This is the state of my Vanagon project after about five moths of work in my free time. Upholstery by my wife!

    The Subaru ej22 is a popular engine for people to swap into vintage VWs as the the flat-four piston arrangement is similar to the air-cooled “pancake” engines that came in the VWs. If I can find a cheap enough donor car, I will be putting an ej22 in my VW bus

  • Is there a way to increase speed to a remote server? I’m seeing a 90% decrease compared to my local server.

    I decent 1080p video file can be around 3 Mbps. I thought my setup would be fine since I pay for 30 Mbps upload speeds, but it seems I don’t actually achieve that outside of my local area. I would fear that a cloud machine would suffer the same rate limit

    I’ve seen it. Honestly would not recommend. It’s silly as you’d expect but it’s very amateur and not very good

  • My Vanagon doesn’t like to idle from a cold start. I’m thinking vacuum leak, anything else I should test?

    1. Original fuel and ignition though the fuel pump, lines, plugs, and other wear items are fairly new. I’m pretty sure that the boots from the intake manifold are not creating a good seal so more air than the MAF is counting is getting in. I’ll replace those and see if the issue persists.

    Since it is a ceiling fan you’re going to want it to be strong. I see two options here

    Get a tap set and re-thread the holes a little larger and get new bolts

    Or

    Bolt the bracket for the fan to the stud directly instead of using the electrical box. Lots of fan bases are large enough that you can do this while still being able to hide the electrical box under it

  • One thing I’ve noticed in my initial Lemmy experience is that there can be many duplicate communities across servers. I’d like to be able to quickly see in the search bar which communities have the most subscribers
