Make small changes. Once you have de-cluttered your room and have just the things you are going to keep, here are some things that can be changed easily and on a budget (even over time if necessary) to give yourself a new look.

You are 100% right about the filter thing.
A guy I know owns a black car service with a fleet of E-Class Mercedes. He hired a couple of minimum wage fucksticks to maintain his fleet.

As it turns out one by one his cars started suffering oil starvation. It took him a while to find out the "tech" was using an oil suction pump to lift oil out of the dipstick and never bothered to actually drain the pan or change filters because that would have required removing the undertray, therefore too much work.

These same people work at oil change places.
They are lazy.
Sometimes they won't even bother to replace the copper washers on the drain plug or even take out the old O ring for the filter, which causes the filter to not seal properly.

Recently moved a bookcase and noticed a large area (~1' x 2') of black mold underneath on the top of the carpet. The surface isn't damp now so it must have been a water leak that came and went. How can I cheaply and effectively remove both the mold and the stain, without replacing the carpet or ripping it out? Are there any good mold stain removal products I can make or buy at the store? Thanks.

You should never try to build something by yourself if you don't have the right knowledge and experience in this domain. Ten years ago I was building my house. I always wanted to save some money. When my builders said that they need a scaffold tower, I said that I can do it by myself. I built it with my friend and it was very fragile. One of my workers felt down and I felt very bad. After that, I hired a professional scaffold tower. This is like a lesson of life. Never try to do something if you don't know how to do it, and never try to save money on people's lives.

I have an old router and I planned to use it as a WLAN for my CCTV set up

I don't want to connect my NVR to the internet as I don't want Chinese people spying on me.

Plugged in the router to NVR and connect to that router. But I can't seem to connect as the router wants internet.

Is what I'm doing retarded as I can't find any help online for a wlan using an old router

I even tired reolink advice and I think they're deliberately making fun of people with these explanations...

What is the router model?

You should be able to connect devices to a router to create an "offline" network (when my internet goes out everything still works). People saying use a switch but switches normally don't hand out IP addresses.

OP are you just trying to have this network exist for a computer to be hooked up to or connect at random?

You do know that if you don't open the ports for the CCTV you can't get to them from outside your network?

>> No.1805745

>>1805287
>>1805409
this makes sense, and I might tackle the ddwrt, what you said sound doable especially if I find it on youtube.

Do I really need a switch at all. What I was trying to do was have all on one network. I wanted to use the Reolink app to log into the NVR not type individual IPs to cameras.

So what >>1805599 says is what I imagined
>OP are you just trying to have this network exist for a computer to be hooked up to or connect at random?

I want to be able to login with my camera or phone (when connected the same wifi router the nvr is plugged into) using the reolink software. It asks for the UID of the NVR to access it.
But when I have no internet connection it doesn't work - I have to have internet connection.
When I plug in the internet, it works and I am connected to the NR. I can even pull out the plug and it conintues working for a time, then it disconnects/cant login in to the NVR anymore.

I thought this is beacuse the signal on the router drops to zero and it keep redirecting me to the "no internet" default page.

I'm using old BT Homehubs, but I will also buy a new router if that is what is needed e.g random amazon grab TP-Link TL-WR841N

>>You should be able to connect devices to a router to create an "offline" network (when my internet goes out everything still works).
That's what I thought would happen automatically by not having the internet plugged in, but basically the router is annoyed it has no internet and I cca't connect to the NVR. I don't want it available on the internet, just withni my house so I dont have to look at a monitor to view the NVR

Or should I ignore the reolink software if that is the problem and try the NVR directly?

>> No.1805934

>>1805745
Some routers won't dhcp or even function if the wan port isnt up. Bad programming really. The router has a switch built in, it's the block with all the ports. What u don't see and may be helpful is dhcp, along with WLAN which is why a router is ideal for this.

Its also possible your NVR software demands the Internet not the router. That or you're just shit at addressing.

