2023.06.10 04:51 awa54 Some listening notes as I get acquainted with my new Saga+
The lead-up:
So far I'm finding the bypass mode to be the "best" for my tastes, for a number of reasons ...many will disagree with this opinion, but they don't have my ears, my musical preferences, my exact hardware setup, or my listening room.
I prefer neutral systems and like the sound of my sources enough that I don't want to alter them in any way.
I'm offering my perspective, because lots of "I like" and "best sound" verbiage has been tossed around in regard to the sound of this component, all of which is irrefutable (since it's opinion), but not something that we will all agree on and frequently pretty vague, so I'm going to make an attempt at being a bit more descriptive, it's probably not going to be a revelation for anyone, but I'll try anyway.
This post is covering use with only two tubes and it's based on just a couple of days ownership and a handful of listening sessions, I'll update the thread as my impressions become more informed/opinionated and when I have more tubes to review (they're coming).
*
The system:
All electronics are on a Target welded steel rack, the top shelf is accurately leveled for TT use.
Rega Planar 2 with 3x large IsoBearings replacing the original hard rubber feet
AT-120E MM cartridge (aligned using Mo-Fi Geo Disc system, 1.8g tracking force, anti-skate adjusted using inner groove method)
AQ Wildcat to phono preamp 1.5m
Parasound P/PH-100 phono preamp
AQ Diamondback to Saga+ .5m
Cambridge Audio Azur 851N streameDAC
Media supplied via ethernet cable through a local network hub (1GB), from Serviio software on a dedicated Win 11 mini computer, all data is stored on 1TB 2.5" SSD (not a system volume)
AQ Viper to Saga+ .5m
Schiit Saga+
AQ Viper to amp 1.5m
Adcom GFA-5400
AQ Gibraltar to speakers, single bi-wire configuration, spade lugs at all positions 8ft.
PSB Stratus Gold i, upgraded with doubled AQ Type 4 cable run from crossover to woofer and individual runs of AQ CV-4 from crossover to midrange and tweeter
Speakers sit on 4x hockey pucks each
*
Music sources include CD rips made with Exact Audio Copy at 16bit/44kHz in FLAC format, as well as downloaded FLAC files in 16 or 24 bit depth, 44, 48 and 96kHz. The one record I played was a 12" LP promotional maxi-single, this was definitely not made from a 2nd (or higher) generation stamper as it was distributed in very limited numbers, it also has some big bass, which is the other reason it was chosen.
Formats were electronica, rock, folk, jazz and ambient, instrumental and vocal music (both male and female vocal). No classical music was harmed in the making of this review.
*
The listening:
My take on the stock tube (an anonymous Soviet era 6H8C unit that looks identical to some Sovtek branded units available from retailers as NOS and billed as 6SN7GTs (though some sources claim they're GTB spec), is that it's absolutely awful fresh out of the box ...but had improved to the point where it's moderately competent after running several hours and got even a bit better running over night.
The good is that it isn't at all noisy (this preamp is quieter than many solid state units, when in buffer mode), has OK image depth and localization, doesn't gloss, soften or harmonize over the music overtly and runs very cool.
The bad may be things that a lower end systems or poor source material might not event reveal, but there *is* quite a bit to criticize, as it collapses the sound stage width by about 20% and depth by 30% (referenced to bypass/passive operation), it also has a sort of soft halo or circle of confusion that surrounds all the voices and instruments making them larger than in bypass, as well as adding a noticeable "wooliness" to them. On top of that transient attack is softened and decay is largely lost in the soft haze... for reference, this is a pretty nit-picky criticism, and the "haze" is hard to describe, since it isn't an audible noise floor ...it's kind of like; if the bypass mode has empty black space surrounding all the instruments, then the tube has a soft charcoal gray as the backdrop. It actually sounds like a slight compression effect. Last and in my opinion, most unforgiveable, is that it softens and slightly inflates bass (only emphasizing maybe 50 to 150Hz, which masks overtones and reduces perceived detail?), while suppressing true sub-bass (my speakers have useable output below 25Hz and the room reinforcement takes that even lower, so I hear this effect clearly on a lot of tracks).
