ULPT: Get free Amazon products by shipping an item to an Amazon locker with your name listed in the address field. Your item will arrive at the locker but the system won't recognize a package with a name. Complain to Amazon that your product didn't arrive (or took > 2 days) and they'll send another.

I ordered an item through Amazon about a week ago. Instead of choosing an Amazon locker under "pickup locations," I added the locker as a "new address," filled out the fields with the locker's address, and added my name in the appropriate field.

Amazon alerted me that my package arrived to the locker within a day, but it wasn't yet ready for pickup as it takes time to process the packages. I assumed it would be ready for pickup the next day as Prime guarantees two-day shipping, but after three or four days without receiving the pickup code I called Amazon to see what happened.

It turns out that an Amazon locker has difficultly recognizing packages with names listed in the address field (shipping an item through "pickup locations" does not put your name on the package). This means that it can take longer than two days for them to sort those packages. Since I couldn't pick up my package within the two-day Prime guarantee, Amazon sent me the same item again for free. The item that I initially ordered was still at the locker so I received the first item after the second one, one they had finally finished processing it.

I doubt this will work every or multiple times, but it worked for me so you might as well give it a shot. Also, Jeff Bezos, if you're reading this, this was a mistake and I *cough* do not intend on doing it again.

Hey guys! Got a trip to New York coming up, so I need some money. Feel free to send me a DM about any of these items!

Currently paying off the credit card due to that New York trip, so pls buy stuff this time.

PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING - Prices lowered so pls make inquiries.

Tokyo Marui AK74 AEG inside SRU Bullpup kit - $280

Gearbox has never been opened, so it's still got that amazing TM magic inside. Gun is wired to deans. Original front handguard was sawed off to install a weaver rail system, so you can mount all your juicy grips or grenade launchers. Gun also has the most gorgeous swordfish vibe. Would come with one mag, as well as everything you'd need to turn it back into a regular TM AK47.

Scorpion Evo SMG Package - $410 OBO

This is like the second time I've had a brand new Evo, and while it is by far the best gun in my arsenal, I just never want to take it out. Basically new, and comes with **5 midcaps & 2 high caps.**Maybe one day I'll finally run this on the field, but not anytime soon.

EMG Sharps Bros Jack 7" SBR - $190

Fairly upset I have to put this one up on the market. I planned to use it as a PBR, but I'd need to use a folding stock for it to be legal on my field for size requirements. It's rear wired, so you can see where my problem is. I don't want to get rid of it, but I will most likely have to. R-hopped barrel, everything else is pretty stock. Shoots great, but unless I take the time to front-wire it, I'll most likely just end up selling it. Comes with one high-cap magazine.

Krytac LVOA-C with Phantom Elcan - $380 OBO

Most likely will only sell this one if none of my other guns sell since I literally just bought this locally and haven't even gotten a chance to take it on the field (gun was only used once by previous owner, and it works perfectly). Would come with 2 mini-mags, Magpul-style grip, as well as the Phantom Elcan. Legit a long boi so buyers beware since it's not the LVOA-S. As you can see in the pictures, comes with some dinks in the front, mainly to the paint.

Classic Army Delta 10 Skirmish Line M4 with Wolverine Inferno Gen 2 Spartan HPA Engine installed -$350

Also another one I REALLY don't want to get rid of. This gun has been my work horse for a while now, so I will wait until the end to get rid of it, but I'll do whatever I have to do. Gun is completely stock barrel and hop-up wise, but as sta

Package tracking changed from "In Transit to Next Facility" to "Label Created, not yet in system"

I shipped a package through First Class and it has been hanging around the destination hub for a couple days now. I was getting the "In Transit to Next Facility" status for a couple days and I assumed that was just address encoding. But now once I go check the tracking it gives me "Label Created, Not Yet In System."

9400109699937202144294

Anyone know what happened here? I shipped this on Jan 10th from CA to NY.

Edit: It seems like all tracking numbers show the "Label Created, Not Yet In System." I'm guessing this is a system error?

