Damn, made me chuckle

Anyways, going by

, i have had multiple people (2, which is not a lot but it’s weird it happened more then once) say that they couldnt solder just to discover that they were using their soldering iron wrong.

When you press the solder against the iron’s tip, it should get wicked by the tip, and remain there until you press it on some wire/component leads.

If the solder beads up and slips away from the iron, or beads up and forms a blob at the end of the solder wire, it’s oxidised and you probably need to get a new tip. It needs to be shiny and metallic.

The tip needs to be regularely cleaned while soldering by brushing it on a wet sponge, and never let the iron cool down without some solder on the tip to prevent oxidation.

also, FLUX FLUX FLUX

wasnt the whole point to be able to solder one yourself?

founder is a bit hard to bear sometimes. He banned me from all channels over a the tiniest little argument and so I can’t interact with and get any support from the community

i have seen the harsh takes on the valetudo website but thought it was a joke, what happened to deserve that

I’m just a little disgruntled because I like treating my Pi’s as headless servers, often with a single purpose, and I don’t want to have to erase the SD cards to upgrade versions.

sounds like a dietpi usecase! (sorry for the shilling, i just really like the project)

but hey, if debian works don’t touch it

I kinda understood half of the things you said, but i run DietPi on mine.

It has 64-bit support, you can update the os without resetting everything, still based on the original kernels for the closed source optimizations, but removes all the clunky and slow parts, leaving a very lightweight and fast os.

Plus, for newbies (like me) it has a decent built-in installer for various software with minimal ulterior setup required.

So they make the internet worse for poor people? I could get through 20k in a second, but someone with just an old laptop would take a few minutes, no?

i mean, kinda? you are absolutely right that someone with an old pc might need to wait a few extra seconds, but the speed is ultimately throttled by the browser

adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn’s invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect’s inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time

aaand next time they’ll leave their cell phone home to not get tracked, so not only do you not get their location, they can’t even call you in an emergency

good parenting, i guess

Knowing that mum or dad might go through their phone to check things makes them think about what they are doing spend 5 minutes researching how to hide stuff. Better to rely on trust then on pure force alone

Because it uses DoH and not DoT.

other way around, but yes

After receiving blowback he tripled down and then started lashing out at customers using official channels.

damn, i only followed the dramma for the first couple posts, do you mind posting a link to read the third one?

PG’s Jonah Aragon steal PT’s creator’s funds & his subreddit & censors anyone who mentions it

🌟lies🌟

can you stop linking that one video which uses “trust me bro” and the privacytools website itself as sources and link some actual verifiable stuff?

(it’s literally copy paste)

That’s called forking an open source project, not to even mention that everyone who wrote the stuff is now on PG

staff

the staff unanimously decided to move

Money & subreddit

Lies and lies from burung

Vs PG being actual thieves & liars ?

what did they steal?

The website is pretty decent & clean

what the fuck? Google has a clean website, doesn’t mean I should be using it. The usefulness of the information is what matters, and privacytools ranking ads as “best picks” sure as hell isn’t informative

better licencing

same as above. Doesn’t matter if they have a better license when everything else is a scam

The foundations of PG were built on a lie & PT still has the updated info

Suuuuuure cuz You said so

I linked many sources, where are yours? There’s no lies here, Burung was absent from github, the reddit and all the chats for multiple years and now wants them back to delete all the evidence.

PT still has the updated info

Like NordVPN and Surfshark? The same thing PrivacyTools itself warned about promoting in their blog that’s now deleted?

NordVPN is pretty good actually, compared to IVPN

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It’s way better than PG stealing funds from PT

they didn’t.

are you against PT making money

absolutely yes, the owner is an asshole and the website is shit
