Somehow 4chan admins have largely escaped legal consequences for this stuff, and I don’t think it’s just because of sec230.
Not a fan of 4chan, but I do note both their and the pirate bay’s operation scheme.

Sounds like hosting outside the US is a possible solution. Many things to be careful of, regardless.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 5 days ago:
What’s crazy is I’m on the fence about a beeline moto because they have subscription for basic shit like traffic, thinking Garmin would be better.
Welp.

Nah. Fine enough for detail work, but thick enough to handle varying pressure for shading of isometric representations.

Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.

- Comment on Rant! 100GB Log file in Nextcloud. 5 weeks ago:
Ideally yes, but I’ve had to do this regularly for many services developed both in-house and out of house.
Solve problems, and maybe share your work if you like, I think we all appreciate it.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 5 weeks ago:
Your ignorant speech and actions say otherwise. People do care, otherwise you wouldn’t be responding, limp jackass.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 5 weeks ago:
You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.
I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don’t like it here, get out.

Another alternative could be epoxying some beefy metal nuts around the inner perimeter, mostly towards the bottom.

Works a treat.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
Most systems I’ve interacted with used what’s called an ats, automatic transfer switch, to be sure you’re not energizing the grid so one can self support in an emergency.
I’ve never seen a system so far that wouldn’t run isolated, but maybe I’ve been lucky 🤷
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
Sheesh I didn’t know the inverters may not run without a grid reference. Where have you seen that, what a terrible idea!
LOL imagine they skimped on a 555 generating 60Hz when in local mode.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
Shouldn’t be a big change, the transmission system is the same no matter the prime mover.
When fires melted power lines near where I used to live in soCal, SCE would have trucks roll in, dig in new power poles and run the cable. Power restored within about a week, so long as they had stock on transformers.

- Comment on Help identify a terminal type 2 months ago:
These are made by te connectivity, horrendous datasheets, but pretty good products. I’m more a Phoenix man myself but you work with what you’ve got in stock: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/…/5872966
The drawings are found towards the bottom of that page, scroll way down to see “product drawings”.
I don’t think these care about malleability too much, they’ll pinch whatever you can fit into its maw.
Good luck, glad I could help 👍
- Comment on Help identify a terminal type 2 months ago:
Those are 100% spring terminals as the other person mentioned. I use these in my designs, you’ll need to press the orange buttons quite hard as they’re meant to work even in rocketry applications where bolted electrical connections may loosen.
