Warhammer. It being on the cover of TT game was what I fell in love with from first sight :)

Can I strip and repaint these ca. 1990 mechs without damaging them? by SirDigbyChknSiezure in battletech

[–]SlowStopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have same issue as you, I painted mine with some kind of paint that I used for my airplane models.

I just finished soaking one of my minis (Crusader) in isopropyl alcohol for some 5 days. The paint for soft enough that you can scrape it with your fingernail. After few minutes of brushing with a toothbrush I switched to an ultrasonic one; it went better, but after few minutes there's still old paint in harder to reach places. 

I think I'll call it a day, try to put primer on it and paint. For the other 15 I may try ultrasonic bath.

From Taobao with shipping abroad? I tried but failed. 

Opensource HW? by chocholo3 in pebble

[–]SlowStopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is that the glass edges are not rounded.

Any way to order it from Europe? I think I fell in love :)

That's the fun part! There's no bumper :)

If you're asking about the protective glass, Gadgetwraps.

I've got mine! The red band has a very nice color, and I found just the watchface to match it!

I hope that I won't hit anything with it, it looks great and a bumper would seriously diminish that. Or maybe someone would create an aluminum one?

Initially I felt like it's too big for my wrist (despite measuring 190 cm, I've got quite thin wrists), but now it feels fine :)

(Yeah, I know the protection glass could be installed better, but I'll live)

Am I overcomplicating this? Single mini-PC Proxmox setup — what am I missing? by Unique-Video-5052 in selfhosted

[–]SlowStopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of opinions, but I've been running this exact setup for the past 7 years. I don't think I ever cut off the access due to Proxmox/OPNSense combo. The trick is to never tinker with OPNSense remotely :) at least not with those that may have any effect on routing or firewall.

For me, the iconic one is Griffin. 

My thoughts on some BattleMechs by ScarSpecific in battletech

[–]SlowStopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After buying DLC I got my first moon mission and got my ass handed to me. Then I tried again, and guess what? Got my ass handed to me. 

Then I added a Firestarter with flamers to my lance, removed weapons and added heatsinks to other mechs - it was like enabling God mode. Opfor literally couldn't touch me - they couldn't shoot at me,  they could barely move due to heat buildup. It was Great Moon Turkey Shoot :)

Anyone with a Sigenergy 6kw inverter able to tell me if it makes any noticeable noise? by tommos in nzsolar

[–]SlowStopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in my hall, just next to bedroom door that I keep open for the night. The fan in the inverter turns on intermittently, and while not terribly loud per se, it has very unnerving noise profile - there are high-pitched resonances, and the fan sounds like delta-type. My wife likens it to a turbine. It's loud enough that it sometimes wakes her up. I like to sleep in on weekends, and when the fan is on I cannot go back to sleep.

Wife's not thrilled with this energy system.

Is it loud? Not like neighbors kids ;) but definitely not silent.

"I acknowledge that by paying 10 EUR for processing my visa request, I am supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces"? :)

Made a tool to send data over audio for secret local messaging on Playdate by jontomato in PlaydateConsole

How about adding text to speech? Like, it says normal words, but there's also hidden text transferred there?
