I guess they will have to charge more since they won't get a full lifetime out of customers.

The hero we need! Ty!

I'm not entirely sure why but Calibri has always mildly annoyed me. Maybe because it was the new default at one point and I preferred something else. Or maybe because I felt that the default font size should be 10 or 12 points not...11 (pffft huff) Maybe it was just misplaced resentment for having to use Office products (at work). The new one has kind of a fun look, though. Maybe I will enjoy it.

Right there with ya. 🖖

No doubt. Doing the same and watched it a few months ago. Still runs me right through the heart.

Check out Sparkfun soldering tutorial.

The true game changer is this: use a brass sponge. Any cheapo one will do. Cleaning the tip often with a brass sponge will keep your iron tip nice and shiny and able to transfer heat much more effectively making soldering 10x easier.

Water sponges are terrible. Just no.

The iron doesn't matter as much as the brass sponge. I have soldered SMT stuff with a dollar store iron just to prove the point. Although a temp controlled iron with the right tip makes things easier.

Also please don't die from high voltages (I see you've read the safety stuff, good!)

Vi for me for config, script, and text type files. Used to use emacs a lot for developing hobby stuff but prefer other IDEs now.

Yes.

Cute woman tries to connect with me on social? Total scam. Lol

Maybe they're going down the alphabet sending requests? Or maybe it's targeted. But I would think they would send a cute guy pic to a woman if so.

Anything to make a buck.

Hm. Rust sounds better and better every time I hear something new about it.

I have a couple Lenovo tiny form factors: an M700 8GB w/ J3710 running Pihole on Ubuntu server---which is total overkill in both CPU and mem; and an M73, 4GB w/4th gen i3 running jellyfin server on Mint 21.3. Certain kinds of transcoding brings it to its knees but for most 1080p streaming it's fine. Memory is a bit tight; 8G would be better. It has a usb3 2T drive for video files that runs more than quick enough. Serial adapters are available if you want to use the console.

The latter has been running for I think a couple years. The former I just set up.

But I've been shopping for newer gear for the Jellyfin server. I think you could get a Dell, HP, or Lenovo 6th gen TFF with 8G and 256-512G internal SSD within your price range.

I see some EliteDesk G800 G3 (6th gen Intel) tinys with no disk for $50-70 shipped on eBay in the US. I think those look the coolest by far :)

You could find one with no disk, no ram and config as you please and probably still come in under budget.

E-

My eventual plan for the Jellyfin server is a SFF, probably an HP with enough space to fit a couple of big HDDs, plus 16G ram and a newer CPU that can transcode on the fly without lag.

Haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I am very curious to see what they did with it.

Basically, yes. No word from the Dev in 4 months.

That's a very familiar pattern (I was using sync back on Reddit). It's been like this for a long while.

Doesn't everyone just boot by entering machine code with the switch panel in the front?

Oops :)

That's kickass, way to go! Online learning is the way to go. I have a hard time learning stuff directly from a book (ADHD may be why idk). Something about the structure and pace and external motivation of a course does the trick for me. That's how I learned AngularJS, anyway. All kinds of stuff you can do with Java: Desktop apps, web apps, etc etc.

Yes, Xitter, I xit you not!

My first thought is various utilities on my Linux systems.

I like Wendy's also and this really fucking torques my tacos. Well, fuck them. I'm not going to be ripped off because I choose to eat at a popular time of day.

Or use the id command.
