Lately, more and more online services are implementing the new, revolutionary availability strategy of *two-stage failover*:1. It fails.2. It's over.

(This is genuinely useful, there’s a crapton of things on a typical Linux install that start with sys but usually nothing else that starts with len, greatly speeding up tab completion.)

Seriously, who needs this and for what perverted purpose? This is a real product, not a homage to @NanoRaptor

New machine day at Warsaw Hackerspace - we got an Avia FND32 milling machine. Getting it inside involved putting it on its side, then standing it back up.

Next up: complete disassembly for cleaning and overhaul. This is a 1972 machine that sat unused in a warehouse for the last 15 years, and got a bit of rain on it at some point. All of the oil and grease inside probably turned to a useless goop long ago, there’s a lot of surface rust and some internal spaces got water in them, that mixed into the oil and turned into forbidden nutella.

First order of business: removing the upper ram. Being the topmost section of the machine, it got the most water on it, forming large amounts of rust and seizing up the bearing surfaces. The ram is thus well and truly stuck. Luckily, the rust does not extend deep into the interface between castings and thus will not impact future performance of the machine after cleanup. Still, a significant amount of percussive persuasion was needed to get it moving.

Now removing the lower ram, which is heavier and more complicated. On the other hand, it slides freely on undamaged bearing surfaces and requires little force to move.

A foreshadowing of what’s yet to come: the power feed/rapid traverse gearbox is also chock full of forbidden nutella. This will be fun to take apart and put back together.

@iro_miya usually I can figure out how many characters to backspace off and fix it without actually sering the password.

@mia old Mazzer grinders pop up at stupid low prices every now and then. It’s a bit of work to replace the doser with a simple spout (I think someone makes aftermarket spouts, but where’s the fun in buying a pre-made part), but other than that, if you have the space for a boat anchor of a grinder, they’re nice.Bonus feature: you can bludgeon someone to death with it, then grind a dose to sip some coffee over the corpse, the grinder will be fine. Also, lugging it around will definitely bulk you up symmetrically, as there’s no way you’re lifting it up with just one hand.

@amberxorluci @ptx and it works! I was initially worried about viscosity of the oil-based solution, as insulin is water-based and the mechanism is only designed for that, but it handles E just fine.

@ptx damn, one more reason I wish I could be there - and maybe even contribute with some innovations in delivery methods (photo relevant, cw: injection equipment)

@methyltheobromine faster, IMO more convenient and less prone to mistakes. More importantly in my experience, the device acts as a protective case for the vial (I know people who dropped a 10ml vial of E and broke it), and it's *much* easier to use for people with physical disabilities that impair finger strength and dexterity. That last one does not apply to me, but I still consider it to be a hugely important advantage.
