Can I just say how fucking stupid it is that modular PC power supplies don’t have standardized pinouts? Spent hours debugging a possible hardware fault until I realized I grabbed the wrong (old) SATA power cable from my cable box and thus the water pump only received 5v instead of 12v. Quick hack job and now everything works. Luckily it didn’t fry any hard-disks.
Heads up if you have a semi-private IRC channel with bridged #Matrix users in it. Once the channel logs arrive at the Matrix server hosting the bridge, every Matrix user can join this channel and the Matrix sever will happily provide the complete channel logs without anyone on the IRC side ever noticing.
(tested with matrix.org & freenode)
This is a HUGE privacy concern and I don’t understand why anyone would consider using Matrix. It’s flawed in so many ways.

Generally speaking producing a product in the hundreds is fucking hard. I can hand assemble a few. Economy of scales allows me to mass produce cheaply, but making only a few hundred? Pain in the ass.
Okay, so I have this idea of building an enhanced darkroom timer for myself to control safe lights and the enlarger. Sounded simple enough at first, but if I wanted to turn it into a tangible product the BOM quickly skyrocketed. But I guess that’s part of the challenge. Maybe this could be a good first product for my yet to be founded company. :D

Figured I could post about my #photography adventures here. Here’s my main camera, a Nikon F4 from 1988. The first professional auto-focus camera from Nikon. It weighs a ton and is rock solid. If I don’t feel like carrying it, I also have a few Canon A and T cameras laying around, but that’s a topic for another toot.
