I have a sheet of paper that lives on top of my power light. Its soo bright, and its not even in my bedroom. I should throw a resistor inline there, I just can’t be bothered.

My upgrade cycle is about 10 years. So many more plain options last time. I went with a Roswell R5 last time. Went with a Fractal Design Define R5 this time. Fractal was the only quality plain case I could find. My brother actually has a 330R.

Some fan LEDs are directly connected to the fan power, so you can’t always turn them off.

Don’t know where your looking. Most are. - Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
They were all that I could find that I would call a quality case. I went with the Define R5.

I like the way you think, but then you probably have to deal with $erver components.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I paid way to much for a Nice solid case. It was just such a pain to find. I wound up with a Fractal Design Define R5.

No. I’m already on mint, and I’m commenting from a furry instance. How much credit do I get?

They used to.

So long as its metal, keep on going. Plastic has an unfortunate habit of breaking when its old.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
No, I’m saying you just say just search, and even those searches have to be manually sorted through. I’m simply pointing out even with filters you have to manually pick through the results to have a real filter. There are plenty below the top row that have open sides too.

System integrators seem to be the exception.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
The first 4 results there have mesh side panels…

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:STSCPanel.jpg looks like a pretty nice setup. No excess LEDs in sight.

If they cycle through do you get all of that at the same time?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
If I could have gotten the boring cases that HP, Dell, and the others make, I would have. But other than system integrators, you can’t really find stand alone plane cases.

When I put my new machine together not too long ago I actually went with the Define R5. The only part I couldn’t get away from LEDs completely was the MB. I don’t think I could find the solid Define7 at the time.
- Comment on What is enterprise.lemmy.ml? 6 months ago:
Looks like a test instance. URLs are read from the end to the beginning, so enterprise.lemmy.ml is a domain controlled by lemmy.ml. As that is the instance that the main developers control, it would follow they have a testing environment. In addition. Almost all the posts, users, and communities seem to have “test” as part of their name. It being the instance controlled by the developers is why lemmy.ml is always a link, while lemmy.world would need to be formatted as a link to get a link.

Glad it worked. It looks like its for getting the big stuff while communityboost is designed to help find the small.
- Comment on Only able to see subscribed communities 6 months ago:
From the way I read it, you create a user for the tool so when you submit your instance, it can run on your instance. One of the users chosen at random is here discuss.tchncs.de/u/communityboost
You can read a discussion about it here pawb.social/post/4136386
I also came across github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

There is a tool I’ve heard about that subscribes to remote communities for federation until a real subscription. boost.lemy.lol
- Comment on Is there a way to have a link to a post resolve to a users home instance? 7 months ago:
So a hacky solution that uses lots of javascript to search your home instance and re-write the page. Got it.

- Comment on How can I get better at remembering names in video games? 7 months ago:
I don’t know if I have any actual facial blindness, but I have a terrible time recognizing people. In tv shows, it takes me half a series to recognize the main characters by appearance alone. I think I recognize features of someone more than the person. I have terrible name recall to the point I don’t usually ask people their names because I know I’ll forget it almost immediately. I also almost never recognize people out of context.

I’ll start off with your questions are a outside of what I know well. In general to do stuff with electronics, you don’t need to know the physics behind it, but the equations that pop out. Mainly V=IR, Almost everything goes back to that. Behind the scenes are lots and lots and lots of differential equations. Alpha Pheonix has a few good visualizations for resistance. He has a water based demo to visualize voltage and resistance, and a maze demo showing how electricity “finds” the path of least resistance. ElectroBoom probably won’t teach you too much, but can show some interesting things you can do. EEVblog has some good lectures. For specific applications Digikey and Texas Instruments have some basics, and there are many lectures online available.
I think the questions you asked are a little more on the physics side than the electrical side, and the specifics I think of as a dark art that comes with experience. In general most capacitors you see are blocking DC on an AC circuit, coupling capacitors that are smoothing the power circuit, or capacitors to control/tune something specific. Those control values would be given in a datasheet. Resistors are often going to be current limiting, voltage dividing, or “pulling” a high impedance signal. To design something you often just need the rule of thumb, and not necessarily a deep understanding of “why”.
- Comment on How should I get started? 8 months ago:
I guess my question to you would be what are your goals? Do you have a project in mind? Do you have a technology, Analog, RF, MCU, FPGA, embedded design? I tend to learn a new thing better when I have an end goal or project to work towards. Depending on where your starting from, a pi might be a good place to start too. You still have most of the I/O and busses of an Arduino, but you can program everything in python, and you have the resources of a full OS too.