>> No.1805934,1 [INTERNAL] 

Good afternoon! Do you have any security system or just cameras? I guess I can recommend a reliable solution. There are a lot of companies, for example, Ajax, that produces professional security systems. When they installed my home system, I asked them if there is an opportunity to connect the old cameras I had before to the system, so I could control everything including the cameras through the brand app. They can do it. So, maybe you have already thought about such a system. That way, you could avoid a wi-fi connection because that security system works from its own sim card. I hope this information will be helpful!

Ask a locksmith anything; I will answer any question you have.

I've got multiple certifications and belong to multiple associations (although participating in a thread like this goes against their code of ethics - but I'm not renewing with any of them anyways). I've been published in multiple trade magazines (20+ technical articles) and I've even written for 2600 the magazine on a few occasions. I've participated in R&D with the largest manufacturer of security products in the world and even sold them one of my ideas.

Your perception is spot on. The field is not saturated and, as someone who works at an institution with other tradesmen (HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, electrical, etc.) I can honestly say that it was probably one of the most in demand trades right now. There is no young blood in the trade but immense job opportunities. A lot of help wanted out there with no one to fill the jobs. I would try to get an apprenticeship first before distance learning; I know a few companies in my area so desperate for help that they're willing to train someone from the bottom up.

Well now that I'm institutional I don't deal with the suckiest parts: late night calls, shady customers and parts of towns, and unrealistic customers. I guess that's the same with any tradesman on the road though.

>>878706

The quad key ways. Yeah they're restricted. Check eBay periodically. Or find a locksmith shop in the area that deals Schlage products (Primus, Everest). If you bring the locks to them, they'll hopefully be more willing to order you the blanks. But yes, check eBay. A lot of restricted blanks on there - you just have to find yours, which takes time.

Never seen him. Don't really watch much of the YouTube crowd.

As for Master I don't have a problem with them. They make decent SFIC padlocks (where you supply the cylinder). If his gripe is with the shit you buy at Home Depot then he's right, it's shit.

Yes, I picked a light box at a baseball field to turn on the lights when my friends and I were playing. There were also other people walking the perimeter of the field. Park staff had a hard time figuring out how the lights got on. The old people walking thanked me after bitching the park staff out.

While I'm not the guy you're replying to, I've lately become interested in locksmithing.
I have good knowledge of how most common locks operate. I can reliably pick pin and tumbler locks, then again I probably haven't encountered every kind of security pin and configuration of such as I don't pick often enough.

The trick in this industry is to put in 4-5 years anywhere you can, usually a mom and pop deal, and then try like hell to get a job at a hospital, college, county government, school system, etc. That's the institutional work I was referring to.

Most locksmith companies are small potatoes but there are some larger ones. But institutions, that's where the pay and benefits are. I make a pretty good salary and have excellent benefits.

I interviewed at one school, ultimately turned it down, that put 9% of your pay into retirement automatically. They even matched above that a bit once you contributed. They also offered free tuition to your children after 10 years of service.

Some folks enjoy driving in a truck but you cannot beat the benefits a major entity offers. So, in other words, for anyone looking for a trade, bust your ass for 4-5 years making decent but not good money and then wait for one of those spots to open up. And then retire with that job. I can't tell you how many openings I've seen that were a result of someone retiring or dying and not leaving. It's the golden goose of the industry.

Does a locksmith work with electronic locks too?

>> No.878793,2 [INTERNAL] 

Well, I am not sure about this. I think you would better contact a black hat. Only if you want to break into the safe of your rich neighbor, you should apply to the locksmith, ha-ha... If seriously, it's a very important profession nowadays. Would you imagine the situation there are no locksmiths on the planet? Yes, it's impossible to imagine indeed. One day my grandmother was locked inside her flat. I wasn't able to open the door. After a few years of useless efforts, I called www.ezlocksmiths.com them and asked to arrive. They came in fifteen minutes and opened the door during the very first seconds, can you believe it?

This is dry stone masonry. I don't want to do dry stone masonry, but it the stone placement method for these types of walls the same as if you were building a natural stone wall with mortar?

