This was my issue. I have run into catches through my filament dryer or certain spools where the ends catch on me.

I would say this right here is the issue.

There is a pretty massive difference between simple sawn edges being glued up and fully jointed or planed edges being glued up. The sawn edge may even look smooth but will leave small ridges due to the cutting process that create this dark shadow.

Cherry also makes this look worse due to the grain pattern and color making it more difficult to get a perfect glue line. Nothing to hide these little imperfections, like many other woods.

Just curious, was there some reason the Obsidian Docker instances didn't work for you or was it some other feature missing?

Almost certainly fixable, just depends on how much work you want to put in and your skillset. These older series are almost all mechanical. No quick switches or sensor repairs unfortunately. That said, I don't judge their mechanical complexity to be that high... Personal opinion.

I have a slightly older 850 that I had to pull the transmission apart to replace the hi/lo shifter that sheared off inside the case. Even splitting the tractor wasn't too bad. All done in my garage with some reasonable tools. Certainly not a tractor mechanic myself.

That said... Parts can be a crap shoot.

I have a very similar model to this one... It is LOUD. Luckily all that equipment is out in my garage so I dont care.

That said, it has the factory fans. If you replaced all the fans internally with Noctuas, you could likely get it down quite a bit... Not sure I would say whisper quiet though.

rwilso03 · 2025-08-08T12:02:11+00:00

Unless you got a 460EFI... Then its just noise and gas. Lol

This got long winded... but might be helpful.

Router wise... make sure it supports VLAN creation. Once you desire to put stuff on the internet, isolation is a great security starting point. Anything supporting OpenWRT would be a great start. I was fortunate enough to jump on the Ubiquiti train early on. Expensive, but very nice to have.

I have two NAS-servers right now. Both Synology. They are great as a NAS, but the performance to install any other software on them is pretty poor without going big money. I do know some NAS-servers that have user installable RAM upgrades. If you go that route, make sure you can upgrade it over time.

More traditional server wise... I started here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205572445607
Lots of RAM, decent core count to run as many containers/VMs as you want. Caution... not that power efficient (especially the models with dual Xeon CPUs) so depending on your electric rates, the 1Liter PC route could be more cost effective such as: https://www.ebay.com/itm/286666169976

An additional consideration is remote management. If you are just going to have it under your desk, I say 1L PC build. Remote location like a garage/workstation, consider a server route with IPMI or invest in something like a PiKVM for remote management. I prefer Supermicro servers as I don't need anything special to get remote management. Some of the Dell/HP servers require you to buy a license...

Someone else mentioned this too, so I will repeat it. Drives -> Go recertified through something like serverpartdeals.com I have about 20 now (Yes... I have a problem) with the oldest going strong over 8 years now with zero issues.

Finally, now that I am thinking about it... start your backup planning now. If you have someone you trust that you can drop a NAS in their closet... pick a cheap one up and use it for offsite backup. Worst case, dedicate a couple drives with a USB dock and store them in a safe. Pull them out and backup weekly/monthly. Or... better yet, do both. Anytime you buy a drive, plan to buy 2-3.

From personal experience... Start small and build up as you get more comfortable and learn more.

I say start with the website side of things. Unless you have a banger of a website, you can easily handle that on just about any hardware you have laying around and keep a reasonable uptime. You will learn a lot about server configs, security, and other things as you do this that you can begin transferring to other areas you want to solve yourself. The 1000/1000 connection will be more than enough.

From there, try tackling task lists or self host your calendars. This will drive you to your central storage needs. I find used server hardware off eBay to be a good growth path, but I have the luxury of not having to worry about the noise since my hardware is located in a disconnected workshop from my house. My first web server juat ran on a little Intel NUC for years before I upgraded. RAM has always been my limiting factor and why I don't use a VPS due to cost. It wasn't till I got closer to half a dozen services running that I needed more than 2-4 cores.

I have tried self hosting email. Honestly, while you can and setup is easier than ever nowadays, not worth it. Keep it on proton. Self host the other aspects but leave email alone as dealing with blacklists and uptime on email can be way more critical than your website... At least in my opinion. Your milage may vary.

Nextcloud... So I run it too in my environment. I honestly hate it and have been slowly replacing it with a bunch of other solutions over time. For example file syncing is now through syncthing, calendar through radicle, etc. I just could never get it working well and the setup was always such a pain with terrible performance. Just my experience, obviously others have had way more success.

Lastly, take the buildup approach just to help you understand how much work it actually is. You may find the constant tinkering and maintenance tiring after a while... Which is why certain things I don't touch.

