How to spend less money on Subscriptions, Games and Hardware (Video, 15 min.) in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
Charging infrastructure rant in c/electricvehicles@slrpnk.net
[โ€“] kimchi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

We just finished a 8-charge trip. I was able to use credit card 4x, but needed an app at 4. Chargepoint's app worked at those, even though 3 were other networks.

So I think credit card + chargepoint app may now do pretty well.

point-of-sale $4k credit still working? (lemmy.world)
 

I was wondering if the $4K(USA) used EV tax credit was still getting applied at USA auto dealers. It sounds like the credit still applies until September 30th, but I haven't heard if the IRS/dealer website and database are still working.

enterprise wifi auth and 47-day TLS certs (lemmy.world)

Has anybody heard if the upcoming 47-day maximum on TLS cert lifetime will apply to Enterprise wifi auth using private PKI (especally on IOS and Android)?

We have a campus CA that signs the TLS cert used by RADIUS when students connect to wifi using personal devices. Freshman need to accept the cert once (hopefully after checking the fingerprint), then usually one more time before graduation. Every 47 days would be difficult.

Private Space vs separate User (lemmy.world)
 

I have banking apps in a separate User profile. I was wondering if this was preferable (or worse) than putting those apps in Private Space.

Anybody have a "Separate User vs Private Space" comparison?

USB-C charging for electric bikes has arrived with the new Ampler Nova | BikeRadar in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

Bosch sells its 2A charger (~80w) for $93, and it's still 3x6x8 inches and weighs a pound. If I could use my MacBook Pro 96w brick, I wouldn't have to haul the Bosch charger to work.

I also have a Serial1, and there were no available chargers for a few years.

There is also fire risk when bodegas try to charge many bikes. If the bikes had the BMS and DC-DC on-board, and just used USB-C to get the electrons, we may see fewer fires.

boxcli from headless server? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to use the box.com cli from a linux server without X installed. However, during "$ box login -n me@mydomain", boxcli tries to popup a web page with the message Opening browser for OAuth authentication. Please click Grant access to Box to continue.

I've tried exporting BROWSER=lynx , and have tested that "xdg-open http://eff.org/" works; but I am not seeing lynx open while running "box login". Do I need a 2nd terminal window, and then set DISPLAY so the "popup" browser opens lynx there?

Wondering if anyone has managed to setup box.com CLI on a headless, X-less server.

setting needle bar height (lemmy.world)
 

I'm blowing the cobwebs out of my mom's 1986 Ward's (Happy Sewing Co) machine. I have been watching videos of setting timing:

adjust timing until the hook passes through the scarf...

...and how to set the needle bar:

adjust needle bar height until the hook passes through the scarf...

(I'm paraphrasing)

It sounds like you could take a perfect machine, then lower the needle bar 1mm, then compensate by delaying the hook 30 degrees, and you'd have the hook passing through the scarf at the correct spot... yet it would be all wrong.

Is there a way to set needle-bar height independent of the hook timing?

Like, obviously the needle needs to rise a few millimeters to make the slack thread form into a loop behind the scarf, ready to be caught by the hook. Is that amount of rise kinda-sorta consistent across machines from a given era?
