  • I have one, it’s been great.

    That said, “exactly what the problem is” isn’t always the same as telling you the solution. I had a “misfire on cyl #3” error or something like that, which can be a number of things. Replacing all the coils and plugs myself was probably still cheaper than taking it to the shop though!






  • If you want a non-hazardous (to humans) degreaser, d-limonene can be purchased food grade. It’s just orange oil, has similar properties to kerosene, but is “generally recognized as safe” by the FDA and EFSA. Commonly found in liquid hand soap.

    Basically, it’s paint thinner you can drink.

    It can also be used as an additive in petroleum based cleaners, in which case, definitely not a good idea to drink!

    More to your question, I usually start with hot soapy water as a first pass, but it probably won’t get your chain looking like new–need the degreasers for that.





  • I do something similar — I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It’s at family’s house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

    It’s a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can’t talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

    Even our “slow” 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.





  • Except on the Linux systems I’ve used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).

    I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.
