That's why I didn't have braces in the first place. I figured if the joints were tight enough, they'd hold. Wrong, because the wood has deformed. I really don't want to anchor it to the wall unless absolutely necessary.
Plan was to put braces in the lower square portion.
Right, so how do you account for that in the design? In my photo, I didn't account for it at all. The square cuts have changed and it's failing. I can resolve it with braces as suggested, but now I'm wondering if those braces will change and it'll go out of square again.
Thanks. The plan to fix it was to basically put shims into the joints as a temporary method to square it, and then add some additional braces.
I designed this assuming specifically that the square cut joints would be strong enough, which was obviously wrong. But it does seem like the joints have expanded, or the beams have shrunk. Or both. Because each joint was a tight fit when I built it.
Oil doesn't expand and steam like water, so no that won't happen, but hot oil leads to very nasty burns and can melt gloves onto your hands. Most bikes run the oil around 200 degrees. So no it isn't safe to change hot oil. Don't do that.
What they actually probably saved was needing to design a whole separate engine case for each bike in their lineup to match all their exhaust configurations.
The idea of having a little pipe protruding out is a different kind of bad design. Things that poke out from engine cases tend to snag or get punched in during a crash, turning what would be some scrapes on the block into a completely totaled engine.
Depends on your specific VPN, but look for a feature or setting called "split tunnel." It should create a separate non-vpn route for the local network.
Usually client-side setting, but not always if the tunnel is built on connection.
I couldn't get the lights into pairing mode out of the box. It appears that for hue bulbs, the only option is a hue hub, a button combo with a remote switch, or resetting via the app and Bluetooth. None of those worked. The last option I found is touchlink.
I switched from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT, which has touchlink built in, and that finally reset the bulb.
I tried a dozen times to get it to pair with ZHA, and it simply wouldn't appear. Works fine with Zigbee2MQTT though.
Blackadder claims that's the only tool verified to work on this specific model, so maybe that's the problem with ZHA.
I've more or less figured out how to get things working with MQTT, but it really feels more complicated than it should be to just control a few lights.
How are you getting your Hue bulbs into pairing mode? My new ConbeeII stick doesn't see them. I tried connecting to them with the Bluetooth app and then doing a factory reset, no luck.
My initial Conbee and two hue lights arrived today, and between the pain in the ass that I apparently need a hue hub or something to put the lights in pairing mode, plus this makes me think it's not going to solve any of my connectivity problems.
Just in time for my Wi-Fi devices to start dropping again for no reason.
I think this is where I'm getting frustrated. (On top of my frustration that like 4 lights just decided to stop connecting to my Unifi for absolutely no reason again.)
It's not clear if I can just plug into the HA Zigbee or if I need MQTT or if they both have their uses or when/why, etc.
Not just early YouTube, it feels like early 2000s Internet in general.
The biggest difference is that by around the late 90s when self hosting and learning HTML became accessible to normies, there was already a shitload of content online. Lemmy kind of has that backward, which is part of the slower growth pattern.
I could be wrong, but isn't the entire debian stable tree maintained for years via open source contributions? Sure the redhat downstreams might be on their own, but there's plenty of non-commercial distros that keep up to date.
I'd imagine tar is included with the install media.
