- Comment on My *arrstack is setup properly but downloading is not working 6 hours ago:
That torrent has no seeds. The column seeds says 0(0).
Some torrent terminology: Seeds are clients that say they have the full download, they make the system work.
Peers are clients that are trying to download, that one shows 1(2). That implies there are two clients, and you are connected to one of them. They may also have none of the download yet, and without a seed, neither of you will.
- Comment on List for 10” equipment for homelab 4 weeks ago:
I’ve ordered a few parts from jlcpbc printed recently, the prices were beyond reasonable. (Things that I wanted a resin print for to reduce layer problems)
It may help that they have a $10 off coupon, and I stayed really close to that.
- Comment on I fixed the AC flap thing 2 months ago:
Yeah, the amount of things I’ve printed to solve a minor problem is quite a lot.
- Comment on DIY PCB making, milling or chemical etching? 2 months ago:
Fair enough. My preferred battles are getting the MCU to respond the first time. It’s a great feeling when the supplies are up and you can read the id.
- Comment on DIY PCB making, milling or chemical etching? 2 months ago:
This isn’t the kind of answer you wanted, but jlcpbc is beyond cheap if you have the budget for time. I’m getting 5 boards for less than $5 USD (coupon applied that lowered it by maybe $5). It’s made it so that I don’t have to think about chemicals for etching anymore. (I’ve done it a little but nothing recently)
- Comment on broken usbc connector- is it repairable? 3 months ago:
Those pins are toast, it’s salvageable, but the question is if it’s worth it.
Looking at the picture, it looks like it’s near an edge of the USBC connector, with some hopefully resistors attached. If these lines aren’t the high speed lines, it might work afterwards.
You’ll want thin wire, like hair thin, and you might be able to connect to the pads of the parts. It’s beyond me at USBC scale, but not impossible.
- Comment on Revisiting Rule #3 Hey everyone, as I previously mentioned the rules here are 3 months ago:
I’ve got my steam library loaded, and I’ll soon have a set of emulators. It’s all streamed from the hosting pc, from a set of docker containers that auto load/unload
- Comment on Revisiting Rule #3 Hey everyone, as I previously mentioned the rules here are 3 months ago:
So… I started “Self hosting” wolf/games on whales this past week from my laptop, this lets me play easy on the tv with a gamepad, and with some tweaks, will let my kid play while I use the laptop. ( games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/…/quickstart.html). This does want a decent gaming pc though.
Very neat stuff overall.
Bazzite running on a framework 16, my only complaint is the fans.
- Comment on op amp performance: what factors affect quality? Example case ua741 (bottom) versus NE5532 (top) audio signals, why is NE5532 better, what specific factors contribute to its superiority? 1 year ago:
The difference you’re seeing is gain bandwidth product. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain–bandwidth_product the 741 rolls off at 1MHz and the 5532 rolls off at 10MHz, so it’ll go about a decade higher frequency at about the same performance.
If you want the layout difference, in the 741 datasheet look at section 7.2, and on the ne5532, section 8.2, the schematic is different.
On top of that, the 741 was released in 1968, vs 1979 for the 5532. 10 years is huge.
Edit: in case I went too deep: decade in log terms, so if at your gain the 741 degrades at 20khz the 5532 should hit 200khz, all else being equal.
- Comment on How do I get started designing and making and/or acquiring my own pcb? 1 year ago:
If I recall, Altium has a free tier, it’s my driver for work, so I use that. As for acquiring a designed board, jlcpcb is a good, inexpensive PCB fab (there are others, but jlc has been surprisingly good for my use)
If you need assembly, too, some do it, it’s not cheap though.
