Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?
21·2 years agoLearn to take care of yourself, before you take of others.
Is there a specific reason your induction stovetop doesn’t support griddles? The only requirement I could find is that the griddle has to be flush on the surface, similar to a pan. Other then that I couldn’t find any technical barriers.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do I need to separate devices to its own no-internet network and still be able to communicate with within the house and outside? (Diagram provided)English
1·2 years agoAdding to that that you can also easily make a separate WiFi network (tied to a vlan even) for IoT. OpenWRT makes this very easy.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What file formats, technologies, techniques do you think would benefit most people by being more common? Or that people would benefit by being more aware of?
6·2 years agoSome examples of poor compression: cameras, dashcams, security cameras, basically anything that just dumps an image into a stream.

Steamer with 3 baskets that can be stacked. Never had vegetables taste better and making rice is fire and forget.
I use a little dish and a silicone brush. I think whether or not it will clog will depend on the oil a lot.

1·2 years agoIt really depends how you define reliability. SD cards are physically nigh indestructible, but can show failure when overwritten often. Hence for one off backups it’s actually a good alternative. It will start showing problems when used as a medium that often writes and overwrites the same data often.
I would recommend backups on SD cards in an A/B fashion when you want to give a backup to someone else to store safely.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does anyone else harvest the magnets and platters from old drives as a monument to selfhosting history?English
2·2 years agoBack in the day I bought a fridge freezer combo, second hand, no handles. Used to be a built in model. As handles I used two magnets from full height drives, they were ludicrously strong and shaped like a little bit like a handle.
Full height drives were 3.25" high for those who are wondering.
You can read measurements without going to the device itself, instead, you use a phone or similar. This also means that a device doesn’t require a display. Consider an outside thermometer as example. Home automation allows you to draw a little graph giving you a good idea how cold it got. Let’s add another measurement device, say a radon meter. Again, no display needed and you could stick it somewhere less accessible.
You can make home automation as silly or useful as you want it to be.

2·2 years agoCurious, you might want to look into what’s generating your data first. It’s easy to generate data, it’s harder to only keep the data that’s useful.

4·2 years agoConsider running HA in a light weight systemd-nspawn container with minimal debian. No docker, only install the repositories you need. HACS if needed. Run your own database on the side somewhere and let HA use it.
By itself HA is fairly lightweight already.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the best style electrical outlet?
6·2 years agoMy biggest beef with the NA outlets is that they wear out fast, causing plugs to not hold securely. Plugs with round prongs secure a lot better in their socket. Outlets with a shaped/ recessed (non-flat) faceplate also do a much better job at keeping the plug in.
I’m glad I can laugh about it now. The one thing this did do was educate a lot of people about the importance on off-site backups and off-site fail overs.
The humor is in the amount of hoops to jump through to get some basic info out using Powershell. Under Linux one would use a single command or just check what the system exposes in the form of a file.
I have no idea how to do forensics under Windows to be honest. You’d probably have to write something to get to the block layer so it can be dumped and analyzed. Perhaps OP can amuse us how he went about it.



My 2 cents to some of the really good comments already mentioned. 1kg is 2 US lbs +10%. Learn what 10cm is, use that as base for small stuff Learn a stride that’s 1m. 1m is approx 3ft Get a good scale in grams Celcius is linear, Fahrenheit is not. Hence 0 freezing, 100 boiling, 50 is exactly half that amount of energy.
Now if you’re into engineering I’d recommend you grab yourself a caliper and measure some of the common products you can buy. You’ll notice that anything in 16th, 32th or even 64th is a most likely an approximation to a perfect size in mm.
It’s important to realize that the US is the only real producing country in the world using US customary. Relatively speaking there’s very little actual manufacturing being done in true US customary.
