ok guys now i go ahead and forget about this thread and then hopefully after a week i remember it and come back to /diy/ where i will see this thread have 200+ replies with alot of pictures and laughs

>>1096848
That's not very cringe-worthy. A lot of people do that when they install custom OS's and overclock their routers. I'm actually in the process of doing something like this but just a CPU cooler instead of watercooling.

>>1096848
>how to turn a $10 router from a garage sale into a $200 router

>>1096862
Why would someone over clock a router and install a custom OS? Does this somehow increase speeds?

>>1096839
This, this is the work of a meth head and/or nigger.

>>1096860
Never seen a water cooled one and why the fuck would you ever using water cooling. Most people add a heatsink with or without a fan on it. Seen a few with just a case fan and no heatsink.

>Why would someone over clock a router and install a custom OS? Does this somehow increase speeds?

There is a ton of features that are extremely useful depending on what sort of servers and other setups you have in your house.

Once you get past basic wifi, most routers have very poor feature sets. A lot are proprietary meaning you have to download a Netgear app or something stupid like that, or they flat out dont work right.

You install the open source software without bloat and other garbage, itll allow you to open up a router to perform much better than just stock. You may overclock it because you are running a lot more features. Not to mention in the router world, youll get a few firmware updates and then they just drop support altogether shortly after leaving bugs and other security problems.

Its obviously not a big deal for people who just want basic wifi.

>>1096891
He probably already has a pretty stout custom loop in his PC already.
Its not like its any harder to add a block to his router

>>1096905
I still don't understand, what features would someone want from a router other than routing of data and wifi? Are they wanting to be able to throttle specific ports without paying $500 for a commercial unit?

Also, I'm seeing a shitload of diy cringe that is posted in EVERY thread. How about some new shit?

>>1096910
There is a short list of features listed here
https://www.flashrouters.com/learn/router-basics/what-is-tomato
There is no stock router that comes even close to having even half of the features listed

It really depends in the person.
I am on data capped internet.
My router stock had a "bandwidth monitor".

It was slow, inaccurate, and its way of warning you that you have hit a limit was a fucking pop-up in firefox. Ignore the fact that its only a pop up on ONE computer IF when you hit the trigger firefox was actively open. It wont show up the next time you open firefox, you just wont get notified.

You could set up logging to send an email to you, but you couldnt set up your bandwidth monitor to email you. You could only check the bandwith usage by using netgears app on your phone (which blew) or by logging all the way into the router. Btw, logging into the router was slow as fuck because of the bloat.

This is a fucking 250$ router (ac3200) that lacks basic functionality you expect out of even a cheap router.

Is it really that hard to have my router tell me what PC is using the most internet, and to email me when I hit my set triggers?
Not to mention the QOS features are really fucking nice

>>1096915
Also I forgot the most important feature of all
YOU CAN TURN OFF THE FUCKING BLINKING LED LIGHTS

>>1096910
>I still don't understand, what features would someone want from a router other than routing of data and wifi?
Efficiently routing and controlling their data with features from this century.

>>1096870
If you want to do something like run a filtering proxy on it, use it as a VPN bridge to work/your personal darknet, use it as a seed box, etc, then more CPU muscle can really help. Most cheap routers have CPUs that make the pi-zero look like a powerhouse.

>>1096845
mmmm
Now that's a proper bodge

>>1096862
>how to turn a $10 router
WHAT FUCKING $10 ROUTER DO I BUY THEN?
Even the link supplied by >>1096915

is fuckers trying to sell me $400 Netgears, that I would hope probably came with a halfway usable interface/feature set anyway, whch it should when it cost more than my fucking PC.

If anyone has a link to, or can recommend a few hackable actully cheep router models? TiA.

I got two of the HT-TM02 variant on sale a while back. They run openwrt like a champ, and I got better wireless speeds from that than I did from the apple airport.

It's got a USB port, which is enough for most things, but if you need GPIO supposedly you can solder on the pins ( I haven't done that yet).

Didnt have a fuse to test this microwave. I improvised.

>>1097230
It's easier to cut a single piece of drywall than it is to unhook and unmount a TV, that you'll then be expected to set back up?

