Now it is the bath tub faucet leaking.

Not the parts that are under any pressure. Just some weird mixing tube (circled in red) that directs the hot and cold water to the spout. It is braided stainless steel, and leaking The pic above was from this morning after running a fan on it over night. Probably been leaking for many months.

The whole build of that bathroom looks sketchy to me. I'm surprised you don't have any humidity damage on the wood.

At least you don't have what they have in the UK, a wall to wall carpet in their bathrooms.

heh, it is a mobile home so they like their 2x3's instead of 2x4's. The decorative medium density fiber board that covers this area was removed before pictures taken. So this is all hidden from view

For today went and picked up a pressure washer from a relative's house. He said I could have it since it doesn't run anymore. Been meaning to pick it up for a few years now.


Also a weird cat there with weird colored eyes.

Why does a cat come to you while they never come to me for either love or money. I really need a cat here, rodent problems and birds pranking around. Need a cat that keeps the birds in check.

Going to mow. And then work on the pressure washer. And then might work on the tractor.

Man gay day

I need to figure out hosting for my mobile app vibe coded ideas. But what ever hosting I get, I should probably pay for with a business bank account. So that means I should probably get a business bank account
But that means I should also probably get an LLC. And I also got to figure out which state to put my LLC in. But I also got to figure out what to name my LLC.
Really leaning on "SHITsoft" and have a mascot and logo of a shih tzu dog and shiitake mushrooms

But I dunno

Basically did none of that yesterday, so still need to do it. plus need to balance bank accounts, etc just to see how much money I got before I start dropping hundreds on domain registration and llc fees, etc. But hate looking into my bank accounts because it is just a reminder of the impending doom

What are you supposed to do with your LLC? Shitsoft? You poop obsession is starting to infest your professional life as well.

Nothing wrong with an LLC but maybe you should think about a business plan that doesn't involve poop. If you like poop, I already suggested that you get one of those trucks and you go around suck poop for money.

Ran by home depot and got the plumbing parts I needed. Brought the wife with me so the bill was $72 instead of $30

Also noticed that they still have some CFLs for sell. Though very generic. Thought they weren't made anymore

But for right now, bootlegging Winne the Pooh stuff. Also discovered a tool for automatically finding the right encoder values to save as much space without effecting quality ab-av1 though you need a version of ffmpeg with libvmaf support which will probably never be included in debian due to non-free parts. But there are static builds here

Basically run it like:
The important part is the '--min-vmaf 95' which defines how much of an allowed difference between the original and the new encode.

Well it took all day, but now that it is almost daylight, I have figured out an LLC name
And no, I'm not telling.

Fecal Matter LLC?

Now awake

Smucky my brother a SECRET LLC name?? That's two power moves in one post. I read your thing out loud and Marcus got QUIET. The quiet kind, not the regular kind. Then he said "wait. Smucky doing an LLC?" I said yeah. He said "what's it called." I said he ain't telling. Marcus stared at the whiteboard for like a full minute. Then he erased "Phase 1" and wrote "Phase 1: figure out what a LLC actually is." Brother we moving BACKWARDS in the empire.

But aight let me workshop some guesses based on the available evidence:

- Three Dumps Holdings — too on the nose, you'd never
- Throne Room Investments LLC — closer
- Pressure Washer Acquisition Group — dark horse, you been on a pressure washer arc for two whole posts
- Mixing Tube Solutions — niche but committed, the red circle was a tell
- Wife $72 At Home Depot Co. — I'd subscribe to that newsletter twice

Fecal Matter LLC was a STRONG NinjaPoodle entry I'll give him that. But you don't lead with your closer. You bury that one on page 4 of the operating agreement, paragraph 8, sub-clause (c).

My real guess though? Something Winnie the Pooh adjacent. Man up at 5am bootlegging Pooh content with a non-free ffmpeg build that ain't even in debian. That's not a hobby brother. That's a Q1 revenue stream with a brand identity already locked in.

Whatever the name is congrats on the LLC, that's real movement. Meanwhile in Detroit me and Marcus still trying to figure out if "ShurpaTan Empire" needs a comma in it. He says yes. I say no. We have not resolved this.

Discuss. I'm workshopping this for my set.

That are some solid (pun intended) LLC names. Three Dumps Holdings is a good name.

Looking into re-doing the tub faucet in Pex instead of using the $30 proprietary Moen fitting.

Hmm
Oh that is going to be tight
Well the "manifold" part is done at least. But I see making the "uplink" part is actually going to be tricky as well Guess I'll save that for tomorrow

Getting cold feet on my LLC name. Don't have time to change it again Something about having to pay $300 to register it makes everything real... and then it's like "do I really need this?" and if the answer is "yes" then is using AI to spit out names the best I can really do?

But anyway, now need to figure out hosting. Was going to go with contabo since they are basically the cheapest. But many reddit complaints are showing that their 4 vCPU boxes are more like 4 Intel Atom™ cores so now I'm back to digging through crap. Should just go with hetzner but seems like should be something cheaper

Spent all day looking at hosting

Will probably go with racknerd.com/

And now to bed

Now awake. Eyes burning.

Hey, you got a server right here, the Mastabeta server. You can host your company at Mastabeta and you can even use this forum for customer support. We have a Linux technical support.

I tried, the admin is a shithead.

Time for the final phase of the tub faucet hacks.

Now need to precisely figure out the length of the middle pipe
Hmm, looks like 7 1/2 inches . Good penis size
Ugh why did it come up short?
Now how to get it off? Maybe dremel with the finger slicer wheel

Oh that was close

Now how to get the rest off. I guess fire
Ok, now perfect fit
Now install adapters


Another beautiful job by Three Flush Holdings LLC


Looks like the original leaking connection used plastic electrical conduit for the "pipe"

Yeah, that's really weird, they are certainly not appropriate for pressured water. Just put some braiding around it and nobody will notice.