*
The other tube is a 1940s(?) National Union 6SN7GT, with black "silvering" inside the upper portion of the envelope. It's used, but has *perfect* triode balance and gm measures at more than 100% of new spec. This tube sounded similar to the supplied tube (*after* that one had broken in!) when cold, and stopped audibly "improving" after about two hours of use. It runs somewhat hotter than the tube Schitt supplied, but still nothing like higher power output tubes.
This tube shares in small part all of the failings of the other, but only in *very* small doses, maybe 20% or less as noticeable as with the 6H8C. It also has an *ever so slight* euphonic sweetness, but it's not overt the way that many tube gain stages are. I expect that some systems might not resolve the differences between the bypass and buffer modes with this tube in place, losing both the good and bad properties in their own lower resolution and tonal coloration (effectively rendering the tube buffer transparent). The sub-bass deficit and less than black background still bother me, but are both much less objectionable than in the 6H8C. The NUs sonic signature, subtle as it is, is even useful in taming the sound of some bad recordings, since the ever so faint reduction in resolution and softer, sweeter presentation counter a portion of the harshness. Some listeners will undoubtedly feel that this makes the tube "better" than bypass.
*
Phono listening gave the same results as digital media, but didn't reveal the sub-bass issue (since there usually isn't any on an LP), the slight bass lift and softening was heard though.
*
Now some comments on the passive/bypass mode: it's virtually indistinguishable from a direct connection to the Cambridge streamer: detail, stage width/depth, image placement, tonal balance, all fully intact as well as dynamics and the amazing slam and drive that this component delivers (which it does without any compromise to the subtlety of the music). An A/B/X with matched levels might reveal *something*, but turning off, cable swapping, then powering up again between listening, leaves me with the feeling that all I did was swap remotes, not add or remove a component from the chain.
*
I have a theory about the sub-bass effect when in the tube buffer mode: it's that the Saga+ effectively reduces the output impedance of the Cambridge unit (despite being created to *improve* that parameter), which in turn compromises the bass drive... The streamer has a fairly beastly 46ohm output impedance, while Saga+ is 180ohms (really very respectable). It's not like my cables are reactive, or the Adcom is a tough load to drive, but I think it may be just enough to have caused the suppressed sub-bass output.
*
That's all for now.

Using common hardware store parts what is your idea for the most simple/cheapest possible design for an adjustable rear sight?
Looking for something adjustable for both windage and elevation using either a v notch or a peep hole. I picture something like a grease gun or AR-7.
Curious to hear if anyone has attempted this. Thanks for any input.

2023.06.10 03:28 TelephoneSilent1081 Unleashing the Power of Crypto Security: The Rise of Hardware Wallets
Introduction:
As the world of cryptocurrencies continues to gain momentum, the security aspect of this new financial landscape is becoming more and more essential. The concept of decentralization and the anonymity of transactions inherent in cryptocurrencies make them an attractive target for hackers. However, crypto enthusiasts have responded to these challenges by developing innovative solutions, such as hardware wallets. Hardware wallets represent one of the most secure approaches to store and manage cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will explore the advantages of using hardware wallets and provide tips to choose the best one for your needs.
Presentation:
The Need for Crypto Security
Cryptocurrencies have brought about a new era of decentralized finance, but they have also opened the door for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to users' funds. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology means that there is no central authority to protect user funds, making it a prime target for hackers. Due to this, it is essential to have a secure wallet that can protect your digital assets.
Types of Crypto Wallets
Crypto wallets come in different types and forms but can be broadly categorized into three: software, paper, and hardware wallets. Software wallets are the most common and are often free to use. They store your private keys on your device, making them vulnerable to hacking attacks. Paper wallets are a more secure option, but they are not as convenient as software wallets. Hardware wallets are the most secure option, offering a balance between security and convenience.