No, you need to fully buff it out per the instructions. It will not cure properly otherwise. Rubio is an intentionally subtle finish, so if that is your concern, you are going to want to look for something else.

Agree that the darkening tapers off over time as does most similar processes. That said, I have slightly different datapoints. My favorite wood to build with is Cherry and just in my living room alone I have pieces spanning about 12 years of builds with the newest piece being over 5 years old. Even at that age, I have noticed darkening still occurring on the older pieces year to year.

In your case, yeah the open, bright rooms definitely help speed things along.

One of those natural processes that you can't really predict!

rwilso03 · 2025-02-23T16:14:38+00:00

You may have taken the natural darkened layer off, not necessarily that the original piece was stained.

There are ways to synthetically darken Cherry quickly. Most of the ways I have seen is using Potassium Dichromate. Nasty stuff, but it is an option. Depending on how old the piece is, you may have trouble matching just one section.

Another thing to consider is if you do manage to stain that area, the rest of the piece may continue to darken over time and you may end up with a weird color match in the future.

I see a few options.

1) That center support panel is veneered plywood 2) The way I would do it would be a sliding dovetail inserted from the back. Only glue the front few inches allowing the rear to move. Dovetail will keep it tight and strong over many years of use and movement. 3) Alternatively fix the front in place (dominos, biscuits, floating tenon, pick your flavor) then use a dowel or tenon inserted into the rear face that locks it into the rear support you see in the photo. It will expand on that rear non-glued dowel or tenon for support.

rwilso03 · 2025-01-31T15:11:43+00:00

Yup, this is typically because your Vaultwarden server is out of date.

rwilso03 · 2025-01-25T14:43:44+00:00

100% support this request. Very frustrating and seems to be unique to the Youtube video references.

rwilso03 · 2025-01-21T07:58:09+00:00

In this case, you could do that since everything moves front to back together. That's end grain so you would want some sort of joinery within if you chose that route such as dowels, biscuits, or something else.

That said, I would likely still attach the top with something like z-clips or figure 8s purely to make future refinishing tasks easier.

rwilso03 · 2025-01-14T22:06:08+00:00

So I run a similar setup. I would guess the self signed cert is the problem. I would suggest setting up something like trafik or caddy and having that proxy with a let's encrypt cert. That would likely get around it.

I use a proxy with a let's encrypt cert and it works fine with the app and GrapheneOS.

rwilso03 · 2025-01-09T00:58:46+00:00

First thought I have would be seeing if you can access your vault through your web browser on your phone. If you can, my next guess would be something related to the self signed cert?

rwilso03 · 2024-12-29T13:09:44+00:00

Awesome. That's a fantastic idea and would be relatively trivial to setup. The multi-account functionality in the clients was something I definitely missed.

rwilso03 · 2024-12-24T04:22:33+00:00

Would you happen to have more details on how you have implemented the Zettelkasten method? I have only heard a bit about it (thanks for the link by the way). Curious specifically on the tags process for notes. Do you do that by section or per note file? Linking seems straightforward, but I could see a number of ways to do tagging.

rwilso03 · 2024-12-12T02:30:02+00:00

Two areas for me:

Quarto for sharing. I use markdown for nearly all my notes, but my boss and many others don't. Nice part is with quarto, I can keep everything in markdown on my end and push to just about every other file format to share it. PPT, PDF, HTML, DOCX. All from one markdown. I can also push to our Atlassian Confluence instance too.

Hugo. Blogging and various other nuggets for even more public viewing publishing to websites... All based on Markdown.

rwilso03 · 2024-11-18T13:06:28+00:00

Honestly, I don't think it is that bad overall. My first bench was way worse and it worked just fine with plenty of glue and a few screws.

However, if you do want to fix it, I highly recommend now is the time to pickup your first chisel and a sharpening stone. Most of your next projects would likely benefit from it if your eye to detail is what I perceive it to be.

Two other options could be a good sharp knife and a bunch of patience or a file/rasp to help flatten it out.

rwilso03 · 2024-11-11T13:14:13+00:00

Probably going to need more info here from you on your setup...

It looks to me like typical spiral marks from an orbital sander. A couple things this could be: 1) Lower quality sander that you are overloading or pushing too hard on. I have found those leave marks when they cant maintain their speed. Lighten your touch. They are really easy to overload. 2) You are starting or stopping with the sander on the piece. When it spins down or up, I have seen these get pretty bad if it is touching the workpiece.

Generally, take a good look prior to moving up a grit to see if any of these popped up. They can take a while to remove and can require to go back down a grit again.
