#askfediverse — Public Fediverse posts

Okay nerds (affectionate). I spent not a little time DuckDuckGoing earlier for advice on this front, but wasn't able to get sufficient information that satisfied me, so I'm #AskingFedi for advice from #DIYers and other creative people.

As of late, I've been finding myself out at night in areas with less street lighting and whatnot (think local parks that don't close at sunset, but at a set time year round). I picked up a pair of small LED headlamps on sale today to help with that. Set to the low setting, they're fine, and I'm usually using my phone while out doing these things... but it occurs to me that since I have two of these, it might not hurt to modify one to a more night vision friendly red color instead.

Most information I've found for projects of this sort are designed for small 2x AA or AAA wand style flashlights, and usually are just like "buy some red wrapping cellophane and rubber band a couple to few layers over the end of the flashlight" which given the form factor of my light isn't ideal. I did also eye tape designed for temporarily fixing car tail light housings, but wasn't sure how well something like that would work on a flashlight.

How would you go about making a red lens cover/filter for a small headlamp? I attached a picture of the units I bought, if that's a help for what sort of advice you might give.

Edit: More information that's come up in the replies I've gotten so far: I don't have a soldering iron and don't think I know anyone local with one I can borrow, so replacing the LED with a red one is probably not within the budget constraints I had in mind here. It does look like the front plate of the light will come off with a hex or star bit if I do find a soldering iron to borrow, so that idea isn't completely out. Someone has suggested I look for a broken bike tail light and rig up an attachment with magnets, so I might poke my nose in at a local bike shop and see if they have anything broken they could spare or sell on the cheap. Magnets are easily picked up from the place I bought the headlamps originally. I'm still open to other ideas if anyone has anything else for me to consider.

Thank you to everyone who's replied so far! ​:cyberheart_purple:​

Follow-up questions:

➡️ Aside from “work on the website” what did that person do? What else was their responsibility?

➡️ If you had to write a description for that title today in 2025, what responsibilities would you include?

#WebDevelopment #WebsiteManagement #Webmaster #JobTitles #AskFedi #WebServices #SysAdmin #AskFediverse

Once upon a time, working on a website granted you the title of "Webmaster". As the Web evolved, more specialized roles took over and the title fell out of favor.

Searching for it now, I don't find many job listings for "Webmaster". So now I'm curious: how far removed from that job title are we?

When was the last time you heard of someone with “webmaster” as their actual job title?

Gibts hier Erfahrungsberichte mit den verschiedenen pädagogischen Studienrichtungen/Ausbildungen in und um Wien?

Interessieren würden mich z.B. #UmweltPädagogik, #FreizeitPädagogik, #ErlebnisPädagogik, #TraumaPädagogik und #SonderPädagogik (schreckliches Wort) aber gern auch andere Formen, wenn es tolle Ausbildungen sind.

Wichtig wäre mir unter anderem, Vortragen und Unterrichten einfach richtig gut und modern zu lernen.
Keine Ahnung, ob das stimmt, aber bei #LehrAmt würde ich annehmen, dass da noch immer viel Frontalunterricht gelehrt wird.

#TierGestütztePädagogik Ausbildung mache ich bereits bei TAT und bin sehr begeistert.

Guys, I need help and boost are really appreciated.
Do any of you know what is the difference between Linux kernel 5.x and 6.x? Any references, like discourse page, etc. I almost know nothing about kernel and would like to know the culprit in kernel 6.x which has caused my laptop to keep freezing after booting for a while.

Thank you beforehand!

My first time using Google Sheets and trying this so-called Waterfall Chart, but I have no clues to do recreate the same thing in LibreOffice Calc.

Should I try using Office Web?

I need your #opinion!

If you know something about videos or the production of them, I need your #help

I need feedback for my last video, which is about #crochet, but includes a #vegan message, because #yarn (wool) could harm #animals, too.

Is this a good way to spread out an important message, diving slowly into the topic without throwing facts around from the first second?

What do you think about the lights, cut, camera perspective and sound?

Thank you for your time 🙂
