Not OP, and I don’t particularly hate PHP but I certainly understand why everyone else does. It had a ton of horrible issues that didn’t get fixed until 8. Just really awful stuff like a23+n7=30 , inconsistent syntax, It’s just had a lot of holes over the years. Post perl, It had the next greatest number of plugins and was reasonably rapid so it took off with the inexperienced crowd, But we ended up with a lot of code written by a lot of inexperienced people and a lot of best practices were eschewed. Most of the big software names that run PHP have had a constant stream of really bad vulnerabilities, more so than a lot of other languages. (WordPress, PHPBB, vbulletin, a million horribly written WordPress plugins)

Personally, in a pinch I’ll still do something in PHP. It’s so incredibly rapid and gives you marginally decent debug right out of the gate with nothing installed.

Happy cake day.

My HOA would not approve of awnings.

We do have the latest version of low-E Windows. They’re shockingly effective.

I really want to get motorized blinds, and motorized forced air vents, as it sits now, we more or less just leave all the windows covered. Given it’s not as effective from the inside, But even reducing the direct IR mission makes a big difference.

Rofl, might as well be. Was just hope after I replace it It doesn’t swell again just like dell.

Thank you so much taking the time to write all that, its truly useful information… I would have completely overlooked the no rinse stuff for fear it was a sales gimmick.

I think I’ll probably hose wash down every season, foam it If the water coming off has anything in it and save the teardown for 5-year or special event.

There’s not really much here in the way of sand or dust. It’s mounted off the ground. The hose should be able to get smoke particulate and pollen off.

Thanks again.

Looking at the power draw from 8am to 1pm, it did that itself every 5 minutes.

replaced the cap, it’s chill now.

It was! Came right back!

Entirely fair, I generally can’t stand him, hence just reading his caption data :)

He hit the mark on a few things but his hot takes were pretty hot.

At 98.6 it would be the same temperature in my anus as it is in my air.

That’s good to hear, thanks for that. Yes it’s a dual cap. I’ll have to dig out my LC meter and add that to my list.

It was a new build, my old plays I didn’t stay on top of things and ended up paying for it. I decided to do a better job here.

My very first maintenance I went down to look at what I needed to do. It’s a trane unit, so the evaporator coil and the condensate pan come out on a slide which is pretty fancy. The condensate line, combustion and exhaust air are all PVC and they glued it all so you couldn’t get the tray out. (The air lines don’t even go into the box they just ran it past the front for spite I think)

Hope you don’t mind if I ask you two questions, not holding you accountable or anything.

What are you guys using for condenser coil cleaner? I just got some off-the-shelf home Depot stuff but it looks sus. I pulled the case and separated the coils out at the two-year mark and followed the instructions on the cleaner. I didn’t see any physical dirt anywhere and there’s no leaves or debris. Without physical dust dirt or debris do you think just hosing it down from the outside on PM is fine?

Yeah, it’s still in use. It’s still slow. I think the real take away is that if you’re going to do things that are going to get you in true State trouble tor is not a reasonable solution.

If you’re not doing something to draw the ire of a government agency, It’s reasonably safe. Other than they fact that you are passing tor data, no one in your house or your ISP or Google has any idea what you’re actually doing.

I think one of the big problems is that there’s not so many tor nodes that a well-funded agency couldn’t stand up enough nodes to catch your entire conversation.

I do but unfortunately the announcer just keeps talking right up to the post.

Just a couple grams of DMF in there no big deal it’ll put some hair on your chest

It probably just swelled when it got hot now that it’s cooled down it’s probably in a little bit of a vacuum state.

Putting a video file somewhere and letting 10,000 people watch it at the same time is no small feat.

You could probably get away with doing it on peer tube but it has no facilities to lock people out or make them pay.

Even if you don’t use patreon for payments payments aren’t free.

I just use down sub to pull the transcript from his video It’s only 60% as annoying.

He has the normal privacy versus cost worries which are reasonably valid. Then he rambles on, plugs a product that he’s shilling that’s unrelated to the subject matter, says he’s replacing Google search with a local LLM, does some hot takes on alternatives, does some reasonable takes on some alternatives.

To be honest, this is probably the least helpful de-googling video I’ve seen, other than the fact that he’s a major influencer and is telling everyone they should be doing it.

keep watch on how often it runs and how long it stays running for a couple weeks. Also if you still have a analog bimetallic thermostat those can

It’s on an ecobee which appears to be behaving, pulling data from homeassistant on emporia power, it seems to be pretty chill.

she’s 1.5 ton pulling 1300 watts while running which actually seems low to me.

3 year old unit :(

After replacing the capacitor I set the thermostat to zero Kelvin

Once you pop you can’t stop start

And to be completely honest, if you call an HVAC repair company, they’re likely to do a whole PM cycle on it. Flush the condensate line and pan, clean the coils and the heat exchanger, replace the contactor if you have one, take the temperature differential to make sure the unit is operating reasonably well, replace the blower belt it’s not direct drive. I PM the unit myself every spring and fall. I probably should have had eyes on that cap though.
