@cybervegan I've always known this as deadbug prototyping. I don't know about #solderpunk but it sounds interesting. That wire isn't cat5 (I don't think), it's some other wire I garbage picked that's actually a little higher gauge than what you'd get from a cat5 cable, but you can't really see that in the pic. The wire connecting the diodes is 14 AWG Romex, mostly just to give it some structure - there's going to be no more than half an amp going through it normally.
Those diodes are actually just a single device, they're just packaged in the TO-243 case. The middle lead comes cut off and jumpered. However, using one (or using two diodes in the one package as a single diode) might not be a bad idea for heat dissipation, although in this case the current is low.

It's okay to "solder on", as long as you do it with a #punk heart ❤️
#Solderpunk should be proud of what he inspired and guided into what we have today in #Gemini, BTW.
