Any issues lately with your network? When DNS is down or having issues, Firefox and forks take forever to start up.

[Request] Components/Tools List for DIY, analog 'Beginner Electronics' Kit? in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry, I should clarify - the list is items I believe I'll likely need and the question marks indicate that I'm not sure if they're necessary or that I'm not sure the specifics about what I should get. For example, I'm sure I need resistors, but I'm not sure if I need everything from 1Ω to 1MΩ, or which ICs to get. I was also unsure if I should get a variable power supply. Hopefully that makes more sense?

[Request] Components/Tools List for DIY, analog 'Beginner Electronics' Kit? (leminal.space)

I'm new to electronics and looking to assemble an array of components and tools for working on and designing electronics & circuits. Something immediately apparent is that all of the widely available kits orient you towards working with microcontrollers and SBCs; these kits are cool, but I want to have a halfway decent understanding of the underlying analog components and circuit design before I go digital.

With that in mind, what should I get? If anyone could specify specifics to look into, I'd really appreciate that! Thanks for the help.

Current list

A decent breadboard
Jumper wires
Multimeter
Batteries
Variable Power Supply?
Assorted resistors (1Ω-?)
Capacitors (Electrolytic and ceramic?)
Various ICs?
Transistors?
Diodes, probably?
Potentiometers

Framework Laptop 13 gets Intel Core Ultra with a 120 Hz display, and cheaper AMD models in c/[email protected]

I hope eventually we get an ARM-powered Framework.

Bought a Framework shortly after Linus Techmin joined forces with them. Was stolen out of my partner's car a few months later and just haven't been able to justify (or afford) a replacement.

KDE Plasma needs stability in c/[email protected]

If you want your environment to be consistent between desktops, keep it mostly stock. The default KDE themeing and setup is pretty damn similar to Windows 10, and I've kept it stock ever since I started using it ~1 ½ years ago.

A Bash script to rip music off CUE/BIN files in c/[email protected]

It is not an abuse of anyone's creative rights to the convert music from a game you legally own to a different format.

Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more? in c/[email protected]

I think Obsidian and Logseq are helping to change this.

Streaming Video Discord Replacements for Linux? in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

For what it's worth, I've been running alternative Discord clients for years (Webcord, discord-screenaudio, and now Vesktop/Vencord) and haven't encountered any issues or bans. By far, the most polished and well integrated is Vesktop/Vencord. I don't consider my Discord account worth risking either, but given that I've yet to see a verifiable report of someone losing access to Discord for using an alternate client (even the ones that enable Nitro subscription features), I think I'm pretty safe.

Personally, I'd say risk it for the biscuit. There are some hacky workarounds but all of them are annoying to set up and finicky. As for alternative platforms, I'm not sure...

Gas fees, fees to convert to fiat, electricity bills for miners / initial investment for stakers... No matter how you frame it, there are still associated fees. Might as well use the standard we have at the moment.