Advantages of Hardware Wallets
Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, making them less susceptible to hacking attacks. They are immune to malware and viruses that could compromise your digital assets. Additionally, they are portable, allowing you to carry your assets with you wherever you go. Hardware wallets are also user-friendly, making them an excellent choice for beginners.
Tips for Choosing the Best Hardware Wallet
Hardware wallets are an essential part of securing your digital assets. It is crucial to find a hardware wallet that fits your needs and offers the right balance between security and convenience. Ledger hardware wallets are a reputable option, and their website is a great place to start when choosing a wallet. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your digital assets are secure and that you are always in control of your finances.

Tips for Choosing the Best Hardware Wallet
- Security Features: The most crucial feature when selecting a hardware wallet is security. Look for wallets with multiple layers of security, including PIN codes and two-factor authentication.
- Compatibility: Ensure that the hardware wallet is compatible with the cryptocurrencies you wish to store.
- User Interface: The wallet's user interface should be easy to navigate and understand, even for beginners.
- Reputation: Look for wallets from reputable manufacturers with a track record of producing high-quality products.
- Customer Support: Choose a wallet with excellent customer support to help you troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

2023.06.10 03:03 Small_Fruit_9616 Pendant lightbulb replacement
I thought it would be an easy job to replace the lightbulbs in two pendant lights but it's proven to be a huge problem. The pins from the bulbs are fused to the pendant base, and I can't get them out. The white plastic piece on one of them also broke off entirely. I am not sure what this piece is even called, and I went to two hardware stores where they told me completely opposite things.
One said that I should be able to take the white plastic piece apart and put on a new one, but that's not possible as the gold metal piece inside the white prevents it from being removed. And at Home Depot they said they don't even sell these. Do I need an electrician?

2023.06.10 03:00 vk6flab [OC] Discussion: What is our legacy?
Our hobby has been around for over a century. The Wireless Institute of Australia, or WIA, is the oldest amateur association on the globe, having just marked 113 years since formation. The American Radio Relay League, or ARRL, is four years younger, founded in 1914.
I'm mentioning these two associations because they documented their journey through many of the years since foundation. The ARRL has published QST magazine since 1915 and the WIA has published Amateur Radio Magazine since 1933.
Before the Internet and the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications, magazines like QST and AR Magazine were some ways of documenting and archiving achievements across our community.
If you find my professional biography online, you'll read: Experienced polyglot IT professional, software developer, trouble shooter, researcher, public speaker, educator, writer and publisher, founder and small business owner, podcaster, and licensed radio amateur.
It's fair to say that I've done a great many things across the technology arena. I have been writing software since before I was a teenager. At the time we used words like freeware and shareware, we copied lines of BASIC from the pages of the latest computer magazine, or recorded the TV teletext signal to access a programme. I recall typing pages of hexadecimal codes and running the result. Very satisfying to make sprites running across your screen.
In the decades since, technology has moved on. I've had a front-row seat to see that evolution happen. I've also witnessed one of the victims of the 1980's computer craze, the fundamental obliteration of its history. Much has been lost, either physically by destruction or disposal of boxes of magazines or the deterioration of audio cassette tapes once used to store software. I hold a Guinness World Record of Endurance Computing, set in 1989 during the Hobby Computer Club days, but you'll not find it anywhere other than a copy of the Dutch World Records that might be somewhere in my garage, or not. The twice-daily magazine we published over the three days of the event, Elephant News, was lost to time.
I'm mentioning this because this loss is not limited to the 1980's, it's happening here, today. As our hobby evolves into the software realm, we need to consider just how that legacy continues beyond our own lifetime. For example, we have lost access to the fundamentals of how exactly HAM DRM works, we've lost the source for VK Contest Logger to name another, and the collected designs by so-called antenna guru L.B. Cebik W4RNL (SK) are scattered around the Internet, but as far as I know, none of it is complete.
Fortunately we have tools at our disposal to keep our history. As I mentioned, the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications or DLARC is an Internet Archive project to catalogue and store current and historic amateur media. In the 30 weeks since starting in October 2022, it now has 75,000 items and continues to grow under the expert stewardship of Program Manager, Special Collections, Kay, K6KJN.
