My fiber install last year came with a "free" eero router, I sent it back.
My fiber install this year came with one, this time I refused to let them install it.

Isn't there something about your eyes focusing further away stereoscopically, but individually they are focusing closer? Like a single lense doing a macro focus on an up close image, rather than two cameras adjusting their angle to make their images line up for an object far away.
There's a word for this but I can't think of it right now.
Anywho, I thought focusing up close was still bad for your eyes in the long term?
Ours does the same, and very much appreciates the belly rubs. No bite.
I can't find a movie by that name? There's a TV show though
This is solid. I wonder if you could rig up a ddns somehow to keep it seamless?
I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.
My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷♂️
I have FB for marketplace a couple times a year, I don't install the app unless I'm buying something.
I watch a LOT of educational YouTube, and some tech news on there, using GrayJay.
Otherwise, this is it.
Used to have insta years ago.
I guess I technically have Marco Polo, but it's literally my immediate family only 🤷♂️ and that's more chat app than social media.
Edit: oh and discord for the couple of friends who use it. Plus I'm on a couple of servers for my hobbies, very specific, I hardly look at them unless I'm active in a given hobby at that moment.
I'm in this same boat. Right now jellyfin just isn't close enough.
I was at a buddies house last week, he uses jellyfin. We were having weird decoding issues, pink/purple flashes that looked like HDMI desync.
Resetting/reseating etc etc anything on the TV did nothing. Had to restart his server then it was magically fine 🤔
I'm fine dealing with that kind of stuff occasionally, but my family is not capable.
"honkshoo mimimimi"
I heard this in my head perfectly, nicely done
No worries, glad I could help.
I understand the frustration, I've had people do the same thing to me, make assumptions about what I was doing, putting words in my mouth and impugning my motives.
Text is hard to convey proper emotion, and even harder when you've got a bunch of people only typing half of their thought 🤷♂️
As for the design change, I honestly don't know. It's not actually my area of expertise, I just know enough to know what not to do.
I do know that the highest risk is in the connections themselves. A pair of insulated wires are unlikely to ever be an issue on their own, but where you connect the wires to the wiring of the house is the real issue.
Connections can loosen over time, through temp cycling or whatever reasons. And when they loosen, resistance goes up, and heat is generated.
So if it were my project, I'd probably try to find a small round electrical box that fits inside the decorative one. Either metal or the proper plastic. And then make those connections inside that box, and call it good enough.
Maybe make sure the edges of the pipe are smooth where the wires enter them, too, so the insulation doesn't get shaved off when you're moving it around.
Otherwise I really do like the project! Looks great! I hope you come up with a solution you're comfortable with 👍
Listen man, you do what you want. I've done some sketchy stuff myself.
Most people don't care that it's illegal, heck most people on here are pirates anyway.
People care about you, and they want you to understand the danger of what you're doing.
Most of them aren't judging you, I'm certainly not.
Will using PLA for a light enclosure definitely cause a fire? Probably not. The odds are very low. In fact the odds are very low that normal wiring in a normal enclosure will overheat. You'll likely never see it.
The problem is the what if. The chance. IF the wiring shorts out, overheats, whatever. A normal enclosure might contain it completely. Or at worst it will resist catching on fire, and fill your house with smoke first, giving you time to realize what's happening and save your life.
PLA will do neither of those things. It will in fact do the opposite. So in the admittedly rare chance that your wiring falls, and gets hot, PLA will actually readily ignite. And then, worse, it WILL drip flaming plastic onto the floor, causing it to spread immediately and without warning.
Your time to notice a fire and save yourself goes from minutes to seconds. It's potentially the difference from waking up to a smoke alarm and a smokey house, to waking up to a smoke alarm and a wall of fire blocking your only exit.
I'm not trying to be extreme, it's just the facts. That's why people say codes are written in blood. The wrong plastics have been used before, and people have died, so now in many lands it's a law.
No one is making you follow the law. They just want you to be informed, so that if you choose to continue, you do so without ignorance to the risks.
I wish you well.
Edit:
Now, if you changed the configuration of the lamp, if you put all the AC wiring and DC conversion circuits in a metal enclosure, and then ran low voltage wiring to low voltage bulbs, that would be still unwise, but significantly safer.
The concern is that AC circuits, while only using enough power to run a lamp in this scenario, have access to more than enough power to run a space heater. If your AC wiring becomes a space heater in your ceiling, nothing will stop it, and PLA will make it worse 🤷♂️
I was gonna complain about my $4k bill for a heart checkup, but uh.. you win.
Excellent read, highly recommend.
The sequel was a bit meh, but required reading I'd say

Thanks!
Define beefy? Like 8 to 12gb vram? Or will an old 970 do the trick?
I have not been using community scripts, and I feel an amount of silly. Thanks!
Any suggestions for someone tech savvy enough to run a proxmox server for a handful of services, to get started with home assistant?
Can you replicate something like a Google home with voice commands?
I may or may not be getting a new house soon. I'm good with electrical to replace switches with wireless ones. But what do you get? Where do you start and where do you end? What about the WAF?
I saw LTT did smart switches in his house and it was a mess of incompatibilities.
Any good resources? I don't even know what I don't know haha
Oh I'm definitely in the slow category, according to the cars behind me.
Don't get me wrong, I do the speed limit, and heck still sometimes the appropriate "5 over" if there's cars behind me.
But that's not enough for most people, they race around me anyway.
But more than just not speeding up when I see the red light, I watch the light from farther away. It's very flat here, and if you pay attention you can see the light turning from 10 or 20 seconds away, and adjust appropriately. You can even time the light to know it'll turn red before you get there.
I'm not counting seconds or anything, it's more of a vibe check. "That light has been green a looong time, it's definitely turning red before I get there."
So depending on who's behind me and ahead of me and how far away I am, I'll either start coasting down to maybe 5 or 10 under as I approach, that way I can use my brakes even less.
I get pretty good at it with the lights on my way to work. But some lights are un-timable. Their timing is almost purposely designed to waste gas.
And one stretch of lights changes depending on time of day to create a unidirectional flow of traffic. You'll hit every green going south at 3pm, but every red going north. Stuff like that.
Using brakes is wasted gas, lost efficiency. I get a whole 5 or 6 more mpg driving my wife's car, than when she drives it. Maybe more. Every time I drive it I watch the average tick up. For her it hovers around 25/26. I've seen over 31 in the same car.
Again I'm not the guy who painfully slowly accelerates, angering everyone. I know how to stand on the pedal when I need to. I just pay attention, and accelerate and brake maybe a little more smoothly.
Not for all clients, like Roku for example.
Yes the solution is different hardware, like a Google TV, older firestick, raspAP, or flash openwrt on a router. But that's no longer plug and play and may have other caveats. Besides costing money.
No shade, it's just not QUITE that simple every time.
