It looks like 440 grade stainless and is non-magnetic. It tried with a very strong Neodymium magnet. Also most mash tuns i’ve seen are either made from a cooler, copper or stainless pot and stirred with a motor in the lid, if they are stirred at all, usually just the sparging arm rotates. I don't think I’ve ever seen one with a magnetic stirrer not even sure how that would work through the grains.

It was a used Keezer I picked up from Craig's list, I took my time disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling / rewiring so now the seller is no longer contactable to ask.

These are solid, not a tube.

The handles are threaded and these are not.

The groove defiantly looks like a detent, the kegs do have a lever that lifts to open them but there is no hole for this to fit.

To big for a beetle, maybe Crazy Frog’s handle bar?

Nope, solid. The angle is about 25° and is the same on both sides. I have four of them all identical. The Keezer is a 4 keg system but nothing I can find shows these as a part for the kegs, regulators, beer faucets, etc.
Made of 440 grade stainless, was included with parts for a keezer so may be related to beer brewing, 1/4 in dia.

Is this hot plate damaged?
AbidingOhmsLaw 5 days ago • 100%
That just looks like discoloration that sheet metal gets with repeated heating. I would investigate the controls, there are contacts that open/close as a bimetallic strip heats up and cools off (basic thermostat). if the contact are arcing or stuck it could over heat, also since you said smoke was coming from the knob. . .

What device can rotate a knob and works with HA?
AbidingOhmsLaw 5 days ago • 100%
Depends on the lock being actuated and the torque of the servo, I have some that can do 4.4 N-m.

A stepper motor would also work for sure.

If you have some electronic skill you can use espHome on a esp32 microcontroller to control an RC Servo motor.

If you want out-of-box there are several electronic locks that will work.

Are there any uses for an old iPad 4th generation for programming?
AbidingOhmsLaw 3 weeks ago • 100%
There are no “real” alternative OS available for apple devices. You can get some IDE “lite” apps like Visual Code, Python Editor, etc. but these a meant as companions to a PC IDE not meant for compiling, linking, testing, etc. You might be able to trade the old iPad for an old laptop you can put a flavor of Linux on.

I have a project that is using a Teensy 4.1, the cheep 5v regulator I was using in the project let the magic smoke out for no good reason. I replaced that but now the Teensy boots and runs for about a min then quits. There is a TLV75733P power IC that is supplying the 3v3 and it gets hot then quits supplying power. Since that IC is $0.46 vs a new Teensy 4.1 ~ $40 I want to try and replace it. I have done a bit of SMD work but not tried to remove a tiny chip with a GND pad before so I’m looking for any tips. The PCB of the Teensy has header pins so I can’t really get good contact to a hot plate to preheat the board.    
I installed Bookworm, Docker and Frigate (in docker) on an older i5 Dell with a Coral TPU (USB) and an old GeForce 6600 GPU, the TPU and GPU are for use with Frigate frame processing and video conversion. It was working well for months and then I upset the apple cart by adding whisper and Piper in the docker for my Home Assistant (different server) to use. After I got that all working I noticed that Debian would freeze after several hours of no user use (no one logged in either on the console or SSH). This seems to happen now even after I removed the Piper and whisper containers. Thinking it might be a suspend issue I masked all the suspend points and set the power profile to “never” but that did not help. Looking at journalctl does not show anything I can see, it seems to just stop logging at the freeze point, interestingly the ethernet jack still shows activity but no ping :( What would be the next troubleshooting steps to find what is causing the freeze?
I discovered some items on clearance at Home Depot, a Wyze Outdoor duplex plug and a Defiant smart plug. Did a little research on the modules I found inside and was pleased that both used esp32 microcontrollers. I got both disassembled, soldered up, and got to work flashing ESPHome, The Wyze was went well and is now integrated into my HA. Unfortunately the Defiant smart plug was defiant and when hooked up to do the flash I got a “Download mode disabled, reset with GPIO0 high.” Researching that I found that newer esp32 chips have a “Secure boot” fuse that once set disables future firmware updates from the UART. Not sure yet if there is an OTA exploit like the with BK7321 toya chips, but i’m not hopefull. If anyone knows of something let me know.
I have an old Raspberry Pi B+ (cica 2015) it came out after the Pi 1s and before the Pi 2s. I would like to use it with a Pi 7” touchscreen to make a touch screen dashboard for my HA. I been trying different solutions I’ve found but most of them make use of chromium in kiosk mode, chromium won’t run on the B+ 🙁. I found several other older solutions but with all of them I’ve run into issues like files can’t be found anymore or have dependencies on libraries that can no longer be found like kweb kiosk browser or use things that are no longer supported by the OS like OTX. Anyone using a B+ for an HA dashboard? Got any tips?
I’ve had this iseebell video doorbell for a few years and a year or so ago their web site disappeared as well as the app from the mobile stores. I still have the app on my phone and it does still work but, since the company seems now be defunct I expect that the app will cease working soon. I’m not thrilled that there is an app and need to proxy through a external server anyway and I would like to add the streams to my Friget/HA setup. Does anyone have any info on the iseebell streams, alternate firmwares, hardware hacks, etc.?
I can’t hit the local analog repeaters without using the higher power on my HTX242 (yeah it’s old but it’s what I got), the HT I have is DMR (and analog) but I would like to use low power DMR to make the battery last longer. I want to do something like this (see pic). Anyone done something similar? Note I already have moded the HTX for COS output and made a control interface using a ESP32, I also have a Pi-star hotspot that I could repurpose until I can get another.
So I got a bunch of these Sylvania Smart+ bluetooth mesh led strips. They are using a RF SoC IC, Telink TLSR8258F1KET32. Does anyone know of a firmware like Tasmota or ESP32Home that would work for that IC?

I have a Pi-Star and a BTECH DMR 6x2 radio, mostly use it with a few talk groups and the quadnet array (XLX307). I would like to use it as a gateway/auxiliary station to allow me to control and do a sort of cross band repeater using an old radio shack 2m radio I have. My shack is in the Garage and I would love to talk on the analog repeater from the house but the HTs I have are just not enough power.
Using the web UI on lemmy.ml (BE:0.18.0) from firefox browser for iPad (v114.2) iPadOS v16.5. When I try to create a post with images using the image icon in the Body section of the create post dialog, the UI prompts to select the image but the image URL is not inserted and the [Preview] does not show the image. After attempting to insert the image several times I will get an error in the bottom right that looks like JSON data with “rate exceeded” in it. I’m assuming this is because the instance server is telling me I tried to upload to much to fast, which would lead me to think that the URLs are getting created on the backend but not being brought to the UI. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any workarounds?
