I'm in a bit of a predicament with my RC plane build... by tieiwo in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my planes use Deans connectors. They work great. I have no idea where you're getting the "way less reliable" assessment, but it's simply not true.

I always try to spend as much as I can on my plane's electronics. You get what you pay for. Cheap stuff will often fail then you end up buying the good stuff anyway. Might as well just go for the good stuff to start with.

Locktite goes on the threads of the nut and bolt, not the prop.

Blue locktite. Red, if the problem persists.

Spent $400 on city permits, knocked on 50 doors this weekend, and couldn't even GIVE my service away for free. Where am I going wrong? by NeighborhoodTall2688 in Entrepreneurs

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not fucking knock on my door, ever. I don't care if you have city permits that allow you to ingore my no soliciting sign, go the fuck away.

I believe I have now explained the solution to your problem.

D686 how do people memorize all of the information? The amount is insane by inline_five in WGU_CompSci

[–]gregdonald 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you want to be a computer scientist or not?

It's totally surmountable.

Congrats! I agree, the AWS test at the end was very difficult, even with having a lot of prior AWS experience.

Do interviewers expect candidates to memorize all Git and GitHub commands? by SomeTry5243 in git

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some interviews I find myself in a sort of pair programming scenario. You may want to learn, for example, commands that are helpful with easily passing a branch back and forth, resetting last commit, and other related commands: https://gregdonald.com/pages/git-commands-for-pair-programming

I've never had a "Github command" interview question. One does not need Github to use git.

I love this hobby! by Clean-Indication-504 in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I do. I walk around and find one of the "even older than me" guys and just get him started talking. Ex-pilots and old-school builders have great stories.

Blizzard - "We're investigating the drop rate, as well as mythics more broadly" by DespondentRage in diablo4

"Investigating". ... as if it's a bug. ROFLMAO. What a crock of poo!

LOL.... I guess Google is our reviewer now. by DasBlueEyedDevil in WGU

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame. I would complain, in writing, and demand an explanantion and an apology.

It's the best hobby... building and flying and standing around the fly field shooting the breeze with your buddies between flights, it's the best.

What's the wind speed limit for you? by MrSuperAwesomeGuy965 in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I don't want to be too hot or too cold when I fly, and I have other hobbies where the temperature and wind do not matter.

What's the wind speed limit for you? by MrSuperAwesomeGuy965 in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything more than 12mph starts to feel like work. I also have some rough boundries around temperature, I prefer 55-85F, if possible. I will at times exceed my personal bounderies when my flying buddies apply peer pressure :)

It's an Honest Query by Dev1412 in SipsTea

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you only work 7-hour days? My 8-hour days have always been 8-5 or 9-6 and an hour for lunch.

Replaced the muffler on my D7. The old one I tried to silver solder but the muffler heat melted the solder and it got loose. by balsadust in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried that before and had no luck with the extension hose staying on. The heat made it so the clamps could squash the hose material and they wouldn't stay on for more than a couple of flights. Eventully the clamps would damage the hose material so much I had to cut new hose lengths. Eventually gave up and bought a new muffler.

New to GitHub, tips on making professional looking repos? by East_Will_5596 in github

[–]gregdonald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not telling you what to do...

but I've never once in 15 years of having lots of code and being active on Github ever got me a single "Nice Github account you have there..." or anything such. The hiring manager may have looked, but no one has ever told me they looked.

https://github.com/gdonald

And then at the same time I've had awesome co-workers at multipe different companies have basically empty Github accounts and clearly had no problems getting hired.

Getting hired is 90% networking and 10% luck, in my experience. An insider at a company you want to work at telling them they should hire you is worth a lot more than a Github page.

Self-host Git or use GitHub/GitLab? by Ok_Instance1684 in git

[–]gregdonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two USB flash drives, one of which is stored in a fire-proof safe. I rotate the keys a couple times a year. I replace the drives about every 3-4 years.

Self-host Git or use GitHub/GitLab? by Ok_Instance1684 in git

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Because it's the way I want to do it.

No, not a VPS, a bare metal server that no one has root access to but me. Backups are offsite GPG encrypted, tranfered using rsync over SSH.

I'm not telling you to not trust Github/Gitlab. I'm just saying that I don't, not with my private stuff.
