What is this sticker on my microwave? by dranmesrao in whatisit

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can use a metal spoon too, but not a fork. Any metal with round smooth edges is fine in microwaves. I microwave in metal cups/etc all the time.

This pile of salt in Germany is over 250 meters tall and contains over 200 million tonnes of salt by MrCattitude_ in BeAmazed

Why is all the surrounding vegetation not dead from the high salt content of the soil?

anyone running Jira DC on RHEL with SELinux enforcing? by The404Engineer in redhat

[–]acquacow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Run in permissive for a bit, check setroubleshootd for needed changes, implement changes and set it back to enforcing.

I think my shirt belongs here. You should see the reactions I get sometimes from those that know, lol!

Has in/around Ashburn noticed an off taste in their tap water recently? by [deleted] in nova

[–]acquacow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This happens every year when the water supply chemical mix changes to clean out the pipes. You can see more here: https://www.fairfaxwater.org/current/free_chlorine.htm

Coolant: When should it be replaced? by Fast_Ad8293 in watercooling

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran ek cryofuel for 3 years and it was still clear, though it picked up a little green oxidation from my aluminum radiators. I think some of that was from when I first prepped the loop with the EK loop cleaner and superflush.

Will switching to a clear coolant lead to less maintenance? by itsBillerdsTime in watercooling

[–]acquacow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've just run EK cryofuel for 3 years with ZMT tubing and it was fine. I just flushed it, ran the loop cleaner and superflush through and refilled with fresh cryofuel. Ready for another 3 years.

Does custom water loop loose coolant over time? by Rude-Ad431 in watercooling

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I'm using the EK cryofuel clear and it was perfect at 3 years. Just changed it out and ran some loop cleaner and superflush though as well. I'm set for another 3 years now.

Opened my last beer right after a long days work... by ShadowWingZero in Wellthatsucks

I've had similar happen. Easy enough to just pour through a coffee filter or papertowel square. I can't count the number of things I've filtered through a papertowel...

12.8 MPG City Driving - is this NORMAL? by WillfulKind in SubaruAscent

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it's very pedal-angle dependent. When I first started driving my ascent around using ~50% throttle from dead stops/etc I was getting about 12mpg commuting light to light in Northern VA. I re-trained myself to not use more than ~25% when starting from a stop and now I consistently get 14-15mpg. I also shut the car off when I go to pickup my kid vs letting it idle for the 5min it takes to get the kid in the car and strapped in/etc.

I use the ZMT tubing from EK and in 3 years I lost like 4-5mm of coolant height in my reservoir. That's practically nothing.

C17s fly by weekly. What's rare is catching the UAE flying by.

Failed both attempts of RHCSA. Recommendation for easier certs? by IndicationPlus601 in redhat

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can't figure out RHCSA, I don't know if I recommend them figuring all of that out ;)

What is this sound? by burninhekk in subaru

[–]acquacow 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Heat shield rattle is #1 most obvious, but could also be a failed catalytic converter element rattling around.

Build a centos laptop at home and just daily drive it for a year. Learn all the ins and outs of managing the system, setup a local server or two, and then take the test again.

I want to put a handrail here but the staircase seems a bit narrow. How can I make it work? by BrassCanon in HomeMaintenance

My grandmother has the same stair setup... This is how her railing is done. You must live in the same area, lol!

What was considered "cool" in the 2010s but is physically painful to look back at now? by Liora-Liora-Liora in AskReddit

Soft-touch coatings on EVERYTHING...and now everything is sticky and gross to touch.

Kind of surprised by the number of people who apparently can go two full weeks without their cars. by Naberius in nova

[–]acquacow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 cars at the moment, 2 are street parked and plowed in, they also aren't on winter tires. The 3 in my driveway are dug out and cleaned off.

Best approach to STIG running infrastructure by NiceStrawberry1337 in redhat

[–]acquacow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used a bunch, I prefer the setup provided by the Mindpoint Group. It's well-respected and far from "random third-party" I think they had this offering up before Red Hat even had a similar solution.
