If you buy an ebook from Amazon or another shop, you get a file with (hopefully?) proper quality and that’s it.

But as someone reading older books, Project Gutenberg seems overwhelming. I tried to find all Sherlock Holmes novels to put on my Kindle (using KOreader). But for each novel you can find multiple different files (only counting the epubs) which apparently differ in many ways. Might be the edition of the book, collections, books with or without illustrations, books having proper chapter marks or not, …

How do you deal with this? Is there some „proper“ way to find the ideal file for me?

The same might of course apply to other epub sources, being a very frustrating experience.

 

Ich suche ein paar Kabel zum Basteln mit Arduino, Calliope und Co. Konkret Dupont und Krokodilklemmen (gerne in verschiedenen Größen/Farben/Längen). Könnt ihr einen Online Shop empfehlen der sowas bezahlbar liefert, und nicht gerade Amazon oder AliBaba ist? Ich möchte lieber Europäische Läden unterstützen, aber auch nicht Conrad Preise zahlen.

 

After finishing the great Dracula Daily, I wondered which Dracula movie you would recommend.

I would want all of you to chime in with suggestions. Rules:

  • one movie per top comment
  • one top comment per movie
  • include IMDb link if possible (otherwise we might get several entries just called „Dracula“)
  • no duplicates. If you want to add a comment on an entry, add it to the corresponding entry
  • if you agree with a suggestion, please upvote it.
  • if you think an entry is absolute garbage, feel free to downvote
  • movies that don’t strictly follow the book are more than welcome, but should at least feature a vampire called Dracula

Spielfilm  Deutschland  1992 +++ Kunst- und Antiquitätenhändler "Professor Dr. Knobel" verdient seinen Lebensunterhalt mit genialen Fälschungen – von Gemälden bis zu sensationellen Hitler-Andenken. In einem schwäbischen Dorf stößt Reporter Herrmann Willié von der Hamburger Illustrierten "HH-press" auf Knobel, nachdem er sich mit dem Wrack von Görings einstiger Yacht finanziell ruiniert hat. Als sie sich bei einem bizarren "Kameradschaftsabend" zum Geburtstag des Führers begegnen, nimmt der Skandal seinen Lauf: Knobel präsentiert ein vermeintlich geheimes Tagebuch Adolf Hitlers. Willié wittert die journalistische Sensation und treibt die Story mit allen Mitteln voran. Helmut Dietl inszeniert mit viel Satire den legendären Fälschungsskandal um die Hitler-Tagebücher.

 

I have a questions I haven't found answered anywhere, but maybe someone here can help out.

First, some background:

I have bought this silica gel with indicator a while ago and have used it in my AMS and also for storing my filament in ziplock bags.

I now want to dry some of the silica gel, and have looked at the various options there are. I want to rule out the use of my kitchen appliances, as I am not fully convinced of the silica with indicator being really fully non-hazardous. I also recently bought a Creality Space Pi dryer, which I would like to use for drying my silica as well. Of course I would need to print a container for that, and since I only have PLA and PETG available at the moment, I wouldn't be able to drive the dryer too hot.

Online you can find many different opinions about the ideal drying temperature for silica gel, ranging from 60°C to 145°C.

Efficient energy usage is no big concern for me with this, as my PV modules produce a lot of excess power during the current season.

Question:

What temperature should I dry the silica gel at, and does a longer drying time at lower temperature equal the same results as a quicker drying at higher temperature?

Or does higher temperature actually remove more humidity overall, which a lower temperature can maybe not achieve regardless of time?
