A digital solder gun with a properly sized tip and a magnifying glass with helping hands (flexible clips) helps immensely. I had to hand solder a surface mount resistor that looked about the size of the tip of a pencil. It wasn’t pretty but I got it done.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done?
21·2 years agoUnfortunately, dental is typically separate from health care in the US. (It’s stupid).

341·2 years agoDo you have any persistent pain or discomfort when doing things? Get that checked out.
Another +1 for colonoscopy.
Also if there’s a family history of anything nasty, see if there’s a test for it my maybe? (E.g. heart attacks, get blood work done for cholesterol).
Get a full physical including blood work.

11·2 years agoDon’t worry, AI will help us (make the situation much, much worse by simultaneously causing outages and causing a massive increase of emissions.)
I would consider using your Synology for what it’s good at - storage.
My homelab has a Synology DS1618 and servers are Lenovo M90q systems. They have enough compute to get the job done, and use the Synology NFS mount for storage.
Yeah, for the integrated CI/CD, give GitLab a shot - it saves on spinning up a Jenkins or ConcourseCI server.
CI/CD can be useful for triggering automation after merge requests are approved, building infrastructure from code, etc.
I’ll come out with an anti-recommendation: Don’t do GitLab.
They used to be quite good, but lately (as in the past two years or so) they’ve been putting things behind a licensing paywall.
Now if your company wants to pay for GitLab, then maybe consider it? But I’d probably look at some of the other options people have mentioned in this thread.
As someone who used Latinx in a Lemmy post and then was down voted to oblivion, just go Latino or Latina. But good on you for asking people how they’d like to be called.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People younger than 30, what advice would you give to people over 30?

2015·2 years agoI don’t know if it’s even possible anymore (heck it’s hard for me at 40), but try to put something in retirement funds. If your work as a 401k, try and contribute. If you leave the job, your money can then go to an IRA. How do you do that? Beats me - I have five or six requirement accounts, each topping out at around between $2-5k.
Also, brush your teeth and if you grind them in your sleep - get a dentist to fit you for a mouth guard.
Edit: wow, down votes for teeth health.
Edit edit: reading comprehension isn’t my strong suite.
The one good thing about Google’s Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.
It’s shocking how many didn’t have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.
I mean at least Biden is a slow roll, Trump would rather nuke them.

8·2 years agoOh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn’t code something like this to save my life.
I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.
Shit, there are discord mods? Is there a list somewhere of popular mods/what do you recommend?
Here’s a recommendations for what I use in my three node Proxmox homelab:
TCNEWCL KVM Switch 4 Port, HDMI KVM Switcher https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089ZW5PW5
It would give you some room to grow, supports HDMI for video, and comes with a fancy remote clicker to swap between PCs. I have a mech keyboard plugged in along with a mouse (although the mouse isn’t super useful for my applications.
Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an
ansible.builtin.get_urlto download the compose file before doing the rest.
Refactoring for the EU region.
Reusing Terraform projects for the win.

8·2 years agoIt’s anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don’t discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there’s often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.
It’s definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.




No, no, nope.
You missed the first step where you get the parts of the chicken from the grocery store, then go to a pet store to get bones and use Elmer’s glue to put the chicken together.
That’s just the basics of cooking according to Julia Pepin.
