Jackshaft vs trolley garage opening system, with long experience

I am changing my current trolley garage opener to something more quieter, the current ceiling mount is right beneath a room, so opening and closing the garage door is really loud for that room. My options are belt system with a much quieter motor, and instead of mounting to a ceiling, it will be mount to a support wood that is attached to that ceiling.

My option is to instead a jackshaft system that is maybe about 8-9 feet away from the original location and it will not be directly beneath the bedroom. My only concern is if the jackshaft opener will be more prone to issues and require more maintenance. Can someone who has installed the jackshaft system and has been using for years share their experience about it?

Can I safely remove this ball joint shower head attachment?

I am replacing the showerhead attachment. When I loosen the showerhead holder, I am seeing this metal ball ending. My question is this a separate part from the metal pipe that comes out of the wall? If so, can I safely remove at the part indicated by the red arrow?

Lowering the hot water tank temperature, should or shouldn't?

I have come across someone (environment expert) saying we don't need our water tank to be set at 60+ degree Celsius or somewhere that high. We can set it to a much lower temperature like 38-40°C which is a comfortable temp for a shower. That way when you just turn the hot water tap, you don't even need to waste energy by mixing boiling hot water with cold water for shower. That sounds very reasonable, and I can't recall when we will need piping hot water in the house.

I want to have a sanity check, however, is this actually a good advice in practice?

Can ComfyUI and Wan2GP share model directory locations?

I know for ComfyUI, you can use extra_model_paths.yaml to specify additional paths to models. Can I do similar thing with Wan2GP? It seems Wan2GP auto-download missing models.

Should I create an external path so both ComfyUI and Wan2GP can look for models there?

One of the Best AI-Generated Sci-Fi Short Films on YouTube - How Was It Made?

Just saw this amazing AI-generated sci-fi short film on YouTube, and honestly, this is probably one of the best examples I've seen so far.

What really impressed me is that it feels much closer to a professionally produced short film than a collection of AI-generated clips. The character consistency, environments, lighting/color, camera movements, poses, and facial expressions all seem remarkably consistent throughout.

I'm really curious how something like this is actually made.

For people who have experience with AI filmmaking, what would the workflow for a production like this typically look like? Are they using a combination of image and video models, character/reference LoRAs, ControlNet, ComfyUI, etc.?

I'm particularly interested in how they maintain the same characters and visual style across many different shots and scenes and their expression are so precise and natural, with both short and long duration scens. Is most of the work done through carefully generated keyframes/reference images and then image-to-video, with a lot of manual selection and post-production?

And what models/setup would you expect to be behind something at this level? I'd be interested in both cloud-based workflows and local workflows (e.g. ComfyUI/Wan/etc.).

I've been experimenting with AI video myself, but there's a huge gap between getting one impressive 5-second clip and producing an entire film where everything feels like it belongs to the same movie.

Would love to hear from anyone who has actually worked on something at this level — even a rough breakdown of the workflow would be really interesting.

How to know where to drill into for a showerhead slide bar installation?

I am installing a vertical showerhead slide bar to a bathroom, my question is how can I be sure where I am drilling into doesn't contain any piping or electrical wires?

My guess would be to find the wall studs and extend it into the shower area? So for my example, I would use a stud finder on the brown wall above the shower area and find the studs, and then project it onto the shower area vertically?

Pictures attached are the before and after (using AI).

Best Git repo structure for managing ComfyUI/Wan2GP across multiple PCs?

I'm trying to set up a clean Git/GitHub structure for an AI content environment that I'll use across multiple computers. The computers have different GPUs/specs, so I want the code/workflows to be shared, while allowing each machine to have its own environment.

My requirements

  • I have multiple Windows PCs with different GPUs/VRAM.
  • I want to use both ComfyUI and Wan2GP.
  • I don't intend to heavily modify/fork either project.
  • I may make occasional small changes to their source/configuration.
  • I want to be able to:
    • Pull updates from the official upstream repositories periodically.
    • Keep my own changes/version history.
    • Roll back ComfyUI independently if an update breaks something.
    • Roll back Wan2GP independently.
    • Have the same setup available on all my computers.
  • I also want to keep my workflows synchronized between computers.
  • ComfyUI/Wan2GP require certain files to physically exist inside their directories, so I may have things like:
    • user/my-workflow.json
    • models/my-model.safetensors
  • I don't want to put large model files in GitHub. I'd rather have Git ignore them while the files remain physically inside the ComfyUI/Wan2GP directories.
  • The Python/Conda environments should not necessarily be identical between machines because the GPUs and hardware are different.
  • Ideally, setup/update scripts should eventually automate setting up each machine.

