I’m running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Works great.

I have heard firsthand that investigators just go for the car instead of the phone since it is way easier to get data from the car.

Updated to OpenSuSE Leap 16.0 with the autotool and it broke some things, but nothing terrible. Had to fix network config and add back Packman for ffmpeg for Jellyfin to work but that was about it

Using it right meow. Didn’t even know this was happening till I saw this post.

Pfblocker. This one is yuuuuge.

Lineage.

Then the fun stuff, jellyfin, zoneminder, etc.

So does Mint though

Someone’s forgotten Cyrix

Oh lucky you, those are awesome.

AC in a 240 huh…you have to block off time in Outlook for onramps.

I still have my gasser W116 (also with crank windows lol) but havent ordered parts in forever. I think I used to use Peachparts sometimes? And EBay of course.

The locks and AC are probably related. Even the manual AC has vacuum pods I think. Buy a Mityvac and start chasing vacuum leaks. Probably cracked runner connectors, but if your trans shifts 1-2 hard too there’s a bigger leak.

Timing chain can be done in the car. Get the manual on CD, shows you everything.

Keep mechanical oil gauge, electric ones are junk. Bet you anything the flare fitting on the back is just loose. Screw it down, or replace the gauge with another one.

You’ll probably get a keybhang or two resolved by wiggling before your key gets stuck. Keep a light key chain and I think a little graphite lube in the lock helps, but you can preemptively just replace it with a new cylinder from Mercedes, keyed to your code. Or you used to be able to. At any rate a hung key is bad juju.

Ive owned a lot of old diesel Mercedes. Yes, it will run forever but you have to adjust the valves and check the chain stretch annually and no one will do this for you so you will be stained black from diesel engine oil. All the accessories will stop working including the electric windows, except the oil pressure gauge and the speedometer which doesn’t matter in a 240 anyway. The drivers seat will lean outboard and the ignition cylinder will break and leave your key stuck in ACC. The subframe bushings will go and you’ll be waggling your tail at everyone behind, you hot little diesel tart.

I was wondering what djb was up to lately. Glad to see he is still poking bears.

Here’s an actual good book:

Is that two a day 2 8 oz glasses of beer or wine each or 2oz of booze with an oz of liqueur? Because there is a vast difference here.

Measuring by calories can be extremely eye-opening as well. One old fashioned is about 200 calories.
