For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • Solar with batteries and stuff.
    Pavers in the backyard.

    I tend to do some things myself, so it’s not just about money but also about time and energy.
    Although, I guess, in a way that’s still about money since I could hire it out, just that cost is prohibitive and we chose not to.
    The quote for pavers was something like $65 per square foot, which is simply insane.
    I’ll do them myself eventually, but I’m procrastinating for now.

    Otherwise, it’s an old house so there’s always something.
    It’s now fairly well insulated, which means one of the next projects is to put in an air exhanger. Sigh.
    That’s not that big of an expense, but there’s been a few other big projects, so I’ve been procrastinating about that one too.


  • lol fuck that noise, literally.
    Unsolder the piezo.

    Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
    Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
    I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

    Alnyway, an air fryer is big enough that it’s probably not as complicated to disassemble as smaller tighter devices.
    Specifically about this, the fccid might be only the wireless module inside and not the whole thing, so maybe not as helpful.

    Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.
