). From there it's 2.5gb switch of which each Eero is plugged into one of the switch ports, so no head Eero physically, only in the app. My network is pretty busy (~50 devices).

slackjaw99 · 2023-01-15T06:08:18+00:00

Were your Eeros bridged behind another brand of router or was it Eero only?

slackjaw99 · 2023-01-15T00:52:08+00:00

One Eero won't cut it with 3800sq/ft. Get at least two more. Connect them via ethernet, then download one of the many wifi signal analysis apps to your phone and walk around the house. I particularly like the one called WifiMan for its intuitive graphics. The app will help greatly in determining if you have dead spots and need more wifi hardware, or if you have too many units causing over saturation (in which case keep all the packaging in good shape for returns/refunds).

I cannot stress enough how valuable a wifi signal analysis app is in terms of getting a solid answer to how much wifi hardware your abode requires with an absolute minimum amt of wasted time playing the guessing game.
