Trying to restore a swede jacket that belonged to my friends husband.Ordered a special brush from amazon. Seems really stiff like it's going to need a really good brushing.Question: The guides online say use vinegar and water to remove stains. What if I put it in the wash with a bunch of vinegar? The whole thing is pretty run down.
>>2790775peak swedish
Bump. Any advice? Got a brush in the mail and some vinegar. I take it from the apparent stiffness of the brush that you've gotta go pretty hard all over?
Vinegar worked well. Just got the brush in the mail but it doesn't seem to really do anything.

>>2791610>air>fuel>sparkAir is pretty easy. Check if you have spark, throw a fresh plug in there for the hell of it if you want. If no spark, go through all the ignition components and wiring and get that working. Then try running her on starter fluid. If the starter fluid works, time to diagnose faulty fuel delivery.
- you can collect your own water- you can grow your own food- you can produce your own energySo why are internet contracts necessary? You can tune into radio for free so how come there's no antenna device that pulls free internet from the air in a similar manner?
>>2791133You can either get with a netgear or other mofi router that will accept a sim, and run an external antenna up a mast,or do like i said: amplifier, comes with a directional antenna for outside and a panel antenna for indoors. put your tetherphone in front of the panel, usb tether it to the r6350 running openwrt. The Smartphone USB tethering guide is quite good, I wrote quite a bit of it (and then it was edited etc so a couple of people worked on it), for openwrt, and dd-wrt.firewall:nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname usb0 ip ttl set 65nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname usb0 ip6 hoplimit set 65#for USB tethering, OR:nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname wan ip ttl set 65nft add rule inet fw4 mangle_forward oifname wan ip6 hoplimit set 65#for regular WAN ethernet uplinkIt's a little tricky at the very beginning, because your R6350 after you flash it, will need a normal upstream internet connection through the usual blue WAN port. You'll see in the wiki there are some commands to retrieve additional USB modules after flashing; the router is going to try to pull those directly from it's upstream internet.

My parents pulled out an old tree in the back corner of our backyard, and got someone to build a (shittly constructed) shed on a cement pad. The back of our yard was always low and usually had a little water after a heavy rain, but now the puddles have grown, and they stay for a few days afterwards. Would this be a good place to build a garden, or would too much water kill the plants? Would a raised garden bed help keep the plants healthy, and how high would I need to raise it? Or what crops could I plant which can thrive in wet soil? Im in an area with very good soil, with little clay, but im in the northeast, so winters are cold. I have a small garden, but im kinda clueless as to what crops grow best in wet soil.

I want to implement an error detecting and correcting system to keep my data perpetually.I would need it to work through the deaths of individual drive, and I should be able to varry the amount of redundancyIt would also be great to know where there is already error correction in my dataDo y'all know any good resources, programs, etc?Thanks
I guess OP accidentally left SQTDDTOT out, but that's fine. I bought some GE silicone sealant in the caulk tube format a year or two ago, and just got around to using it. It seemed a bit runny but otherwise ok. Now, several days later, it's as gooey and runny as it was the first day. I did my entire bathroom, so please tell me it's going to cure eventually and I don't have to clean it all up. THANKS!
>>2791587>I would need it to work through the deaths of individual drive, and I should be able to varry the amount of redundancyWhat you want is a RAID array on a NAS. Depending on your needs and cost restraints you will need to pick a raid level (see picrel)Raid is only one part of keeping data perpetually, and should follow a 3-2-1 backup plan:3 copies of your data2 Different storage media (HD + Disc, HD + Tape, HD + SSD, etc)1 copy off-prem (Stored in separate physical location to avoid catastrophe like fires or floodsError correction is built into plenty of filetypes, but data should probably be re-written every 2-3 years on a hard drive to meet industry best-practices. there are drive cloning tools you can use to do this (I use Clonezilla). Obviously you need two disks if you are using cloning to rewrite your data periodically. IMO, many people have had data on hard drives for decades, but your risk tolerance is up to you. If you are okay with your data being non-ready you could always archive them with 7zip or winRAR. The compression algorithms have built in error correction on decompression, but obviously if you want to use the files you would need to decompress it. I hope that helps. People love to scream that physical media is dead, but if you're looking for long term storage and don't mind paying a bit, you can always get a used LTO5 drive and write 1.5tb per tape. Those data tapes are still used for a reason- if stored well and kept in a controlled environment, they will last 30+ years. Biggest problem with tape is that the read/write hardware is often hundreds and hundreds of dollars, even used. Let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything. this might be a better question for >>>/g/

