Thank you all for the advice and education on what to do. I really appreciate it!!

I’m not an electrician, but is it common to not have ground/neutral on a switch? When I disconnected it only those two wires were actually connected to the switch.

It’s a 3 gang box.

Hi all. I have a bathroom fan on a simple switch but wanted to upgrade it to a time. When I pulled the switch out of the wall I found one ground wire, and a singe wire with some of the sheathing removed to loop around the other terminal.

Can I cut the looped wire and connect it to the load / line on the timer? Then I connect the ground to the uncapped ground/neutral on the switch?

Edit: the advice worked.

I put the unlooped black wire with one of the black wires on the timer. I cut the black loop and tied the two wires to another black wire on the timer. I put another grounding wire on the metal box and attached it to ground. Likewise, I pigtailed the neutral bundle and connected to neutral.

It took a few tries to get the box to close correctly since the timer is so big, but it worked out! Thanks again all.

How did you do it? Did you run a live distro on the new laptop to receive and overwrite the SSD ?

He addresses it in another video, but there isn’t a single rights holder. There are 3 that each own different parts of the game. He tried contacting them but none responded.

Great! I just tiled a part of my basement (first time doing tiles) because we replace the hot water tank with a tankless.

Since it mounts on the wall I had to remove the old cracked tiles under the tank and put in new ones. It was pretty straightforward but I found wiping the grout to be really messy and not as easy as it seemed in the videos. Using the tile saw as also daunting but I got it done.

I’ve found the writing in the newer games to lack personality in comparison to the old ones (which I find to be very sterile).

I really hope they don’t change it too much, and preserve the personality of the original characters.

Yes as ours are around schools.

Based on the fine rates from GTA - each camera needs to catch 6 people a day to break even (about $120 a ticket).

At first it’ll be a great source of revenue but people will learn and slow down - then the ROI will be questionable…

I’m finding that trope is even worse with daybreak 1 (I just got to the intermission).

A lot of the characters dote on the silly protagonist too much. I miss the strong and driven heroes from sky and crossbell.

I can’t keep up, lol! Just started daybreak 1. With daybreak 2, sky 1, and now daybreak 3 I’m going to be busy this year.

Any x86 machine will do.

If u have an old desktop with some drives sleds in it that’s more than enough.

I’m very excited for Yuka Replaylee. I never played the original but I’m thinking the remake is a day 1 buy.

I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.

 

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up authentik and had the thought of setting up an intranet email for it.

The idea is that I could set up a very simple email server and client that would only work on my home network to manage email notifications, passwords, etc from all my self hosted applications (proxmox, gitea, etc). It wouldn’t need to communicate with the outside world, only users of my intranet.

Have you done something like this? Any particular tools or advice?

I know about other options like the proton SMTP bridge but this seemed more fun!
