Floppy

I like electronics, but don't really have a clue about and typical problems. Does anybody have any ideas?

I bought a cheap second-hand for fun (or electronical parts). However, it doesn't really work, which was kind of to be expected.

One or two oft the motors or rotor blades does not seem to work properly, and hence the drone does not fly. From observation I would say that the blades are not rotating fast enough or reliably when they should.

The person was asking for guidance, and he dumped his mightier than thou ego on them.

It's a disgusting attitude to take towards someone trying to better themselves.

Maybe they won't be the next best thing, but you don't know that until you've provided that person the opportunity.

Listening to Flutter Podcast on my run this morning: itsallwidgets.com/podcast/epis

I rarely go for personal attacks (If you have nothing nice to say, etc.), but holy moly, Randal Schwartz sounds like a complete and utter obnoxious, up himself tool.

Towards the end of the episode, he described how someone had asked a question on one of the many things he responds to every day.

His response, slightly paraphrased "if you weren't doing it from 10 years old, you're never going to be good enough".

I've just discovered libretranslate.com/ - an open source translation API which can be self-hosted.

That's another one on the list of things to spin up when I get some time!

Session

The only thing more decentralised than Session is our userbase.

We're proud to have a truly global community. The only continent in the world where people don't use Session is Antarctica.

... We think. 🤔

What platform would you recommend me to post articles? In the style of a personal journal about my career path. Seems that Medium is pretty popular 🤔

Interesting question I saw on Reddit today: How many passwords do you actually remember as opposed to storing in your PWmanager? I think I count 3 for myself, along with various other PINs I'd rather be rid of.
