    $ journalctl -b -1

    Y solucionar todo lo que se vea raro.

    Allá vamos 😅

  3. RT by @LIFEprogramme: 📍 On June 24 & 25, the @lifefountainEU made its way to Milan for Fastener Fair Italy, the benchmark event for #fastener and #fixing #technology. It's great to share our results, placing LIFE FOUNTAIN's innovation at the very heart of the industrial debate! @LIFEprogramme #PFAS

  7. An evening well spent...

    I have new computer speakers :-)

    I got a broken cheap chinese valve amplifier, fixed and tuned it. They didn't use high quality parts and I replaces the capacitors and the output transformer. A pair of broken active Quadral speakers I freed from their terrible digital amps. The subwoofer is an 20 years old Yamaha sub I had lying around and knew I would use it some day.

    I don't know why people are satisfied with those infernal Bluetooth speakers where DSPs eat all the nuances when you can have this. One can literally find it in the trash and fix it for little money. Just check out you nearest recycling centre or flee market.

  11. #ToySwaps and the #CircularToyEconomy: How to Raise Waste-Free Kids

    Ash Gregg, July 24, 2025

    "Kids outgrow toys fast — sometimes faster than we can recycle the packaging. What starts as a sweet moment of play often ends up as clutter, then waste.

    Behind those bright colors and fun shapes lies a hidden environmental truth: the toy industry is one of the most wasteful in the world. Most toys are made of plastic. Few are designed to last. And almost none are built with end-of-life reuse in mind.

    But there’s a better way — and it doesn’t mean denying kids joy or imagination. In fact, it can inspire more of both.

    Welcome to the circular toy economy: a movement built on #sharing, #reusing, #fixing, and reimagining play. It’s not just good for the planet — it’s good for your home, your budget, and your children’s values."

  13. I like #fixing things and have since I was a kid. Friends and relatives give me #broken things, I mostly try to give them back #working things. It's fun, it can be a challenge, and sometimes you learn something new, which is exciting.

    I #volunteer at my local #Repair Cafe. It started up a year or so ago, and I joined it when I heard about it a few months later. Now I get to fix things in "real time", no advance planning, and an audience! Well, 90% of the time it's fine.

    Over the years I've heard numerous comments from people that "Oh, I'd like to be able to fix things" or "I don't know how to do that" or the more direct question "How do you learn to fix stuff?"

    There isn't a big "secret" to it. It's simple.

    1. Take something that's broken, and take it apart.
    2. Look at the bits and see if you can guess at why it isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing, or why it is doing something that it shouldn't.
    3. If you have an idea from (2), try fixing it. Maybe it's "lube this" or "un-jam that" or "that hidden fuse looks burnt".
    4. Put it back together. Even if you didn't find anything to try fixing it. You learn a lot from this.

    (You can repeat 2 and 3 multiple times if you want.)

    At the end of this, you either have a working thing, or a broken thing. If it's working, congratulations, you fixed your first thing!

    And if it's broken, well, it was already broken. Nothing lost. No need to feel ashamed or embarrassed or like you failed.

  15. Fixing our own problems in the Rust compiler

    In our data compression projects, we use Rust where C is traditionally used. During the work, we've hit limitations in Rust itself and in the surrounding tooling. Over the years, we've become increasingly comfortable with fixing these issues ourselves. […]

    А хто фіксував? Оцей фіксатор, що на фото, біля #Zelensky? Ну хоч фіксувати навчився. Може його офіційно призначити головним генералом-фіксатором, а командування українським військом передати комусь іншому, більш обізнаному, навченому, молодому і сучасному?

  18. "Creating a new idea is easier than _______ an old one." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Here's a thought to start your Monday: we often think that the hardest part of success is coming up with a "lightbulb moment." That crazy burst of inspiration. The moment of innovation brilliance.

    But let’s face it: sometimes, starting from scratch is the easy part. The real challenge? Dealing with what’s already taking up space in our heads and complicating our lives. The baggage in our minds is often very, very real and gets in the way of our ability to move forward.

    That's why it's tough to fix old problems, shed old legacies, and deal with old challenges.

    Not convinced? Fill in the blank for your current situation: "Creating a new idea is easier than _______ an old one."

    How about "Creating a new idea is easier than unlearning an old one." Or "Creating a new idea is easier than fixing an old one."

    Substitute at will! Depending on what you're facing this week, one of these might hit home:

    Unlearning: Our brains hate a rewrite. It’s often much harder to let go of an outdated belief than it is to learn something brand new.

    Fixing: Band-aid solutions eventually become a heavy burden. Sometimes, the energy it takes to repair a broken system is better spent building a new one.

    Replacing: We naturally cling to what’s familiar, even if it’s no longer helping us grow. Innovation is usually stalled by the friction of making the "switch."

    Killing: In the creative world, they call this "killing your darlings." Letting go of an idea you’ve loved for years takes a specific kind of courage.

    Reviving: Breathing life back into a stalled project is exhausting. Resuscitation is often more draining than a fresh birth.

    Renovating: Updating an old idea means working within tight constraints. It’s a much tighter squeeze than working on a blank canvas.

    Which one resonates?

    Are you in a season of creation, or are you doing the heavy lifting of transformation?

  20. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    We try to make virtues of the faults we do not wish to correct.
     
    [Nous essayons de nous faire honneur des défauts que nous ne voulons pas corriger.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶442 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]
