The ones I've used time the pedestrian lights with the traffic, so it's safer for them. Still tricky for peds going across turn lanes.

Holy cow-had no idea they made those.

Yes, and well-made crust like this is delicious.

Unfortunately lots of it isn't great

They transition just fine in winter, even down to 10f or lower.

They have a version that works in cars now. But that's an issue with the car windshield blocking UV. So leave a magnetic "clip on" shades in the car. They look exactly like your frames, with them attached you can't tell they just stick on from the front - they look just like your glasses.

Never had them not work in cold. They change even during heavy snowfall when it's well below freezing and well, no sun, heavy clouds. It's great because they help with the glare from snow.

Transitions are game changing. Sounds like someone who doesn't wear glasses all the time. I even had transition sunglasses before I needed glasses - got tired of taking them off going in/out all day.

Not sure who created this (I kkow, XKCD), but it's mediocre.

Double-ended extension cords belongs in the top left right corner. Sounds bad and is bad.

BearOfaTime , to Home Improvement in Handyman suggested cutting hole in 1330 sq. ft. attic for second attic ventilator. Does this make sense?

240v for an attic fan? Wtf?

Yea, fire this "handyman". 240 in the US is for high load devices, like AC, electric stove (electric heat is a direct short), electric water heater.

A fan draws a very small amount of current - less than 5 amps at 120v.

I have a small portable blower (this uses a compressor wheel, so draws more current than a fan), and it's rated for 5 amps.

I assume you have some kind of smart TV. What kind? It may be possible to simply browse the media server from the TV, or use an app there.

Good point.

OP, can you switch their router to bridging mode?

Use your own router downstream of theirs.

It may not boot if you simply remove it. Often a laptop POST will check for the fan at boot.

Replace it. You can probably find one on eBay for a few dollars.

I recently replaced one in a 10+ year old Thinkpad for $10

Edit: Though I admire your ingenuity and commitment with the giant heat sink idea!

BearOfaTime , (edited ) to homelab in [WORKAROUND] Nextcloud portforward stops working when it is moved to a bridged network

After looking at the docs you linked, I’m not sure why you’d need to bridge the wifi to the LAN - it already is via the inbuilt switch ports (it’s been a while but when I tinkered with WRT it was for consumer wireless routers, which are a router, a switch, and a wireless access point rolled into one.).

Just disable DHCP, DNS, and connect one of the network ports (NOT the uplink) to the network that Router A is on, and Bob’s your uncle. (

The switch part will provide all the bridging (since that’s what switches do) and the wireless is already bridged to that switch.

So I don’t even see a need for relayd software and it’s config. The router, with DHCP and DNS off, the uplink port not used, is essentially just being a switching bridge. If you can disable the uplink port that would be even better, but so long as it’s set to use DHCP for an address, it’ll never get one. Or you could set it to a private class that you won’t use: say your network is 192.168.x.x, set the uplink to use 10.0.0.x. You’ll never have traffic wanting to use that network.

Edit: Ah, I see. You’re using 2 wifi access points as a bridge to each other. Hmm, yea, that’s not typically a thing (though I’ve seen it more recently) which is why you’re using relayd.

Definitely looks like relayd is playing pretend at bridging somehow, but not perfectly. Is there a forum for relayd?

BearOfaTime , (edited ) to homelab in [WORKAROUND] Nextcloud portforward stops working when it is moved to a bridged network

Yea, B is still acting like a router if it’s creating those messages.

I wonder if it’s bridging mode is actually bridging, or if it’s doing something weird.

OP - how is router B cabled? If it’s a typical consumer device it has one uplink port, which you wouldn’t use (usually) for a bridge setup. Because really a bridge today is just a switch (they were first called switching bridges, and we got lazy and just say switch). Use of an uplink port implies routing, not sure if the router changes its config for bridge mode. I just don’t use that port when I need switching.
