Thanks for this !

I've found a couple models in the 20-30€ range, I will try those.

« Pouvoir s'affranchir d'une entité tierce » c'est bien beau mais dans les faits c'est bien plus complexe en fonction de ton niveau, lieu ou mode de vie.

Aujourd'hui pas mal de produits de vie ne sont accessibles à des coûts abordables que via des plateformes en ligne.

Si on peut se débrouiller en liquide pour les produits du quotidien dans les villes, là où je vie le premier distributeur est à 35km. Le meilleur moyen d'en obtenir c'est via du cashback à l'épicerie du coin, avec des frais assez importants.

D'autant plus que ton salaire, si tu veux avoir accès à la protection sociale, cotiser etc. bref déclarer, tu es dans l'obligation d'avoir et d'utiliser un compte en banque, donc une entité tierce, centralisée.

Je souhaites pas défendre ce système, que je trouve à chier, mais le fait est que c'est non seulement compliqué, et pas réaliste pour une bonne part de la population de simplement refuser de l'utiliser.

Yes I've been thinking a lot about lighting. My sight problems are greatly impacted by the lack of light.

I already have a 2 led lamps, they provide enough light and have a great range of motion.

Maybe one day I'll go with a ring lamp w/ or w/out a magnifier on it, but I already know that for soldering this is not enough for me (a friend of mine lent me one a couple of years ago).

That's the kind that most friends advised me. But their is a lot of models, and I'm not entirely sure which one are wearable with glasses or not.

I guess I'll go with a on-table device later.

Advice for tool ; bad sight (piefed.blahaj.zone)
 

Hello,

I am a student / cleaner worker in EU. I do digital (mainly Intel 8051 and 6502) and analog (for mod synth) electronic, in a very low budget DIY way.

The thing is, I mainly work on breadboards, because my bad sight don't allow me to do very good soldering. However, I've been desoldering, scrapping and repairing PCB and electronics for like 5/6 years now, and it is still very hard despite this (little) experience.

I have success on THT with big components, although this is not the cleanest work. I would like to reduce the form factor of my work / stabilise it, but this often means smaller components, maybe SMD, and tight spaces, which I currently can't work well with.

In the last 2 years I've been searching for accommodations, things like better soldering iron, smaller tips (Currently for tight spaces and small pads I use thin Pinecil tips), better quality tin (with lead), flux, building helping hands, desolderings tools and consumables etc... This helps a lot but this is really not enough. I know that, in the end, I need some sort of magnification device.

The thing is, magnification devices are not cheap, at least for good quality and usability. I also don't have the money to "just try" one. I've been reading review, watching videos about some, talking to some friends etc.. but most people either don't have sight issues, or have "this very expensive microscope that only engineers can afford". This also comes with the fact that I fear to need to wear my glasses when using the device.

Soooo, I was wondering if there was some people out here with the same issues, or with experiences on some tools etc... any tips is welcome :)

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, I didn't find it. If so, please link to the thread I'll be very happy :)

xoxo

How did you settle on a name? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] melimosa@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Was high, and reading the journal. Phased on the name of somebody and then choose.

It was like "Yeah... this one, I like it"

Hey !

On the last 4 years I've been working full time / having a lot of occupations the rest of the time, and yeah ... it sucks.

Depending on my social situation I have two main solutions :

  1. Organizing with people : when I live w/ people we often organize for food preparation. Someday somebody will pack lunch for everybody in the house in the morning / the evening, or the week-end for the week.
  2. Doing biiiig meal on the week-end, for the whole week / half the week: Things like broths can be really well conserved, as well as sandwich ingredients etc... You are not obligated to do full meal, you can also prep some parts to lightweight meal prep during the week etc... This ofc depends on when and how you have free-time.

This also comes with alarm clock, reminder etc... so I don't fck up my rhythm.

Also, I am vegetarian and had a lot of financial issues lately, this was also a strategy I / we used to buy food from wholesale merchants.
