"Etoiles éteintes", c'est une petite BD #solarpunk de deux pages dans un futur plutôt doux où on a un peu moins d'énergie. ✨🍃
(Je l'avais fait pour un concours dont le thème était "la vie en 2050" et franchement, j'aimerai beaucoup que la vie ce soit ça en 2050 et que notre seul problème soit le manque d'électricité et pas le fascisme par exemple)
It would be nice to have positive representations of media too. Not "in", but "of": examples I can point to for
"here's how to organise the restorative justice part of sharing life with other people" (Rastamouse? There must be others) or
"here's what living with UBI might do for artists and disabled people" (uhhh, yeah idk star trek?) or
"multiple ways to use drones and graphics tablets in community centres" (like delivering medication -- icr the podcast but I think it was a BBC one about "Future Perfect" or global health? or letting people use them to draw, learn 3D modelling, practice animation, sign documents, etc.

I actually managed to find some replacement belts for my og breadmaker. It's been on my to-do list for awhile. I got another one gifted to me due to the previous owner not using it anymore/downsizing earlier this year. Been using that one for a good bit of time now. The belts arrived today, so naturally installed it. My og breadmaker has new life and now...I'm unstoppable in making all of the loaves! Fixing simple things like this makes my day.
Konnte diese Nacht mal wieder nicht pennen. Hab dann die Stille genutzt, um an meiner Radioreparatur weiter zu arbeiten. Aus zwei halb kaputten RFT Stern "Party" Radios hab ich ein funktionierendes zusammengesetzt. Nu läufts wieder. Jetzt muss ich nur noch alles sauber machen. :)
Aber erstmal 'ne Runde schlafen... 😴
Hab die letzten drei Tage eine Nähmaschine repariert und wieder gängig gemacht.
Ölen, sauber machen und ein Teil musste bissl mechanisch bearbeitet werden.
Jetzt läuft sie wieder! ☺️
Morgen gehts mal raus in die Natur!
Reworking electronics for someone else is nerve wracking enough without a MASSSSSIIIVEEEE groundplane making de-soldering that much harder. I ended up mechanically destroying the parts I removed to make their extraction more possible. Soldering in new ones takes seconds compared with the half hour to safely extract the old buggers. #electronics #rework #FixingStuff
Finally working on my bicycle again. ☺️
After some work at the chainguard i now have to get the chain in the right length. Hopefully @lbehm can guide me through. 🤞

It started with a storm month ago and ended at fixing 30y old wood saw.
The storm knocked dog house roof over and inside got wet.
Today I replaced pine needles (dog's favourite sleeping matress) and spotted rotten floor.
Replaced one of the floor pillars and tried to cut new one. The saw cable failed. Dissasembled it, replaced the cable and greased the moving parts. After 30 years, no signs of wear.
Finally, fixed the house. Dog happy.

These repair videos from Not Terrible Restorations are just mesmerising. No extra music or talk. Just fixing old things to top notch condition. 🫠 #fixingstuff #restoration #youtube https://youtu.be/J31RKk_7p68
I really like the YouTube channel Electrician U. I'm no electrician, but I can pretend to be by watching this channel. I can at least intelligently troubleshoot wiring issues, and test things now. Lower voltage and Amps (like the kind that would hurt for a little bit, but not kill you). Plus I have a lot of the tools he has recommended and they totally were worth it.
I did figure out why the digital readout doesn't work on channel 2. Turns out that's by design, as the digital board is only attached to channel 1 (on the left).

"20KVDC" is nature's way of saying "don't touch". #electronics #fixingStuff #testEquipment
Now that I have some actual probes, it would appear that:
- Time/div selector only selects the 5 fastest scales for the actual trace, but the digital readout works.
- V/div selector on channel 2 works for the trace but not the digital readout
- occasionally just the screen doesn't power on, but power cycle seems to fix that.
All in all, not bad for $15. Just needs some TLC.
