Well, shit went south. The game ended in a tie after extra innings because @bind.bsky.social wasn’t the sort to go down easy.

So, you heard the man. Let it fucking rip.

I’m having a blast, even when nothing is going right. Cuz eventually it will.

It doesn’t look the cleanest if you care about that but switching out patches easily is a lot of fun.

I covered my kids new backpack with these so he can have a fresh collage every year.

A Trip to the National Aviary

The National Aviary turned out to be a perfect birthday gift for a kid obsessed with birds and a great excuse for me to do some portrait work I’d never get to try in the wild. From open habitats to co...

I’ve been using stick on Velcro patches for awhile now. Definitely easier.

The sewing kit has a lot in common with the @hackerboxes.bsky.social I’ve been doing. Specifically “maybe google all the components first before you start bleeding all over them.”

rand0h @akacki.net · 1d

Shared this in the spirit of a story I heard about someone @defcon.bsky.social holding a sign that said “teach me something”, and idea I adore.

I know many other hackers who do this waaaay better & would have better advice but it’s how I decided I’d learn on a random Tuesday.

Enjoy.

A thimble is your friend. That kit comes with a thimble ring. Don’t kill your finger like I did before actually googling thimbles.

Related: Today is Indigenous People’s Day. It’s a good time to reflect on the fact that nearly everyone in the US is on stolen land, every day. While it’s not feasible to suggest reversing that theft, we must strive to honor the First Nations and their people.

Phil Hagen @philhagen.com · 2d

Good day to remember Columbus was an evil, vile piece of trash who deserves no historical reverence whatsoever.
He is only a “hero” for those who feel being an enslaver, genocidal maniac, and child rapist who never set foot in today’s US are acceptable because he spread their preferred religion.

6. Resolder the remaining diodes for the second time, proceed to almost lose another one. Fate had mercy, found it.

JFC. Not a single misstep in all of this was anything less than my own stupidity. Shoutout to @awkwardai cuz it was their galaxy badge that showed me my mistakes

rand0h @akacki.net · 3d

4. Unsolder diode for second time, promptly lose it on the floor. Never to be seen again.

5. Desolder/Resolder other diodes, kinda dim. Well that makes two of us cuz I didn't realize it was supposed to get soldered ON ITS SIDE so it shines through the designated areas...

rand0h @akacki.net · 3d

1. Read but not understood the little guide they included.

2. Switched a capacitor with a diode which I only realized by the luck of having another board next to me with similar components.

3. Desolder diode, resolder, discover DIRECTION MATTERS. Again, RTFM. ...

rand0h @akacki.net · 3d

It todays Misadventures of Not RTFM. Be me, digging through old con swag, finding SAO's. This one is Mr. Robolopy I think from @awkwardai 5 years ago.

I think, "this'll be fun". I've been doing well at hardware. No sweat. AN HOUR LATER I had done the following...🧵

This is definitely one my favorite gadgets from @hackerboxes.bsky.social cuz I’ve collected SO many SAO’s over the years.

Even when I knew nothing about what SAO’s were supposed to be, I always liked getting them handed to me.
