The Gumball Bandit of Buffalo Blizzard December 2022

Just didn't want to forget the Buffalo Blizzard 2022 Gumball Bandit. I made so many iterations of this.

This one was the victorian version in the blizzard of 1888

Here was the original

The way people talk about it you would think this would have been the city response.

Building a custom copper Kingsong s18 stand in Buffalo

Now that I euc in the snow all the time I needed a nice tall stand for drippy tire.

I decided to go with copper because it's strong and relatively easy to shape.

I have a plastic 3d printed one near my desk at work UT wanted something nicer for the house.

Started with 10 ft copper pipe.

Cut 2, 6in and 6, 8 Inc lengths of pipe with a hand pipe cutter.

Sanded them down with sand paper and a wire brush.

Then using flux, mapp gas and solder, joined the elbows.

It needs to be 6 inches wide and around 8 inches tall. Having 8 inch long rains also makes it easy to set the unicycle on it without having to get it just right.

After I sanded it down to look nice and remove and pipe branding.

Kingsong s18 lift sensor repair

I just recently replaced the control board on my s18 after I tripped over the powercord and sadly cracked the power socket.

Sadly, after the surgery was complete, the lift sensor on the Kingsong s18 did not work when I would lift the handle to carry it while still on :( Instead, the wheel spins out and was really inconvenient to have to turn on and off to carry it somewhwre.

It was hard to find answers but Jason from ewheels.com had a tip. Apparently, the lift sensr works by magnetic field detection and the if the magnet on the motherboard is not directed toward the trolley handle where the corresponding magnet sits, then it can't detect its up.

So I reopened up the EUC and moved the magnet sensor toward the handle a bit. I tried it a few times till it was perfect then screwed everything back in. Works like a charm now everytime. Happy to help anyone who needs it.

Angelo in Masumi Lighting

Went to Rochester for the dentist on Friday before picking up (e:hodown) from the airport. Watched murder documentaries on Field st and ate some delicious Pho at Sea.

Centos Stream

I was sad to hear about the CentOS changes when they were first posted on the centos blog but I am going to trying to not freak and think it might be a positive move. I mean it seems in the last few years I have more often been annoyed at how behind CentOS was from the current kernel. Maybe this will make it better. This article made me feel at least a little bit better.

The thing that annoyed me the most was that I had just moved servers from CENTOS 6 to 8 and I should have maybe just gone to 7. I guess only time will tell.

Fingers crossed. Server #1 - done!

Pihole

Now that I have the my KVM farm setup again for estrip I spun on a pihole on centos 8 instance in order to move DHCP and DNS from our router to something we have more control over. Its also nice that it blocks so much stuff.

They even have a docker based installer.

While I already have adblockers on my computer, its devices like our TV that I don't trust.

Its kind of crazy that 16.9% of the traffic in our house where we have ad blockers going is still getting through and now being blocked.
