Cant reset my password

Reddit works on my desktop fine.

Today my reddit app on android ( samsung) had me not logged in.

WHen I click on reset password it something like "uh oh, something went wrong and we arent sure what"

I cleared cache, I cleared data didnt help.

I uninstalled and reinstalled. Didnt help

Thru the process of trying different things, it told me I used up my reset attempts.

Can anyone suggest how to make my android device work with reddit?

UPDATE : I tried the email login link - That got me into reddit, but I have user names among my reddit account, and it only gives me access to the OTHER one. So, I dont have a clue what to do

UPDATE 2: I typed in my username instead of email for the password reset. It allowed a password reset email to be sent out. But when I clicked the link, it went back to the "uh oh, something went wrong and we arent sure what"

Can't get into Facebook account due to email gone. should I take the hacked account route?

My hotmail account is long gone. Facebook only has this Hotmail account with my loginnfor 2fa. They wont respond to my emails. I dont know how to get back in.

​

If i go the route of "my account was hacked" what are the possible outcomes? Does it simply destroy my account or is there a method that could eventually give me access if I jump thru the hoops?

Networking help - Dual NIC questions

I installed a new NIC in my computer. I wish to make my cameras on their own physical network.

NIC 1 - 192.168.1.101 This is for internet access.... this is the network for my entire house except the cameras.

NIC 2 - 192.168.2.101 This is the network all my cameras will be on. POE switch feed all cameras and also plugs into NIC2. I dont have a router on this network

In my camera settings I set

IP address : 192.168.2.5

Subnet : 255.255.255.0

Gateway: ????????????? - I must enter something in this field to save the settings

DNS: STATIC It wont let me select AUTO, auto is greyed out

Prefered DNS : ??????? - I must enter something in this field to save the settings

Alternate DNS: ???????? - I must enter something in this field to save the settings

Please help with the question marks.

I thought the gateway is typically your router? ( I am not using one).

I thought the DNS was for routing internet traffic? My physical network will not be on the internet.

Thanks

Using 2 PWM fans on the air ducts. Safe?

Not sure if this is the correct sub reddit to ask this... mods, my feelings wont be hurt if you delete this.

I wish to use home assistant to turn on two PWM fans installed inside my heat registry ( aircondition vent ) to move more air into a bedroom ( that gets poor air flow) when its bathroom fan turns on. I am aware that there are many ACboosters and heat boosters that drop in, but none of them look to be comptible with HA.

With that said, I my idea is two use two PWM fans. HA can easily turn those on and off. They will also allow heat/AirCon to pass thru on normal day to day operation. But my concern is, as the fans spin from day to day operation, are they being damaged? Is this going to generate voltage?

Perhaps someone else knows a HA alternative to this problem?

Thanks

Whats your cheapest POE outdoor camera suggestion?

I have 12 Reolink cameras of various models. They were a bit of a struggle to get them to work with blue iris, but they eventually did. I need 2 more cameras. I dont need the latest and greatest hardware. They are mostly to check if I closed my gate and if I closed my shed.

Reolink RLC-510 is $70CAD ( $50 USD ), which is their cheapest camera.

What is comparable for the same price or cheaper? I dont want to spend more.

It always baffles me that reolink is easily the best bang for your buck, but they are kind of annoying with blue iris.

Help me pick a zigbee adapter!!!

I have determined I want a zigbee adapter for my HA I am prepared to get setup. It seems to be the first step.

I live in a 2story house.

My PC running HA will be in my basement ( so perhaps USB isnt the way to go?)

I have the ability to run a POE ethernet cable to the middle of my house if it helps.

Which one do I buy? I want to keep it simple and not tinker with it.

Any tiny voltage sensing device for behind a light switch?

I am trying to find a small/micro device that I can wire behind a dumb/basic 120Vac light switch that will notify HA that the switch is powered up. I see lots of devices that act as a set of contacts to turn the lights on... but I want a sensing element to update the status of the switch to my HA wirelessly.

Thoughts or comments?

What product/eco system do i want?

Brand new to HA. I have blue iris, but thats about it.

I wish to remotely turn on a fresh air intake fan when I turn on my bathroom fan. I am thinking a z-wave device will do this? I am visualizing a bathroom fan switch that turns on the fan, also sends a signal wirelessly to a hub, I program the hub to turn on the fresh air intake fan.

What ecosystem and product line should I be looking at?

Thanks

Any wireless control options to control fans?

​

My house too sealed up, and has near negative pressure. My bathroom fans dont flow well. So I wish to turn on fan that sucks fresh air into my basement to slightly pressure the house.

No I dont want a make up air unit. No I dont want a hrv.

Is there a fan switch option to remotely turn on my fresh air fan when a bathroom fan turns on? Likely a wireless option?

New MachE compliant - mode selector icon doesnt reflect the setting

The distribution ( mode selector ) (determines if the cabin air flow is directed at your body/feet/windshield) icon doesnt change to reflect the current setting selected. It always shows feet/body/windshield regardless of what is actually selected.

Minor compliant that you have to press this icon, look at the newly opened window , close the newly opened window to determine the current setting.

Is a Trek Marlin+ 6 Hardtail a good ebike?

I am older, want to get back into biking after 20 years of not biking. I dont know how to look at bike specs and determine what is good or bad.

Is the trek Marlin+ 6 hardtail decent? Its priced at about 3500cad ( 2500 USD ). It is the best priced mountain ebike in my city.

I mostly am concerned about reliability and cost of ownership. I basically want the honda civic of ebikes.

Can you suggest a comparable entry level mountain ebike that maybe more reliable?
