my hot water line is too long for my dishwasher
  • it was connected to hot water when i moved in; i simply left it that way. i’ll definitely give the manual another look to see if that’s configured correctly.

    it does pump at least some water as the dishes come out wet. they come out fairly wet too, which was another signal that maybe the water wasn’t hot enough.

    ETA: the manual does specify it should be hooked up to hot water

  • my hot water line is too long for my dishwasher
  • yeah i did turn up the temp on the heater. i’m 99% sure the correct line is hooked up. i checked it earlier today, but at this point i’m willing to entertain the idea i’m reading that wrong.

    insulation is an idea i hadn’t thought of, although i’m not sure how much exposed line i can access.

    phone in a ziplock is an interesting idea for sure! i happen to have some old Android devices from work that would be great for this.

    i appreciate the response 🙏

    my hot water line is too long for my dishwasher

    hey! i don’t particularly want to post on Reddit, and i just found this community. hopefully there’s someone here who can help.

    don’t let me jump to a conclusion here (the good ole X/Y problem we call it in software).

    i recently moved into a new house, and my dishwasher’s performance has been next to useless. the first weekend i moved in it had a leak detected so i took the opportunity to take the whole mfer all the way apart and clean the filter and check all the guts. (i ended up removing the sensor completely cuz the false positives were driving me nuts; also this experience made me start distrusting the machine itself)

    after this, the residue from the detergent went away, but it wasn’t cleaning anything that wasn’t just something i could rinse off in the sink. i ran dishes through 3, 4, 5, 6 times. in the meantime i started pre-heating my water before starting the machine, based on advice from this Technology Connections video. finally today i hand washed most of the dishes so i could use the dishwasher cleaner i bought.

    the dishwasher cleaner was this product: “Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner: Fight Grease and Limescale, 1 Count”. the idea being if there is some excess lime built up the pressure may not be adequate. the way it’s meant to work (i assume) is you remove a sticker to expose a wax plug that is melted by the heat of the water during the cycle. i set the dishwasher to the most intense setting: heavy wash, extra hot, sanitize. took the thing 3 hours to complete the cycle. i come back, and the wax plug is 100% intact. thus the conclusion: the water isn’t getting hot enough during the cycle even with preheating. based on this i’m assuming that my water line is simply too long for such a modern machine, which (assuming based on the video) is trying to minimize water waste and not sampling enough hot water to get up to normal operating temperature.

    the reviews of the machine seem positive, and negative reviews don’t indicate this as a normal issue regarding the effectiveness of the machine.

    hope someone can help, because it’s currently an overpriced drying rack for my hand washed dishes.

    Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever
  • without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.

    Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.

    and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit

  • Linus Torvalds & Bill Gates
  • eh Bill doesn’t really pull any levers at MS these days, and Linus already got the moral victory of the Linux kernel running on Windows and basically powering their entire cloud business.

  • SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
  • fuckin weird that an extension would inject invalid JSON into an API payload. if you’re gonna make a shady plugin at least test it lol

    anyway, if that’s truly the issue i’d be worried about what my extensions were doing, personally.

  • SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
  • i would start by seeing what the actually API response is. i haven’t used OpenWebUI, but to me this looks like some kind of error response from the server. you could use an API tester like Bruno. also check your Ollama logs to see if it’s getting the request and any other output there.

  • Browser Alternatives to Chrome
  • if you really want to stick it to Google you have to go for Firefox or something derived from it. Chromium gives Google a ton of leverage to push features to all of their downstreams. not sure what engine these are using, but i also prefer to use Firefox because it’s open source. if these were open source you could easily see which engine they’re using.

  • jemalloc Postmortem
  • wow i had no idea development had stalled by this much. we are just now evaluating allocators for our Rust cloud services, and there are a lot of tribal debates between jemalloc and mimalloc with little to biased evaluation. i’m curious what a sufficient analysis even looks like

  • Google quietly paused the rollout of its AI-powered ‘Ask Photos’ search feature
  • it’s so much worse than the normal search. i would search for “dog” or “pasta” or “house” and get a pretty good result, but this conversational shit is just plain worse. and the “conversational” aspect is useless

  • Lawsuit from University of Central Florida professor targeted for tweets survives summary judgment motions
  • is there such a thing as “legitimate criticism” against an entire race of people? this writer is bonkers, and you can tell from the intro. seems like the actual content of the post was buried beneath the first paragraph where a rare few would find it. maybe it was wrong or illegal to fire this guy for being a racist asshole (being a state funded org or something?), but couching it in this narrative of “cancel culture” and “a violation of the first amendment” has fashy vibes to me. institutions should be allowed to control the narrative set by their employees. i understand that as part of my company my words reflect on them, and it’s up to their discretion whether they want to continue to associate with me based on the things i say. you have every right to say racist shit on your favorite fascist-owned platform, but everyone else has the right to tell you to fuck off.

    also big downvote for posting this in a technology community

  • What is the best way to create an android app in 2025?
  • it’s just a lot of complexity, especially if you’re targeting only Android. it’s single threaded and not native to the platform. you’ll be behind on platform versions and have to find shims for everything. you’ll run into weird issues for which the fixes are not supported by the native platform. the more layers you put in between you and the native runtime, the more things can go wrong

  • What is the best way to create an android app in 2025?
  • Android Studio and Jetpack Compose is going to be the path of least resistance, but i’d need to hear more requirements to make a real recommendation (besides try to avoid React Native unless you have a really good reason)

  • help me choose a cycling computer?

    howdy everyone!

    i’ve been trying to diversify my fitness routine, and i live in a bicycle town with lots of great trails (so they tell me). i’m wanting to get into gravel biking because i have too much to live for to get smashed by a car or modify my collar bone with a tree (jk y’all are cool i’m just a wuss).

    one thing i really enjoy is the data part of my workouts, but i’m increasingly wary of putting my data into walled gardens like Apple Fitness or even Strava to a certain extent. and i have the technical know-how to store and curate my own data if needed (4 years as a professional Android developer and 15 years of programming experience). i’ve been advised to get a cycling computer, but many of my friends aren’t so technical and just grab whatever “Garmin” they can afford. and the folks at the shops will have little knowledge of underlying OS versions or chipsets or whatever.

    so i wanted to reach out to the nerdiest cycling community i could think of and ask about it. i know gadgets in niche spaces can be kind of a wasteland in terms of open source or open API access or whatever, but is there such a device that’s hacker friendly? i don’t need another shitty smartphone strapped to my bike, but i also don’t want to miss any fun data collection features like power delivery (once i fully build out my kit; i’m building this out piecemeal).

    any advice would be appreciated 🙏
