There are 2 things I fix quite regularly

Computers ๐Ÿ’ป
Bikes ๐Ÿšฒ

Computers

  • it might not be fixable
  • if it is I can easily work out precisely what I need and how to get it
  • iFixit will provide pretty much any info I need

Bikes

  • unless it needs welding it's probably fixable
  • trying to work out what piece I need is often a nightmare
  • even if I can work it out, I often can't find someone who will ship it
  • fitting it is an annoying process of trial and error and guides are really patchy
cdamian,
@cdamian@rls.social avatar

@jon I don't really see those problems for my bikes.

  • I can get manuals with part numbers for my bikes, wheels, and accessories
  • there are large online shops who will have these parts
  • many good guides on how to fix stuff from park tools & co, or just random YouTube videos.

It can be expensive, especially if you need specialised tools.

Some parts are not made to be serviced at home, by design. I am especially annoyed by Bosch motors. I hope future right-to-repair regulations will help.

@cdamian@rls.social avatar

@jon Not the lower end, but also a hybrid, a Tern, BMX.
You are probably right, no-brand model will be harder to get parts for. On the other hand, they will also use fewer special parts.

Both leadership podcasts about managers and coaching are excellent.

The post about remote work is also interesting. People are different, so are organisations.

Super fun house ownership problems: we canโ€™t find our septic tankโ€ฆdespite knowing approximately where it is. Iโ€™m starting to suspect itโ€™s really really far down so no matter how far we dig weโ€™re not going to reach it. Itโ€™s this concrete box in the bottom left of the photo.

FREE CASSETTE DECK!

Here's the deal: I have too many #cassette decks and I want to give one away, along with 20 cassettes.

Why? I love the format, I love the ritual, I love the analogue warmth, and I love introducing people to what tape sounds like on a really good #hifi deck. The fully serviced Sony 3 head Dolby S deck has a headphone socket, so you won't even need an amp or speakers.

#UK only (sorry) and all you need to do is reply with what you want to play on it and I'll pick one.

Easy!

@woodpunk that's a great deck, I hope it finds a good owner.

    I don't see how Donald Trump can get a fair trial in New York City. All of the jurors are likely to be Americans. How can they be expected to treat someone who tried to violently overthrow their republic in a balanced way? The trial should probably be moved to somewhere less attached to the ongoing existence of a free and democratic United States.

    cdamian,
    @cdamian@rls.social avatar

    @ian
    I was thinking the same, but then you have to find people outside of the US who would be ok with Trump.
    I guess Russia would be an option.

    WHERE THE WEB IS GOING: The convergence of LLMs and web advertising will lead to "ads" consisting of several hundred gigabytes of javascript containing a (weighted) neural network designed to generate unique per-user video advertisementsโ€”generated on your computer at your expense to ensure the imagery is unique and evades AI-based ad-blockers.

    "AI spam" is an entire AI, squatting on your CPU and making it glow dull red as it works out how to capture your attention.

    Welcome to the spamularity.

    cdamian,
    @cdamian@rls.social avatar

    @cstross You are just trying to cheer us up, right? I can see a pattern.

    • A spam in every home.
    • Worldwide connected spam.
    • Social spam to share with your friends.
    • A spam in every pocket.
    • Spam on things.
    • Addictive scroll spam.
    • Artificial spam that keeps you company.

    Did I miss one, spam, or twenty?

    Some cheerful urbanism news this week. It is especially great to see how Paris is progressing.

    If you are looking for a remote job, async working, a fast-growing company, nice colleagues, and are interested in Elixir, this is the place to be.

    I recommend looking at our handbook: https://handbook.remote.com/
