Hi all. I have a bathroom fan on a simple switch but wanted to upgrade it to a time. When I pulled the switch out of the wall I found one ground wire, and a singe wire with some of the sheathing removed to loop around the other terminal.

Can I cut the looped wire and connect it to the load / line on the timer? Then I connect the ground to the uncapped ground/neutral on the switch?

Edit: the advice worked.

I put the unlooped black wire with one of the black wires on the timer. I cut the black loop and tied the two wires to another black wire on the timer. I put another grounding wire on the metal box and attached it to ground. Likewise, I pigtailed the neutral bundle and connected to neutral.

It took a few tries to get the box to close correctly since the timer is so big, but it worked out! Thanks again all.

Something like this is really hard to make a gui for. I suppose a GUI would only be useful for discovering config values?

Either way, a gui would likely look like YAST on OpenSuse.

How did you do it? Did you run a live distro on the new laptop to receive and overwrite the SSD ?

He addresses it in another video, but there isn’t a single rights holder. There are 3 that each own different parts of the game. He tried contacting them but none responded.

Or on their phone.

Most of the time it’s used to help guests get onto the wifi quickly.

I also find it handy to get the wifi password when on-boarding smart devices or whatever new gadget.

 

Hi everyone!

I recently created a user-friendly WiFi portal that runs on my private LAN. The goal was to provide my family with quick access to WiFi information without them needing to ask me for it. After searching for a similar solution and not finding one, I decided to build it myself!

Some of the key features:

  • Login info hidden unless you explicitly click on it.
  • Generates QR code for your use.
  • Mobile and PWA support.
  • Tags to help identify when to use each network.

I'm not a web developer, so I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the app. Thanks for your support!

This really is the way.

It goes beyond documentation too - it allows me to migrate to new hosts or to easily automate upgrading the OS release version.

I have a docusaurus site for my homeland and I have ansible and terraform generate files for the docs so I don’t have to record anything. Some of the stuff I note down:

  • DNS leases
  • General infra diagrams
  • IP info
  • Host info
 

Hi all, I wanted to query what others are doing with their open source projects on codeberg.

I have a Nuxt3 project (will share soon) but wanted to add the following. How do you do it?

  1. CI: I know they have woodpecker. Do you use that, or do you roll your own?
  2. Docker Images: Where do you push these? I know forejo has a built in container repository but I can't find docs on the limits or how to use it?
  3. BOTS: specifically renovate to update those pesky npm dependencies.

I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.
