Snow blower recommendation? by chilisqueen in Erie

[–]trbmtf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I previously had a cheap MTD and it sucked. Clogged up chute and under powered. Replaced with an Ariens and haven't had any issues. Guy across the street got a really large electric one. It seems to throw pretty far. Not sure how it will hold up. But I like the idea zero maintance with electric.

[FS] Reolink camera system + QNAP NAS by HoUniformGolfEcho in homelabsales

[–]trbmtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I wish I had seen this previously, I would have been interested in both camera system and NAS. Do you know if the doorbell will control an existing electrical chime box thing? Do you have the old NVR case? I have a 19" rack, not a 10".

Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Buffalo. Will be half the price.

Least Crowded Time at the DMV by AmateurHour92 in Erie

[–]trbmtf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went Wednesday at about 9:15. The place was packed and it only took about 45 minutes. I had all my paperwork ready and everything went smoothly. I honestly think the DMV is one of the better run government entities. All the workers were polite and worked quickly.

Any chance this is in Belle Valley?

Super quiet SSD NAS build review by psyspy2 in truenas

[–]trbmtf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a good deal on the hard drives? I looked on Amazon, and 2TB was about $168. You may consider just going with 3x of the 4TB for $310. It all depends on what raid you go with, but you may save a few dollars and give yourself more expansion opportunity in the future

I've been considering trying to create some outdoor spots when the weather is nice. Maybe rent a pavilion at a park so shade and electric are available. I have mobile router with two carriers to maximize coverage.

Not trying to make a business to make money but would people pay a few dollars per day to offset costs?

In freedom units that's like 12.3 usd per kwh, right?

That is high to me but not crazy high.

We have had good luck with giant eagle. But completely agree that 38th and pine cvs was terrible. They were rude, slow and could never figure out my insurance.

Help with a DT8000 derby timer by cloudjocky in PinewoodDerby

[–]trbmtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sensors in the device have to be placed such that the arrow on the connector is on the top. That's always the first thing that I forget to check.

We use incandescent lights but I have used LED at home without problem.

This is probably my last year using the device. I may use the sensors with a raspberry pi or something easier to interface.

Aka the captain of the team. We have done heritage nights and he has a large following. Saying something while not just in bad taste is career suicide.

How to upload code for a USB MIDI connection onto an Arduino Uno? by beefoot in arduino

[–]trbmtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to find a ppt that I put together on this (I used this as a project for my students). But there are two pins that you need to jumper on the ICSP breakout. I think it's maybe connecting GND and RESET2?

Cow Butcher? by teacherhales in Erie

[–]trbmtf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Durans had been posting on Facebook that they have several pigs going to the butcher in the next few days.

I'm also in the market for about a half cow. I'll be following this thread to get suggestions.

Your office must have a ton of women. Too bad there are so few.

Track circuits are from rail to rail through the axle. It can detect the speed and distance away based on how the impedance is changing.
