  • Can confirm. Neighbors house had an attic fire with knob & tube wiring.

    … Just like the stuff still in my place today. Eek! Landlord won’t upgrade unless there is a problem. In my house, the breakers are all 20amp and that’s a lot to run on, best guess, 70 year old wires.

    Oh, and do not assume anything is wired as expected. Test after. I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

    A cheaper solution is to take a copper wire and connect the ground screw of the socket to a water pipe. It does the job and is better than nothing.




  • I use kimai.

    It’s grown over the past few years and lots of bugs squished. Could use a little developer help regarding custom invoice templates, but I like the direction it’s headed.

    There is a convenient app that works pretty well. I think it’s a couple bucks now, but nothing outrageous.
