Thank you for reminding me: I have an electric shaver that is perfectly good except the batteries do not hold a charge.
Being able to do this kind of repair will save you money in the long run, as well as keeping stuff out of the waste stream.
I was surprised by the speed increase as well. I assumed that broadband would be the bottleneck, but apparently not.
I have not tried either, but since you point it out, I think I will install the adguard…
It’s not even reinstalled, it’s purpose built for it: https://openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/one
I’ve always thought that kind of router seems cool, but I am more of a portable circular saw kevel woodworker.
Excellent so far. It took me a while to set up, I had to start over from scratch once. They claim it is “brick proof” and I can bear witness. Performance, as I said, is excellent.
Yes, all that. The password manager is not going to do anything for one’s Nintendo Switch, however.
I have a pretty good set of electronics tools. I used to use the flush side cutters. Someone bought me a gift of fancy German nail cutters , they look like the electronics tools, but are curved to do better on nails. No brand markings on them, but they are the best.
I used to have a big plastic tub that I just tossed all the cables into. After a few years, it was literally all one piece; no matter where you pulled, the entire thing would come out. It took 5 minutes of untangling to get anything out. My brother called it an abomination.
I bag each type separately, as you do. I have fewer audio cables, so they are also bagged in the same bin, quarter and eighth inch phone cables separately. No Apple stuff. Extras like DE9 serial and MIDI cables. IEC power cables are in the bin, extension cords coiled, hanging from the basement ceiling.
Owww. You have my sympathy. Have had both, not at the same time. Shingles seems to come and go at random. Gout I’ve been able to control long term by eating less meat, especially seafood, more veggies.
Nice! I like fixing things but have never had the nerve to open up my digital piano.
My two 8 month old, not-quite-kittens anymore have been tag teaming each other going into heat. We have had almost non stop yowling now. We need to wait 2 more weeks for their appointment. It’s a good thing I have earplugs, or would not sleep too well.
Other news, we made them a climbing wall with lots of activities, and they love it. We decided to keep them indoors. I have never done this before, felt pretty bad about it, but they don’t seem to mind too much, and we are determined to keep them from getting too boired.
Have you considered GrapheneOS? Not an open source phone as you say, but it is at least open source software, running on hardware with published specs. It should be capable of everything you want.
If anyone says anything is “a surefire way to make money”, they are looking for a Greater Fool on which to unload their position so they can actually make the money.
Has anyone here used Mox? It looks interesting, but maybe a little immature.
I have been using modoboa, my installation is fine as far as it goes, but coming up a little short technologically these days, and the upgrade path is total replace. If you have or install Docker on your server, there are poste.io and docker-mailsever,which both look good. Running your mailserver in a container or VM is almost essential, for security, and so you can blow it away and start over if you make a mistake.
Running an email server is not necessarily hard, but it is stressful: if you have other users, even family, they will take it for granted when it works, and complain loudly when it does not. Like any server that others use. But, beyond security, I have a certain stubborn geek machismo about it, it’s a level of sysadmin above basic.
That was the first oscilloscope I used a lot. I still have a working one.
I honestly can’t understand why most of the popular social media providers are popular. But, if that’s what it takes, could we not?
Look, the fascists are having a barroom brawl. Pass the popcorn, would you?
Chicken vegetable stir fry. I’ve had the ingredients prepped for a couple days now. It was pretty good.
