There’s another actor who’s quite charismatic and famous who’d pretty much fit any role the rock gets like a glove. John Cena

Lead free solder on microcontrollers (lemm.ee)

I’m joining the split keyboard group by building a piantor. I have the pcbs already and they’re lead free coated and I will use lead free solder on the components.

I’m a bit worried though as I used a borrowed split and I noticed I keep touching the soldering in the microcontroller quite a bit and the build I was going for was a bare one where we just put rubber feet directly in the pcb so there’s no case or anything.

I tend to rub my eyes and bite my nails quite a bit during the day. I was wondering if it’s safe enough on lead free solder or if this is something I should completely avoid.

Any suggestions in case I should avoid it entirely. I reckon the worst place would be the top of the pcb maybe I can use some hot glue where the solder is but I have no idea if it’s hard to pull it off later if I need to review/resolder.

This is my first project and I haven’t done anything like this before, so even the flux I’m kind of unaware how to clean, solder comes with it right, do I need to wipe it somehow or use isopropyl alcohol and wipe with maybe a paper towel?

Sorry about being a complete noob. I searched around but most people are concerned about the lead solder not lead free like me.

Maybe that’s why they were trying to force their users to sign a new user agreement that wouldn’t allow users to sue them or something? I don’t recall the exact details but I remember it being very shady

I watched an interesting video explaining how to transport 96k people for the show.

S. Korea continues natural fall in population amid record low births by Merlin in c/world@lemmy.world

I remember watching a video not long ago about this girl in South Korea who went to uni, couldn’t find a job in her area. Then started doing web development and also had to work in a convenience store and could barely survive.

I know there’s a lot of people who never wanted to have kids to begin with and that pop decline is a worldwide phenomenon right now. However, even if someone wanted to have kids, how the heck can you do it if you can barely survive even with 2 jobs?

Infamous power mod got permabanned without explanation, then have a public meltdown. by Merlin in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

[-] Merlin@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I usually don’t pay attention to mod names, however, this name wasn’t an odd one to me somehow.

Then I tried to search for the name as I remember seeing in the past that a handful of mods owned 90% of the subreddits.

Bumped into this and now I know this mod was one of them.

As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal by Merlin in c/technology@lemmy.ml

[-] Merlin@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same for me. Lemmy still has some rough edges but even the apps that are available now are really good as they are. Improvements are happening at amazing speed. What we currently have is quite good in my opinion and this is the worst it will ever be, as we’ll have improvements on top of improvements, most apps and lemmy itself are open source, I believe that soon, instead of us feature pairing with reddit, it will be them trying to chase us up.
