@SpaciousCoder78 nice. Electronics is really fascinating to me, justcombine the components and magic happens.

@SpaciousCoder78 creating a MR at upstream KiCad

@SpaciousCoder78 I know; I always create it by hand and contribute it upstream also others also can benefit

@SpaciousCoder78 DC step-up converter abusing an NE555 to get 160V DC for Nixie tubes

Days since I had to create new symbols in KiCad: 0

Yeah it's coming along #electronics #KiCad

@decathorpe nice!

@fabos @kaia super cursed either way

@lethalbit @walnut At one point during COVID I was bored and just taught myself the basic of KiCad. It helps a lot if you have an electronics background, but even without you can learn how do it. High-spped applications are more complicated; for starters I can recommend a simple analog design. Then just go from there :)

Tfw both the regional train and the long distance train you want to take are canceled..
Proves me right again by buying Super Sparpreis.

@amberisvibin @disaster2life looks very good otherwise! Just a very minor thing I noticed. Getting good at soldering takes quite some time, even I have solder joints where I am not happy.

@amberisvibin @disaster2life c8 and c9 have little tin though, there should be some tin climb. Great work!

@RolandRides?

@mirabilos bluca though would say: send it upstream

@mirabilos the best part is kibi sending a two-line change upstream, gating this, and poettering just closed it. Classic.

Fucking #LLM scrapers, now @codeberg seems severely impacted. Everyone championing so called AI can fuck right off. This is hurting the #FreeSoftware community all just to benefit some CEOs selling this snakeoil. Really pissed off right now.

TIL that the VIA rail API (canadian railway) can be easily queried to spit out the station names:

and trips:

However, the journey duration and stops are not public.

@SpaciousCoder78 unfortunately can't delete my account for the patches I need to send upstream and the occasional issues, but all my personal stuff has long been moved to codeberg.
