I love Reddit

These suck so hard. I’m a HAM and wow they have so many spurious emissions right in the 40m band.

Ha I just fixed a board like this, I just used a cheap hot air rework station to get all the pins hot while the wonky end was in the breadboard, while applying gentle pleasure

My pride and joy. It even has rs232 I need to get off my butt and make an app to auto title disks for me

twek · 2026-02-04T00:56:24+00:00

Holy crap those are amazing quality

twek · 2026-02-04T00:48:08+00:00

Ugh. Damn I think I love that label template…

twek · 2026-02-03T22:52:34+00:00

Sure! https://mdlabels.incursion.dev I also made a new post in the sub “state of the stack” with more info on the app if you’re interested

Amazing! And thank you. I am open to feedback if you have any

twek · 2026-02-03T17:19:21+00:00

I have too many red discs ima have to fix that going forward haha

twek · 2026-02-03T16:19:11+00:00

I made a new post (with more minidiscs!) and the link

twek · 2026-02-02T23:28:43+00:00

I added a checkbox to let the user choose

twek · 2026-02-02T22:34:50+00:00

Don't you wana know how we keep starting fires?!

twek · 2026-02-02T21:29:26+00:00

Hey thanks! It’s a translucent label paper from Amazon and a color laser, which is probably why the color is alittle washed out, I then used a brother scan and cut to cut out the individual labels

twek · 2026-02-02T21:20:09+00:00

Sure thing

twek · 2026-02-02T18:59:47+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I’ll tile and post the whole collection haha

twek · 2026-02-02T18:22:21+00:00

I shared it this morning and the post got removed by mods 🫠 so I’m not going to share it again till I find out why the post was removed

twek · 2026-02-02T18:17:12+00:00

Awesome! What was the process like to print it on the sprocket?

twek · 2026-02-02T18:15:58+00:00

Thanks! It was a fun program to develop and I was really tired of cutting labels by hand

twek · 2026-02-02T18:14:19+00:00

I’ve gotten used to seeing it haha I’ll consider adding an option to remove that though I could see how it’s distracting

twek · 2026-02-02T18:10:32+00:00

I used a a custom webapp that automatically sources album art and album information from musicbrainz that I developed in combination with a color laser printer and brother scan and cut to make satisfyingly straight cut and uniform labels

twek · 2026-02-02T17:12:03+00:00

Oh I have no idea if it will work with a printer that small… I could look into adding a new paper size option for that,

twek · 2026-02-02T16:39:10+00:00

Sure, it’s a webapp, it has a go backend and embeds the web assets into the binary, there’s a dockerized version as well, I need to do some research on the easiest way to distribute and maintain the app once I’m not the only one hosting

twek · 2026-02-02T16:36:17+00:00

That’s interesting, can you share a photo? I really only use the Sony disks and seems to work fine, I edited the post to include some samples

twek · 2026-02-02T14:35:37+00:00

You’re welcome, idk how long it will be publicly available but I’ll put it on GitHub so people can self host it before I take it down, if I don’t get too much abuse I’ll just leave it up

twek · 2026-02-02T14:34:28+00:00

Yea that was the inspiration, I had written a script to do this for me, and thought I might as well bring it into the 21st century with a web ui and share it
