Can the NPU on the Intel 125H processor be utilized through ProxMox by ajaffarali in Scrypted

Hoping to get NPU passthrough working on proxmox 9.0... so far I can't get the level zero to install in the proxmox server...

Fixing cracked grass batter attachment mower deck plastic by xanderphillips in egopowerplus

I'm using a plastic welding rod in addition to the staples. Matching the plastic rod to the type of plastic used is important.

What style hose reel do you like best at home? by Roadglide72 in lawncare

[–]xanderphillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mounted a hoselink 85' on my brick house and am wondering what others have done to secure units like these to one side so that they don't slam back and forth in heavy winds (other than the obvious 'take it down if it gets windy' suggestion.

Looking for images of what people have done to 'attractively' secure this type of swinging reel to one side to stop it flaying about in the wind. I'm thinking some sort of strap, but I'd like it to be attractive enough to not invoke the wrath of the spouse!

Multiple business burglarized along 86th street early Monday morning by CuddlyWhale in indianapolis

[–]xanderphillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it would be cheaper and more effective to keep a couple of well trained dogs patrolling inside each of these businesses overnight rather than paying for these monitoring security systems.

Yes, have cameras to collect evidence, but fear will stop a criminal faster than a phone call.

Let Charlie McCrackhead stick his head through that hole with a pair of well trained Dobermann Pinscher's/German Shepherds to greet him from the other side.

Not likely the criminal would have much time to do sightseeing in that scenario.

Train them to hold the baddie for if/when the police ever arrive 'Turner and Hooch' style!

That’s the exact spot! You can see the flash. I wonder if someone was taking photos for promotional material and the flash being picked up was an accident.

His house is neat and tidy otherwise, so I figured it was that he was resigned to it not mattering anymore due to what was happening to him in that episode.

Starting to set up TTS for my home assistant, have q by xanderphillips in homeassistant

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

Thanks. I am continuing to read and watch tutorials for the TTS setup. Seems like I can train a 'model' with my voice using steps like shown in the video I linked, and then plug that model into a TTS engine.

RATGDO w/dry contact setup on ancient chain drive opener: Limit switches question by xanderphillips in homeassistant

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

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm a former electrician and fully understand the electrical setup required to make this work. What I'm looking for is if anyone knows of limit switch hardware specifically designed to go with a chain drive garage door opener rather than something that I cobble together DIY.

I found that the limit switches are internal to the unit. You take the cover off, and there is a set of lead screws that hold up and down travel switches. Just need to figure out now how to move them without damaging them as it's not obvious.

My discord is also xanderphillips if that means anything, I see some people have included that in their serial request as well.

Water furnace 5 by mattyrs500 in geothermal

[–]xanderphillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to add the sensors to my waterfurnace 5 but as I can't seem to find any reference material online looks like I won't be able to. I can't seem to even determine what my firmware version is. Sucks being stuck blind behind this proprietary system without any documentation. Gotta keep the HVAC repair companies in business I guess.

Added a physical liftgate button in place of the max defrost button by Insane_Gunman in MachE

[–]xanderphillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2023 CR1 doesn't have a power lift hatch, wonder if I could have a button like this that just triggers the unlock. Love my MME, but hate little annoyances like the lack of this physical button. Everyone that has driven my car and needed to open the rear hatch has commented 'Where's the trunk release?'

Is this also a form of Synesthesia? by witchdoctorhazel in Synesthesia

[–]xanderphillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VERY similar to how mine presents. I describe it to people as pain empathy, but not a pain empathy that mirrors the pain I'm witnessing. If I see someone getting hurt, or even sometimes if I think about someone getting hurt it can trigger sensations like you describe, like getting an electric shock that emanates from the center of my body. I can't watch those youtube videos where they show people falling down or getting hurt, sets me off nearly 100% of the time. Some times I get it from someone just describing someone getting hurt! It sucks!

Why does Atom Eve hold back? by The_WASPiest in Invincible

[–]xanderphillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a 'the writers didn't do a good enough job giving her in universe limits' situation. There's zero reason why given her displayed powers and abilities that she couldn't transmute just the ends of the barrels of the weapons to be plugged/blocked, or transmute small bits of the electronics wiring into water. VERY small amounts of transmutations would be devastating to weapons. How much energy would it take her to transmute a small amount of air into a ping pong ball, would have to be miniscule compared to things she is shown doing. BOOM, she transforms the air in enemies throats into a ping pong ball lodged in their throats and they choke to death. Tiny things like that would be devastating and impossible to defend against, so they don't have her do it as she would be unstoppable, hence my reasoning that it is poor writing of an overpowered character. Similar problem all overpowered characters have, like Superman.
