  • I run my own mail server with rspamd. It learns spam automatically based on the emails I move into the Spam folder and gives new incoming mails a probability score. If the probability of an email being spam is over a certain threshold, it gets moved into the Spam folder automatically or deleted entirely.

    It works extremely well! But I also share my mailserver with a few friends and we have a collection of spam that spans ~20 years, which is a great dataset for training tools like these.


  • Give Voyager one final, long episode with a proper sendoff (instead of the half-assed one they did), where we can see how the characters actually ended up in the coming years. With an epic orchestral soundtrack, at least one really good space battle scene and a lot of pathos, it deserves it! ST: Picard is also considered non-canon (the first two seasons have been a shitshow and the third was just nostalgia-bait anyway). So nothing that happened to Seven of Nine in that plotline ever officially happened and the final Voyager episode can utilize some talented writers to make it good.

    …and also delete the episode where some crew members become animals and bang each other, because excuse me, what the fuck was that?






  • Group work is really nice when you’re working with intelligent, competent and reliable people. I have worked in amazing groups before and sometimes, I really miss it.

    But I absolutely hate when I am forced to work on a project with unmotivated colleagues that do their bare minimum and use ChatGPT for everything. In my last job I was often fixing or doing their work, increasing my own workload.

    At the moment, I am working alone and remote. I’m getting loads of shit done and I can finally breathe. Sometimes I wish I had at least one competent colleague again, though. But times are tough and good employees cost money…













  • Can you post a gear list?

    • Hotair / Soldering station: Aoyue Int 986A
    • Solder Sucker: Aoyue Int474A++
    • Preheater: Aoyue Int853A Pro
    • Solder: Sn62Pb36Ag2 (lowest melting point, hard to get because of regulations, but available on the Praud store from Poland for example)
    • Flux: Kingbo RMA-218 (available on Aliexpress, the variant in syringes is very easy to apply)
    • Convenience:
      • a brass wool sponge for removing the solder from the tip
      • a very long and thin drill bit if too much solder ever gets stuck inside the solder sucker (cleaning one of those out is a bitch)
      • tweezers

    Have a lot of fun! Soldering get’s really easy if you have the right gear. Swapping out the crappy amazon solder with the good stuff from Praud made the biggest difference, imho. You can already solder a lot of stuff with a 30W soldering iron from the hobby store, but flux and solder are what’s really important.

    There’s a lot of really cheap solder on amazon with way too high melting points. Sometimes the sellers just lie on their datasheet, I once fell for CFH fake solder which barely melted, even when I had my iron on overdrive. It wasn’t me, it was the crappy and fake product!
