Desiccant packet dehumidifier?
  • I had good results with microwaving a bunch of beads in a microwave safe non-plastic bowl on mid-low.

    It drives out the moisture, and you can see the bead colour indicators change.

    But be careful, they’re hot!

  • What is this device?
  • Looks like one of those recorded message things you find inside greeting cards - the glob of stuff below the black epoxy blob (the ic), looks like a badly corroded button.

    Can try cleaning the button up a bit, or removing it entirely, and bridge the connections beneath it.

  • Testing markdown in code blocks

    Just testing if code blocks containing markdown display correctly.

    Testing non-markdown code:

    ```

    this is just a comment in a code block

    rm -rf / ```

    Testing markdown in a code block:

    Appreciation Post
  • Yeah! It’s thankless work, and not a full time job, so hope it “gets released when it gets released”.

    Just wanna drop in my vote of thanks in supporting Lemmy and wanting to do an app for it 👍

  • Would me self-hosting a personal instance make things worse for everyone else?
  • I’m thinking this would be the case if your instance had more than 1 user subscribed to that community in the large instance - but if it is just you, wouldn’t it be similar to accessing each instance and viewing the communities there?

  • how do you handle large amount of emails for your Lemmy instance ?
  • Not sure if you’re hosting on AWS (if yes, free for the first 62k/month), else the $0.10/1k/month shouldn’t be too bad - https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/

    From my past experience with Sendgrid, it is trash, most of their shared IPs have poor reputation anyways, had lots of issues with them.

    Running your own email server might be a good learning experience, a quick search brought up this all-in-one container solution - https://mailu.io/2.0/

    Messing about with Postfix directly could be a painful experience, but yet another possibility.

    Either way, new IPs will probably take some time to warm up, so don’t expect full deliverability for the first few days/weeks.

    You should check that your cloud provider doesn’t block outgoing smtp traffic - iirc digital ocean and GCP do block.

  • How to add new communities on a less populated instance?
  • The community browser (https://browse.feddit.de/) is your friend here - it can see across most instances, and searches here (rather then directly in the ”search communities” feature in your instance) to find communities.

    Once you got the full identifier (like for this /c it is [email protected]), you can then directly look it up in your instance’s Search)

    Ref: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/01-getting-started.html#following-communities

    I did encounter some times where I searched for a /c that should exist, but some how not findable via my instance though - hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in. (Yup, I did check that my instance federates with the other instance).

    In any case, if you can’t find it in the community browser, feel free to be the one to start it on your instance!

  • SIMBA broadband at $20/ month
  • Wondering how they are delivering the 2.5Gbps - thought most ONTs are still 1Gbps?

    If it is those 1Gbps + 1Gbps type then not much use also.

    Also not sure if getting IPv6 allocation, and more importantly, not CGNAT.

  • Favourite Manual Brewing?
  • I’m mostly following the James Hoffman technique, but some stuff I felt made a difference for me are:

    • rinsing the filter before use - somehow a wet filter finishes faster than an unwashed one
    • pour around the edge of the cone, vs directly in the middle
    • good grind consistency - I’m using a 1zpresso grinder, and the consistency I get now makes the extraction a lot faster.

    In a pinch, if there extraction is too slow with your current set up, try going (a lot) coarser and see if the results taste better

  • Favourite Manual Brewing?
  • Aeropress was my first manual brewing method, and I loved the portability, especially when paired with a small grinder, like the hario mini - I could fit the grinder into the aeropress.

    Got burnt by hot water a few times when using the inverted method though :(

    Recently been using v60 a lot more, produces very clean results for me (less fines unlike the aeropress, especially if using a metal filter).

    If it takes a more then 3 mins for your v60 pourover, can consider a coarse grind methinks.