>I'm new to electronics, where to get started?
There are several good books and YouTube channels that are commonly recommended for beginners and those wanting to learn more, many with advanced techniques. The best way to get involved in electronics is just to make stuff. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.

>Books?
Beginner:
Forrest Mims III, Getting Started in Electronics
Charles Platt, Make: Electronics
Michael Jay Geier, How to Diagnose & Fix Everything Electronic

Intermediate:
Kybett & Boysen, All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide
Paul Scherz and Simon Monk, Practical Electronics for Inventors

Advanced:
Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill, The Art of Electronics

>YouTube?
mjlorton
BigClive
paceworldwide
eevblog
EcProjects
greatscottlab
AfroTechMods
Photonvids
sdgelectronics
TheSignalPathBlog

>Project/idea websites?
http://adafruit.com
http://instructables.com/tag/type-id/category-technology/
http://makezine.com/category/electronics/

>Components/equipment sources?
Mouser, Digi-Key, Arrow, Newark are global full-line distributors with small/no minimum order.
RS Components (Europe)
eBay/AliExpress sellers, especially good for component assortments/sample kits (caveat emptor)
Your local independent retail electronics distributors
ladyada.net/library/procure/hobbyist.html

>Circuit simulators?
This mostly comes down to personal preference. These are the most common ones though:
LTSpice
CircuitJS (quick, dirty, interactive)
NI Multisim
CircuitLab
iCircuit for Macs

>PCB layout software?
KiCAD (recommended), why use anything else

>My circuit doesn't work. Halp?
Check wiring, soldering, part pinouts, and board artwork if applicable, then post schematic. Supply ALL relevant info and component values when asking for help.
>Li+/LiPo batteries
Read this fine resource first: https://www.robotshop.com/media/files/pdf/hyperion-g5-50c-3s-1100mah-lipo-battery-User-Guide.pdf

Hello I am still a bit confused about bridge rectifiers work. Are they just an assortments of diodes? What exactly do they control differently then diodes do?

>> No.1438949,2 [INTERNAL] 

Yup so a bridge rectifier is an assortment of diodes , generally it is 4 or more diodes. It helps convert AC to DC and only allows current to pass through in one direction.

>> No.1438949,3 [INTERNAL] 

Ok but is there anything more to it ? or is it just an assortment of diodes? Do you put it together yourself?

actually lining the walls with sandbags would work pretty well and be invisible.

Sandbags would do, but fuck that setup. I'm no veteran or even soldier, i don't own a gun or have any prepping experience, and even i would be able to guarantee you all, that a few dusin .22 would get through that without sandbags, and Americans would be able to perish any sandbags with sheer firepower from all their accessible weapons. I don't know how many round of what kind of caliber it would take, but eventually, and quiet fast, you would blast away a sandbag wall that is just on bag thick, supported by a gasconcrete block.

Again, i have no prepping relation. But why wouldn't you make a sub-surface trench/bunker setup, maybe a small ring protecting an entrance and/or house? Completely hidden in high grass, but with a fast solution to getting it out of the line of sight? And i wont buy any longevity argument, i would be able to construct these installations in a manner that would outlive your standard container, be that above or underground.

I'll be around to answer questions as often as I can be. On the road right now, so for a few days my presence will be sparse. This is the process for building the foam blank of a Holy Grail to be used in sand casting. The cast should be bell metal bronze (80% copper 20% tin), but I couldn't get that far. Funding ran out. Regardless, here's the instruction videos if any of you would like to build a Holy Grail for yourself... using this method. It's by far the cheapest route to that end. Good luck.

Have a good "1"...

Bruh, pellet bed nuclear can give us enough energy for above and below ground ecologies growing hydroponic food for an increasing population for hundreds of years.
Fusion would give us 10k years, we'd have generational ships by then.

This was about some magic machine and you're trying to be a saviour by obsessing about a stone cutting method that has little relevance to humanity surviving a cataclismic event. I hope you enjoy your arguement in hell. See ya there pal.
