> That's enough volume to hit every edge case at least once.

Is it, though?

Though these should be cut in half before discarding so that no one "helpfully" retrieves them.

When I had more time on my hands, I jumped from CPanel email to Outlook (when they offered free custom domain mail) to Zoho before landing on FastMail. It's been about a decade now and, other than adding the occasional custom domain and the rare service outage, I have made very few configuration changes. Worth every penny. I have zero regrets.

Man, they're just worried about their bottom line

The general complexity of name changes will never cease to intrigue me.

Ha! My Track point II hangs above my desk as a quick-to-grab keyboard whenever I (frequently) need to plug into a computer I don't normally use. Absolutely perfect for that.

Do oil next!

I had the privilege to take a student group that I was not otherwise a part of to walk the last 100km of the Camino de Santiago a few years ago. It was one of the satisfying things I've done.

This is the way.

Ran Proxmox for years before switching the homelab to esxi. Switching back has been in the cards for a while now. Not quite as polished, but wholly sufficient.

Perfect. Now we'll need a DMCA exemption to repair your own spacecraft.

If you haven't read any of Cory Doctorow's writing, I highly recommend it.

For the last six years or so, our local Makerspace has hosted a weekly electronics and technology meetup on Thursday evenings. The electronics lab is pretty quiet most of the week, though as an arts/crafts-focused space, the fiber arts and stained glass spaces are much busier. On Thursday evenings, though, there normally 5-15 people who show up and hack on hardware/software, show off projects, or just chat tech. electronicsnight.com.

If you want a tool, buy a Prusa. If you want a project, build a Voron.

I got as far as an assembled open book with what I believe is a short under the scard slot last year. This video just brought it back to my attention and now I'm going to try to get it working.

This isn't a great example of using the Skadis pegboards, because the author doesn't seem to be using the Skadis hooks or 3D printing their own. One of the huge benefits of Skadis over traditional pegboard is that the larger slots make 3D printed fixtures a much sturdier option, and a huge library of tool-customized models has become available. I've replaced all of my pegboard with Skadis and designed a number of custom mounts to place my tools exactly where I want them as I go about hardware design and assembly. I'm not convinced it's the right solution for my homeland, but after yesterday's LTT video where they mount audio controllers to a sheet of plywood, I'm interested in giving it a shot.

If you have access to a laser cutter, custom-sized skadis-compatible boards can be cut for low cost and with relative ease.

I've been excitedly following the development of Opulo's LumenPnP for the last couple of years. An open-source PnP machine for small business PCB assembly.

There is a lot of value to an engineering degree with a liberal arts (English, PoliSci) minor. Learn technical skills AND how to communicate with folks who don't have technical skills.

Left a career-track government job in my mid-20s and took a decent pay-cut to take a senior role at a nonprofit I was fascinated with. Did that for about three years before my wife and I decided we could use some more cash and now I'm back in a manual labor role (that's a technical writer joke) for a gov. contractor. Glad I did the nonprofit management thing while I could, but happy to knuckle down and write for a while.

This is exactly the list I was thinking of.

> I can safely assume that this dictionary of bad words contains no people’s names in it.

"maximum viable" or "Maximally viable" is an effectively unattainable target. At what point do the developers ship?

My two cents: Beyond meat is struggling because it's products aren't good. We had a "meat"-loaf made with Impossible meat last night and it was pretty good. I'm consistently convinced I could hand someone an Impossible burger (maybe with cheese, on a roll, with some ketchup), and they would not identify that it was not beef if they were not looking for an excuse to complain. The industry needs time to find it's footing and to bring costs down with scale, but I expect that'll happen slowly but surely.

There was an awesome talk at HOPE this year about the portrayal of hackers in the media. There's a full list of the movies they discussed here: https://twitter.com/JohnDunlap2/status/1551364796951547905
