Sarah WilsonHey, I'm Sarah but I also go by FaeMittens online, and this is my <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a>. ☺️ I'm a queer <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transgender</a> woman in my early 30's currently living in northern Lutruwita/Tasmania and hoping to make my way over to Naarm/Melbourne with my awesome (also <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a>) girlfriend soon.I write code to command <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> to do things for a living, mostly on bare metal ARM in C but occasionally running Linux in C, C++, or Python; but I'm currently out of work and working on my mental health and transition (burnout sucks).<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Photography</a> is how I express myself but I've also considered dabbling in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a>, if I could just stick to a single idea. 😅 I also love to play games, read, listen to music of many different genres, and learn; I'm nerdy as hell and enjoy diving into different technical, scientific, and math topics when my <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adhd</a> sparks a focus. Sometimes I also get into a bit of ancient and classical history.Anarcho-communist and anti-capitalist.I use arch btw.

DerRepariererDer Handy-Akku macht schlapp, das Gerät hält bei normaler Nutzung noch nicht mal bis zum Nachmittag. Ein Akku-Tausch ist mit etwas Feingefühl und dem richtigen Werkzeug eine machbare Sache. Hierzu gibt es super Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitungen online (<a href="https://mastodon.social/@iFixit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@iFixit</a>). Nach dem Tausch hält der Akku bedeutend länger und die Lebensdauer des Gerätes wurde damit signifikant erhöht!The cell phone battery is dying, the device doesn't even last until the afternoon with normal use. Replacing the battery is doable with a little skill and the right tools. There are great step-by-step instructions online. After the replacement, the battery lasts much longer again and the lifespan of the device has been significantly increased!<a href="https://derreparierer.codeberg.page/derreparierer/smartphones/battery_apple_iphone_xs/readme.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://derreparierer.codeberg.page/derreparierer/smartphones/battery_apple_iphone_xs/readme.html</a><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/reparatur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reparatur</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smartphone</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/iphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iphone</a>

Piotr Esden-TempskiSo one thing led to another and I am back to being the maintainer of libopencm3. Thanks karlp for all the years of dedication. I will do my best to take care of locm3 well.

tjhowseI'm thinking of ideas for a major revision of my long-lived morse code solar blinkers.I want to make a version that is easier to read, displaying whole letters rather than morse.Legible 5px high fonts exist, but I'm not sure of the minimum horizontal resolution. 5px would let me show a whole character, but I think I can go lower with marquee scrolling.Also I want an i2c EEPROM for longer messages.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnEo65a7JRA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnEo65a7JRA</a><a href="https://howse.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://howse.social/tags/numenera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#numenera</a> <a href="https://howse.social/tags/pcbway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pcbway</a>

GusDo I know any Australian <a href="https://aus.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> nerds who could use a small IR reflow oven? Yours for cost of postage.This is a Qinsi QS-5100, purchased in 2013. Used only a few times, and probably not for ten years. I just fired it up and the heating element, fan, etc. all seem to work as expected - but it could use a thorough test at minimum.A lot was written about these ovens back in the day, particularly by Ian of Dangerous Prototypes.If, like me, you only assemble boards in ones and twos for prototypes then TBH you probably don't need this (I use hot air and a preheater). If you do frequent small assembly runs and can be bothered dialling the temp curves in (in theory a one-time process) then it may be of interest.

Jer 🚵🏼Before bike trip I was thinking I should 3d print a case and kludge together some kind of light for the front of the bike with spare LEDs and parts I have. Within the first five miles I found one on the side of the road! It had been run over, which squished the battery, but otherwise works fine. I saw a number of discarded vapes on the ride and momentarily thought about grabbing a couple to harvest their batteries, but didn't want to deal with carrying them in limited pack space. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

jasegI have unintentionally built a circuit that can distinguish between two copies of the same PCB manufactured by JLCPCB in the same batch. I kind of wonder what this is picking up on. I suspect fiber weave effects, or minor variations in dielectric thickness.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a>

MattBeen working on a pure-TTL/CMOS UART and I managed to get the receiver stage mostly working. I still need to figure out how to best reset the circuit after a byte comes in.
