I didn’t really follow Duck Dynasty. What did he do?

I’ve gotten used to 4 because it was the manual car I had driven the longest time.

Yeah as far as I could tell there wasn’t any smart light (or unknown/untrusted device for that matter) authenticated to my router, so if they saw some random IOT device, they had some type of access. Maybe the smart light was interfering with the 2.4GHz band for some reason. Anyhow, I sold that router after a couple of days of not being able to resolve it with support, and I moved on to an openwrt router.

I never said none of my neighbors had smart lights. I said there was no smart light connected to my router as far as I could see into its interface/settings.

I’ve had a similar experience when I used to have an eero mesh router. My devices kept randomly disconnecting from wifi and their tech support was blaming a smart light somewhere in the vicinity that’s causing it (lived in an apartment at the time). I don’t own a smart light and there was no such device connected to my network.

My issues with S2 is the plot barely moved and we’re basically back to square one where S1 ended. Sure they needed to set up some stuff, but you don’t need an entire season just for that. S1’s pacing was better.

This can actually still be convenient if you need to be physically at work 5 days a week. No more commuting and waking up early in the morning except on Mondays. If you want to skip Monday traffic, take a quick drive on Sunday to your office so you meet the 24 hour criteria.

I noticed kpop idols put on fake moles as part of their look for performances.

Someone else already mentioned it, but virustotal can check if the url is malicious. It’s not 100% of course but more often than not it will catch a malicious url. It’s a quick and easy way to check on-the-fly.

Oh man this reminds me to make it again. We usually make kimchi or sundubu jjigae, but it might be nice to doenjang once in a while.

Wow, an anime character couldn’t even crack the top 10.

 

I have two SSIDs on my home wifi, one for the 2.4GHz band and one for the 5G band. I noticed that my phone is giving me a Privacy Warning ("This network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic"), but only when connected to the 5G network. I use Mullvad's DoH profile on my phone and my router also points to Mullvad as the DNS provider. As far as I can tell, both networks are configured the same, except for the 2.5GHz network having an extra 20/40 MHz Coexistence setting (that is enabled). And even then, I don't understand how my network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic, let alone only on one band. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

EDIT: Never mind, I rebooted my phone and it went away. We had an ISP outage and my phone just connected to my network after it was restored, so I guess there was some random bug.

I like Fox but I feel like he's not a good fit for the Spurs right now. He's in the win-now stage of his career and it doesn't align with the current Spurs timeline. Sure, Wemby kinda accelerates that, but the rest of the team needs to catch up first. It might also hinder Castle's development. Playstyle-wise, I think it can work, although Fox isn't that good of a shooter. What do you guys think?

So I have a Samsung TV that uses Tizen OS, which unlike an Android TV, is very limited with customization. I've been trying to figure out how to get the TV into my vpn and I discovered the Mango Router by GL.inet. It's basically a small travel router that allows you to use openvpn or wireguard to set up VPN. I figured this might be a good workaround to get my TV and other devices that don't support the mullvad client into my VPN. And if you're wondering why I don't just set up vpn on my primary router, I work from home and my company's systems trigger alerts when they detect logins coming from known VPN IPs, so I don't want to just pass all my traffic at home through my vpn. I'm also afraid of flashing my router and bricking it lol.

My question is, does anyone know if this use-case will work? I'll essentially set up mullvad on the Mango router (the docs say mullvad is supported), connect the Mango to my primary router, then connect any device that doesn't support mullvad to the Mango router. I'm aware of the potential degradation of speeds, but if I only use it for my tv, the Mango's 10/100Mbps ethernet speed might be enough if I hardwire everything.

Edit: I just saw in the documentation that the Shadow, the next model up from the Mango, has a maximum of 50Mbps for wireguard, which is I believe good enough for 4k streaming.

Thanks!

 

First time homeowner here so please forgive the newbie question. I'm in Texas so our houses aren't built for the cold. We're going through freezing temps at night right now, with temps getting up well above freezing during the day. I woke up this morning to my kitchen faucet not having water (at all) when turning it to the hot setting. It's the type of faucet that you just turn left (hot) and right (cold) and lift to open. The cold water side is fine. The two other faucets found in the two bathrooms have hot water without issues, but they have separate faucets for hot and cold. I've been religiously dripping all our faucets every night since last week. Is it possible something froze? And what I can do to start figuring out the problem and possibly fix myself?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Here's what it looks like under the sink. The upper left tube is what I believe is the hot water, the right for cold, and the bottom goes to the dishwasher.

Update: Water finally came out! I left the faucet open on hot, then ran hot water on all the sinks and showers in the bathrooms to get the water heater pumping. After around 10 minutes, water started to trickle and eventually went full blast. I'll make sure to drip the hot water as well and not just cold from here on out! Thanks to everyone who responded!

 

Some HEB products included.

 

This needs to be explained a bit, so here's my problem:

  • I use Focus for sleeping. I manually enable it when I go to bed and disable it when I wake up.
  • My Focus setting disables notifications for email, calendar, and some messaging apps.
  • My security camera app notifications are not disabled, obviously because I want to be alerted if something triggers it in the middle of the night.
  • However, there is a certain time in the morning between 7:30AM and 8AM where people walking on the sidewalk triggers alerts that wake me up. And no, I want to avoid not pointing my cameras away from that part of the sidewalk because it helps me catch people letting their pets pee and poop on my yard.
  • I usually wake up at 8AM and getting woken up 30 minutes earlier is annoying.
  • I am willing to accept the risk of not getting notifications from my cameras on my phone for 30 minutes before I wake up.

What is the most practical way to disable notifications from an app on a scheduled time duration while Focus is already in use? Schedule it in Health? Create a shortcut/automation?

 

I've been on an HSA+HDHP for a couple of years now and only realized recently the interest earned from investing HSA money is also tax free, so I want to start investing a part of my savings and see how it goes. I have 2 options, Betterment or Mutual Funds. I figured I'd try the latter to avoid fees, but I'm not sure which funds to choose. My HSA currently provides 30 fund options.

I see people mentioning Vanguard a lot so I spread out my initial investment into 25% chunks across 4 different Vanguard funds. How did I choose them? Well I literally just looked at the performance graphs and selected the ones that historically went up steadily without major dips. As a total noob, how can I improve my choices? Is there a simple way to decide without having to dive deep into the stock market?

Anyone know what's up with the recent beta updates on IOS? I think the last 4-5 updates had no test notes whatsoever.
