Yeah if you can’t get to gloves then that’s the best option.
One of the pcb places I worked at had a training where they went over the statistics on gloves versus hand washing and it seemed dire.
At the same time I’d believe 100% that came from a nitrile glove distributor cutout.
It would be cool to drive some kind of classic style Chinese sports car around a bunch of cities and country roads on vacation.
Even holding old parts in your mouth by the leads is bad because sometimes they’re tinned instead of aluminum coated copper or whatever.
There’s genuinely a like “thought pattern feeling” that I’m scared is oral heavy metals exposure. Waiting on the blood panel to come back…
It’s not my intention to be fighting all over this thread, but if you’re worried about lead exposure because of the crazy crap you work on, like old radios and stuff, wear gloves at all times.
If you don’t wanna use disposable nitrile, use dishwashing gloves.
You probably won’t get 70+ bidenbrained from using the “blow the smoke away” fume extraction method as a hobbyist.
You will absolutely get 40+ bidenbrained from touching all over your leaded solder and leaded joints then touching your face/mouth.
Don’t do what farting_weedman once did and straighten a curled solder strand straight with their mouth like one might when wetting a thread and threading a needle.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Standing up openvpn especially is pretty well documented.
Maybe. I’ve never seen anyone do rework or replacement of fine pitch connectors with shrouded leads on big multilayer boards like video cards and stuff without low melt.
A factory I worked at would sometimes place replacement components on masked pads and run the assembly through the heater again, but that’s uh, not recommended for a lot of parts now…
I repair lots of equipment and pa speakers made after the rohs unironically always have bad joints because so may of the components aren’t designed for high vibration environments (it’s a subwoofer, it’s like literally its own source of high vibration environment! I’m going to go insane and get arrested for doing okc to ev and behringers design departments!)
Alternate solution: use atop sorting by fs access and kill the process doing it.
Stop the service that’s doing the thing causing you a problem.
Fix the thing you screwed up
Restart the fixed service that was causing the problem
What could possibly go wrong?
In this case, and I’m making wild assumptions because I don’t have a peertube instance to play with, stop peertube, connect your local system up to it with a vpn to traverse your nat, mount some volume in the local system as the remote systems target for the file system move, then start peertube back up and see if it starts filling your local drive with some data.
Nah. Multilayer boards and smd stuff with tiny little plastic parts need leaded to safely desolder and clean up.
If you’re talking about through hole and some larger pitch smd soldering then yeah, you can get away with lead free especially in paste form.
I’m not gonna watch it, but the first like 80 issues are killer. I didn’t like the ending.
You want to be on x86 for torrents or using both sections of the cpu on the odroid (not sure if htop is telling you individual core usage…). Still 66% seems high even for a sbc and transmission.
Are your tab completes laggy? You might be running a very generalized software package on some very unique hardware, my orange pi zero ran like shit for some use cases till I built a kernel for it and changed bunches of stuff to accommodate the hardware.
I got a two core old ass i5 that’s sitting at like 6% while seeding a hundred torrents on deluge.
It’s better at “practical” stuff than random “donde esta la biblioteka” snippets out of a textbook, there’s only a bout 20 languages you can use offline and it does legit work better when you let it connect up, but yeah, it’s cool.
I just tested this on a 14 in airplane mode. Yes ocr translation works offline without the ai software (this phone won’t be supported by the package).
You gotta download the language packs to be able to translate though.
I’m skeptical, but if you’re thinking about dumping android for ios, this’ll make the 14pro/max phones much cheaper.
The first step is to take it inside, even if that’s inside a shed.
Then you wanna either replace or soak the chain in something called “chain brite”.
Once the pedals spin and the chain transmits that spin to the rear wheel, see if the brakes work. If the cables are stuck you can drip some kind of penetrating oil into them to help get things moving again. Sometimes I give up and replace the cables.
Once you can make the bike go and stop, pump up the tires and see how it rides.
If you have bitlocker, resize the partition from inside windows or turn it off.
If you don’t have bit locker, make a backup and do it in the Linux installer.
People will say you gotta have a different drive to keep windows from fucking up your bootloader, I’ve seen it mess up grub on a different drive. It’s better to know that this is going to happen and prepare for it by looking up your distros grub reinstallation process from usb boot than to try to avoid it altogether.
Linux can read windows partitions (if you don’t have bitlocker) and windows can read Linux partitions with a driver. I used to keep a second drive as a dmz/storage device.
I just switched to a completely virtualised windows instead of dual booting. Feels good.
I have an ambernic. It came preloaded with games but there’s a bunch of better romsets on archive.org.
The usual advice is to put a bigger, better sd card in it and I did that too. It works good.
Some more good information while you’re acquiring hardware: keep your drives cool. A case with fans that blow on its drive cages is better than one that doesn’t.
this Wikipedia article has a chart in it that shows what intel integrated gpus support what video codecs. the other person who said about the intel arc gpus for av1 decoding is right, but idk if you wanna spend money on a video card rather than lots of drives. Most stuff from trackers is available h264 anyway.
Make sure you have a backup solution. It might be backblaze for a few bucks a month, but you’ll quickly end up with terabytes of data that actually you can’t download again.
Some sleeper 7/8 generation intel sources are the sff dell inspiron motherboards. They have two pcie slots, a cpu that can do much more if it just had a bigger heatsink and some old gamer case will still fit the weird part that’s supposed to stick out of the front and provide usb and sd card slots.
Deluge on the server and qbittorrent on the laptop. Might move to rtorrent this year.
