  • Are you sure it’s 35% ? I’ve found those cheap digital hygrometers to be off by 10-15%.

    I bought a box and some say 10 and some say 20. I ended up buying several different brands and price ranges of hygrometers to try and figure out which ones were correct.

    I use cereal boxes with desiccant and without any active dehumidifier they stay at ~25% despite being frequently opened and closed. So like others suggested, put a large flow-through bin of desiccant in and forget about it.

    Also is that a compressor dehumidifier? I suspect it’s a desiccant wheel because it’s so tiny.






  • They are large and heavy. They are only useful for their virtually infinite life. If the military needed it for a few of their bases, they’d contract it out, a few hundred would be built and that’s it.

    For example a few thousand ISDN adapters were built for the government military. But it lacked corporate support because the Telcos didn’t want it cutting into their profits. So ISDN barely existed for consumers. Consumers suffered with 56k modems for 5-10 years until broadband- which telcos sold for more than a phone line, were immune from all the competition requirements of regular phone lines, plus got TV programming profit.



  • I bought a couple 30" deep 6’ long butcher block counter tops. I coated them with polyurethane sealer and mounted them to the wall with 24" deep brackets mounted to the wall studs. So I have a huge amount of desk space without any clutter of legs underneath. By making it myself, I made the height the exact size for my body. The thick butcher block and stud mounting makes the desk more rigid than any typical store desk/table.

    On the wall is multi board that has 3d printer tools and Gunplamark’s ultimate cereal dryboxes.




  • Are you familiar with remote desktop or ssh? Imagine you ssh in to a remote server and run a command. What resources are being used on your client PC? Same thing with FreeCad running on a remote server and you connecting to it via a web browser as a remote desktop. The client web browser is doing nothing but getting a compressed video stream from the server. Like watching Youtube.
