Lead ain't that dangerous. Just take it out and dispose of it like you do with normal batteries. Clean your hands afterwards and you're dandy. As for the clock, the battery contacts, and whatever they were attached to, are likely eaten away, but I can't say that for certain from this photo. If you're lucky and they're mostly intact, some IPA scrubbing and a dip in vinegar, and a bit more scrubbing, should take most of the crust away. That rust though, probably some vinegar, maybe a deoxidating agent (like navy jelly?) could clean it off. Even cleaning all of it doesn't guarantee that it'll work any way.

As a vaper I support this notion. Disposable vapes should go. Pods with replaceable cartridges and preferably also replaceable batteries (yes, those exist) should take their place. I'm mostly a RBA guy, so my only waste is a bit of cotton, some glycol/glycerin and a bit of wire. Batteries will also need replacing, but not for another few years. Personally I hate pointless waste. Throwing away something that's usable is a sin in my eyes. If you won't use it at least let somebody else use it instead, that includes the perfectly good components in disposables that get thrown away like trash.

AndOTP is no longer maintained. I'd suggest switching to something still supported, like Aegis for example.

I tried liking KF2 but it just lacks the crispness and the atmosphere of KF1. I also missed the shop lady with her opening shop in the weirdest locations in between rounds. So yeah, KF2 lacks charm IMO and I still like KF1 more even on its aging UE2.5 engine. I don't think KF3 will find my interest, with all the multiplayer games going "live service" and all.

There's a freeware (open source but copyrighted art) shooter called World of Padman, that's pretty much what you're describing.

EDIT: You wanted "modern" but, it's slightly less so. Sorry.

Ironically Nitter stopped working lately, since Twitter started requiring users to be logged in to read anything.

This may help: Container compatibility. MKV files will be remuxed when played via WebUI. Try playing an MP4 file and see if it's the same.

Just MusicBrainz and a general music folder. I either use a SMB share or Navidrome to listen to my library, depending what's most convenient. I've noticed that Lidarr generates huge traffic spikes when it fetches album info, rate limiting it on my Pi Hole, so I've stopped using it. I don't like the idea of automating downloading music anyway, I prefer to listen to it first then download if I like it.

So, "flies" from The Invincible? Microbots that pretty much conquered a planet, making it impossible for all life to exist on the planet's surface. There was no "obeying" them, only dying or leaving.

Dude that wrote that (in 1964 no less) must've been a time traveler. Computers back then barely started being miniaturized, there were no home PCs, no smartphones or actual nano tech to speak of. Only recently we've started building microbots and nano scale mechanisms.

Had to replace my UPS battery just a few days ago after a power outage reminded me that a replacement was well overdue. I share your feeling, now I can sleep knowing a power blip won't knock out my servers and mess up my data.

I have this issue on my own instance. Neither Jerboa or Liftoff can log in to my main account (no errors or anything), but for some reason my admin account (one that pretty much sees no activity) works just fine. Thunder seems to be the only app aside of the web ui that works. Maybe an 0.18 issue?

Yep. While mods them self don't cost nothing, in general I'd say (compared to what a cigarette smoker would spend) this activity is relatively cheap. Biggest cost for me is flavoring and nicotine. The rest is negligible.

Two that I know of that made decent games is K-D Lab that made Perimeter and Vangers (both open sourced and recently remastered), and Nikita responsible for the Parkan series. They're not by any means greatest hits but they're unique and worth checking out.

EDIT: And oh, Pathologic by Ice-Pick Lodge too, but I haven't played those. Those seem funky and definitely not for everyone.

EDIT2: There's apparently a list of Russian made games on Wikipedia , good to know.

Yea, I had to make a crontab task that resets lemmy every day. Hope it gets fixed in the future but for now it sorta works.

Not the person you've replied to, but I've got a Roborock Q7 Max. It's cheap and relatively simple. It's got a LIDAR and proximity sensors, but no obstacle avoidance or stair/cliff detection and no camera. From what I can see it's also silent (no network activity) even though it's bound to my WiFi. After months of using it I'd say its been a great choice to splurge on. Never had one, never thought I'd need one, but after seeing dust settling on every bit of the floor every day... I got tired of sweeping.

I hear you. There's always Valetudo. Get yourself a supported vacuum and install Valetudo whenever you feel the need. Had my robot for half a year but haven't come around to doing it just yet. Maybe after its warranty runs out.

Exactly this. You'd be surprised how much dust it can collect. After a week or two in my small home it can easily collect a fistful of dust, and that's just from me alone.

That's not gold, it's just a heat sheet.

I've never self hosted, started maybe two years ago. First I've started with a Raspberry Pi 3, but quickly decided that 1GB of ram, and limited power was not enough for my needs. I've got myself a Dell OptiPlex SFF (used), it came with 16GBs of ram, then I've added a 4TB HDD. I'd say, this is an "entry" piece of hardware, as it's cheap and sips power (around 15-20W at idle). If you don't need the disk space or much power, go with a micro (whichever manufacturer you chose, HP, Dell, IBM), they're cute little boxes that make a RasPi seem both underpowered and overpriced (for a used one anyway).

If you're running it in docker you can just check the logs, I do it like this: docker compose logs -f lemmy, and see if you have requests from any instance in the log stream. For me it goes pretty fast, but you can always ctrl+c to exit and scroll up to see what you've missed. Might not be the most optimal way, but it works for me.

I've got a whole 0.5kg bag of coffee for that much in Germany, and that'll last me almost a month (~25 cups). What's so good about Starbucks that it costs as much per cup?
