Hair care product
  • You might look into the "curly girl" method, don't worry about the name it's just what it started out being called in the 80-90s. It helps people with any texture besides stick straight hair tame the friz. It's been pretty helpful for me to allow my actual curls out without being a puff ball. There's a community driven Google doc that has the concepts and best products. It wouldn't surprise me if you actually have all wavy hair, many people find that once they stop using products that weigh down hair, their hair texture increases.

    Dozens protest Chevron over 'complicity' in genocide in Gaza.
  • Am I missing something here? The first 4 in your list are petroleum refiners and separately gas stations with the same names. Most gas stations are independently operated businesses under franchise agreements with a particular brand. Yes they are required to use fuel from their own brand. QT is just a convenience store that also sells fuel and isnt in the refining business.

    Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host
  • Worked really well for me, just put in an API key to actual budget and it pulls all the info from simple fin. Only thing that doesn't pull for me it categories of the transactions so you have to manually set them up in actual but it does allow for rules.

    Help Identify This Connector
  • Based on the video from tokopedia, it seems like you might just need a depinning tool. But these look extremely cheap, so buy a spare and pull it apart to figure it out. I doubt you can replace just the gasket and you will probably need to replace the whole connector.

    Hiking boots for occasional use for european guy?
  • Have you looked at microspikes? They go over any shoe and give you way more traction on snow/ice. Hiking boots will still slip on ice.

    How much should I expect to pay to have 40 feet of fence installed?
  • I'm assuming you're in the US, look up the prices for vinyl fence on home Depot or Lowe's website. They have pre build items for that type of fence. I would 2-2.5x your material estimate to account for labor, markup, and misc items that are needed. Removal and haul away of a chain link depends on what it looks like now. All in I would guess $4-5k if there isn't much custom work.

    I would say that if you are physically capable and have the time, fences are pretty easy to DIY with a shovel, level, and drill. there are plenty of resources online showing you how. And make sure to call your local dig safe number.

    SRAM Rival 1 brifter replacement
  • Check out the SRAM compatibility charts here: https://www.sram.com/en/service/manuals--documents/compatability-map?filters=brand|SRAM&showRecent=false&page=1

    Find your derailleur model and find compatible shifters then make sure the shifters are mechanical brake compatible. You can probably find the model numbers somewhere on the parts. I don't know about SRAM but Shimano only puts numbers on some things so might be a little hard.

    Question about drive capacity for WD PR4100
    1. Looks like that NAS was originally sold with up to 40tb capacity so it shouldn't have any issues with larger drives. Seems like the "my cloud os" is based on Linux so unless WD built in some weird limit, it should work with 20tb drives.

    2. I don't have an answer here, never had to rebuild an array. You might be able to use clonezilla which can do a block by block copy of disks and then expand the volume in the OS if it supports it. This is just conjecture, I've never done it with a raid array.

    Elon Musk steps up political giving with six-figure donation to House Republicans
  • Just speculating here but it could be a joint fundraising committee donation. Basically allows a contribution to one entity to be distributed to many political entities. So the contribution limit would still apply but you can contribute to all people/pacs/parties associated with that committee. Doing some terrible calculations that would amount to like 1.7m if you maxed out contributions to every general election candidate ($3300 x 538) and excluding parties/pacs.

    Jellyfin newbie
  • It's in perpetual beta and is free as long as you don't want to run multiple copies at a time. I had so many DVDs to rip I bought a license. It can also rip UHD Blu-rays if you have the correct drive. Not sure why it would say it's too old, are your date settings in windows correct? The forum is filled with people doing exactly what you describe and is a great resource. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579

  • MakeMKV is pretty much the standard for ripping Blu-rays. You can then use handbrake to reencode to something more efficient.

    Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners?
  • Since you are in Germany, buy a sebo. Great power and supposedly inexpensive since they are made in Germany. Some of them come with 10 year warranties and replacement parts are readily available.

    Also if you want repairability, do not buy a Shark. They have 900 models and getting replacement parts can be extremely hard because they don't make the same model for very long. Dyson is slightly better in that regard but not much.

  • I think this fits the rules but If this doesnt let me know and I'll delete. Hey all, Overall problem statement: I'm looking for a small device (SBC if available) that I can use as a tail scale access point for travel and I'm hoping someone has done something similar. Basically I would like to have something small enough that I can toss in my travel bag that I can hook into a hotel network and have access to my home services (mainly jellyfin) on my kindle/work laptop. Not all of my devices support VPN or tailscale and having them already on a known network with built in VPN makes it 10x easier to deal with when traveling (login into hotel WiFi with a kindle Paperwhite sucks!) Ideally it would have dual gig Ethernet and built in WiFi. If this works out well enough I would like to give a few of these to the family so they can access things as well, so cost is a bit important.

    I found a banana pi R3-mini that I thought would work out of the box (wifi6 + dual gig + small) but it seems too new for full software support with tail scale and I don't currently have the skills to roll my own software for it. Is there anything out there that you all have used for this type of use case?

    I know I can switch to wire guard but I'm not confident I can set that up securely and reliably but if that's my only option I think I did find a good guide.

    So I'm at a crossroads of learning to build my own openwrt install with the correct packages, learning how to setup wire guard, or asking for recommendations.

    Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations. Looks like openwrt has released a new build for the banana pi that I have so I'm going to try that again before trying to setup wire guard. The GL.inet devices look like they have an older version of openwrt, so they support tailscale via the openwrt package manager but it can be unstable. Some people have even called it alpha on those devices. So I'm hoping the newest version on the bpi-r3 will allow a more stable tailscale. I'll try to report back once I play around with it more.

    What's the best fizzy water?
  • This is a crazy recommendation but I think Canada dry plain seltzer is basically as good as topo Chico. I got some at a gas station the other day cause I was dying of thirst and it was as good as topo Chico my wife thought so too.

    Plane crashes in Brazil's Sao Paulo state, killing all 61 aboard.
  • Wings have a very delicate engineering behind them. If the airflow over the wing is disturbed too much you can lose lift and stall the wing. Plus ice build up on engines and instruments could mean bad info to the pilots and not enough power to get out of it. This was a prop driven plane so those are airfoils too. Ice on a prop and you might have no thrust to keep going.
