wait, blahaj disallows downvotes? why’s that

Damn, made me chuckle

Anyways, going by

, i have had multiple people (2, which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened more then once) say that they couldnt solder just to discover that they were using their soldering iron wrong.

When you press the solder against the iron’s tip, it should get wicked by the tip, and remain there until you press it on some wire/component leads.

If the solder beads up and slips away from the iron, or beads up and forms a blob at the end of the solder wire, it’s oxidised and you probably need to get a new tip. It needs to be shiny and metallic.

The tip needs to be regularely cleaned while soldering by brushing it on a wet sponge, and never let the iron cool down without some solder on the tip to prevent oxidation.

wasnt the whole point to be able to solder one yourself?

founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community

i have seen the harsh takes on the valetudo website but thought it was a joke, what happened to deserve that

you, and many of your buddies have done a full 360 and went full Nazi.

lol. lmao even.

It is not the job of the voters to Rally around a party that can’t figure itself out, it is the job of the party to energize those voters into acting the way they need to.

yeah the DNC has long figured itself out, why do you think they are catering to centrists/moderate right wingers? because y’all won’t vote them short of a perfect candidate (which doesnt exist)

I’m just a little disgruntled because I like treating my Pi’s as headless servers, often with a single purpose, and I don’t want to have to erase the SD cards to upgrade versions.

sounds like a dietpi usecase! (sorry for the shilling, i just really like the project)

but hey, if debian works don’t touch it

I kinda understood half of the things you said, but i run DietPi on mine.

It has 64-bit support, you can update the os without resetting everything, still based on the original kernels for the closed source optimizations, but removes all the clunky and slow parts, leaving a very lightweight and fast os.

Plus, for newbies (like me) it has a decent built-in installer for various software with minimal ulterior setup required.

So they make the internet worse for poor people? I could get through 20k in a second, but someone with just an old laptop would take a few minutes, no?

i mean, kinda? you are absolutely right that someone with an old pc might need to wait a few extra seconds, but the speed is ultimately throttled by the browser

adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn’s invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect’s inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time

oh, everyday chemicals, you know, like the blood of unborn baby cows, things we can all relate to.

I am not joking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_bovine_serum

when it spontaneously degrades, yes, it turns into tame water and healthy oxygen, but when it touches organic matter (your skin, tongue, mouth, etc) the oxygen directly reacts with the carbon atoms to make CO2, effectively “burning” away your tissues very slowly.

Usually, you don’t notice that because you use store-bought 3% peroxide, but chemists regularly use the much more powerful 35% peroxide, which gives you nasty burns

also, fun fact, some cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a waste product, so nature has evolved the catalase enzyme to break it down, and that’s why you see bubbling when using it on a scar but not on skin, because that enzyme is only inside you and your blood
