Even without development skills, you can still contribute by helping develop and maintain good documentation for your favourite projects or helping with testing and bug reporting.

The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.

That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.

Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven’t had any issues storing filament long term.

Kanedaaa

NSW Police are a complete joke, if it’s not strip searching minors it’s just good old corruption.

Glad you enjoyed it, there’s some wild stories he has covered. Another favourite of a similar vein is the multipart episode on the early Xbox hacking scene: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/

Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.

A couple of random suggestions:

RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs

Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.

Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4

Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg

Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU

Integrate taint stain to further salt the scroteprint against possible sackspoofing attacks.

I think the world is finally ready for teabag authentication.

I don’t think there’s magic one size fits all answer to this, it really sucks you have to deal with it. Avoid destructive behaviours like drinking until you pass out etc, they won’t help in the long term. Do you have any friends IRL you can call on?

One Cut of the Dead is one that comes to mind, you can watch the zombie movie at the start, and then the rest of the movie is the crazy things that went on in the background to make the movie. It’s a lot of fun.
