which model?

Do they sell replacement parts?

Not just the silicone ring, but also replacement sensors, PCBs, heating elements, etc?

Are you suggesting the old Instant Pots are more durable than the new ones? If so, should I try to buy a used one? If so, from before what year?

what broke? was the replacement part available to repair it?

How could monitoring a firewall log protect you from a Publishing Infrastructure Compromise or MITM attack? It would just show the malicious image being downloaded from the expected source…

Because the hash comes from the same source as the image itself.

So if someone compromised the publishing infrastructure (or does a MITM attack), they can trivially maliciously modify the hash as easily as they can maliciously modify the image. It provides zero security to Publishing Infrastructure compromise.

A good historical example of this happening was when monero’s release infrastructure was comprimised. And here’s a great list of historically relevant cases where this happened:

• https://github.com/cncf/tag-security/tree/main/community/catalog/compromises

In the case of Monero, the users were able to verify that the release was malicious – because the cryptographic signature was invalid, and it was fixed very fast. If the user can only check checksums, they have literally no way to detect if the publishing infrastructure or a MITM attack is taking place.

Oh, you’re in luck. The UK makes the most durable boots on the planet

I’d recommend the Euro Safety Boot as a starting point.

Stick to anything with the “vegetan micro” uppers. It’s the synthetic leather that the luxury yachts and cars switched-to decades ago, because it’s wayy more durable than leather. And (nearly) zero maintenance.

Here’s a review of their airseals after 7 years of abuse.

What’s the griddle made-of? Does it have aluminum in it?

I recommend buying a brompton bicycle.

The rack being super low means the distance between the rear rack and the saddle is almost the exact height of a good backpack. IMHO, it’s the best way to carry a backpack on a bicycle

Edit: Brompton’s small front O-bag is actually made by Ortlieb. I wouldn’t recommend their bags as backpack replacements. They work great on bicycles, but not so much on your back (where the weight should actually be on your hips)

There is no such thing as a BIFL waterproof backpack.

Buy a BIFL pack with a good aluminum internal frame, and then also add to your cart:

1. A waterproof cover for your pack
2. A pack of very thick (construction-grade) garbage bags

The garbage bag is your pack liner. Leave it inside the pack at all times. It keeps everything inside your bag dry.

To keep the pack itself fairly dry in light rain, you can put the waterproof pack cover on the outside. This will just make your pack quicker to dry when you get to your destination.

I thought Meyer was one of those mega corp crap brands?

Have you ever dropped a cast iron dutch oven half a meter onto the glass-topped induction cooktop?

Which brand was it that warped? So we know to avoid them.

Do you have a link to a source with more info on the needed minimum thickness of the outer magnetic layer? I imagine there’s a point of diminishing return, and I’d love to see some research showing the efficacy of various thicknesses of this outer magnetic layer.

I guess I should have mentioned that this is for a community house whose kitchen will be shared with others.

I’m afraid one of my younger housemates will break the induction glass cooktop with cast iron. And I certainly can’t expect them to take care of the seasonings on the pans. That’s why I was thinking (3-ply) stainless steel. It’s more, err, forgiving
