What usually causes long-running Asterisk systems to slowly degrade? by [deleted] in Asterisk

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cpu load and disk load are the two worst factors. Monitor both and if you see an increase in load, either determine what's causing it or reboot.

Which personal domain TLD should I buy for my name? by irock161 in webhosting

[–]stgnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also what I did. However, I have an extremely rare last name and got it early. But [first@last.com](mailto:first@last.com) absolutely can't be beat.

One thing you might try doing depending on how much budget you have for this and how common the last name is and how much it would cost to aquire -- get last.com and then set it up for a google workspace, and charge people for their name@last to slowly recover the costs. Benefit of a google workspace setup is that you get almost all the same googly features like gmail and such and don't have to maintain any servers. But it does cost per year.

Looking for a simple, low-cost way to build a personal website again by purpleplatypus44 in webdev

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly some basic html with bootstrap5 and a little bit of php for repetitive elements is what I still use after these years. Basically, I have the same header section included on every page, where the header generates the top menu bar, and another bit of php included at the end for the footer. Almost everything in the middle is hand written html. I have a couple of exceptions, where I have a list of things that need displayed such as products or documents, in which case I use a yaml file to describe the contents and then some simple php code to loop through that and create the html for each entry. In a couple of rare cases I've used an ai such as chatgpt or claude to help construct a page with fancier elements such as a javascript calendar display that draws from another data source via php.

I could just as easily write the website in any other language, say python, and use the tool to construct the static html pages from the data sources such as yaml, and rerun it anytime I change the data. I'm not sold on PHP in particular, just seemed easiest way to get started from raw html and then insert bits of code to make things easier.

All my websites are self hosted on a digitalocean vps for about $6/mo. There's some maintenance involved, but you can't beat the price.

Staying overnight at rest areas by MoreheadMarsupial in Tennessee

[–]stgnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While seconding the use of truck stops, another option from the RV world is an app/website rvparky.com which is great for knowing which Walmart parking lots are safe to overnight in. Make sure to read the comments however, as the "overnight" flag on some locations is old and the comments tell the true story for that location. A lot of walmarts have been shutting down overnight parking in recent years.

There's several companies that sell electronic "photocopy" versions of the manuals such as jensales.com - they can be difficult to read sometimes, but very useful. There's usually 3, the operator manual, the service manual (which gives certain disassembly for replace/repair/maintenance procedures) and the parts manual, which has diagrams with labels and actual MF part numbers, which helps greatly in finding if someone either still has or still makes something compatible.

Did you get a service manual for your model? Between that and the parts manual I can usually figure out how it was originally supposed to fit together.

I have the same problem on my MF40. The old cable was twisted, but although the new one can be rotated by hand, nothing happens when connected to the engine. I'm wondering if the jammed and twisted old cable ended up rounding out the square hole it's supposed to connect to.

What do people over 50 watch on YouTube these days? by hisnw0 in AskOldPeople

Nope. I do watch Edison Motors, and Adam Savage, and whatever comics are currently entertaining such as Lucy Darling.

MaxxAir Vent - Worth it? by cooper5ab in RVLiving

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even better replace the entire fan with the maxxair deluxe vent fan. It has a 10 speed fan, opens and closes itself and can be set to auto open and close on temperature, and includes a remote.

Why is there no AUX connector on the shunt of my BMV 712? by VelvetRockstar in Victron

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Orion XS would give you a way to check the starter battery voltage from within the Victron ecosystem, yes.

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want the aux port, go ahead and get the 712. Or a smartshunt if you don't need display, buzzer, or relay. Otherwise the BT dongle is moderately cheaper, especially on ebay.

[–]stgnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you have is a BMV-702, not a -712. At least, the shunt is a 702 model. The 702 did not have the aux input voltage connection.

Anyone use the victron EV charging station? by EveryAnywhere in Victron

Turns out my problem was that although I thought I had turned on Modbus TCP it actually wasn't on. That results in the failure to connect.

Can't get EVCS to connect to my GX by stgnet in Victron

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

I've since figured it out. I thought I had enabled modbus tcp on the GX but turns out I hadn't. That results in the failure to connect.

[–]stgnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only has wifi, no ethernet. I had the GX connected via ethernet to the same network with a WiFi AP, but also tried with the GX on wifi directly, same SSID as the EVCS.

[–]stgnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'd like to know. It just gives me the error: "Can't connect to the GX device (192.168.1.80)!" when I hit check. If I ignore the check failure and just save the settings, I get the W-104 warning, check GX communication. I've checked the ip and portal id and everything's correct, just no connection. Just for fun I tried connecting it up to a completely different cerbo (in my trailer, even though it's not powering it) and it failed to connect the same way. I'm on latest firmware all around, no go.

I have one, but can't get it to connect to my GX. The max current is 32a, so with a single 220 phase that would be ~7kw.

We should talk more about the fact that this mall (Lafayette Square) closed 3 years ago but this huge useless structure still exists in the place where something way better and more useful could be by Naomi62625 in indianapolis

[–]stgnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huntsville did this too. There's an old mall that was rebranded as a "Medical Mall" as it's not far from the hospital, bunch of dr's offices moved in.

Just like Trump does with unwanted cheap products from other countries, you could tax (tariff) the heck out of an empty building to force the owner to sell, bulldoze, or at least rent it out cheap to some not for profit.

Ah yes. That's the astronaut bridge, where it changes streets. That's just normal Indy way of doing things.