The DLARC is not the only tool at our disposal and documentation isn't the only way we share technology in our hobby. More and more of what we do is based around software. We use programs to process signals, to generate and receive different modes, to create logs, to model antennas, to log propagation, and that list grows daily.
One of the most significant changes in software since my childhood is that of the introduction of Open Source Software in 1998. I've spoken about this several times before and I recently pointed at Not1MM as an example of an Open Source contest logger, but that is not the only project available.
If you visit GitHub.com and search for "amateur radio", you'll discover over a thousand projects showing a healthy ecosystem of activity from people like Daniel EA4GPZ who shared gr-satellites, a collection of telemetry decoders that support many different amateur satellites.
You'll find APRSdroid by Georg D01GL, which allows radio amateurs to view and report locations using the APRS network.
There's an Arduino based rotator interface by Anthony K3NG, an advanced ham radio logger called CQRLOG by Petr OK2CQR, a radio modem by Dan KF7IJB, remoteAudio by Tobias DH1TW, and the list goes on.
I must also point out that I'm only naming the person behind the repository because as is the whole point of Open Source software, anyone can contribute in different ways. You can make a copy of the source-code and write your own version, a so-called fork, or you can create trouble-tickets to explain a bug or problem, there's ways of contributing fixes and ideas and all of that can be done by anyone anywhere. Many of the projects I've just shared are a combination of years of effort by many different people.
And that is the point of this conversation. Amateur Radio is a collaborative affair. We learn and share from the experience of others. We document how we built a schematic, or an antenna, or managed to achieve some feat and share that with the rest of the community.
It's not limited to hobbyist projects either. I purchased my Analog Devices ADALM-Pluto SDR hardware specifically because it was Open Source and came with all manner of tools and code that I could tease apart, improve on and change to my own requirements.
As we make more and more use of technology in our hobby, we run the risk of repeating the mistakes of the 1980's if we don't start making our efforts public and accessible to the community at large.
Imagine what our hobby would look like if we stopped sharing our successes and failures.
So, next time you want to look at some software to use, a calculator to build, or a thing you've learnt, consider what a technology appropriate way to share that might be.
What tools do you use today and how many of them are Open Source? How much of what you do is accessible to others and what happens if you stop paying for the hosting fees on your website?

2023.06.10 02:53 Francis_Shaw How to implement adult-content filtering on your devices/local network
As-salamu alaykum.
So I've seen a lot of posts on this subreddit asking for information on how to setup technical restrictions against accessing websites that host pornographic content on the Internet.
I have a background in networking and network security, and personally implement some of the following controls on my personal devices to prevent even accidental access to sites that host sexually explicit content. So I thought I would share some knowledge here in the hope that it would help people here.
I'd like to preface this by noting that there are multiple solutions available to restrict what sites can be accessed. You can do this either on a specific device/host exclusively, or across the entire network as a whole, which in turn applies filtering to every device on the network.
I don't know exactly what type of solution is most fitting to your environment, but I'll cover both host-level and network-wide content blocking capabilities in this post. I'm not going to dive into protocols; because that knowledge isn't required and if you want to learn more, the Internet is available for that.
The easiest method to block adult sites is to use a public DNS resolver that is configured to filter websites that host adult content/pornography.
Essentially you configure a DNS sinkhole resolver as the recursive resolver for your device exclusively. Your device will send it's DNS queries to the external resolver, the resolver will examine it's blocklist database to see whether the site you requested is present. If it's not, it will resolve the query, thus sending you to the site. If the site is present in the blocklist, see the definition I wrote for DNS sinkholing.
If you don't know how to configure a DNS server on your device, Google has provided a comprehensive guide on how to do this for their DNS service on popular operating systems. Just replace their DNS server address with the one you want to use.
This webpage by AdGuard provides a a list of reliable and reputable public DNS resolvers available. Simply find the addresses that correspond to 'Family' or 'Adult' filtering for each service.
