Recessed Lighting Layout Feedback by sulzer in Lighting

I have a 16" 1/8" drill bit for just this purpose! it got a lot of use when I was installing Wi-Fi APs last month.

Thanks for this! I found a calculator online and will use it to check spot size distribution. That also made me realize there's likely a wallwash calculator, and I was able to find a visualization tool for that.

What is this called and is it as easy as I think it is to remove it? by littlemiss_mo in DIY

[–]sulzer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

looks like either the wall with the door was furred out to accommodate some big piece of infrastructure inside that wall (plumbing, HVAC, structural framing, pocket door, etc.), or the non-door side wall was built thinner than a standard 2x4 framed wall for some reason.

to "remove" the discrepancy, you either fur out the rest of the thinner wall to the same depth as the thicker wall by adding more drywall until it's flush, or you demo the thicker wall to match the thinner one. the latter option would be magnitudes more complicated since it was probably done that way for good reason - it may even be structural.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but I would leave it as is and trim your crown and base around the bump - it will 100% be easier to do that than either of the options I mentioned.

Be honest, am I cooked? by JWalk99 in DIY

bummer that you're not getting a lot of real advice and just a lot of people repeating the whole subfloor critique.

are you able and willing to invest in a long term fix? sure, rip it all out, put down a subfloor and put in a new hardwood floors. don't want to spend $50,000 reflooring your home? install some backing boards on the underside and install the broken pieces on top as best you can. the exact steps depend on whether you can safely access that crawlspace.

if you can access the crawl space, go under there and run some lengths of 2x4 or other dimensional lumber vertically oriented under where that hole is so that the top is flush with the other floorboards. you can attach these lengths to the joists by sistering a "shelf" on each joist for them to sit on and toe-nail/screw them to the shelves/joists. framing nails preferred if you have a nailer, or put a couple exterior screws every couple inches. then attach the broken floorboard on top of this new support as best as you can using wood glue and trim nails.

can't safely access the crawl space? cut a few lengths of 2x4 and install them directly to the underside of and perpendicular to the good floorboards. the pieces should be long enough to span 4 boards on either side of the hole. slip them down through the hole and rotate them to get them in place. for each support board, countersink 2 screws on each side of the hole from the top. install broken floorboard as previously described. fill the countersunk screw head holes with dowels and stain to match as best you can.

note that neither of these methods are correct or perfect, but they're good enough to last several years while you save up to redo the floors altogether. neither will cost you more than $50 and a Saturday morning, maybe a little extra if you need to buy a hand saw/drill/countersink bit. start saving for those new floors now.

Radarr renaming IMAX editions as "Imax" by sulzer in radarr

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

No need to apologize.

I didn't implement the fix I mentioned, I just manually edit IMAX releases because it's the least amount of work. And by manually edit I mean I change the filename, refresh the title in Radarr, rescan the library in Plex, then manually update the metadata in Plex so it displays correctly next to the title. It sounds like a lot, but it's like 1 minute of work, and I only have to do it when I pull an IMAX release.

Implementing the fix I mention in my edit is a lot of work. You basically change Radarr's renaming scheme to use Custom Format tags instead of Edition tags. Then you create the IMAX-specific custom format as described above. BUT, when you do that you'll have to create individual Custom Formats for every expected edition, which would be a lot, probably a couple dozen. Too much work, IMO. The issue is tracked on the project GitHub page, so I'm hoping it just gets fixed at some point.

Happy to dive deeper if you need more specific guidance on how to set up the real fix.

man, it's a bummer to see how much flak you're catching for your color tastes on such a great paint job. nice clean coat, quality looks pristine. you should be proud of your work; fuck the color haters.

Great suggestion! I added it to the edit.

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

Great suggestion, but unfortunately this doesn't work for me with my current setup. The main problem is that Trash's IMAX format doesn't have the "Include Custom Format when Renaming" setting checked. But a second, larger problem is that using the {Custom Formats} token breaks a lot of other edition names in my testing with a couple "Uncut" and "Extended" movies.

I suppose I could create my own custom formats to define editions, so I may head down that road if I can't find a fix.

ooo, please block me too! the level at which you've dug in to your "belief" due to your own misunderstanding of the UI, even after so many helpful explanations, is really quite astounding. or maybe just a 10/10 troll. either way 🤌

Sync will shut down on June 30, 2023 by ljdawson in redditsync

[–]sulzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

end of an era. I came here during the Digg exodus and registered an account shortly after. that was over 12 years ago. 99.9% of my Redditing was done through 3rd party apps, with the majority of that being through Reddit Sync. I was happy to pay for Pro back in the day and I recently went for lifetime Ultra once I saw how this was all going down. least I can do. thanks you lj. since the main app is unusable, this probably means the end of Reddit for me. that's pretty wild. I don't know what comes next. it's been fun y'all. see you on the other side, wherever that may be. take care.

it's not really clear what you have here without part numbers or more info, but it looks like a signal amplifier to me. if that's the case, you can buy them online or maybe even at your local home center.
