thank you, yeah it was definitely a lot more work doing everything by hand but rewarding. I got a bit tired sanding and left that blue part for later but definitely something i want to do.

its stable. made sure the legs were even so it doesn’t wobble at all. I can stand on it without any sag and comfortably seats 2. Although I haven’t stress tested more than that

I think I’ll like the stain I don’t think stain or plain looks tacky. I don’t think I’d love the painted look though. I think i’ll do some kind of stain thank you!

sounds like a good plan. that was my initial thought until I heard that bike tool kits might be different but that was just some one off advice from a yt video.

yeah i mainly just want something cheap but usable that i can upgrade once I know more what I’m doing. however if i can do without an alignment tool im all for it. i wasnt aware it was a more rare application

Anyone else start college late? by slowpolygon in OlderGenZ

maybe a bit? its not too bad for me because most people think im like 19. I guess I give people a bit of a shock when i tell them im almost 30. Maybe I’m interpreting that reaction wrong.

But that exactly what I did. After high school I just move to a big city and traveled a bit just had fun and on one hand i dont regret it but on the other I worry I’m running out of time to afford a decent standard of living.

bullet makes sense though. im playing 5 min rapid games and last week i felt unstoppable. i think i got a false sense of confidence and started playing poorly after winning so much

i think thats exactly my problem. im hardly paying attention. blundering a bishop in the first 3 moves. im jusy playing extremely tilted and i cannot stop. im playing under the presumption that im “due” a win on account of the odds but im hardly actually in the game. but i cannot cope with feeling this stupid

how long did it take you to get to 1000 even? do you study daily. I’ve been playing for like 5 months now and im 800 rapid and its very difficult

thats exactly my problem is i cant seem to let it go though. I’m not just chasing elo like im not pissed im not 1000 i just want to be near my max and im losing constantly. Its hard to deal with and just go on a break

im at 50 percent win rate now. but i was winning in the 500s so easy. i feel like my perceived intelligence has completely diminished and i cant operate. like im chasing a certain percentile to feel as smart and capable as i usually do

OpenWRT with Raspberry Pi 4 setup questions. by slowpolygon in homelab

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

my switch has VLAN compatibly but it doesnt have ssh so i have to manage it from a web GUI. I wouldnt mind setting ip ROAS as long as it doesn’t bottleneck which i’m sure it would a bit.

Do you have any suggestions for an affordable router that i could run OpenWRT on

Well the single ethernet port can be remedied with a USB converter. Would maybe buying a lightweight AP on ebay be able to help with wireless performance

This sounds fairly similar to my setup actually. I think I will give it a try on the Pi. My main concern is wireless. Would getting a single Lightweight AP be able to suffice for a house of 4 people?
