This year I am not having much luck with drains.

  • This year I am not having much luck with drains. After the in the office, a kitchen drain got clogged. I decided to rush to the rescue with my drain snake. I dismantled and cleaned all the local pipes, then inserted the five-meter snake and, after some persistence, managed to get through. In other words, I was quite satisfied.

    After putting everything back together, I realized I had actually solved nothing. So I armed myself with two bottles of liquid drain cleaner and poured them down the drain. Then I prepared a small pot of boiling water to pour in afterward. As soon as I poured it, it started gurgling (as expected) and going down.

    Just as I was about to celebrate victory, some sort of explosion happened, spraying all the drain cleaner back at me. Needless to say, since I had not expected anything like that (and it was an unplanned operation), I was wearing a pair of trousers and a shirt I care about.

    The result: trousers and shirt permanently stained with drain cleaner, and the drain even more clogged than before.

    Now both the shirt and the trousers are in the washing machine with dye. They will become blue 🙂

    @stefano Ouch, looks like this year wants to tell you something about a certain type of „hardware projects“. 😆😱
    I do hope you didn’t get drain cleaner in your face or on your skin. That stuff is nasty.

    @stefano I’m so sorry Stefano, ouf 😭😭😭

    Maybe Vinted is your best friend in this scenario? I often buy extra pairs of beloved clothes / shoes there (once they are worn out and if they’re out of stock in shops).

    You could even take a picture of your clothes (once they’re dry obviously) and do a visual search on Vinted

    @_elena that’s a good idea! I’m currently waiting to see how they will come out from the washing machine, with the colour applied. I saved a lot of clothes, during my university years 😄

    @Nux true. But I was wearing security glasses.

    @stefano What are all the drains doing? Any drainage at all, gurgling on all of them? Are there different effects and reactions, levels single multi ect, I ask for a reason, if all acting the same and multi level or even all acting the same same level, 1 the main cleanout plugged most likely, however very possible the vent could be plugged, when you turn on the kitchen sink does the water spit and sputter, if so although not always, most likely the vent is plugged, which means either go to the roof and run your snake down, or find the lowest and easiest to reach cleanout on the vent line, based on the build up and blow back knowing how volatile drain cleaner is, I am currently counting on your vent is plugged up, in any event stay safe and try not to toss any more volatile chemicals down the drain, they almost never actually work as intended, and normally cause bigger issues, also what happens when you plunge the toilet, water bubble up in tub or other sink or drain, so many possibilities, but total blockage and you ran snake that far, means its either vent or past the indoor flow most likely

    @stefano @_elena Did you solve that clogged drain?

    I would never have expected that outcome!

    @stefano I have had success with the periodic application of portions of Biological Drain Cleaners to the sinks and drains in my home.

    @Topslakr @_elena no 😔

  • @mau @aitech la domanda, per l'umano, nasce sempre da un modo di sentirsi vivere in un mondo quando i profili di mondo che incontra suscitano sorpresa, spaesamento, curiosità... Un fenomeno estraneo a una macchina che, in quanto tale, non ha né mondo né contesto.
    La domanda "come mai la mela cade da un albero?" me la faccio perché ho una precompressione pratica e vissuta di cosa significa stare vicino, sopra o sotto un albero, da solo o con altri... A partire da quella domanda, se allestisco un esperimento per trovare una risposta non è l'apparato sperimentale che mi fornisce una risposta ma il mio modo di riflettere sulle eventuali invarianze che il dispositivo allestito mi restituisce.
    Esiste una interessante ricerca che mostra come la rimozione delle virgolette, un tempo impiegate nella ricerca sulla IA dai primi ricercatori quando parlavano di "intelligenza" o "apprendimento" ecc..., sia stata una precisa operazione di manipolazione che con la ricerca non aveva nulla a che vedere.
    Secondo me è importante, quando scriviamo su un social o generiamo testi destinati a non esperti, che ci si sforzi di non dare per scontati significati nei termini che usiamo e se possibile usare le virgolette in riferimento a termini che pertengono l'umano.
    Non sarebbe male tenere sempre presente che, nonostante la fascinazione costruita dalle narrative, quando interagiamo con un calcolatore stiamo interagendo con un insieme di porte logiche gestite dall'algebra di Boole, cioè con dei meccanismi come quelli in figura.

  • Le etichette personalizzate per i membri dei gruppi su Signal sono apparse poche settimane fa ma con un limite evidente: non c’era modo di controllare chi potesse modificarle. Con la beta 8.3 per Android quel limite sparisce. Adesso gli amministratori del gruppo possono scegliere se il permesso di cambiare le etichette spetta solo a loro oppure a tutti i partecipanti, esattamente come già funziona per altre impostazioni di gruppo.

    È una piccola cosa, ma fa differenza in contesti dove i gruppi Signal vengono usati in modo strutturato, per esempio in team di lavoro o comunità organizzate.

    Il resto della beta è fatto soprattutto di correzioni: i messaggi ora vengono marcati come letti anche nella modalità a doppio pannello, è stato risolto un crash per le chiamate in arrivo quando l’app gira negli spazi privati di Android, e le GIF tornano ad animarsi correttamente dopo essere usciti dal visualizzatore multimediale. C’è anche un avviso che compare quando si tenta di salvare contenuti in qualità ridotta, così l’utente sa cosa sta scaricando prima di farlo.

    Chi usa Obtanium per gestire gli aggiornamenti di Signal al di fuori del Play Store deve abilitare i tag pre-release per ricevere la beta.
