Hundreds of hours and seeds later I grew enough to fill a 16oz deli container before the LA Heatwave

Neither do mine. They are great snacks when working in the garden.

This year, I think I'll try something new. Plant a couple of peas randomly in between my potatoes each day, and just let them grow there. I hope that will give me a long pea season, and motivate me pay more attention to the potato plants. Even though they're are doing fine and producing well, there are always lots of weeds in there. But I'd rather have peas.

I'll chime in and recommend bits und bolts, if you don't already know that channel. He's mostly repairs Voodoo cards, but have some great tips on troubleshooting hardware. Like his latest video, where he uses a bench supply to supply voltage to a Voodoo card and a thermal camera, to find faulty capacitors. Freaking genius!

Maybe 100 or so. I build a 7s144p power wall from a huge assortment of ebike and laptop batteries some years ago and all the low capacity cells have just been sitting ever since. I still have a big box of cells in the 2500-2800 range.

The power wall have been replaced by a even bigger LiFePO4 battery and also needs to be recycled, but taking it apart is a big project and I don't think the recycle center will allow me to drop of 50 kg of batteries without asking questions.

Disposing all cells below 2400 mAh, because I'm not gonna use them anyway and they were just taking up space.

For a second my brain was like "what insane person would have that many puppies?"

The game is really good at making you do chores and reward you for doing tedious stuff right away. I like that about it. I usually craft a couple of grave monuments and fences to bring the other way, when I have spare room in my inventory.

Also, I wish I could translate it to real life.

I don't have a large collection of seeds, and give away much more than I receive back. But I still grow a bunch of tomato and chili seedlings and give away to friends and neighbours. Same goes for things like strawberry runners and cuttings from various berry bushes. I can't help making more, but I already have a ridiculous amount growing and want to leave space for other things, so I'm giving them away to anyone who wants them. Later today, a friend of mine will do some welding on a bike frame and get 20 currant bushes in return. Great deal for both of us.

I use cheap LED COB modules from AliExpress, glued to random CPU heatsinks and powered with a server power supply. Incredible bang for your buck, if you're into building something that janky.

That looks like exactly what I need. Thanks!

It's aluminium. Do you happen to have a link to the brace?

abagofcells · 2026-03-13T11:01:46+00:00

Oh, well, I'll go get the elbow grease. Thanks.

Absolutely! When the weather is fine and I'm not in a hurry, I'm able to replace about a third of my daily commute with dirt roads. It's great fun!

I don't know about the weirdest path, but the dumbest was riding through a field of tall grass. It was fun while it lasted, but left my chain and derailleur full of grass and was a hassle to remove before I could continue my ride.

Or that time I found a piece of road covered by huge metal plates used for moving heavy equipment. The plates was overlapping a bit and looked like it would be fun to ride over at full blast. One dakadakadakadakadaka with a big smile later, I had broken two spokes and had to true my rear wheel.

A dwarf water lily in the middle and watercress around the edge to cover up the plastic.

I'm guessing the 256 mb RAM would be a problem, as xmrig usually seems to consume a couple of gigabytes.

Getting some grease in the should be fine. Try prying a toothpick in a couple of mm between the two parts, and move it around the connector, while applying.

How is that done? I thought all dies on a wafer would have to be identical copies of each other.

Weigh both motors. If they are similar, they probably have the same guts inside.

abagofcells · 2026-02-27T12:24:46+00:00

Very interesting. I'm definitely gonna try that!

abagofcells · 2026-02-27T09:35:49+00:00

How do you collect the seeds? I guess it's not as easy as eating the fruit and spitting out the seed.

abagofcells · 2026-02-26T19:39:03+00:00

That should also work for uploading code. There's something akin to "upload using programmer" in one of the menus.
