To people negging about the CPU being under powered:

File sharing, media management, a couple of services for a handful of clients... It's perfectly fine.

At 10W in with a tiny footprint it's great when you don't need any more computing power and next winter electricity bill drops.

Not everybody needs a full racks of decommissioned Xeons and arrays on arrays of RAIDs that draw juice like an industrial fruit press regardless it's in use or not.

I may be a little late with this one in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook... I'm here to get away from all of those.

Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse doesn't have to exist in contrast to other social media.

It can just be.

Carbon filter for kitchen hood fan (kbin.social)

My kitchen stove hood fan needs a new carbon filter as the current one lookes pretty caked with grease from the previous owners of the place. It turns out the manufacturers filters cost €150 which I find a bit excessive. Filters seem to be the printer ink of the kitchen.

So I'm thinking either if it is possible to clean out the current one, or reuse the casing and refill it with some bulk carbon filter material, if there is such to be found.

I have no idea, I've never done anything of this sort before.

Experiences, ideas, suggestions much appreciated.

Edit: There is a metal mesh under that is washable, but also an internal filter, as the hood is recirculating the air back into the kitchen. My apartment building does not allow kitchen fan exhaust into the ventilation system.