I would not be okay with those ladders personally, but don't begrudge them particularly. I probably weigh more than both of those guys put together, so I'd blow those ladders up by the time I got my tools up there.

That pole though. Looks like it's really shitty third-world concrete and like 6"x6" That shit needs to flex and bend.

The corners are worn smooth by concrete pole climbers.

Aaaaah. Like okay, 10' up in a building or somewhere else where it's not going to flex, but not 40' up to a transformer and high tension telecom lines.

>what features would someone want from a router other than routing of data and wifi?
I'm using dd-wrt on some old 5$ tp-links to turn them into a wds mesh (think of it as multiple wifi repeaters connected together) for my home, garage and garden. Also the default software had a nasty backdoor (googling up that router turned it on the first page of results), that allowed ANYONE to log into them as a root.
Custom software is usually some nasty, inefficient, insecure, obligatory crapware with no features.
With dd-wrt I can monitor network usage of specific devices, log their activity and trim their bandwidth if necessary so I don't have to argue with my family if I want to make a skype call.

NOT A $10 ROUTER EITHER, BUT, ISSIT?
;) good man, cheers fo the recommend, just scored one for $5 >>1097216 is prob right, lack of GB port be a deal breaker normally for main router use, just need it to ensure couple of things are either running VPN (or not running at all) - GB port aint important - can hopefully did it with this + openwrt, when not, back to $400 drawing board.

Ive actually got Alix boxes (mini-embedded-PC-boxes type things) sitting there, forgot about - went to install openwrt on those before, **** telling me, need to buy a license. Which aint very open of them. Aynone know a workaround there?, appreciated, as ever.

>>1097860

Since there's no stupid question general, and you'll probably cringe at my question, I'll post it here instead of shitting up your board with a thread:

I'm making a bluetooth speaker out of a broken vintage GE radio (Don't rage, it's one of the common ones that only resells for $10m IF it sells at all.), but I'm looking at using a rechargeable cellphone battery pack to power the thing.

Are the power switches on the battery banks commonly a simple SPST?

TO18 is an American made standard (18 stands for 0.18") those wouldn't look like they do if they were soviet

LED technology is a very American thing, especially early on (some Japanese guys discovered strong usable blue though)

Additionally while LEDs were in existence, they were never majorly manufactured in the Soviet Union, especially not in American form factor bodies

Handyman here. First time on /diy/ but I can post some things I've seen.

This was in the back area of a supplier, customers don't go there unless using the loading dock. I try not to stand next to that shelf.

>>1104714
>BTW that's a huge 12' high shelf, loaded with heavy objects like pipes.

This one is from clearing an apartment after the tenant moved out.


My best cringe I sadly don't have a picture of- a light switch mounted INSIDE a tile shower. Remember tile is tricky to work with, so a tile cutter (who had presumably worked with bathrooms before), and an electrician and possibly a plumber all looked at an electrical lightswitch mounted directly in the sights of a shower nozzle and said "OK, this is good".

>>1104832

Well. Each cable is different. It may look like a mess from a far but when you get closer you can tell the difference.

Phone lines are difficult to pirate because numbers need to be allocated from the exchange so you also need a guy/access to inside the exchange.

Exposed power lines are universally at the top of the power poles so anything running from that height is power. Also again power line is obviously different from other line.

>>1104827
Probably someone grounded a wire to it. The gas inside cannot ignite as long as there isn't a leak.

>>1096891

You can actually make a sort of new temporary fuse if you take a copper wire strand, hold it onto the old fuse, then wedge it in the holder so it makes contact. Just add more wire strands to increase max current.

It also has a lot to do with the flexibility of the grid. That pole is probably served by a local generator house that produces power for the local neighborhood, and that's all it's hooked to. If the generator runs out of diesel they're fucked.

The US has an infrastructure that can shift power hundreds of miles in response to real-time demand fluctuations.

i saw a fire on a power pole while there and theyre all just standing under it wondering whats going on..

>>1105772
It's not burning, from gas. It's a problem with a ground going to the gas line and a short from the main power. Electricity is taking the easiest route from wherever it is shorted to ground, through the gas line. The pipe can't take that kind of current so it heats up until it finds an equilibrium between its resistance and current draw.

Anyone ever notice nobody adds a picture of their computer cases in these threads.

