Arreglado el problema que estaba teniendo con el chat de mi instancia de Owncast en el que un custom CSS hacía desaparecer los mensajes enviados hace 60s.

Todo provocado por un intento frustrado de poder incluir los mensajes del chat en el mismo stream para que así quedasen reflejados en la grabación.

i just fixed a rickety chair. such a handy type person #FixingThings

You ever fix something and realize just how janky everything is holding together?

We have a couple doors in our house that have always sagged and wiggled when you moved them. I finally learned how to fix this problem and did it last night. The first one someone tried to hold up with machine screws. And the second the screws were so short they did not touch the frame… they only made it into the door jam, which is a soft almost cardboard like interior.

Guten Morgen, kommt gut in die Woche!
Meine Arbeitswoche beginnt morgen, heute spiele ich nochmal familiären Hausmeister für alle möglichen Jobs.

I have a trackball where the rubber feet are partially falling of. I was thinking of removing them, cleaning the remaining glue and grime with "Goo Gone", and then re-glue the feet back. Is that a good approach? If yes, what type of glue should I use for the feet?

Unplugged it, took it back to the bathroom, plugged it in—and it happily reset? To the right time, even? (These have all been running 2-3 minutes fast, last few years. I can adjust the time, but they always drift, so why bother?)

Anyway, no clue what I did, but thank you, clock & repair gods? I was not looking forward to trying to find a replacement, since all the new ones have features I don't want, & also $$$.

Blanking on the right hashtag; hints, anyone?

No obvious damage, except for one smudge that wasn't anywhere near anything conductive that I could see. Brushed out some pretty mimimal dust. 🤷

Put it back together, figuring it'll be fixed, completely broken, or no change.

Came on okay when I plugged in, but didn't self-set. Well, I can live with a clock I have to set manually in the bathroom. >

& your post here reminded me that I needed to take a look at my bathroom clock. It's one of those "autoset" jobs, but the last few years it's had...issues with the DST time-change. This time around, pushing the button to reset the time turned the radio on!? Which then wouldn't turn off??

So I took off the case (after spending an hour & a half drilling off the head of a stripped screw—I think that's why I didn't address this last time). >

Puzzled, I try the trigger again, and watch as the lever closes in on the contact switch... and then the trigger maxes out just before the switch is depressed. Looks like a manufacturing defect in either the trigger or the lever, one of them is just a hair too thin. I pop out the trigger, run a tiny screw into the end of it, and reassemble the saw. Now I've got a working chainsaw for $36 while simultaneously saving this thing from going to a landfill.

3/3
