CW: [Digital Volunteers needed]
Dear #fediverse,
We have created this account to support in sharing #mutualaid requests from #Palestine.
The team has unfortunately not been able to keep up with the needs of the times - so we are looking for:
#moderators , #admins or #volunteers to help manage this account
we are looking for someone who can:
- accept new followers and reshare mutual aid requests from #Gaza and #WestBankwe dont have a roadmap for what this account could look like, but you are free to think about this account and suggest ways in which we can further help together
this account was created after a similar one was #blocked and removed off of instagram, but we cant manage it alone anymore, since the original team has no capacity to manage this account
we mostly wanted to share aid iniciatives but since many people from Gaza are joining #mastodon it would be great that this account can support at least in sharing #chuffed and other links to aid requests from Gaza
- please feel free to comment in this post or send us a DM if you believe you would be up to the task of managing this account together with other #volunteers.
we are sorry if this is not enough, or if it's not the ideal way to help Gaza, but it's what we have been able to do so far.
thank you,
#FreePalestine from the genocidal zionist occupation!

Thanks to the fine folks in #Kamloops, working at & listening to #CFBX! They helped my humble little #NewAlbum named "Vivianite" to debut on their #Top30 charts! Showed up in 10th place too! #Chuffed

So after figuring out which bits to remove, I set about building it. I first tried laying it out on a single one of my custom #protoboards I posted about before. It gets very dense, and would require cutting / splitting a whole lot more of the 6-hole #pad #strips than I really wanted to do. So I built it on two boards, using the same modular connection between them that I use for the rest of my effects boards.
Even the original Boss pedal used 2 separate boards, so I don't feel too badly about it.
Anyway... it took a while to fiddle with the layouts to get something I like, then document my parts placement, remove all the parts and start re-populating and #soldering them into place. But I got that done this evening.
I did a little meter #probing of the results to find any obvious missing connections or such, and fixed a couple. Then I plugged in my guitar, and ...
It #worked, perfectly, the first time. I believe that's the first time any of my effects have not required any #debugging at all. I'm #chuffed .
And it sounds *fantastic*.
The originally-called-for #transistors and #diodes are mostly #obsolete and hard to find. I dug through datasheets to find ones I thought would (a) be acceptable substitutes, and (b) I already had in my parts bins. Frankly, given the nature of the effect, I doubt the selections are too critical, but I'll include what I used for completeness, in case anyone else wants to make one of these.
