The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.

Kind of difficult to give recommendations on where to start for resoldering, but my first hunch would be cold solder joints somewhere. I have a Kyria from splitkb that I assembled myself that had spotty LEDs on one half which turned out to be a cold joint on one of the surface mount underglow LEDs. Also had no key presses registered on a row that turned out to be a cold joint at the MCU.

As for general troubleshooting recommendations, if you can get a board schematic that would be immensely beneficial for your efforts as it would show how and to what pins of your MCU everything is connected. With that you can try to identify where the fault might be occurring (e.g. LEDs die after LED 5 in the chain) and focus your efforts before/after that area.

Failing the board schematic, you may be able to just visually see where the traces connect back to on the PCB, or you could probe it out using continuity mode on a multimeter and reverse engineer the connections.

Another thing that may aid in diagnosing where the issue lies with the double key presses is figuring out how the key matrix is laid out. For example if you’re receiving double presses on only some keys in a single row or column, the issue lies in either that row/column or the MCU pin they connect back to. Again, the board schematic would be really helpful in this regard.

Best of luck!

Crashing and burning (in a non-production environment) is an excellent motivator to develop necessary skills; being unafraid to break things and fix them when they inevitably break helps you get a deeper understanding of how the systems work, for what it’s worth.

I think this may more for acute vertigo, but have you tried the Epley maneuver?

I loved that book growing up and was so excited when the movie was coming out (on my birthday!)

To this day, that movie is the only one I legitimately walked out of. It was such a terrible adaptation.

Running an RKE cluster as VMs on my ceph+proxmox cluster. Using Rook and external ceph as my storage backend and loving it. I haven’t fully migrated all of my services, but thus far it’s working well enough for me!

Oh yeah…the sounds were something else lol. The technicians gave me earplugs for mine. It is quite a loud procedure strangely enough. The one benefit was that I was able to request the imagery they took on a disc afterwards and then I was able to 3d print my brain from the imagery!

Watching them do the chair was… terrifying… Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like “Nah, you’re fine.” I was like “Okay, just please don’t steal my teeth 😬”

OSRS?

I don’t know how I feel about this personally. On the one hand, I feel like this is a privacy win for those who want it: no watch history means no algorithmic recommendations and (presumably) less data collection for those users. On the other hand, I personally really enjoy the recommendations that YouTube makes for me. Maybe it is the wide variety of content that I watch, but I’m honestly very pleased with the recommendations that YouTube provides. That being said, I feel like the opt-in to algorithmic recommendations is a good thing overall, however I am personally going to leave my watch history enabled.

I want to try and create discussion about videos that may be less main stream. Video (specifically medium- to long-form) is my preferred type of content to consume, however I don’t have the ability to create my own content. !Videos@lemmy.world is great but as @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works mentioned below:

Posts that invite comments tend to get comments.

!Videos@lemmy.world doesn’t directly ask for discussion on the videos posted. I created a community, !whatareyouwatching@lemmy.onlylans.io, to try to bridge this gap. The idea is that you find an interesting video, you watch it, and then you post it with your main take-away or a question you had to try and foster a discussion.

Not sure if it is working, but that’s my own methodology to trying to increase engagement with content that I don’t personally produce.

Also, I am running a small self-hosted instance for friends, so my name may not be as “out there” as the larger instances, but I’m pretty sure that anyone can post to this community.

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I’ve reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again…

Thanks for the info. That seems quite heavy handed.

I’m out of the loop, what is France trying to do with regard to DNS?

This video is a must watch for explaining the fundamental problems of crypto/NFTs.

Warning: it long, like feature movie long, but really informative.

Yeah, the whole article feels like it is both pandering and condescending at the same time. No thanks lol.

This article is so cringey.