I had to replace the compressor on this thing after 6 years, would like to extend the life of this one. The thing switches it on and off too quickly, under 5 minutes, I've heard this is bad for the compressor, you should wait around 10-15 minutes after turning it off to turn it back on again. It switches that quick because I have a window open and an exhaust fan running 24x7 for important reasons. It still cools down the room very well. How can I change it's logic and set a minimum time before the compressor kicks in?
I've never seen a modern inverter mini-split actually turn off its compressor under normal usage, unless you manually change the set temperature. They usually start at high speed, ramp down a bit while cooling/heating and then once the temperature setpoint comes close start slowing down the compressor gradually, until they reach equilibrium, after which point they maintain that very slow speed.Non-inverter ACs are either 20 years old or US windows/central air units.
>>2791332Any minisplit that isnt an inverter, ie using a contactor, is not a real ac. Its real chinkshit. If op is so concerned about his conpressor he should get a brand with something to stand behind.
>>2791326I'm only going to wire it up so that it disconnects the signal wire to the main contactor running the compressor. No way this little shit can handle anything close to 10A.
>>2789714Check your thermostat.
>>2789714>It switches that quick because I have a window open and an exhaust fan running 24x7 for important reasons. It still cools down the room very well.well, theres your problem retard... its detecting a change in temperature and turning the compressor on... its doing exactly what it was designed to do. they dont design these so retarded idiots can just leave windows open and expect it to KEEP the room cool.I bet you have the window open and exhaust fan cause you smokin weed all day or growing the shit. fuck you, dont blame the appliance for not working properly when you are the cause of it.

I have a blued steel screw that I cannot source a replacement for that the first 2/3's of was stripped, the application is relatively low torque and isn't anything crucial, but it only barely engages and if you try to tighten it, it just disengages from the threads without causing damage.I dont' have a lathe to attempt to make a new screw, and it is not so simple to just be able to make it out some bar stock that's the correct OD and peaning a head to it or something janky like that. It could be welded, but it would still present the issue of the new material being very hard to machine without a lathe and tap. Brazing obviously would be more favorable to machine, but I do not have oxy to melt brass. Would it be viable to attempt to use a propane torch and use solder to build up the threads in order to retap them? Threadlocker, copper wire or teflon tape wouldn't be an appropriate fix due to it being need to be removable.
>>2791271Thread files are a thing but you still the problem of strength and getting more material on there
>>2791368K, that’s more thread gore than I was expecting. Zinc plating won’t do it.Easier to fabricate a whole new screw out of a nail.
>>2791397I tried peening the threads with an auto punch but obviously that didn't bring them up enough.I said fuck it and tried to tap the other part with the metric tap that seemed closest in size, initially it seemed smooth, but it did end up taking out some chips. After fully tapping it, it really didn't look like it was cross threaded or that it was the wrong pitch like what might happen if you accidentally tap with two different pitches or a metric and a SAE. I suppose the screw could've damaged it somehow or maybe left some of the stripped material in the threads. It's a through hole, so I threaded the screw in from the other side since it it's not crossing a gap, and perhaps it might be a hair loose, it felt about the same as it did prior to taping, so I'm just going to operate off it being a m4x.7. I really can't see how the original screw could've been damaged like that given the condition of both the head, and the part it was threaded into wouldn't indicate being gorilla nigger retarded like that.
>>2791271
>>2791271I had a similar problem on a bike once. Ended up putting metal epoxy (premade stuff that's basically metal powder in epoxy resin) into the female threads, then greasing and "screwing" the stripped screw into it. Left it to harden, unscrewed it and the thread was pretty much fixed.That was on a rearviewmirror though. Not sure how well this method would hold up to actual loads.
Hello /diy/ quick question: why not put your meat birds in a cone upside down and decapitate them with like a cigar cutter mechanism? Why bleed the animal out while it's brain is attached and it panic when I could depart it's brain from body and bleed it's body anyway? Heck I could fill a bucket with warm water and clove oil and toothache herb to Chuck the head in so it doesn't feel the passing seconds of residual brain signal. Unrelated garden picture.
>>2791386Is lead exposure a concern? Bullet cost, surely all that kickback would be uncomfortable.
>>2791569Valid questions>lead exposurePresumably i will contaminate the neck, guess i'll end up chopping that off and wasting it. But, all their blood will be flowing out through that hole, so thats the only other thing that should be ruined, and i didnt plan on drinking their blood anyway.>Bullet costI am hoping the satisfaction of granting them an instant death outwieghs that. Aswell its only a fraction of the cost of buying or raising a chicken, and i could easily blow so much more money by just going out shooting recreationally for an hour, shooting guns is fun.>kickbackI have wanted an excuse to pickup a smaller gauge shotgun. Currently only have a 12ga, but i do want a 20ga, which should work just aswell, but regardless, again, shooting guns is fun.
>>2791580Lead will remain in the soil, and to be honest will with repeat shot contamination of the cone and tree or whatever it's on with microparticles rather lead dust. And at close range you yourself will be covered in lead dust.
>>2791585I shoot guns in my yard anyways
>>2791585To add;I wont be handling/processing the chickens, while covered in lead dust, as thats not my job. My brother is the butcher, i am just the executioner.

