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.

pezhore@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@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?0·10 months 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.
pezhore@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.English5·11 months agoI’m not seeing any replies that are super helpful for your question - so here’s what I do: throw a Linux desktop on a Raspberry Pi, or NUC and use the TV like monitor. Get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and watch Plex through the appimage or just Firefox. Bonus, now any website that does video can be viewed on your big screen tv without dealing with any casting apps.
Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.
Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it’s not as complicated as you may think.
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.
- Step 1: download deb
- Step 2: open a terminal
- Step 3:
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/yourde.deb
Now whether or not all the packages are fubared at this point is unknown, but that’s how to install a deb file.
pezhore@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•North Korean group infiltrated 100-plus companies with imposter IT pros: CrowdStrike reportEnglish211·11 months agoHow long before companies start using this as an excuse for return to office?
Sure, you’ve been working here since before the pandemic, but maybe now you’re a North Korean spy! The only way to be sure is for you to come into the office and average 4 days a week.
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.
pezhore@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•People younger than 30, what advice would you give to people over 30?0·1 year agoWe’ll my reading comprehension is quite shitty in the morning. Carry on with the down votes.
pezhore@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•People younger than 30, what advice would you give to people over 30?0·1 year 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.
pezhore@lemmy.mlOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosted YouTube frontend with some additional featuresEnglish1·1 year 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.
This. My first serious network upgrade was splitting out the router/firewall, Wifi, and switching to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite, 8 port Netgear managed switch, and a Ubiquiti AP Pro.
It ended up being around the price of a night hawk, but I had way better control over the firewall/NAT rules and it made future upgrades less painful as I could just target the switching vs WiFi for a change.
As a side note, nearly all wifi routers that I’ve come across can act as just a access point. My current setup is using the Orbi mesh wifi system to get a decent signal to my attic bedroom.
I wish someone would actually drop the full leak somewhere. It would be interesting to read this myself.
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_url
to download the compose file before doing the rest.
I think that mitigation requires two things for it to work.
- You need to use a a Type 2 hypervisor (like Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion).
- That VM needs to be configured in NAT mode.
The two primary ways you can configure a network for a local virtual machine are NAT and Bridged.
Bridged mode places your VM effectively on the same network as your host OS, meaning that any DHCP server that exists on your network (rogue or otherwise) will give your virtual machine and IP.
In NAT mode, the virtualization platform itself includes a DHCP server to dole out IPs, and handle the routing between your virtual machine and your host OS’s network.
The thought process is that if you trust your laptop, the DHCP address handed out for NAT mode will not have the VPN breaking DHCP option and your VPN inside the VM will not have it’s route table screwed with.

There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I’ll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.
At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.
Then when the migration to self-driving semis is complete and that profit levels out, shareholders will be pissed that the profits don’t continue to rise - so prices will rise again.
