Removing Local Copy on Linked Devices

Am I missing the way to remove chat history/attachments from a linked device?

My iPad is linked to my signal account on my iPhone. It is not storing over a gig of data on iPad that I really do not need there. Ideally selective re-sync of old attachments and conversations, but would settle for wiping all history over X days on the linked device in question only.

Asking before I uninstall, reinstall, and relink which should limit it to 45 days. Which seems an odd way to do that.

Safely Discharge AC Capacitor

How do I safely discharge this capacitor? Before going any farther, I want it to be safe.

I am tearing apart a window fan with two fans, hence why I believe it is a double (term??) capacitor with two 2.5 µF ratings?

Seems white is in, red jumper, grey out.

Errors Finding Existing Notes

Has anyone else noticed that shortcuts has had trouble finding specific notes?

I have several shortcuts that record information to a note as a poor man's db/csv. They look for the note but if does not exist will create with the title and csv first row. For the past month multiple shortcuts have been unable to find, create a new note with but then either:

  1. Just fails. This may be because I run some while phone is locked (action button or automation).
  2. Creates a new note with title and first row, but then asks me which note to use - showing me the previous one it should have found and the new one it just created (verified by looking closely and seeing lines in the preview).
  3. Works just fine, albeit who knows which of the past notes it actually appends to.
  4. Once it put data in a completely wrong note.

I have rebooted. I have a ton of notes, and one of these logs has gotten quite long (I manually pull to my computer for a csv, but have not. It was never an issue from before and shortcut has not changed. Does not explain all of the above, especially with other shortcuts).

I estimate about the last month that this began.

Costco vs Harbor Freight Nitrile Gloves

Does anyone have direct experience with Kirkland vs Vulcan vs Harbor Freight disposable nitrile gloves?

Historically I have use Halyard purple (carry over from COVID but overkill for many daily tasks).

I know Kirkland gloves have changed recently.

I know the two are totally different technologies, but as far as comfortable side sleeping, what are your thoughts? 6', 210 so LXW/Large. Prices are nearly the same.

While car camping is first on the list, short backpacking trips would be lovely to do. Would also consider sleeping in my car with a platform and this or even trying hammock with a cheap hammock and some mattress.

I have to sleep on my side - strongly prefer hugging a pillow (helps shoulder). I have a Thermarest NeoAir XLite (not NXT) but not used

What is with the lay orientation? Is it only on some Warbonnet hammocks? I am a dedicated side sleeper, but switch sides every couple hours during the night in bed.

I have to sleep on my side hugging a pillow, but I switch sides every couple hours (and favor a side based on which shoulder is better/worse). Are any hammocks any good for this?

Getting back to camping this summer. Several injuries/conditions over the years has left me particular about my sleep. Beyond on side with a pillow, I have a foam mattress, eight sleep for temperature, slightly raised foot/head via platform, and a water pillow (neck/shoulder support).

If I were to try this, recommendations on low cost starting point? Right now car camping, but would like to get in backpacking but does not have to UL. The only gear I have of relevance is a NeoAir XLite (not NXT). I have not used it yet, but am worried about side on ground but read here about using a pad in a cheap hammock to start/test? Cheers

Edit: this is the password for sending encrypted to non-proton emails. Not your user account.

I do not recall the password length being limited to under 21 characters (but over 8)?

I have some pre-established passwords with certain people and now unable to reply on mobile because there is a 21 character password limit.

I am struggling to grasp the technical limitation that is forcing this? I thought we were past the days of maximum lengths for passwords, barring periods, etc.

I have been wanting to make a couple custom baskets (image for attention).

What is the cheapest home DIY setup to adhere the wires to each other?

I have never welded, but always wanted to learn. Only power source I have outside is 110v and off a long extension cord. Recently came across brazing so that caught my eye. I have a Bernzomatic 8000 (lists "light brazing"), but also seeing specialty brazing torches with gases beyond propane.

Was targeting galvinzed wire for cost, but see about fumes, so considering stainless. Likely will coat with a plastic spray. Application is in freezer. Budget wise, squarely in the low end of HF or Vevor atm.

Bought a 4 bone back before Christmas, wet aged in the fridge in original cryovac, cut off two 1 bone+ pieces to foodsave and freeze for later.

Just saw them and surprised by the color of the blood. Pictures do not quite do it justice, almost got a hint of green to it. I freeze a lot of beef, but not bone-in. I also noticed see the ice pockets.

I know I should have done something to protect to the plastic from bone, want to think I did, but no memory if I actually did.

I had installed a nice little command hook towel bar on this cabinet (sink in corner - own horror story). Stopped using as the water obviously destroyed my cabinet finish. Realistically what I can do to repair this and not make it standout vs the rest of the kitchen?
