- Comment on Question about flip cap bottles on mastodon, do you have any suggestions where to get them? 22 hours ago:
The kit would probably have to be used with a certain style of bottle, since if that collar slides up too far you aren’t going to get a seal. So the flared end on the bottle would need to be a measured amount or there will be too little or too much tension on the cap when it’s flipped.
- Comment on Bottling that vaporlock blowing batch of Grand Cru 1 day ago:
Grolsch bottles were pretty nice as well, had a few hundred of them before I moved to corny kegs. I had a bottle depot near me that I’d pay slightly more than he could get from the distributors so he’d call me when he had a few dozen. I think when I sold them, I made a profit.
- Comment on Will solar panels overrun farmland? The two are more likely to coexist. 3 days ago:
They’re not more efficient than south facing bifacials put at the correct azimuth for the season, but they will spike at what is usually the high demand periods. Additionally, they’re less likely to collect snow.
Source: I run 50+ bifacials and use both mount styles, so I have about a year of experience in watching them.
The “Projects with everyday Dave” has a bunch of videos on the difference that’s way more scientific than my back of the envelope calcs.

Yah, that’s a “we’re going down the waterfall, strap in” email.

Well, if you can convert energy to matter, you can convert matter to energy. So garbage in, Earl Gray out.
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content 3 weeks ago:
I have to filter out all the 4K feeds I get on Kodi because I can’t play them. I sure haven’t seen a shortage of them. Now whether they play at an actual 4K would be the question, but they’ve been there for years.
- Comment on FUTO just made a 14hrs long video introduction to Selfhosting! (plus a written version) 💾 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been self-hosting email for so long, I’m pretty sure my original domain (25 years) lends it’s respectability to new domains I host at the same address. The hell of it is I host on a resi IP address and have never had a single blacklist event. I don’t even know how that’s possible other than the fact that I’ve done it for so long with no incidents that I think I’m on a whitelist or something.

I get how momentum keeps you on a path, and he admits that he’d rather use OPNsense in the wiki, but dammit, now he’s got a bunch of other people going down the same pfSense road to the rugpull.
- Comment on How is everyone doing with their home improvements? 3 weeks ago:
Shitty. I moved an old farmhouse to a new site last spring, dug in sewer tank, pump out, and cistern, and never got to doing anything on it until recently. I have a seacan full of materials but didn’t get the house insulated before winter hit, so I can only work when it isn’t bitterly cold out and I have some time.
We’re getting a couple weeks coming up hovering around freezing, so I might be able to get something useful done. Maybe get some windows in and enclose the crawlspace.

It’s a dog and pony show. I don’t smoke, but I’d definitely laugh at whoever came up with this bullshit.

Agrivoltaics, AKA “shade”.

- Comment on Immersion heaters rock! 2 months ago:
I built a boil kettle from a beer keg with a 3500W hot water tank heater element. TIGged in a NPT bulkhead and the element screws into that. I was rather anal about the live ends on the outside of the kettle getting a liquid-tite connector, and it goes to a GFCI breaker.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer? 2 months ago:
A delta is a tough way to start. I printed a couple delta’s after I built my first printer, and getting them dialed in was a nightmare every time.
Just get an Ender V3 or something like it to get interested in printing again. They’re cheap, they have plenty of accessories and support, and do an acceptable print.

- Comment on About that time 2 months ago:
I’ve only every made beers, but when backsweetening, I assume your yeast won’t ferment straight sugar because it’s poisoned out by the alcohol level? Normally if you backsweeten a beer or cider, you need to use lactose that doesn’t work for fermentation.
- Comment on Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea? 2 months ago:
The only thing the AIO is missing is #5, and you can probably mount an S3 bucket on the docker host and set the environment variable in the docker-compose.yml accordingly.
I’ve used NC for a long time now in virtually every configuration available from bare metal to snap to NCP, the AIO is by far the easiest thing I’ve ever used to set up and maintain Nextcloud. I wouldn’t be climbing into bed with a proprietary oriented company instead. They will eventually fuck over the users, count on it.

Biggest Linux podcast in the world, uses NetBEUI. Yah, there’s that.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 2 months ago:
I laughed my ass off when Chris from LUP said they used Netbeui in their studio. I wouldn’t admit to that, myself.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
These are topcon modules only. Considering a 400W panel will have about 72 modules in it, that’s only about 15 panels worth. Of course, then you have to actually build the panel and connect the modules, put it behind glass inside a frame, then put in a bypass diode and leads for connection. So an actual panel ends up being about 5-10X the cost of the modules per W.
- Comment on New to selfhosting 2 months ago:
Yes. The proxy will have 80 and 443 forwarded from the router. Everything else gets proxied through your reverse so you can set basic auth on anything likely to be a security risk. Generally, you don’t want regular login pages exposed directly, they should be behind basic auth.
- Comment on New to selfhosting 2 months ago:
Don’t expose things to the internet with port forwards. Anything you want to do like that can be done with a reverse proxy or preferably a VPN.
That is all.
