4 points! If he doesn't beat Sunak, there's no justice in this world.

I tried to hand-solder a Hirose .35-pitch connector onto a custom OSHPark board once. Let's just say it was a humbling experience. Thanks to a generous friend, I learned the value of solder masks and owning a home reflow oven.

Respect to whoever can do this sort of thing, but life is too damn short and my eyesight and hands don't need the abuse.

How you solder those without dropping a blob and causing a short is a mystery.

Is there a simple way to severly impede webscraping and LLM data collection of my website? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I could, but I personally feel anyone foolish enough to use my blathering deserves the unfortunate consequences.

My idea was for people who felt strongly about keeping their stuff away from the big maws of AI.

Trump Is in Line for a $3.5 Billion Windfall From Stake in Truth Social

If the SPAC is approved this week, he could potentially use the stock as collateral to get a bond and avoid having properties seized or declaring bankruptcy by next week's deadline.

Save-by-date coming in Lemmy back-end (lemmy.ml)

Voyager sure helped the transition for many of us moving off Reddit.

But one thing that has made it difficult to use is that saved items could only be retrieved in the order of original posting. That meant if you saved an item, then went back to look for it the next day, it wouldn't be there. It could be filed under the original post date which could be days, weeks, or months ago.

This was apparently a problem with the Lemmy back-end. Well, it appears that has been solved: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9233196

Hopefully, it'll roll out to servers soon and eventually make it to Voyager. Huge props to the devs!

PS: one of the last things Apollo added was 'save folders.' I didn't get to use it enough to get hooked on it, but it looked like it was a good way to keep things organized. Even better would have been tagging and smart folders, so items could be saved under multiple categories. Just leaving it here... 😁
