This is what "I told you so" for a decade+ gets you. I've been saying to product that
"we should do this."
"we're gonna have to eventually"
"If we ever have to ___ this architecture will implode"
"we have no process to handle ____"
and they never wanted to spend the resources. Well.. now we gotta.
And I have nine mo. to gap analysis and action plan.

I #volunteered at my local Repair Cafe again today. I had fun again, though still not much actual #electronics work - more small appliances and such, and a laptop.

But a lot of small #appliances are like any other consumer-electronics item these days. They're not designed for #serviceability [1] and the electronics in them are generally a weak point - everything's consolidated onto one circuit board, with most of the functionality on one microcontroller or custom chip (depending on the device type and its price). It makes the overall #production cost of the unit #cheaper, but failures tend to be an all-or-nothing affair. Some critical component leaks its #magic #smoke and the side-effect of that is to blow up something else on the board, and the board is not easily available as a spare part. I certainly won't have a spare one in my box of components, unlike whatever the failed #component was if it had been a separate, standardized part.

So there were a couple of "See, here's what blew up, I can't fix it, and a new one will be cheaper than trying to find a parted-out replacement for the failed board".

The lady with the laptop was thrilled with a fairly simple #reassembly of a display bezel that popped its clips when she wiped out on some ice. That felt good.

[1] Getting into them is usually the hardest part, the #newer it is, the #worse it gets. One-way clips that take ages to finangle into releasing. "YOLO engineering" - "no one will ever open this!"

Thanks for the great #volunteered work you do as our lead moderator.

I meant to mark this with fanfare, but I apparently missed the date.

One year ago, September 23, 2023, I got on a Discord Call with @nicdex to work out me coming on TechHub #staff as a #Moderator. There was another influx incoming, and I wanted to help Fedi in any way I could, so I #volunteered, and TechHub needed another experienced moderator.

Since then, I've learned a lot and done a lot, including helping resolve 1397 reports, 228 of which came from me, and expanded the role in a lot of ways I felt were important, including publishing a curated blocklist, found at...
https://techhub.social/@Raccoon/112906921685785476

As we move forward, I have more plans in mind for how to improve and expand the Fediverse, both in moderation and general experience. We'll see what gets done!

For now, thanks to all of you for being the #Fediverse, thanks to #Mastodon and all the other softwares, and thanks to the #ActivityPub team for laying the groundwork.

Let's keep building #Fedi!

Gen Z generally has the highest rate of volunteered responses.

The only exception was 2020, when Gen Z had the same rate of volunteered responses as Millennials.

So finally #BruceSpringsteen has inveigled his way onto my wife’s #Spotifyplaylists with his #cover of “Do I Love You (Yes I Do)”… but she’ll still not come with me to see him live! 😪 but then the youngest has #volunteered - which is only fair as I went to Warrington to see #MCR with her. 😉 the Swarm Tee is a fave already! If not the LP