Wiped System/Cache/Dalvik in TWRP to get rid of bad gapps package now phone won't boot

Hi there, thanks in advance for any advice! I had successfully installed LineageOS 15.1 on an LG G2 D802. It booted fine. It would restart, go into TWRP and boot back in to Android. No problem.

I then tried to install Gapps (Google apps) but much to misfortunate, I picked the wrong package (the apps never ran properly, always asked me to wait). A bit more reading and apparently it was definitely a good idea to wipe System/Cache/Dalvik from TWRP. In my case, this has bricked my phone. All I see is the LG boot logo when the phone powers on.

It is now impossible for me to get into TWRP recovery. I press POWER + VOLUME DOWN, and release when I see the logo and have tried every combination of POWER + VOLUME DOWN to see if they would work. No luck whatsoever.

Any advice? Is my phone completely bricked? Is there something else I could try?

In openSUSE, why is it required to switch system packages to Packman repo after adding it?

This page in the openSUSE documentation says the following about adding the Packman repository:

> After adding packman repository be sure to switch system package to those in packman as a mix of both can cause a variety of issues.

But isn't Packman just community packages that are largely unmoderated? Wouldn't the more security conscious thing be to have the openSUSE repository be the default and the Packman repo be the fallback only if something is not already in the first party repositories?

How to package, distribute and make a python script executable from anywhere in the system?

Hello everyone!

For the past two weeks or so I've been working on a small script meant to organize files inside a folder, the py-organizer. It's not anything robust or special, but I've finally reached a point where it works somewhat as intended. Now I want to make it accessible before continuing to develop it.

I'm doing it mostly as a learning and keep my mind busy experience, so no commercial intents exist.

Anyway, I've read about creating the __init__.py and using setuptools to package it but I still haven't managed to make those things work. Is there a good tutorial for this? After installing my package on a test-enviroment I could import it but I didn't manage to reach the functions I defined. (If it matters, my __init__.py was empty since it looks like python3 has no problems with this)

Another thing I wanted to address is that I wanted to make it executable from everywhere in the OS, just like pywal does but I could not find an answer on how to do this.

Trying to run script in Systems Manager, apt-get install returns 'unable to locate package'. Package exists. What am I doing wrong?

Trying to use the AWS-RunShellScript command in Amazon to run the following script on Ubuntu 16.04:

 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y chrony
sudo sh -c 'grep -q -F "server 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst" /etc/chrony/chrony.conf || echo "$(echo "server 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst" | cat - /etc/chrony/chrony.conf)" > /tmp/chrony-new.conf'
sudo mv /etc/chrony/chrony.conf /etc/chrony/chrony.conf.bak
sudo mv /tmp/chrony-new.conf /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
sudo chown root:root /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/chrony restart  

 

This script runs fine locally. The 'chrony' package exists in the repo but Systems Manager returns the following output:

 

>Reading package lists... > >Building dependency tree... > >Reading state information... > >----------ERROR------- > >E: Invalid operation update > >E: Unable to locate package chrony > >grep: /etc/chrony/chrony.conf: No such file or directory > >cat: /etc/chrony/chrony.conf: No such file or directory > >mv: cannot stat '/etc/chrony/chrony.conf': No such file or directory > >mv: cannot stat '/tmp/chrony-new.conf': No such file or directory > >chown: cannot access '/etc/chrony/chrony.conf'$'\r': No such file or directory > >sudo: /etc/init.d/chrony: command not found > >failed to run commands: exit status 1

 

Trying to avoid doing this by hand on 150+ servers. Help!

 

EDIT: For anyone looking to do this in the future, here is the script I settled on that seems to work as expected. This installs Chrony on Ubuntu via SSM/Systems Manager and uses the link-local address to pull the time from AWS instead of using an external NTP server.

 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 97A80C63C9D8B80B
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y chrony
sleep 5
sh -c 'grep -q -F "server 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst" /etc/chrony/chrony.conf || sudo sed -i "1s/^/server 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst \n/" /etc/chrony/chrony.conf'
