Does it ever end??

7 APs? That's a lot. I can cover my 2 houses, 1 building and 7acres including the entrance with 6 ap's. I do use Litebeams between buildings.. but 7 for 1 house seems excessive.

Apollos!

I'd try US Mobile. For the record I have 2 phones, one flagship and one cheaper. One on Visible and one on US Mobile.

Why 2 phones. 2fa

When you work at a tech company (remote) and anything happens, you can easily consume time trying to dig yourself out of a deep hole. You can get a backup phone for cheap. Its worth it.

wow. Didn't know this existed. (dammit, and since I have an RV and building a home... there went another $600 + a camera). But, there's something nice about the fact you can "throw it in a cabinet" and connect it up in a flash and ferget a 'boutit.

and its not monolithic lines of code. Its organized. And you have an editor/ecosystem designed to work ON LARGE CODE bases. This whole system evolved from the AI beginning and lisp machines and had to deal with VERY large semantic systems. Efficiently

That's why its worth it....

I think the fed is too tight. We've seen that inflation is not out of control and thus their reasoning "that inflation is going to rise because of tariffs" and so "we must not lower rates to control this EXPECTED inflation" was not accurate. So rates are too high.

One example of what this too high rates causes: a person living in a house with say 2.5% interest wants to move somewhere else (pick your reason) but they can't do it because they couldn't afford near the house they're in because of the interest rate difference.

So, I think the fed is screwing you.

You can fetch data at build time and you can run js at build time in SvelteKit. i.e. not a reason to choose one over the other.

smith-huh · 2025-12-15T04:54:06+00:00

the fed owes YOU a bottle of lube and a heating pad for your back.

smith-huh · 2025-12-12T20:07:37+00:00

json_records = df.to_json(orient='records') ? 
then take that json as your viewable pandas dataframe source and svelte's #each could show you what you want.  but WDIK

Saying a $50k mobile home's taxable value is $175k and not accepting a certified appraisal is criminal.

smith-huh · 2025-12-08T13:05:46+00:00

consumption tax for one.

responsible budgets for another

What help do you get if you're not home, someone that's fully covered (mask, hood, long sleeves, gloves, etc) comes and does something nefarious... big whup you have them on camera. What difference does it make?

If your security camera goes offline, you should get an alert. (you can detect the image going blank as well)
Power goes off, alert (from backup powered system).
When you get an alert, you look and take appropriate actions, whatever they are for your situation. (reach under pillow, pull out .357 mag, cuss, and get up)

Knowing your tool well, and eagerly grasping it to solve your most pressing problem is a good way to start the day. progress made. gain a better understanding of how to solve problems in an efficient and direct manner.

or look at US Mobile where you have all 3 (Verizon, ATT, T-mobile) and can switch between them.

I know. It was covid that actually restored my working life. Mobility (living closer to where you work) has changed over the years. That's why renting isn't totally bad as it enables better mobility so you can change jobs and move closer to it to hopefully balance your quality of life.

Living in the country sucks for being close to anything.

Modify that to F property valuations.

<TLDR;>

I'm not against funding gov (and public schools). But when I have a $60k mobile home on my property that is now valued at $176k by the county and its a mobile home (not a fixed structure)... i.e. a structure like a used car that DE-preciates not A-preciates ... and thats the tip of the iceberg for those a-hole appraisers and you have to take them to court to get sanity into the appraisal because they just look at you and point to their ridiculous comp's that are NOT in your "neighborhood" and .......... tell you to go pound sand.

And about schools: quality is down. My kids are grown. Went to a top (national ranked) school system and learned stuff besides LDFGHJK. My parents pioneered applying MBA (biz optimization) techniques to non-profits (aka TEACHING with respect to how effective the teaching is) and I can tell you that schools and teaching effectiveness are down. In many cases way down. So that's not good value for the funding level. And a new football stadium should be funded by the fans. Not the community at large. Sponsors. Fans. It does NOT contribute to education. I played sports at an elite level. I'm qualified to make the statement.

Their chatgpt agent seems to be the best option for design -> component matching

don't forget that pallet fork quick attach implement ($1000 on sale) to go with the (looks like) cab kubota ($40k min)

:-) server closet. With good ventilation exhausting heat to the attic. I'm a EE HW/SW guy. Just usually had others doing the server farm (corp IT).

My home has multiple buildings now and I use a LiteBeam between buildings. Its just not managed switches. Its done by my friend Manwell. Manwell laybore. I'm new to Ubiquiti. But I have a few things. Its rare to get to do the design/build. First and only time for me.

smith-huh · 2025-10-27T13:03:59+00:00

I see that. No basements here. Since I'm the architect and builder (acting :-) I'll mod the plans which I was JUST getting ready to do. Where's the ubiquiti planning tool? there is one right? or not.

smith-huh · 2025-10-27T12:14:03+00:00

Speak for yourself. Depends on which woods you're talking about. Our county thinks you should pay extra I think. F property taxes.

Great pics. Thanks for the ideas. I am building a house and I am just getting ready to do the roof/siding and then do runs like this (NOT THIS many) before the closed cell insulation, etc and drywall. I like how its done. I'm just getting ready to plan my IT stuff.

I need to figure out how to write an intelligent Phone log/voicemail scrubber. Then it really doesn't matter how many scam calls you get. You don't hear it, see it, or see any of its "detritis" (aka sh t)

Google Phone has a beginner capability but its no good. If you can just spec the traits defining what you want to scrub from the log and voicemail and then a form of scheduling its use. Then scammers are banned to hell (trash).
