Lead ain't that dangerous. Just take it out and dispose of it like you do with normal batteries. Clean your hands afterwards and you're dandy. As for the clock, the battery contacts, and whatever they were attached to, are likely eaten away, but I can't say that for certain from this photo. If you're lucky and they're mostly intact, some IPA scrubbing and a dip in vinegar, and a bit more scrubbing, should take most of the crust away. That rust though, probably some vinegar, maybe a deoxidating agent (like navy jelly?) could clean it off. Even cleaning all of it doesn't guarantee that it'll work any way.

As a vaper I support this notion. Disposable vapes should go. Pods with replaceable cartridges and preferably also replaceable batteries (yes, those exist) should take their place. I'm mostly a RBA guy, so my only waste is a bit of cotton, some glycol/glycerin and a bit of wire. Batteries will also need replacing, but not for another few years. Personally I hate pointless waste. Throwing away something that's usable is a sin in my eyes. If you won't use it at least let somebody else use it instead, that includes the perfectly good components in disposables that get thrown away like trash.

AndOTP is no longer maintained. I'd suggest switching to something still supported, like Aegis for example.

Ohh, haven't done that in forever. Now I miss making coffee this way. I guess I'll dust off my pot today, see if it still brews good.

Overtightening screws does that. Plus, transparent plastics tend to be more brittle, so you have to be more careful. Been re-shelling some gameboys and the exact issue cropped up with shells cracking at the screw holes. Guy I follow on youtube recommends screwing them all the way then loosening them a quarter of a turn. Might help lessen the stress.

Dry and then store in a controlled environment. I'm using those bog standard cereal containers from Amazon (3,7-4l container should do for 1kg spools). Add some desiccant, spool rollers and a hygrometer and you have yourself a semi-permanent home for your spools. Mine show somewhere between 10% and 15% humidity, so that's pretty good considering that previously just leaving a spool in open air for a single longer print caused it to soak enough moisture to ooze and string by the end of the print, and that's in "only" over 40% humidity. So yeah, highly recommended.

I did just that a while ago. Seeing on my server what you've been seeing in yours I've just turned it off for a day or so, and when I turned it on just to be sure that I have to scrap it and start again, it started working just fine. So, I'd say, let it be, let it rest, come back to it later. Or I dunno, maybe it was just a fluke.

I tried liking KF2 but it just lacks the crispness and the atmosphere of KF1. I also missed the shop lady with her opening shop in the weirdest locations in between rounds. So yeah, KF2 lacks charm IMO and I still like KF1 more even on its aging UE2.5 engine. I don't think KF3 will find my interest, with all the multiplayer games going "live service" and all.

Had to come back home from work. I guess calling it "intense" would be appropriate. I've missed the coffee fountain, the bubbles and the thick black coffee that this method produces. What I don't miss is the waiting and watching, cause it won't turn itself off when it's done, and the eventual hassle of cleaning the pot and all its parts every time I want a coffee. Oh well, nature of the beast I guess. Still, worth going through it when one craves a strong cup of coffee.

This may help: Container compatibility. MKV files will be remuxed when played via WebUI. Try playing an MP4 file and see if it's the same.

Since I've started automating stuff I've got myself an Acurite wireless fridge and freezer thermometer (initially found out about it on Reddit, before it all went to shit and all). It both has a nice magnetic display and it transmits in 433MHz band, so a SDR dongle plugged into my Home Assistant machine can receive the temp readouts. So far it didn't prevent any disasters, but at least I know how hot it needs to get for the fridge to start having trouble keeping cool.

Just MusicBrainz and a general music folder. I either use a SMB share or Navidrome to listen to my library, depending what's most convenient. I've noticed that Lidarr generates huge traffic spikes when it fetches album info, rate limiting it on my Pi Hole, so I've stopped using it. I don't like the idea of automating downloading music anyway, I prefer to listen to it first then download if I like it.

PS5 Pro is going for 800 EUR so I've picked these parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BnpTsh, and it's almost spot on how much it costs after converting it into USD. (800 EUR = 881.83 USD)

So, "flies" from The Invincible? Microbots that pretty much conquered a planet, making it impossible for all life to exist on the planet's surface. There was no "obeying" them, only dying or leaving.

Dude that wrote that (in 1964 no less) must've been a time traveler. Computers back then barely started being miniaturized, there were no home PCs, no smartphones or actual nano tech to speak of. Only recently we've started building microbots and nano scale mechanisms.

Manual grinders aren't bad, unless you go for the cheap ones. For example, my Comandante grinder has a steel conical burr, but most of the cheaper ones come with ceramic. The thing is, the thing's sharp, I could actually cut myself if I wasn't careful during cleaning, opposed to the ceramic burrs that are pretty blunt (from what I've heard, never had one). That makes grinding coffee a breeze (maybe 20-30secs for ~13grams for a cup of coffee), even on finer settings, also it introduces less dust, as it doesn't crush the beans but cuts them into fine bits. There are many models of manual grinders that come with great burrs, some of are of the Chinese make if price is an issue (1zpresso for example).

Flat burrs are an electric grinder thing. The mechanics of grinding with those is a little different than with conical ones, but the result is pretty much the same. Electric grinders can come with both conical or flat burrs. I've got an absolute overkill of a grinder meant for commercial use, bought used for around $300. The thing is a beast, takes less than 5secs for ~20g of coffee. I wouldn't suggest you get one (Mazzer Super Jolly FYI), just because of its size, but anything with that kind of build quality is likely gonna last you a literal lifetime. There are some more reasonably sized consumer electric grinders though, I heard Wilfa Svart is decent, some other might be fine as well.

Had to replace my UPS battery just a few days ago after a power outage reminded me that a replacement was well overdue. I share your feeling, now I can sleep knowing a power blip won't knock out my servers and mess up my data.

I'm thinking about getting some of those activated alumina beads. I've heard they are both more efficient at absorbing moisture and can be recycled indefinitely without degrading. Sounds like a perfect fit for your setup.

Same, my 3tz takes 18 grams. Also taking it off is kinda tricky cause of thermal inertia. Pot is still hot enough to boil the water after taking it off the heat, but that might be due to its higher mass. Anyway, experiment, making coffee is fun.

Mind you that PICTRS__API_KEY is the wrong variable, and should be PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY. I've noticed it when Lemmy Thumbnail Cleaner complained about the api key being incorrect. Follow the repo page and check if your variables are correct.

Yep. While mods them self don't cost nothing, in general I'd say (compared to what a cigarette smoker would spend) this activity is relatively cheap. Biggest cost for me is flavoring and nicotine. The rest is negligible.