Some examples:
This is another method to use DNS filtering on a host. This method requires installing a piece of software that will allow you to customise the DNS filtering configuration further than simply specifying a resolver.
This is also generally quite easy to deploy. Software required is generally in the form of a mobile application, desktop program or web browser extension. I recommend either an application or program.
After installing the software you then need to configure the blocklists. This is generally quite easy and only requires you to specify the web address of the raw blocklist.
An example is AdGuard
This method is a bit different. This can be deployed on your home wireless/wired router, or an always-on server. For example, a Raspberry Pi, or any computer that you would leave powered on 24/7. You can also do this using virtualised hardware, although this will require you to spend money.
I'll briefly explain how this works.
If you're not familiar with Linux and don't want to learn, I would recommend against this method. However, I would also note that AdGuard Home supports Windows, but I haven't tried this.
This is another method of host-level filtering. Let's say you don't want to use a DNS service to filter content and want to manually control what sites can be accessed on your device. Well, you're a madman/woman.
The hosts file wasn't intended for this purpose and I wouldn't recommend this method, but it's good if you only want to block a relatively small pool of sites, or configure a number of rewrites. I'll get to rewrites in a second.
A hosts file is simply a blocklist that is stored locally on your device. On Windows you can find the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and on *NIX at /etc/hosts or /private/etc/hosts.
These guys have made a good blog post on how to edit and save your hosts file.
When you're editing your hosts file simply add the web address of the site you want to block, then ensure the IP mapping is 0.0.0.0
An example: 0.0.0.0 www.google.com
You can also paste entire blocklists within your hosts file however I would also advise against this.
Rewrites are simply specifying an exact address for a specific domain, instead of sinkholing the query.
For example, if I wanted to send www.explicitsite[.]com to 142.250.187.206. Which is the IPv4 address for a server hosting www.google.com
You simply add the mapping: 142.250.187.206 www.explicitsite[.]com to your hosts list without the square brackets. From now on, when you visit that site it will redirect to google.com
I also wanted to touch upon this as it can be very beneficial. This is where rewrites can be quite useful.
You might be aware of the 'Safe' search feature within common search engines. This feature filters out explicit content from search results. However, this can usually be disabled quite easily.
DNS rewrites can force the 'Safe' search function within a search engine by forcing the client to go to the 'Safe' version of the search engine every time the domain for the engine is queried.
* This can't be done if you can't access your hosts file or you're not using host-level DNS filtering in software.
* This can be done if you can access your hosts file, using AdGuard Home/PiHole, or you're using host-level DNS filtering in software.
The following links show you how to specify rewrites to lock safe search for both Google and Bing.
If you use another search engine you can probably easily find the safe search address for your engine if it's available.
(Use the 'raw' links to add them to your filtering software)
Also look into regular expressions and adblock and hosts file filtering syntax if you want to customise the filtering configuration even further.
That's all from me. If you do have any questions or are stuck, read the material I've linked first, then drop a comment and I will try to help. And if anyone thinks I missed something out, or that they can add to this in the comments, please do.

I'm not going to dive into protocols; because that knowledge isn't required and if you want to learn more, the Internet is available for that.
What is a blocklist and is DNS sinkholing?
- A blocklist is simply a resource which computers, which act as DNS resolvers, examine before making a decision when handling DNS queries. In easier to understand words. A blocklist is a list of websites that host specific unwanted content or are known to be 'bad' i.e. not reputable/malign. This can be adult content, gambling, social media, advertising, trackers, malware, typosquatting domains etc.
- DNS sinkholing is a method of content filtering whereby computers, which act as DNS resolvers, purposely fail to resolve DNS queries. Or by resolving the query to a non-routable address such as 0.0.0.0. In easier to understand words, when a device attempts to query the address of a specific website that exists in a blocklist, the DNS resolver will point that device to an address which can't be reached. In turn blocking access to the site.