I got one of those chinese hydraulic hand crimpers after borrowing the boss's 3 or 4 times. Turns out it can also crimp ferrules for wire rope and I found a need for those for the first time less than a week after purchasing it.Also got a vintage ottonawa hollow punch set on order.
>>2791421Except those Gearwrench 84T ratchets are actually really good for the money.
>>2791471It’s actually just an apex ratchet so Kobalt, husky, Gearwrench, are all he same Also sold as Quinn by harbor freight
>>2791421Brother I don't spend money on expensive ratchets. I don't make money with my tools, I save money with them, so when my $10 HF chinkslop ratchet gets the job done for years despite all the abuse I give it, I don't see much of a reason to blow 20x that amount on a "good" ratchet. The long handle flex head has been a real soldier too, $25 with a coupon and I've been trying to break it for years without any luck. The gearwrench set was a conveniently priced expansion to my ratchet drawer so I have a larger variety of handle lengths now, I wouldn't have bothered if they weren't heavily discounted

Does anyone know of a fair priced powerstation that can run one of those portable tent A/C units or a swamp cooler? It's got to be expandable and last at least 7 hours. I'd like to DIY a whole solar powerstation rig at some point... it's just... what fucking powerstation do I get
What about this chart, bros?
>>2787879Solar generator / power bank buying guide:1) Brand:--Most power banks are made in China, even the American-sounding brands--Lots of new companies/brands are coming out every year--Established brands like bluetti, ecoflow, and jackery charge high premiums but usually don't offer better performance. You're mainly paying for the lower risk of buying a junk product--Sometimes a brand new company will sell junk at a discount price, and just reopen with a different name once word gets out--To avoid overpaying and avoid buying junk, get a power bank that has been reviewed by an independent expert who reviews multiple brands. A person who only reviews one brand could be a shill--here are two comparison guides by such reviewers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1awHqs-0xKGT2xFsYSDaJ9ld7PRqCpeeVTQ_rt6bPxXghttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BZLY89iHF94vO2enPln7_HjlH-_IkgSbCfh3ofZ1h0c2) Price:--Prices are dropping every year (even with inflation)--A few years ago, $1.00 per watt-hour was a fair price. Currently, $0.40 per watt-hour is a fair priceComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>27915423) Battery chemistry--LiFePO4 is the current industry leader in terms of number of charge cycles and safety--Lithium ion (Li-ion) and nickel manganese cobolt (NMC) are cheaper but significantly worse in terms of durability, and could be unsafe in certain conditions--There is variation even within LiFePO4 batteries. Some are rated for 2000 cycles, others are rated for 4500 cycles--The actual number of cycles is difficult for independent reviewers to verify, so don't pay a big premium for a LiFePO4 battery advertising 4500 cycles because it could be a false claim that will take years to refute. Moreover, even if a battery lasts 4500 cycles, that's over 10 years of daily use, and there will likely be significantly better and cheaper batteries available sooner than that.4) Technical specs--Watts is a measure of how much power can be drawn from the power bank simultaneously at one time--Watt-hours is a measure of how much power the battery can store--Usually the Watts and Watt-hours of a power bank are roughly the same, meaning it can work for about one hour at maximum power--Some appliances draw a lot of power for a fraction of a second when starting up, and then reduce their power intake. Many power banks can accommodate such a brief spike even if they can't sustain it for a long time (continuous AC output vs max AC output).--Some power banks are expandable with a separate battery module that adds Watt-hours but does not change the Watts.--The efficiency of the AC inverter is normally around 85%. Thus, the advertised capacity of watt-hours should be multiplied by 0.85 to get the actual capacity
>>27915435) Additional features-fast charging (how quickly can the power bank recharge)-pass through charging (can the power bank recharge and discharge at the same time)-uninterruptible power supply mode (can the power bank start discharging immediately when power to it is cut off)-noise of inverter (how loud the fan is when the power bank is being used)-app connectivity (can the power bank be connected to an app and controlled remotely)-auto shutoff mode (keeping the power bank on drains a small amount of power. Does the power bank shut itself off automatically after some time to conserve power)Same considerations in points 1) and 2) apply to solar panels, with the additional caveat that if you're going to buy multiple panels or expand your array in the future, it's best to get all panels from the same brand
>>2791545All that said, if you want a specific brand recommendation, I recommend Oupes. They're relatively cheap compared to popular brands but have good specs, have been around for a while, and have a growing selection of products. I've personally owned and a couple of their power banks for over a year with daily use and they work great so far.
