Depends on the maker. The bottles of mine are threaded at the bottom and screw in the base.

Yup, got a Pinecil and compared to the not so much cheaper Parkside iron I had before, there are worlds inbetween. Plus USB C PD3.0 and you can even use drone batteries for on the go repairs.

Got a friend who is a bit of a alien conspiracy nut. Shortly before Moonfall he started with the hollow moon alien base theory (I was laughing tears when I saw the trailer). He said the moon is the only satellite in our solar system that doesn’t rotate and that is proof.

You should have seen his face when I demonstrated with a phone and a bottle of beer that the moon does indeed rotate once every full orbit. It got even better when I explained that one day we will loose the moon cause it very slowly drifts away from us.

I can recommend Heimdall as a quick scratch for that itch. Not big on monitoring, but a great landing page for almost no effort.

I don’t think they asked me to count down either the last time I was put under. But then again I was slightly preoccupied by the ice cold bucket of liquid fire that spread through my veins. Apparently that’s what a small fraction of people experience with the stuff they used. Would have been nice to get a warning tho.

You know what else leaves contrails? Politicians!

Emule flashbacks 🤮

I’ve seen a documentary (i think it was on Arte) with similar numbers. It was about a guy founding an organisation to search for kidnapped city women sold as wifes in the countryside. His own wife was kidnapped and sold… the police never found her (like many others) so he took it in his own hands.

Depends on the quality of the stove. The bad ones regulate like most resistive glass ceramic stoves in on/off pulses, which is fine for ceramic because the thermal capacity smoothes everything. I’ve got a mobile induction plate like that tho and it is absolutely horrible to work with.

My decent quality stove top goes from just hand warm (keep warm function) to the fires of mount doom (power function for boiling water) in 17 silky smooth steps. On top of the pulses there is some power regulation as well (you can hear the coil hum change depending on power).

I’ve got a higher range induction and there are worlds between that and the run of the mill portable induction stove I bought for cooking smelly/smoky stuff outside. So much so that I prefer the 80’s electric hot plate of my mother.

That mobile induction abomination regulates like a microwave: full blast or nothing (in much too long pulses). Cooking on that is a challenge. My stovetop tho goes from just hand warm (keep warm function) to the fires of mount doom in 17 silky smooth steps. I could hardly believe my eyes when it boiled pasta water faster than my electric kettle. As nice as cooking is with that, the biggest advantage is the cleaning…

From what I’ve read the additional capacity that’s currently on the way will come 27-28, tho if the bubble keeps growing that won’t be nearly enough. Further capacity will take even longer…
I just hope that random economist whose name I don’t remember is right and it is just the tp-hoarding-phase. When the panic buying stops and stock can recover somewhat, prices will go down to higher than before but more reasonable level.

You might want to look up “nalgótica” 😉. The reddit post taught me that term.

OMV (NAS OS based on Debian) assigns each drive a UUID and mounts them under that. It takes a bit time to get used to, but already paid off when I had to shuffle around drives and cards cause of an upgrade.

*checks that it’s not an onion article* Oh…
I think it is time to revive: “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”
Glad I decided to never touch 11. Seems almost customary to skip every second Windows version by now. I’m curious to see if it will be just a skip and they get their shit back together by 12. For now, surprisingly, I do not miss Windows one bit.
I still keep 10 around as dual boot for PCVR. Sure, I got it working (mostly) on Bazzite but its by no means trivial and hassle free. Everything else was smooth sailing most of the time. Just the few times I crashed head first into the immutable nature, caused me a bit of a headache.

DMZs on consumer hardware aren’t a good idea either. Recently checked my DSL router out of curiosity after reading a post about it . Seems what consumer hardware often does in a DMZ is dropping the firewall to the outside completely for the affected devices while not isolating the rest of the network from them.

Strongly reminds me of the JJAbrams Klingon redesign.

Yup, bitrot is a thing. Got a few video files from around 2000 only one player can still open and even then there are lots of artifacts. Moving the files periodically helps to reduce risk. Better is to use a file system\software that prevents that. I’m using snapraid on my server now and do regular scrubs.

Now correctly identifies the dropped doritos bag.
Drop the weapon!

Yeah, where is the “but think about the children” crowd when you need it ;).

After getting roped into Black Desert by a friend, I decided to never touch a game with microtransactions again. I had a love and hate relationship with that one. I loved the core of the game and the world, but you can feel every aspect of the game is designed to tug at you to spend money, keep you loging in daily and reward your endorphin system with gambling mechanics.

On top of it you get a pricing system that is outright predatory, with prices designed to milk whales and exploit the fear of missing out in normies. E.g. a single costume for a single character up to 30€ outside of sales and all the default stuff is outright dull and boring in design (endgame armor makes everyone look the same, like you’re wearing a full body shrub suit)
