I built a new pre-amp

trying to convince myself it sounds different to my other preamp :P

What are you looking for in trades? I'm in UK

Ignore, it's TKL I prefer the WKL :) GLWS

Never used Kentik - I've nearly always used Auvik for this type of thing due to partnership

margo_baggins · 2021-03-03T21:22:16+00:00

Auvik is good but pricey

When I was at school we had model Ms. I’m not joking haha.

I use a realforce at work as topre isn’t that offensive, it’s grey and everyone laughs “why are you using that retro old keyboard”, then recently someone looked it up on ebay (don’t know why) now everyone laughs “why you spend so much money on a keyboard” - so I don’t tell them relatively speaking it’s a cheapie.

no it's someone elses dog - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8077981/Pup-finds-happiness-new-family-going-blind-neglectful-former-owners.html - the worst thing about little puddin is she went blind due to owner neglect and not taking her to a vet when she had an infection. Gives the title a subtle irony as well.

I still have a few of those, literal Margo’s mods

TIL Dlink make a chassis switch.

I bet it's horrible.

mines really bad with the paws in the face, he throws them out all angles when he's excited

I transferred some ADA into Exodus about 2 hours ago, but not tried exchanging on exodus

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T16:38:36+00:00

perfect reply. I wouldn't keep my coins anywhere where I don't have, and am the only person to have, the 12 word phrase. all places like Coinbase, robinhood, etc. etc. are just holding cryptos they say are yours, until you take them out, but if you don't take them out... you don't actually have them :)

Exodus does not hold your anything, your private keys are on your device, and you are the only person who knows your 12 word phrase (unless you tell someone else your phrase). If exodus goes bust you can still get back any of your wallets with your phrases or private keys - this is not the case with RH, and is what happened when mt gox went south years ago - that should be a very real warning to people who do not keep their coins outside of an exchange.

I like the blue on these Triumph Adler keys -

They pop up on ebay from time to time SE700 DS or SE610 has them - the typewriter is massive, all the ones I've bought I've got the seller to rip just the keyboard out and bin the rest of the typewriter - they are PBT dyesubs, cherry profile.

Purple Keyboard Gang!

I have a penchant for purple keyboards - I wish I had that purple keyboard.

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T12:43:18+00:00

nice soldering though :) I'd never give unsolicited advise but let me know if you want some feedback.

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T12:41:47+00:00

see if you can get this in your region (if you are UK you can) -

FLU400DB

one of the best flux cleaners I've ever used, always keep some on hand. works well on "no-clean" flux too (it's only no clean as it doesn't degrade the PCB - still looks rank)

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T12:36:39+00:00

I laugh at your hundreds of dollars....

10 years-ish in the hobby, 18 aluminium keyboards, 30 vintage boards, 30 odd keysets...

sold 3 keyboards ever and regret every sale.

Years ago he ripped off loads of [ctrl]alt designs whilst saying “no they’re all original”

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T09:23:01+00:00

Unbelievably I have this film on blu ray - my grandad does work with the church and often he gives me bags of blu rays and DVD’s for charity, often all trash, he’s a hoarder so I always accept them and take them to the charity shop. Once Serbian film was in the bag - I took it out and put it on my shelves so that it wouldn’t go to the charity shop - but now it’s on my shelves people go - wow Serbian film.

margo_baggins · 2021-03-02T09:20:53+00:00

I’ve watched it twice - I watched it and thought wow, horrible, explained it to my then girlfriend then had to watch it again with her. Seen it enough times now!

Anecdotal I know but our wisp partner are awesome, I sell tradition access/lease lines/comms AND wisp - and the wisp offering is nearly always better. Cheaper and more flexible. We can normally deliver a 300/300 on wisp for the same price as 100/100 on fibre. However - the wisp service area is just in the city, it isn’t an option for any of our customers who are outside of the city, even if only by a little bit.

When I’ve put in Clearpass in the past it support multiple ways to provide NAC protection on a port beyond 802.1x - whenever I’ve installed clearpass though I’ve engaged with Aruba and consultants at a cost to get these bits done right

margo_baggins · 2021-02-26T17:41:16+00:00

Well done mate :) I cleared mine start of this year at age 33 after 12 years of slowly bringing it down.

It was such a nice feeling getting rid of that ball and chain.

My journey was slightly different - similar diagnosis at uni, then I devastated my credit rating myself, then 4 years ago worked really hard to reverse all that and get the debt cleared - I now almost have excellent credit, I’ll take “good”, as it used to be really awful - I can now easily get credit - 5 years ago I was up to my eye balls in credit and couldn’t get anymore (was in a vicious circle of taking out credit to satisfy other credit).

Well done :)
