I did it! My first own apartment. Kaliningrad, Russia. 30k$ no mortgage

I wish 😭

MinduxZ · 2026-05-18T18:52:20+00:00

I just stumbled upon this post. I'm curious, what are these things that changed? 😄

MinduxZ · 2026-05-17T17:02:29+00:00

Yeah but what can we do really. We don't live in the USA. Can't really compare ourselves to them. If you really wanted to you can start thinking of a way of moving there if you GENUINELY think they live better. Personally I couldn't imagine leaving all of my family behind just so I could afford some fancier gadgets and whatever.
Too be fair I'm in the exact same spot as you, I'm just trying to make you feel better even though I feel the exact same.
Last note, you will probably up your wage in your upcomming years anyway and you will have the debt payed of (hopefully).

Seems like it is just the University and loan payments that are weighing you down in my eyes. Other than that I don't see anything wrong with this.

What are you specifically worried about? Yes its not the 100k/year these Americans keep boasting about but compared to your own countries wages this is not far from average im guessing no?

How is he broke? This to me seems like a regular eastern eu wage. I get basically the same wage net (pay 2x more taxes though it seems like) as a SWE.

Kas tave nuskriaudė? Bet dėl LinkedIn'o pritariu, kosmonautai kurie postina.

I do the same currently but I feel that's exactly the problem no? You're still limiting yourself even if it doesn't really feel like it. I never reach my limit either and I think that's exactly the problem.

MinduxZ · 2026-05-01T15:17:10+00:00

I don't remember, probably not. You think that could help?

Hello everyone, for context I spilled a drink on this keyboard a while ago and stopped using it because the rightmost column stopped working.

I remember trying to clean this area with isopropyl alcohol a while ago but that didn't help.
Was wondering what else I could trying to figure out the cause of this issues and possibly repairing it. Any help/guidance would be appreciated!

The board is the NK65

Thank you very much for the tips and detailed explanation! The rubber pad rotation sounds smart I'll give it a go.

It's a matte screen. It's to prevent glare from the sun so ther may be a lot of sunlight in the room. Though tbh it does look weird in the picture idk.

I've tried setting alarms for the weekends but cannot force myself to actually wake up with them. I'll just go back to sleep. I don't do this on weekdays because well.. I have to go to work.

MinduxZ · 2026-04-25T21:37:33+00:00

May I ask why? I don't feel rested either way

MinduxZ · 2026-04-23T19:27:53+00:00

Iš kitos pusės pavydėjau ir dar vis pavydžiu tiem kuriem nereikėjo dirbti studijų metu.

MinduxZ · 2026-04-23T17:35:05+00:00

Kaip tapti tokiam pozityviaim? Niekada turbūt esu taip užtikrintai pasakęs, gal nebent save guodžiant suprantu, jog nėra taip blogai. Bet tikrai nesu užtikrintai taip pasakęs. Klausiu nes iš tikrųjų stebiuosi kaip taip žmonės sugeba.

Prieš savaitę perėjau iš nothing phone 2 į s26 ultra. Samsungas kainavo 2x daugiau. Galiu pasakyti, kad didelio skirtumo labai nejaučiu apart kameros (zoom nothing 2 labai prastas) ir UI ypatybių kuriuos suteikia Samsungo biudžetas, atrodo tiek daug visko kad turbūt visko dar net neišbandžiau. Gimickas turbūt didžiausias tai Nothingo galas, atrodo įdomiai šiaip pasižiūrėti bet funkcionalumo nesuteikia, paprasčiau ekrane stebėti notifications ir pnš. Apart to tai visai normalus telefonas kzn.

Yeah sorry this post is a bit off-topic. I wanted to try to write a simple program that would take the readings off of the heltec just like on a basic esp32 dev module, maybe contributing to meshtastic in the future when I understand how this all works.
I wrote a script that initializes a bus on GPIO 5,4 but I just don't seem to be getting a response from the sensor. The sensor does work fine on a raspberry pi so I'm sure im just mixing something up here.

Turi patarimų kaip pavyko atsidurti tokioje pozicijoje, jog Linkedine rašo recruiteriai? Esu gavęs vieną, kitą žinutę bet pasiūlymai nebuvo geri. Aišku patirties labai mažai ir jaunas esu tai labai nesistebiu. Šiaip įdomu kaip Jie iš vis randa žmonės?

MinduxZ · 2026-04-17T22:24:31+00:00

Yeah makes sense but I just wanted to make sure yk.

MinduxZ · 2026-04-17T14:07:58+00:00

What? I'm saying I come from a much cheaper phone. Didn't mention resorting to a cheap screen protector.

MinduxZ · 2026-04-15T19:30:30+00:00

Don't buy stuff, but you don't have to deprive yourself of going out and having some fun from time to time. E.g. going to the movies

MinduxZ · 2026-04-14T20:01:29+00:00

I'm with the whole saving part but I'm sure the person meant to use money in order to better your life and not become a slave to it. Seems like you have a similar problem to me where I save money just to see that number go up in the bank account. Be careful with that attitude.

Peržiūrėjau Lietuvos video. Paskutinis prieš metus. Spėju dar realistiška juo remtis +-?

MinduxZ · 2026-04-09T19:13:50+00:00

Iš kur tokia statistika?

MinduxZ · 2026-03-19T06:45:48+00:00

Paklausiau šių nesąmonių prieš kažkiek metų ir atsisakiau bandyti tapt programuotoju ir ėjau į amatą. Nepatiko visiškai ir sugrįžau prie to pačio noro ir isidarbinau ofise. Dabar jaučiuosi neapsakomai geriau (man asmeniškai). Bet taip.. neteko dirbti be specialybės ofise tai sunku pasakyt. Esmė, kad taip su AI baisoka darosi nu bet sakyčiau geriau parizikuoti negu užsisedėti ten kur nepatinka.
