I’m old enough to remember chemistry sets and they kind of don’t exist any more. Anyway the stuff for making PCB’s overlaps only slightly.

You probably want to first gain some understanding of the stuff you are trying to do, before messing with expensive dangerous chemicals and all that. I like Ken Shiriff’s reverse engineering blog righto.com and maybe you can follow links from there.

I’ve always been told through hole plating is quite difficult. Make some single sided boards first, then double sided using vias to connect stuff across the two sides, before pursuing PTH. But I think home PCB’s aren’t really a thing any more either, at least for digital circuits. You can get super cheap board fab from JLPCB or whatever, instead of trying to do fine enough pad pitch for modern tiny SMT parts.

I’m not used to shitposting being called “content creation” but whatever.

Just be nice, say your romantic feelings are getting to you too much and that you want to back off if you can’t pursue them. Staying open to occasional contact (like by email) is a lot better than cutting the person off completely.

Getting involved with someone with serious mental health issues doesn’t sound like a great idea either, if they’re not under some reasonable level of control.

Just use a sip phone app on your mobile. I use Linphone but there are lots of them.

Just pick up a little bit of French and then when you meet them, you can get by with a mixture of Frenglish, gesturing, cross-language dictionaries, and help from Domenic.

I use it to initialize new VPS with my usual setup, but it might be easier to use a container format. I think Ansible itself has become a bit unfashionable since I started using it. I don’t know what is cool instead now. It was Saltstack for a while but idk how long that lasted. Ansible is working mostly ok for me so I’ve stayed with it, til whenever.

Worth mentioning, this book was written in 1954. Full text is online, find by web search.

Book was published in 1954. I hadn’t heard of it previously. Based on the video blurb, the longwinded but interesting article “Meditations on Moloch” by Scott Alexander might also be of interest. The video is 12 minutes long, I guess not too bad, but I’m still not up for watching it. Here’s a longer version of the blurb, I guess:

Yes, that too. I hadn’t even thought about trying to send email from a home ISP. Everyone knows you basically can’t. I thought the idea was to receive email rather than send it, so you wouldn’t be relying on some bigtech company to store it for you.

I think there are still enough v4-only systems out there that you don’t really want to host a mail server on v6. You are right though that it would be nice to be able to get static v6 (or for that matter v4) addresses from home isp’s. Some do offer that of course.

Another issue can be that the average home internet user has no idea keep even a client system secure. So ISP’s might use NAT and default firewall configurations partly to stop incoming connections on the theory that they are likely to be malicious. On home routers you can usually open ports if you know what you’re doing. I don’t know if that’s even possible on mobile phones.

This looks like some kind of weird AI slop, sorry.

I’ve never used Discord – is it similar to Mumble? I tried Jami but found it too unreliable to recommend. What about Nextcloud Chat? I do use that though it is kind of clumsy.

Not that resilient. Mods and admins controlling discussion, defederation due to dislike of the messenger, etc. I think the federation model is flawed and it should be done at the client side instead of on servers.

TEFL work often pays kind of badly, but it’s an ok thing to do if you don’t have better options, of ir you’re trying to spend some time travelling while bringing in enough cash to cover basic expenses. I wouldn’t want to think of it as a career.

The screen light will mess with your sleep cycle. Put on some quiet music and listen to it with the screen shut off and your eyes closed.

https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/ argues the opposite (“if anyone builds it, everyone dies”). It’s not out yet though.

I wouldn’t feel any need to discuss something like that in public. If I felt reasonably convinced that someone was being abused, I’d probably flag the FBI. Otherwise if you insist, I’m sure there there are pr0n forums. In fact Lemmy has an NSFW instance lemmynsfw.com. Stuff from there keeps showing up on lemmy.world’s front page.

Are there not already about a zillion of these?