Host-level DNS filtering using a configured resolver
Essentially you configure a DNS sinkhole resolver as the recursive resolver for your device exclusively. Your device will send it's DNS queries to the external resolver, the resolver will examine it's blocklist database to see whether the site you requested is present. If it's not, it will resolve the query, thus sending you to the site. If the site is present in the blocklist, see the definition I wrote for DNS sinkholing.
If you don't know how to configure a DNS server on your device, Google has provided a comprehensive guide on how to do this for their DNS service on popular operating systems. Just replace their DNS server address with the one you want to use.
This webpage by AdGuard provides a a list of reliable and reputable public DNS resolvers available. Simply find the addresses that correspond to 'Family' or 'Adult' filtering for each service.
Some examples:
Host-level DNS filtering using software
This is also generally quite easy to deploy. Software required is generally in the form of a mobile application, desktop program or web browser extension. I recommend either an application or program.
After installing the software you then need to configure the blocklists. This is generally quite easy and only requires you to specify the web address of the raw blocklist.
An example is AdGuard
Network-wide DNS filtering
On your router
This method is dependent on whether your router supports specifiying DHCP or upstream DNS server addresses.- First you need to access the routers web interface using a web browser. This is usually 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 10.0.0.1 or 10.1.1.1. If it's not one of these, you'll need to find it out. NordVPN have written a good blog post on how to do this.
- After you've got your routers local address, head into a web browser and input the address into the address bar to access the web interface. After this, you need to log in to the interface using the username and password of the router. Lifewire have written an article on how to do this, including how to find your username and password.
- After you're into the interface, you can now adjust the default DNS settings. Find the section of the web interface that allows you to specify either both, or one of, the DHCP DNS address or DNS upstream resolver. And similarly, you paste/type in the address of the public DNS resolver that uses filtering. See the host-level section for examples.
On an end device (local DNS recursive resolver)
This method uses specialised software which you will need to install. The most commonly used software solutions for network-wide filtering are PiHole and AdGuard Home. They are both free and open-source.I'll briefly explain how this works.
- Install and setup your local resolver.
- Access the web interface of the resolver and configure blocklists, rewrites, DNS upstream resolvers and other settings.
- Change your routers DHCP DNS address to that of your newly setup local resolver.
- Reboot the router to force all devices connected to the network use the local resolver.
If you're not familiar with Linux and don't want to learn, I would recommend against this method. However, I would also note that AdGuard Home supports Windows, but I haven't tried this.
Host-level hosts file filtering
The hosts file wasn't intended for this purpose and I wouldn't recommend this method, but it's good if you only want to block a relatively small pool of sites, or configure a number of rewrites. I'll get to rewrites in a second.
A hosts file is simply a blocklist that is stored locally on your device. On Windows you can find the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and on *NIX at /etc/hosts or /private/etc/hosts.
These guys have made a good blog post on how to edit and save your hosts file.
When you're editing your hosts file simply add the web address of the site you want to block, then ensure the IP mapping is 0.0.0.0
An example: 0.0.0.0 www.google.com
You can also paste entire blocklists within your hosts file however I would also advise against this.
What are rewrites?
For example, if I wanted to send www.explicitsite[.]com to 142.250.187.206. Which is the IPv4 address for a server hosting www.google.com
You simply add the mapping: 142.250.187.206 www.explicitsite[.]com to your hosts list without the square brackets. From now on, when you visit that site it will redirect to google.com
Forcing 'Safe' search within search engines
You might be aware of the 'Safe' search feature within common search engines. This feature filters out explicit content from search results. However, this can usually be disabled quite easily.
DNS rewrites can force the 'Safe' search function within a search engine by forcing the client to go to the 'Safe' version of the search engine every time the domain for the engine is queried.
* This can't be done if you can't access your hosts file or you're not using host-level DNS filtering in software.
* This can be done if you can access your hosts file, using AdGuard Home/PiHole, or you're using host-level DNS filtering in software.
The following links show you how to specify rewrites to lock safe search for both Google and Bing.
If you use another search engine you can probably easily find the safe search address for your engine if it's available.
Pornography blocklists I recommend
Also look into regular expressions and adblock and hosts file filtering syntax if you want to customise the filtering configuration even further.
