Mind you that PICTRS__API_KEY is the wrong variable, and should be PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY. I’ve noticed it when Lemmy Thumbnail Cleaner complained about the api key being incorrect. Follow the repo page and check if your variables are correct.
I’ve got a whole 0.5kg bag of coffee for that much in Germany, and that’ll last me almost a month (~25 cups). What’s so good about Starbucks that it costs as much per cup?
So, “flies” from The Invincible? Microbots that pretty much conquered a planet, making it impossible for all life to exist on the planet’s surface. There was no “obeying” them, only dying or leaving.
Dude that wrote that (in 1964 no less) must’ve been a time traveler. Computers back then barely started being miniaturized, there were no home PCs, no smartphones or actual nano tech to speak of. Only recently we’ve started building microbots and nano scale mechanisms.
I did just that a while ago. Seeing on my server what you’ve been seeing in yours I’ve just turned it off for a day or so, and when I turned it on just to be sure that I have to scrap it and start again, it started working just fine. So, I’d say, let it be, let it rest, come back to it later. Or I dunno, maybe it was just a fluke.
I’ve never self hosted, started maybe two years ago. First I’ve started with a Raspberry Pi 3, but quickly decided that 1GB of ram, and limited power was not enough for my needs. I’ve got myself a Dell OptiPlex SFF (used), it came with 16GBs of ram, then I’ve added a 4TB HDD. I’d say, this is an “entry” piece of hardware, as it’s cheap and sips power (around 15-20W at idle). If you don’t need the disk space or much power, go with a micro (whichever manufacturer you chose, HP, Dell, IBM), they’re cute little boxes that make a RasPi seem both underpowered and overpriced (for a used one anyway).
Lead ain’t that dangerous. Just take it out and dispose of it like you do with normal batteries. Clean your hands afterwards and you’re dandy. As for the clock, the battery contacts, and whatever they were attached to, are likely eaten away, but I can’t say that for certain from this photo. If you’re lucky and they’re mostly intact, some IPA scrubbing and a dip in vinegar, and a bit more scrubbing, should take most of the crust away. That rust though, probably some vinegar, maybe a deoxidating agent (like navy jelly?) could clean it off. Even cleaning all of it doesn’t guarantee that it’ll work any way.
