My way of rebelling against techbros and autocrats:
December 2024: quit all Big Tech platforms and start #selfhosting essential services
December 2025: write guides for newbies about how to self-host
I'm also in discussion with a blogger I admire to start a podcast about tech... where we'll focus on solutions (instead of problems)... aiming to inspire others to join in...
It's been a really heavy year but these little acts of rebellion give me hope ✨

@_elena still no simple FTP server that doesn't require 287302723 different config files with 0xDEADBEEF command line options.
Honestly if a ftp server is more complicated than `ftpserver $HOME --write --read` then it is a failed one.

I love it and that is why I added your RSS to #TidySearch 🥰

@_elena My way of rebelling: Teach compsci whilst painting a positive vision for computing, to show how narrow-minded these powerful fools are!
And yes, I would check out your podcast.

@_elena its so fun switching off these mega-corp platforms and apps. you realize you don't actually need most of them at all.

@_elena As a busy dad, i dont have the time to set things up any more, and self hosting is seldom plug and play... I set up Home Assistant on a raspi, but it took time. More plug and play self hosting pls! 🙂 And i dont want to have 100 raspberry pis running things neither, so some sort of virtualization would be nice also.

Great idea 🙌🏻 !
I think a podcast could reach even more ppl, who rather listen to podcasts than reading longer blogs. Maybe even with guests sometimes 🤷🏻?
With your projects you’re not just giving yourself hope, but also others 😊 🚀

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

Gli arroganti non sono sciocchi
Non confondeteli, è l'arroganza che li fa comportare da sciocchi, ma se c'è arroganza è quello che sono
La morte toglie le maschere, e nudi si vede quel che sono
Senza più niente a nasconderli, nessun posto dove scappare
Compagni d'inferno si vede quel che siete
-
Solo il modesto si salverà, non l'arrogante
E non c'è che arroganza dovunque
-
Avete voluto la fine del mondo
Senza sapere cosa avrebbe significato
-
Chi protegge gli innocenti se il lupo è salito in alto?
Chi lo ferma ora
Lo sapete che il lupo caccia per primi i cuccioli, e voi glieli avete consegnati?
-
L'unica cosa che posso fare è trovare quella voce che mi ha condannato e mi vuole fuori di lì
Ascoltare piano il sussurro che porta alla luce
O alla fine
-
Cosa posso fare se il mio cuore è abitato da un inferno?
Cosa posso fare se ritengo che è giusto?
Cosa posso fare se voglio cacciare tutti e chiudere la porta?

DIY Reflow Plate Runs On USB Power Delivery
If you’re working with surface mount components, you’re likely going to want a reflow plate at some point. [Vitaly] was in need of just such a tool, and thus whipped up a compact reflow plate that is conveniently powered via USB-C.
This reflow rig is designed for smaller work, with a working area of 80 mm x 70 mm. There are two options for the heating element—either a metal core PCB-based heater, or a metal ceramic heater. The former is good for working with Sn42Bi58 solder paste at 138 C, according to [Vitaly], while the latter will happily handle Sn63Pb37 at 183 C if the dirty stuff is more your jam.
Running the show is an ESP32-C3-WROOM, which serves up a web-based control panel over Bluetooth for setting the heating profiles. Using Bluetooth over WiFi might seem like an odd choice at first, but it means you don’t have to add the hot plate to the local wireless network to access it, handy if you’re on the move. It’s also worth noting that you can’t run this off any old USB charger—you’ll need one compatible with USB Power Delivery (PD) that can deliver at least 100 watts.
If you’re needing to whip up small boards with regularity, a hotplate like this one can really come in handy. Files are on GitHub for those eager to build their own.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen USB-C powering a small reflow plate. Of course, if you make your PCBs self heating, you can sidestep all that entirely.