The structure I'm considering

Dev/
└── ai-content-machine/              ← private GitHub repo
    │
    ├── .git/
    │
    ├── ComfyUI/                     ← private comfyui-custom repo
    │   └── .git/
    │
    ├── Wan2GP/                      ← private wan2gp-custom repo
    │   └── .git/
    │
    ├── script/
    │   ├── setup.ps1
    │   ├── setup-comfyui.ps1
    │   ├── setup-wan2gp.ps1
    │   ├── update.ps1
    │   └── launch.ps1
    │
    ├── config/
    │   └── machines/
    │       ├── desktop.yaml
    │       └── laptop.yaml
    │
    ├── workflow/
    │   ├── comfyui/
    │   └── wan2gp/
    │
    └── README.md

So there would be three independent repositories:

ai-content-machine
comfyui-custom
wan2gp-custom

And ComfyUI/ and Wan2GP/ are cloned into ai-content-machine/.

How I'm thinking about the private repos

For ComfyUI, for example:

official ComfyUI GitHub
        │
        │ upstream
        ▼
comfyui-custom (private GitHub repo)
        │
        │ origin
        ▼
local ComfyUI/

So I'd initially clone the public ComfyUI repo, change the remote:

origin   → my private comfyui-custom
upstream → official ComfyUI

and periodically pull/merge upstream changes.

Same idea for Wan2GP.

My main question

Is this actually a good architecture for my requirements, or am I overcomplicating it?

In particular, I'm wondering:

  1. Would you keep ai-content-machine, comfyui-custom, and wan2gp-custom as three separate repos?
  2. Would you instead just clone the public ComfyUI/Wan2GP repos directly inside ai-content-machine and manage everything from there?
  3. Would Git submodules be preferable?
  4. Is there a better way to handle the workflows that need to live physically inside ComfyUI/user/ or similar directories?
  5. How would you handle large models that need to physically live under ComfyUI/models/ but shouldn't be committed to Git?
  6. Does it make sense to have the same source repos across all computers but create different Python/PyTorch/CUDA environments based on each machine's GPU?
  7. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with having independent .git directories nested like this?

I'm mainly looking for a practical setup that won't become a maintenance headache, rather than the most sophisticated Git architecture.

How do I get rid of weeds and crabgrass in my rock areas?

There are more and more weeds and crabgrass growing in my rock areas. The rock areas have landscape fabric underneath, with about 4–5 inches of rock on top. However, over the years, I think a small amount of soil and organic matter has accumulated underneath and between the rocks. It seems that the weeds and crabgrass only need a tiny amount of soil to take root and grow.

Is there anything I can do to completely clear the weeds and crabgrass and prevent them from growing back, ideally for the long term?

I am confused of what will become my Github Copilot Pro subscription by the end of this month

Looks like my yearly Copilot Pro is ending 2026-08-25. But I don't understand what is going to happen by then? If it downgrades mine to Copilot Free, will they still charge me by 2026-08-25 like it says in the lower section? Should I do to manage subscription and then "cancel and refund subscription" before 2026-08-25?

Should I remove the spacing between the two composite decking boards surrounding this board so I can shift it by 1 mm?

Last year, I redid my deck but replacing the wood decking with composite ones (https://www.homedepot.ca/product/deckorators-pioneer-1-in-x-6-in-x-20-ft-lakeview-grey-solid-composite-decking-board/1001625969). I'd say it went as well as I expected.

However, due to a rookie mistake, I have the following "issue".

https://preview.redd.it/kvqdjdw8hweh1.png?width=818&format=png&auto=webp&s=b16157f2c6ab1236a73483ba4ee8918134cb1297

All of the spacing between the deck boards are close to perfect except for one (deck board A). Here are some actual pictures.

Around deck board A

Around all other deck boards

My questions are:

  1. Will the 4mm spacing be possibly causing structural issues down the road (I live in a harsh climate with sunny and hot summers and winters can be as low as -30C?

  2. Visually it is not too obvious unless you really focus on the spacing, and you will definitely spot this odd one out. I only installed half of the screws and plugs on deck boards B and C, just in case I decide to make the adjustment this year (moving board B about 0.75mm to the right and board C 0.75mm to the left). What are your thoughts? Is it too much of a hassle or would you make this shift just for a complete ease of mind?
