Hey, everyone.. Sobernauts and all.. My Girl just made two months sober today after having a two week fuck-up and reset.

I'm taking her to a little lake nearby and teaching her how to kayak. But, I'd like to get her a special gift of some sort, too and I absolutely fuckin suck ass at giving gifts.

Anyone have any good ideas you can think of?

Thanks, and I miss y'all. As for my sobriety, I'm fuckin it up at the moment, but trying to not go completely off the deep end. Staying away from liquor and I believe I'm ready to give it up entirely, again.. I'll be back soon.

Anyone else using the standard edition of DDDL having recent issues with the loss of Parameter access and other key features on Detroit / Freightliners?

First issue I ran into a while back was with replacing an ACM on one of our trucks. The ability to have the ACM programmed at FL, shipped to me and then resetting the Ash Accumulator at our shop was removed from the Standard DDDL software. After nearly a week of dealing with that shit, Detroit finally temporarily upgraded our software to the Professional version and still, the option to 'Replace ACM' is no longer available in the Standard edition.

Fast forward to now, I have a truck that I need to install fog lamps in. So, I need to turn on its Parameter options in the SAMCAB module. All of the parameters in the SAMCAB, SAMCHASSIS, MSF and ICU are no longer available in the Standard Edition software. This literally guts my ability to do many of my required duties at my job as a heavy truck mechanic. These were all modifiable parameters in Standard Edition in the fairly recent past. This really puts me at an unacceptable disadvantage for the work that I do. I'm turning a very significant amount of my outside labor time on work that requires me to have access to Parameters and Options. It's also killing the work I am able perform on our personal fleet trucks as well.

Are any of you mechanics facing this dilemma, as well? Or have any information that may be helpful in my situation? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If this is posted in the wrong place, any idea where I might better post it? I haven't found any heavy truck threads on Lemmy, yet.

Quite possibly the best pod on the Internet. Give it a listen.

Many years ago I posted a few pictures to Reddit using IPFS. It didn't go over very well, the pictures were basically not viewable unless I was online with my node running.

How far has IPFS come in the last eight/nine years or so..?

Is it a fairly decent alternative to something like IMGUR, yet?

I've been out of the loop for nearly as many years, too. But, I'm glad to see the project still here and I'm interested in where it's at these days.