2023.06.10 02:29 Intheshaw1 (WTS) Fire Hose Steel Target Hangers
Timestamp. https://imgur.com/a/fCvNLXT
Selling fire hose for hanging steel targets, no hardware included but easily found at any hardware store. Fire Hose is THE way to hang steel targets as they can take tons of rounds before breaking, unlike chains. Made from decommissioned fire hose so there may be some dirt/stains from use.
https://imgur.com/a/dGcd1Ze
Hose is approx 2.5" wide, holes are approx 1" from each end. Grommets are approx. O.48" ID (easily fits 3/8 mounting hardware, could probably force in 1/2") or without grommets the holes are approx 0.55" and ends burnt to prevent frying.
I personally run a grommet on one side with 1/2" hardware in the hole without a grommet and have used it this way for years. I set up my own poor man's plate rack with 2x4s, saw horse brackets and some hooks to hang targets.
https://imgur.com/a/VqwvyaE
12" hangers - $5 each
18" hangers - $6 each
New Wrap around Version - $7 each
These are 24" in total length and wrap around anything 2x4 size or smaller. Hanging length from the bottom of the 2x4 is approx 14". Grommets on the hanging end only.
https://imgur.com/a/J1hEWKX
Hose by the foot - $2/ft (This is dirtier hose than I'd like for making hangers but still fully functional).
Shipping is a flat $5, minimum $20 order, PayPal F&F or Venmo. Let me know if you want grommets on one side, both sides, or none at all.
Mix and match 10 hangers or more for free shipping, 25 hangers or more for free shipping and 10% off.
Please comment here and PM me with your order or if you have any questions.

2023.06.10 02:28 TelephoneSilent1081 The Cold, Hard Truth: Why Hardware Wallets Are Crucial for Cryptocurrency
Introduction:
Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm in recent years, with Bitcoin soaring to new heights of prominence. As more people explore the world of cryptocurrency investments, they soon realize the importance of protecting their digital assets. Enter the hardware wallet. Often referred to as cold wallets, they are the safest way to store your cryptocurrency. In this article, we will delve into the importance of hardware wallets and provide tips for choosing the best one.
Presentation:
Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your private keys offline. Private keys are the codes that allow you to access your cryptocurrency holdings. As long as the hardware wallet is not connected to the internet, you can rest assured that your digital assets are safe from online threats such as hacking and malware.
In contrast, online wallets, also known as hot wallets, are always connected to the internet. This makes them more susceptible to attacks by hackers and other cybercriminals. If your online wallet is hacked, you run the risk of losing your funds.
Hardware wallets come in different forms, but they all function in the same way. They store your private keys securely, making it impossible for third parties to access them. When you want to send or receive cryptocurrency, you connect the hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device and enter your PIN code. This allows you to sign transactions without exposing your private keys to the internet.
When choosing a hardware wallet, it's important to consider the device's security features. A good hardware wallet should be protected by a PIN code and have a backup seed phrase that can be used to recover your funds in case the device is lost or damaged. Additionally, it's important to choose a wallet that supports the cryptocurrencies you want to store.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, hardware wallets are crucial for anyone looking to invest in cryptocurrency. They provide the highest level of security for your digital assets, protecting them from online threats. When choosing a hardware wallet, it's important to consider the device's security features, as well as its compatibility with the cryptocurrencies you want to store.
Tips for Choosing the Best Hardware Wallet:
We recommend using the Ledger Nano X as the best hardware wallet for storing cryptocurrencies. It's a highly secure device that supports over 1,500 cryptocurrencies and has a backup seed phrase for recovery in case the device is lost or damaged. It also features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to easily connect to your mobile device. You can purchase the Ledger Nano X on the Ledger website using the following link: https://bit.ly/3P6mekh.

2023.06.10 01:56 buffasno [REVIEW] Loewe Medium Puzzle from Anna / Jipin Factory
After lusting after a colorblock Puzzle for years, the 6/18 sales finally pushed me over the edge.