Finally had a chance to take a good look at the crack in my garage wall and it turns out at least significant part of it is built from hollow bricks standing on their ends aka soldier position. It is also one brick thick. No wonder it cracked. On a side note, a sort of plaster thing they covered it with to hide this atrocity is in some places actually harder than the reinforced concrete slab the whole thing is standing on. I needed to knock some of it away in one place and could barely make a few dents with a chisel. I think it was built somewhere in early 80's.

Its just a shit ton of current passing through the nut making it glow. Dont overthink it man.

>>1106122
To be more specific, the connector is isolated from the bus bar in some way or another, and the current is flowing from the bus bar, through the bolt, through the nut, and onto the connector from the bottom of the nut.

But that's not all....

I mean, I guess that's not *that* dangerous, any more so than using a lathe normally, at least, as long as he's careful to keep his clothes out of the way and somehow manages to get a toolrest in there.

>>1107790

Imagine being stuck in the exit being able to reach outside but still roasting to death?

>>1107889

Fun fact, in that entire pile up, a single guy survived because he fell into an implausibly small safe pocket where he could breathe clear air, at the very bottom of the pile so he was protected from the burning, AND in the foetal position which prevented the compression from asphyxiating him.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A RED HOSE

>>1108115
They never made them in bulk because there was no reason to. They had incandescent bulbs made so cheaply even florescent was more expensive.

Think of it this way: what is a single use of an led that isn't decadent?

As a status light? They were making incandescent bulbs so cheaply it made no sense to use leds.

As digital displays? They didn't use digital displays until right before the fall

For low energy circuits? You don't need to worry that much about energy efficiency when most homes have gas/wood stoves and only one light bulb in their house

Additionally go around your house and try to find a single thing that had an led on it made before 1990. Go around some labs with tools from the 80s, you won't find a single instrument with an led

It's not that the soviets couldn't male leds, it's that there was no point

Why would they set up a factory for something that was considered a silly little light that is barely visible?

It is true they had some leds that were shipped in and re-labeled with soviet markings, but these were not soviet

Years ago a friend of mine went to church for the first time with his gf at the time on Christmas eve. Now he wasn't stupid but he decided to take acid that night to enjoy the Christmas celebrations. So they had lots of candles and it started a fire that spread so quickly onto the curtains that he barely escaped.

Short story long he just stood there and watched the fire. He also didn't make it out alive because he just stood there. When I asked him why he didn't run he said "He thought it was all part of the show"

Exactly, very high end audio equipment. Something unheard of in soviet Russia

>>1108509
They didn't care about modern technology, they cared about USEFUL technology

Believe it or not, leds are pretty useless until you make them very very small (aka amoled screens)

>>1096848
Very nice! Hope u run a different firmware that thing is vulnerable af...

No worries. This post is only supporting a 3 story building. It's fine. Not like SF is known for quakes or anything.

Only $2 million.

Most lab equipment I've used from 80's or earlier has had LEDs for indicators. Lamps are usually used for meter illumination.
Especially for things that require fast switching times, like status indicators.

Decadent TI30 scientific calculator I've owned since 1975. (sold new for ~$25)
Previously, around 1972 I had bought a four function calculator at Radio Shack for the astoundingly low price of $99 +tax with LED display.
>$100.00 in 1972 had the same buying power as $575.49 in 2016

That silly "decadent" comment was about the Soviet calculators.
This came out in 1977. Soviets seemed to prefer VFDs in calculators, though, before switching to LCDs.

With 16 or so I had these plastic glasses, way before people started wearing them. Anyhow, one day I am doing stupid kid shit, probably brawling or whatever, but the frame breaks right at the corner of the hinge. Not the hinge itself, but further forwards where the hinge sits next to the glass. A really shitty place to have a frame broken. But gladly a kid had his hotglue pistol with him that day. And it worked. I wore that frame for another two or three months until I got new glasses.

It's a wood lathe, not a metal lathe. Not _super_ dangerous. I forget what people call it, riding the donkey or something stupid. Basically, woodworkers are used to anemic power tools and should not be in charge of safety.

That red wire is pull tied to both a very hot exhaust pipe that would melt the wire's insulation, and to a rotating shaft that would instantly rip the wire to shreds as soon as he began moving
