@SuperSelena64 Nice - never been able to do that without lifting at least 1 pad

Oh my dog, this is hilarious. I visited a store selling 18V Bosch cordless tools. Bosch 18 V 2.5 Ah battery / €69Compatible All Alliance 18 V 2.5 Ah battery / €39 Out of curiosity and out of my general cheapness I went with a compatible one.Little did I know that when opening the generic brand package I would end up holding a Bosch branded 2.5 Ah battery. There might be somekind of warranty/registering differences*, but basicly the branded Bosch cardboard package is evidently worth 30 euros. Oh my word, I need a drink or at least a Dr Pepper. *I care too little to look into it.#CordlessTools #tools #PowerTools #DIY

After painters tape, unpeel and stick that shit on some paper, then cut out your fabric. Add a separating zipper and done! Is it perfect? No! Did it make my headphones usable again in 20 minutes for no money? YES!!!Now to make matching ear covers.#sewing #headphones #fixed #diy

@xeno I am curious how many volts/turn your transformer is.

@elaterite right there with ya man.

Another lovely day here so I put a new handle on an old kitchen knife. The plastic handle came off ages (I mean years!) ago, but now it has a nice oak handle. Not perfect, but that’s ok. It just needed to be functional.#repair #diy #woodworking

Got fed up with the dishwasher leaving a thin film of nastiness on everything, so I took it apart to see what the problem was. I found something worthy of the X Files inside. It’s gone now, thank Thor, but it will haunt my dreams. #biohazard #slime #bacteria #gelatinous #diy #deepclean #dishwashers

Has anyone here used infrared headphones?(like the kind used by some TVs/car stereos)Or have any schematics/plans/references? I'm trying to build or acquire a pair (transmitter and receiver), I think I can use a microcontroller for transmit but i don't think that will cut it for receiving the (supposedly) FM signal.

@romaintb This one is close, at 80%. https://uhk.io/uhk80

Also, for the rest of the house I'm doing floors, skirting, adding sockets, etc, so it's not just painting. It'll be a while before I'd finish it off, not just a month or two so I'd think by the end of that I'd know for sure what will crack and peel in here. Anyone with #painting or #decorating experience have any insight?

Is it actually better to make it yourself, or is the convenience of buying worth the cost? ️I'm excited to start Series 2 of my Substack, Make vs Buy. This time, I'm moving beyond websites to look at the pillars of domestic life: meals, clothing, and furniture. I'll also be looking at how emerging tech like 3D printing is reshaping the calculus for modern makers.Read more here: https://makevbuy.substack.com/p/the-make-vs-buy-dilemma#MakeVsBuy #Makers #Substack #DIY #3DPrinting #SelfSufficiency

in other news I have to update all my pension paperwork #adulting #thissucks #booooooo

Just finished the first coat of paint in my office. Went outside to get some fresh air. Came back in and there's a fly stuck in it.EVERY. DAMN. TIME.#DIY

@book I'd go for either of the vanillas myself, though maybe even a bit more orangy for me.

@lx242 Hier mal ein erster Eindruck, wie man so was wie eine Tür baut. Macht einfach Spass da zuzuschauen https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=C6A3TEj5TnY

@adangerbartels I used to have all my machines on static addresses and only firewalled on the machines themselves.The worst that happened was I stupidly installed Windows 2000 and didn't install SP4 quick enough, and it became a spam relay for a few hours Nowadays my router is an old server running OPNsense, which has some firewall rules, and everything else is on a DMZ with 1:1 static NATs (annoyingly - my ISP won't give me a proper subnet).Because most of my servers run web servers, I run a script that searches the logs for obvious script-kiddie type stuff (eg requests for "../../", "/admin" (when I don't have an admin page etc).The unique addresses get stored in a text file which is web-accessible, and then OPNsense picks up these files from each web server every few minutes and adds them to a block list, so all my devices are protected.Atm, most of my servers have picked up a few hundred IPs, but right now, my Mastodon server has flagged 24k, erk!! I'd better check that out now .I also download the @stratosphere blocklists daily, and I have manually blocked some IPs (like Metas IPv4 and IPv6 scanners).So far so good, I have been doing this for over 3 years, and I have been fine.I used to expose SSH to the internet, but not any more - I just use Wireguard (which is built into OPNsense) first before I connect to any admin interfaces using the internal addresses.If you wanted to try doing a security scan, you could try this: https://openvas.org/I've not used it for a while, but it was good, and the free version was enough for me to check for "low-hanging fruit".I hope that helps. Feel free to ask me questions

@tj Without knowing what size joysticks you're using, I suspect translation and rotation are slightly too close for comfort, at least for two-hand operation. Throttle to the middle, stage and translation a bit to the left?