Thank you all for your awesome contributions to this community — you got me to this point on my bag journey!

Authentic
Quality - 9.25/10
Accuracy - 9/10
I have manhandled many Puzzle bags in boutiques, department stores, duty frees, and pretty much any time I see one I’m allowed to touch, and the biggest callout for me on this bag is the feel of the leather. Loewe leather is buttery soft and this bag is noticeably drier and stiffer than any auth I have handled. The crossbody strap is crimped where it was folded for shipping and has not been receptive to being reshaped because of how dry it is, but we’ll get there.
Otherwise, the attention to detail on the rep-relevant components of the bag is fantastic. The colors, logo placement, interior lining, and even the number of stitches on the interior tag are dead on. The zippers and strap are branded even in subtle places. I especially love the hardware on the cross-body strap.
Rep Satisfaction Rating - 9.5/10
At less than 10% of the current retail price for auth, I really can’t complain at all about the quality of rep here. It is visually stunning and feels high quality, even if different from the auth. The sticky zippers and kinks on the strap are the only things I’d change, and I think I likely will be able to with conditioning.
Seller Satisfaction Rating - 10/10
Anna is not the warmest nor fuzziest texter but was prompt and no-nonsense in her replies. She sent great PSPs before I’d even asked for them. As a first time buyer, I felt a lot less anxiety than I expected to with how quickly she moved through the process and how much she kept me in the loop.
Cost Performance Ratio - 9.5/10
For $189 USD, I’m very happy with this bag. I bought the medium size in hopes of using it as a personal item carry on after an ancient PU tote bag I got at Nordstrom Rack in high school bit it during my last trip, and I think it’ll be great for that purpose. It’s large enough to fit a water bottle, book, wallet, and travel documents while being small enough to carry as a day bag on vacation. For how much use I’ll get out of this bag, I feel like the cost was well justified. The only performance issue I can see myself getting annoyed with is the zipper, but hey, I wanted a bag that would keep my stuff secure in the airport. If I can’t get in, no one can!
The Wrap Up - 8/10
I don’t live near a Loewe boutique, but I would have no qualms wearing this bag around Nordstrom and perusing this season’s Puzzles. It helps that it’s a discontinued, but not fantasy, colorway; it feels like I can get away with a lot more since it’ll never be directly compared to the same model in store. The difference in leather texture from the auth would likely keep me from letting an SA handle it.
In all, my experience buying from Anna was very different, and in many ways better, than buying through an e-commerce site. This bag is leagues higher quality and more beautiful than the bags I’ve bought from AliExpress and I’m glad to have gone with a high-tier rep for such an intricate, architectural style. It was slightly nerve wracking to send my money into the abyss over PayPal with no guarantee of getting anything in return, but the process of contacting a seller and hashing out details was a lot easier and faster than I’d expected, and over all I found the process a lot more transparent than ordering through AE. Being able to actually track my order via FedEx was a game changer from holding my breath for EMS to (probably never) update, and it's nice to have all communication in one chat. I'm sure it won't be like this every time, but it's nice to know it can be.
Now that I’ve been through the process once, I feel a lot more confident about stepping into the rep big leagues. I am super pleased with this bag and will be impatiently awaiting the 11/11 sale.

Authentic
Quality - 9.25/10
- -0.5 - Zippers - both zippers on this bag look great, but they are rather brittle and fussy to open and close. I don’t know if this is characteristic of this hardware color for the auth bag - purely a quality deduction.
- -0.25 - there is a teeny tiny spot on the front of the bag where it looks like the black edge pigment on the largest front panel ran a bit out of lines, or the brown pigment is chipped. Not noticeable at all unless you’re scrutinizing the bag and likely within auth QC bounds. Photo of this in the My Photos album.
Accuracy - 9/10
- -0.5 - Leather - the leather on this bag is noticeably dry to the touch, and does not feel like the authentic bag.
- -0.25 - Dimensions - this bag is slightly taller and has a shorter handle than the auth. Neither impacts the overall affect of the bag imo.
