Tiny tiny bug, like a speck, but almost worm like?

Hello,

Sorry, I am still trying to get picture if this bug I've been seeing in my vehicle. (Partially converted school bus)

Sidebar said arthropod, web search said exoskeleton, which this doesn't seem to have, but it's so small I can barely see it unless it's right in my line of sight and I just stare.

If there is any better place to ask for help for ID please let me know. Really sorry to bungle coming here if it's not appropriate.

I will be posting a picture as soon as I can find one of them again. I lost it as soon as I grabbed my phone.

I've seen them around some boards I brought in, and some small brush debri around the entrance.

Is there any possible bug that could be a serious issue which matches this description at some stage of it's life? Could I need to tear everything down and treat the space for anything which might match this?

They disappear for a little while if I spray some essential oils like geranium, lemongrass, and maybe cedar (forgot everything I hastily put in this mix).

Sorry again if this is just a bad post or the wrong place.

I'm heading out to get some diatomaceous earth today, hopefully that does something. (I have ants right now as well, so that might be helped by that at least).

Thank you for any direction or advice you might be able to provide.

I'll update soon.

Edit: Realize you probably need an area. Washington State, USA.

Edit: Grain or Flour moth larvae? Is there a stage where these are almost imperceptibly small? Do these fit the above description at all? Sorry for this mystery quest.

Edit: I added a photo of a bug I found while sifting a bag of mass harina I had (right near where I first saw the original worm like bugs). Though, I had already moved this out of the area and into a garage with a load of other items during the initial investigation. So, can't be sure exactly where this came from. Maybe a silverfish?

Pixel 6a Rugged Case

Hello,

I have been gifted a Pixel 6a, and clumsy as I am, I have already dropped it numerous times, or it fell from somewhere I placed it.

I am hoping to find a really good rugged case for the phone, but my go to for previous phones was the Otterbox Defender series, which I couldn't find for sale anymore. (Old phone, so I can understand that)

Are there any suggestions for reliable and incredibly drop safe cases available for the 6a still? Like, insanely drop safe as somehow I seem to have a bump or fall at least once a day. I'm so lost with all these random brands and have no idea what's reliable with them. And it really doesn't matter what it looks like. I'd take silicone wrapped in stone if it kept me from ruining my phone.

Any direction or advice is highly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.

'Brandani' Gooseneck Kettle?

Hello!

Does anyone happen to know anything about this 'Brandani' branded gooseneck kettle? I'm hoping to find any original information about it and also to find out if it is stainless steel or some mixture with aluminum.

I've failed so far at finding anything online about it.

For context, it took me a few hours of nonconsecutive research to learn the term 'gooseneck'. So, I'm not the most learned person on the topic.

Any direction or advice is very highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post!

Update one at a time w/ 'update'/'upgrade'

Hello,

I am using Fedora, but have a temperamental internet connection at home. Updating can be difficult because large downloads are slow and tend to reach timeouts most of the time.

Is there a way to have my system download one update from the list at a time instead of multiple?

This might at least help prevent me needing to retry upwards of 4-5 times hoping it all eventually succeeds within the timeout and failure limits it seems to have.

I did check online a bit and the manual for dnf, but web searching seems to bring up "updating a single package" not iterating through the available updates to baby my horrible internet. And the manual didn't seem to mention anything regarding this.

Hoping there is something.

Thank you very much for any suggestions or guidance.
