I used it that way when I did desert hikes. Do food and water caches, mark them as waypoints. I would mark them on my topo too of course. Sure was nice on night hikes to pull out a backlit GPS instead of a topo map.

That archive site gives me a notice of a captcha, but it never completes. This is on mobile.

With LEDs in general the power supply is usually what makes a good one. Bean counters love to save money there because you can design a supply with very few parts, if you add a few more you can have a good supply. A better quality supply will have protection for itself and the lights. LEDs really like to run at their rated voltage, and they hate power spikes.

For lights used outside the IP rating (how water resistant it is) usually needs to be taken with a few grains of salt.

If I wanted something permanent-ish I would talk to people that install it professionally.

While I have done Christmas lighting, I have never done Christmas light fixtures themselves. I do a lot of outdoor lighting for work. For my own personal stuff at home I always make my own power supplies.

That’s some kind of communist talk. In the Land of the Free you are your own man. No nanny state telling you what to do. You have options. You can be rich, you can put all your money into a scam bank, which is de facto sanctioned, (and die when they do a rug pull because you no longer have money for life saving, much less preventative care), or you can die. But this was your choice, and you can have a huge truck (N.B. the bank actually owns the truck, but in 5 years you’ll have it paid off).

In reality I left the US years ago and don’t miss it, I do fear for friends though.

People relied on accounts powered by Synapse for everyday expenses like buying groceries and paying rent, or for saving for major life events like home purchases or surgeries.

Gotta love US healthcare

Duct tape of course

You can harvest the transformers for a couple junk microwaves to make an arc welder.

If you aren’t experienced then pretty much all power supplies, battery backups, and motors should be left to someone else.

I saw someone lose a finger (later reattached) to a washing machine with a jammed tub. It was plugged in and on when they reached underneath it and yanked the belt, their sleeve ducked their hand into the drive wheel.

That said, if it fits your personality it can be both fun and satisfying to learn how to fix stuff. I try to teach anyone who’s interested and asks. Except LG washing machines, those things can fuck right off.

I really enjoy quite a bit of the Guardians coverage. Their staff editorial department is often infuriating to the point I often wonder if they actually work for a different news agency.

I don’t think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

As much as I don’t like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here

Issues on their GitHub Here

And getting more press about privacy related things, and why they’re important is always good to see.

It also let’s you install a fake icon for some normal looking app like Threema. When you tap the app it factory resets the phone.

This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

That’s true.

Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?

Ah thanks, I was unaware. I just have the DivestOS repo enabled in Droid-ify

Mull is working fine for me on 132

I think most of Lemmy acknowled the beauty of Linux

I knew someone would come back with something like this.

You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.

Besides, if you don’t think you’re eating that stuff already then you haven’t looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.

You can put whatever they have infested in the freezer for a few days, then pick them out and transfer the contents to a sealed container.

When I lived in the tropics it was quite normal to have these in flour, grains, dried legumes, dried chillies etc.
