I just tried to click on a couple links formatted in various ways from a "jerboa for lemmy" app and it redirected to a browser (where I am not logged in).

Is there a format friendly to the app, or is there a app config that needs to be updated?

The proper repair is to replace the damaged shingle and anchor (nail) under a undamaged shingle. Shingles have a warrantee of ~15 years when installed like this. Silicon or tar daubs do not have any warrantee, and probably last 1-3 years.

In your case, I think that you may want to buy some spare shingles and take one and cut it to be able to be anchored under the undamaged shingles above the vent and cover the vent pipe nails while having room for the vent pipe. Sorry I can't be more help without pictures.

Edit: I went on a tangent below:

There are a couple spots (like when the roof starts from a wall) where there should be undamaged flashing from the wall that covers the first set of nails.

A quick and dirty trick is to cover the shiner with black silicon and then sprinkle the shingle grit that collects in the gutters on the silicon (so it doesn't decay in the sun, and the repair looks like the rest of the roof).

A less quick and dirtier, but longer lasting fix is to get some roofer fabric and roofer cement, and anchor the fabric under an undamaged single then spread the cement below and above the fabric. It doesn't look great but it will stop leaks from much larger roof cracks (damaged nail base) for a couple years.

There is a "field test kit" briefcase thing that has swabs that if I remember correctly are paper with a little adhesive. After wiping around in the vent (behind the grate) you can lay it on a paper towel and spray with the field test kit spray. In less than 10 mins it will change colors according to the present drugs on the swab that the spray is rated for.

Measure Ghetto by looking at the distance to the nearest predatory loan agency aka Payday or title loans. Drug test the vents. If you do and get a positive for marajuana, it really scares the sellers. Look at the roof for shiners. Shiners are exposed nails that should be properly repaired (not covered with caulk that will last maybe 2 years.)

I am willing to fiddle: I fried the motherboard's graphics card on my laptop and I then replaced it by using the manual alone. Does this require fiddling with software? Does it work out of the box? Some motherboard bios will give overclocking(OC) options. Does Libreboot give OC options, RAID drivers, or boot security options (encrypted OS)? If i wanted to take my current Franken-desktop and switch out the BIOS/UEFI and keep the OS, could this do it gracefully?

I am mostly just curious, but I like the idea of increasing the amount of FOSS on my devices.

Please make a blog post about your migration. I'm in the same boat.

That looks awesome. What about the frame of the wheels cracking the kayak frame? Also, most kayaks go through sandy or muddy ground, would you want fat wheels for better surface area?
