Heh, I really have to find out how to not DoS myself whenever a blog article gets pushed via #ActivityPub 🤓
So… in laws had an issue with their web radio “not connecting to the net”. WiFi was always spotty in that location but now it stopped completely. Turns out that thing retrieves a channel list from grundig dot vtuner dot com and while the general vtuner website still works the server for #grundig does time out.

I was just introduced to a more unexpected solution by ‘Dimicator’, who’s work I’m following closely for some years now. Roland suggests waxed cloth even in the fridge and not just for #livingHistory or #reenactment – a very #medieval solution: https://exciting-pioneer-6049.ck.page/posts/historical-crafts-natural-raw-materials He also helpfully explains how to #DIY waxed cloth: https://www.patreon.com/posts/90314554 No first hand experience on this yet but tbf we’re already _not_ wrapping food in _single use_ plastic anyway.
