Any specific brand recommendations? Asking for a friend of course.

Lol, fair enough.

Is Mastadon different?

But they don’t make them anymore :(

Thanks for the suggestion, I was looking at buying another soldering iron. I’m using a really obscure brand one that I got from my dad and that I have been using since I was around 8 (30 years ago).

I can only get replacement tips in South Africa so was looking for something with more support.

Honest question, how long is the fluid supposed to last? And I’m not talking about burning time. I have a zippo, I fill it, a few weeks later I go to use it and the flame lasts a few seconds as the fuel finishes.

Felt the same about Lemmy when I signed up.

Looks like you can download and install it using this:

https://store.rg-adguard.net/

Paste in the product url and select retail.

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3t6

It will take a little Google to see which files to DL and how to install them.

I’m going to keep a copy on my PC now that I know it’s been taken down.

Wait, you can’t downland it from their store at all anymore?

No, it’s adjacent to 3D Paint. I never really liked 3D Paint actually.

For parametric modelling, that’s super easy and you can get into it pretty quickly, but organic modelling is a whole different story and is what takes the hundreds of hours.

While I’ve messed around in Maya and 3DS Max, its so much more difficult than parametric and Modifying high poly models requires tons of ram and a beefy PC. I spent a month trying to bake a bump map onto a model so that I could 3D print it and 90% of the time the applications crashed, Maya, 3DS and Blender all crashed when trying to do it, and none of them could do it right either. I pretty much gave up on that.

May not be a popular opinion, but if you just want to fix shit like that, you can use Microsoft 3D Builder, it’s super simple and pretty powerful.

Modifying existing meshes is difficult, especially more complex ones, I find that this makes it much easier to fix dumb shit or make simple modifications.

Frying pan (Google) meet the fire (Apple)

They’ve been doing it in South Africa for decades.

I think my main complaint with fixing them is that they use solder with high silver content and it’s a real bitch to melt.

Seriously, learn how to replace the sticks and get TMR sticks. I hate how wasteful people are. That’s 10 controllers in the landfill for nothing.

It’s been a few months but I as far as I remember used all the same mounting options

It’s doing something different, I was using to mount an AWS FSx for ZFS share on a beefy machine (1.2GB/s network throughput) and was getting less than 50MB/s throughput using docker to mount it, but getting the full 1.2GB/s when mounted outside and mapped to a volume in the container.

I found this to be extremely underperforming. If you plan on doing anything that requires high throughput, don’t use the docker NFS operator.
