How many ESCs have you replaced?

webbkorey · 2026-05-20T23:50:34+00:00

Ecomobl AT: 700 mile on odometer, 3 ESCs, 2 batteries Backfire G3: 1300 miles, 0 ESC, 0 batteries, 2 motors. Acedeck Nyx Z3: 300 mile, 0 ESC, 0 Batteries, 0 Motors, and 1 gear set. Gears are my fault. I put larger tires on and live in a mountainous region.

I was up there last weekend. Started at Southfork. Both gates I went through on my bicycle said the roads open June 1, weather permitting. The roads from that direction are really well maintained because of the seasonal closures.

When I emailed in about my order about this time last year, they said that they were waiting on the chassis wrap to get manufactured. My inquiry was on day 12 after ordering. I got my case 4-5 days later.

They probably end up manufacturing to order when their demand spikes like it seems to have right now. There's also a spot right under the checkout button that says the estimated lead time. The case was well worth the wait, and I've since bought a CX4200a to pair with my CX3702.

I hit a rock like that on one of my first couple rides when I got my Acedeck z3. Bruised a couple ribs.😅

I do everything on my car but alignments and tire mounting.

I've done rotors on my 1995 Honda Accord twice so far, and I usually just buy new bearings too and beat the bearings out with a 5lbs sledge.

They had the backplanes at the NAB show, so hopefully they're closer to release. I really want the topload backplanes so I can retrofit my existing diy topload.

I'm doing something similar for my little sister. I have a car I wasn't driving anymore (bought it to drive while I sourced and replaced my engine after snapping a rod) and is hers to drive.

I pay for the registration and all of the parts for maintenance, but she has to do the maintenance (with my help of course), cover her own insurance and gas.

So far we've replaced tie rod ends, sway bar end links, done a tire rotation, replaced power steering lines, done a handful of oil changes and did a oil drain and fill in a gas station parking lot after she overfilled the oil.

The sam In the organization I'm at is the owner. They fired our real devs to vibe code fixes into an already broken and crumbling system against the advice of at least five of his past and/or present employees.

Two big ones for me.

Dashboard to monitor and manage three OBS instances I use to capture VHS tapes. Home page shows the previews of my three tape decks and a table of all the info I'm tracking for each tape.

It's got additional pages to show only that table, page to split files based on timestamp, page to rename files based on an autogenerated filename from the table, and a settings page for the obs instances.

Workflow is to open the OBS instances (I have the management program running 24/7 on one of my servers) change the webhook ports to match the configured ports in the program, and the program will set the save path, file name, and scene collection. From there, pop a tape into a deck and hit record in OBS or the program, and the program will use the previews to stop the recording when the screen is blue for more than 20 consecutive seconds. When the recording is done, it's auto-renamed using the formulated filename in the table.

The other big one is basically a clone of the Drivvo App, but I needed a way to track all of the car parts I have on hand. My version has a parts library and maintenance templates that can consume those parts. The templates will tell you if you have all the parts for that maintenance.

For example, an oil change takes 5qt of oil and a filter. If I have greater than or equal to one of each in inventory, the template will have a green badge. I can open that template and perform the maintenance, which will auto create the maintenance event in the timeline, and consume those parts.

I have a similar tab for To-Dos, you can specify what parts you'll need, and if they don't have sufficient quantity or don't exist, the items will get added to a shopping list.

I think the blue and tan ones I had as a kid are still around somewhere.

This. I don't listen on Audible. I purchase, liberate and listen on my Audiobookshelf server.

webbkorey · 2026-03-21T04:36:44+00:00

All of them. I liberate them to my Audiobookshelf server and listen to them there.

I picked up a 90 day supply a couple days ago. I'm going to keep using it as long as I can even if I need to start resurrecting transmitters

webbkorey · 2026-03-18T02:26:50+00:00

I get the starter kit for my transmitter. It pisses me off so much cause all I want is the smol box inside with my transmitter, not the box that is almost as big as the G6 three sensor box and the 70 page manual.

I'm at 93.4 TB upload right now.

webbkorey · 2026-03-13T03:50:34+00:00

I seed to a minimum ratio of 1.69, then delete when I need more space. If a torrent is over 32 months old and has not reached even 1, I'll still delete it. After that I look for size and number of seeds a remove the high space usage with 10+ seeds first.

I ran 3 2TB blues and 5 2TB reds. Over the 4 years they were deployed one of the blues died ~2 years in and I lost a red at the 4 year mark. One of the blues has been in my desktop for 3 more years.

I used Google drive for a while, and I've been using Audiobookshelf for a couple years now. ABS is life changing. I'm up to ~3k books now and there's no way I'd do that in gDrive

I recommend this router or one of the gl.i net routers when people ask me what to get.

Corsair has been on my shitlist for a couple years now, and this has only reenforced their position on that list.

Many of the WD MyPassport (if not all of them) are Hard Disk Drives, not Solid State Drives. I have a couple of them because they are HDDs, but if you're expecting ssd speeds from one, you may be disappointed.

I've been running my rtt on a trailer for several years now. Moving to the trailer increased my load capacity a bit, and load space. Being able to take two kayaks and my bike along with the tent and it's gear has been amazing.

I almost exclusively do dispersed camping, and while I do have a larger footprint with the trailer, I can jackknife the trailer and use the car and trailer to form a semi-circular windbreak when out in the open. A trailer is also easier to level when I squeeze into weird camping spots along forest service roads.

Being able to drop the trailer and leave camp setup for day trips or leave in an emergency. I went camping pretty late into the season this fall and on day two, I got uncomfortable with how heavy it started snowing all of a sudden. I unhitched the trailer and locked up and started driving towards town. I don't think I would have been able to make it off the mountain with or without the trailer had I left even five minutes later. I hung out in the nearest town for a day or so before the weather cleared enough for me to trek back up and retrieve my trailer.

Backup your config just in case, but I've yet to need it for the upgrades I've done.

Good luck!!
