I noticed that my 2024 Tucson hybrid is always getting better MPG on local when I accelerate hard.

The trend is if I accelerate hard and keep it around 30 mph mileage seems better.

Slow accelerations and keeping around 30 don't normally produce the same results. I give the car regular maintenance and haven't had any issues. Still under 20 miles lifetime. Had the car for almost 3 years, purchased new

Anyone else see something similar?

More so how to clean the insides not the pitcher. I see the manual says to put water + vinegar to clean the big resovoir, cool.

But how about the internal connection/tubing between the resevoir and the pitcher, how can I clean that?

It's not mentioned how to do it in the manual.

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Country US

Budget USD 700

Are you open to refurbs/used options? Yes, I have bought refurbished from eBay before!

Screen size Any

Weight limit About 3lbs or less

Purpose Lots of terminal, coding agent and coding web browsing, light gaming

Form factor Any

Intended usage Web browser, pi agent, light steam games

Desired battery life Around 8-10, if I game will be plugged in so that won't matter

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between weight, battery life, performance, keyboard, display quality

Info/Requirements Ryzen because so far I'm finding Intel core 200 series 226v to be a bit laggy with general usage and web browsing. Tried Linux mint and windows 11

I've decided on my workflow for my lemonade AI server

I want to run 2 models. One is qwen3.6 27b and the other I'll need a recommendation for.

What's a good small local model for getting info and scrapping websites for info? Planning to run it alongside qwen 27b Q8 on 64GB of VRAM

Looking for a laptop to to use at my dining room table. Will be coding on it and browsing the web.

Thinking 10+ hours

No gaming or heavy video editing.

Open to windows or Linux.

Is this possible or unrealistic?

To be fair it's furniture and some other random items.

Any known good place locally to do this?

I unfortunately have to re-case my NAS since we're switching our apartment around.

NAS will be going in the closet.

I need a case that fits a micro ATX board and at least three 3.5 sized HDDs.

Any recommendations?

What's the best backup for a proxmox server with multiple VMs. VMs just have docker containers.

One of the VMs is TrueNAS with actual data and stuff.

Is borg or restic good? Feel free to recommend something else as long as it's FOSS

The goal is:

• have a small backup size since backups will be going over the internet via a WG tunnel
• Resiliant backups, dont want to have to babysit the backup setup after it's in place or worry a job ran successfully everyday
• Easy to restore if well..... proxmox crashes

The backup server will also be running AI stuff during the day and it needs to be an ubuntu host OS. will schedule backups overnight, no surprise there

For the love of god please tell me I'm crazy or wrong.

I spent my entire evening thinking my opencloud instance was broken only to find pangolin and my docker VM couldn't talk anymore.

I got further down the rabbit hole and logs and see pangolin legit paywalled the wireguard connection. I see this in the console.

Thought to myself maybe a it's a bug. i already had this setup. so I went and made a new site, new credentials no enterprise prompt sweet!

hit save, page still looks good. Go over to the credentials tab and i see the enterprise edition message again.

What in the actual f*%$! I hope im wrong and messed something up. please tell me im stupid and wrong.

Looking for advice. I don't recall what version I was running before the upgrade unfortunately and went to the latest version.

an hour on google search led me to the "breaking changes" github for opencloud.

is there anyway to roll it back? Assuming opencloud doesn't mangle up the data, the. env file stores data in TrueNAS so would I be able to mount it and pluck it out?

I have been syncing via mobile but the data there is almost a month old.

I really wanna learn coding.

The problem is I don't know what language to pick. I was learning Python from code academy and that was actually going really well but without a purpose I wasted those 6 months.

I didn't have anything to work on, I forgot everything a year later.

Now the question, why do I wanna learn coding? I wanna learn a language I can build something useful / fun with. I do wanna build an android app but should I learn kotlin? But also to keep myself employable as someone who works in IT.

How do people go about learning their first language? Do I just pick a problem / project and brute force learn and try to finish it? Then move onto another language if I wanna do something else?

I'm just really confused 😵‍💫

Thanks in advance.

Buying a fan, my white generic oscillating fan is crazy old and wobbly.

Looking at the Dreo one S but open to options. Obviously want something that is HA fully compatible

Thanks!

For context,

I have friends saving up for gaming PCs. Want to buy a game on sale now and gift it to them once they have the PC built as a fun suprise!

I'll go first,

It's TrueNAS CE. I’m not cutting corners on security either — I’m just exhausted by the maintenance. Every service gets its own service account and password because security, dedicated dataset (Immich, Jellyfin, etc.), and folder hierarchies for personal files.

Thing is creating a dataset, service account, SSH-ing into the server, juggling credentials, tweaking fstab… it feels like well... IT administration (LMAO) I know I know, that's kinda why we all do it and I won't stop.

That said, it starting to feel like that Ben Affleck smoking meme and I don't even smoke. So why do I keep doing it? The money and privacy of course Between cumulative subscription fees, family sharing, and data scaling, the cost would’ve easily made me bankrupt. So I went upfront:

• $700 on a custom built, low power PC
• $360 for a 3×8TB RAID array (it's being backed up)

What's a service you hate self hosting but won't stop?

The Tucson 2024 hybrid software is broken and I would like to tweak some things. Here are a few things that need fixing.

First, the alerts. Super annoying! Saying "traffic camera ahead" and interrupting my music is useless. If you speed in the United States you get ticketed and fined, so I don't want to speed.

Alerts always duck down the music so twice as obnoxious.

Second, even in the winter and with the auto defog auto humidifier and other related features disabled. The car still turns the Air Conditioner on.

Third, it never ever remembers my climate settings. Such a basic feature doesnt work.

Fourth, no a huge deal but I just don't like all the data they steal from drivers. I think we paid a lot of money for our cars and absolutely deserve privacy.

I'm not a software engineer or security guy myself but know my way around Linux. If there were already an exploit to gain shell / root I could start poking around and making some changes.

I'm noticing weird behaviour related to context windows and hoping someone has a fix.

With pi agent, I'm using openai-completions API running off lemonade server. 3 models are connected locally (not at the same time) I have the context window hard coded into the pi config json.

The ctx blows up to about 400k even though I have it set to 128k.

Starting a new chat is the temp fix. Haven't tried to compress the chat yet since idk what the negative effects of that are since I'm working on a coding project.

I removed 6 pi extensions and left the 4 default bash extensions. Still the exact same issue with the same CTX size of over 400k.

Checking lemonade logs and they showing the problem, pi trying to use up too much ctx.

This tells me the chat itself could someone how be the problem.
