**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 24 03:00:01 2018 Mar 24 10:59:10 DocScrutinizer51: Hey doc ^^ I broke my soldering station (fixpoint ap2, cheap thing). What would you recommend as a replacement? I guess I'd pay up to 150€ if it makes sense. maybe more if it really, really is worth it. Mar 24 10:59:22 DocScrutinizer51: everthing well otherwise? Mar 24 11:19:08 Shapeshifter: I'd get an Ersa every time. (well) new job, much stress, Neo900 stalled :-/ Mar 24 11:20:16 DocScrutinizer51 Hi, out of curiosity, may I ask you what's your present job? If you don't like to say it, just please don't answer. Mar 24 11:21:40 http://neo900.org/news/joerg-pia-2018-03-01 Mar 24 11:26:51 DocScrutinizer51 Thanks, I'm reading. Have a nice day. Mar 24 11:26:55 DocScrutinizer05: thanks for the tip. large minority of your working time, huh ;) Mar 24 11:28:01 yeah i asked too ... then again, i'm no native speaker Mar 24 11:29:57 neither am I, and that's a new by our communications officer sn0wmonster Mar 24 11:30:08 news* Mar 24 11:30:55 Kinda annoying though that I have 4 new tips for this el cheapo soldering station -.- Mar 24 11:31:14 maybe s/large/ minoritysubstantial fraction/ Mar 24 11:31:24 maybe s/large/ minority/substantial fraction/ Mar 24 11:31:52 dammit, you know what I meant Mar 24 11:32:01 good grief ersa replacement tips are pricy ^^ Mar 24 11:32:22 yeah, they are Mar 24 11:32:32 since they are quality tips Mar 24 11:32:47 never file them! Mar 24 11:33:18 I wouldn't dare ^^ Mar 24 11:34:21 https://www.reichelt.com/ch/de/ERSA-Loetstationen/RDS-80/3/index.html?ACTION=3&LA=2&ARTICLE=69172&GROUPID=553&artnr=RDS+80&trstct=pol_0 their entry level device fits in the budget. Should be good? Mar 24 11:38:28 What would you recommend to absorb fumes? I wonder if strapping a Noctual PPC fan to a self-made cage containing carbon pellets might be better than buying a cheap complete solution, which would consist of a cheap fan and a filter mat... Mar 24 11:38:44 And I have 5kg pellets lying around. Mar 24 11:39:01 I git that one, don't know, you decide Mar 24 11:39:05 https://www.reichelt.com/ch/de/ERSA-Loetstationen/RDS-80/3/index.html?ACTION=3;ARTICLE=4338;SEARCH=analog60 Mar 24 11:39:40 It's almost grotesque how expensive Noctua PPC fans are. 100 bucks. Mar 24 11:39:57 tbh I never had a "aircon" for soldering Mar 24 11:40:22 love that smell huh. Mar 24 11:40:47 depends on the number of solder points you got to make per day Mar 24 11:58:50 Shapeshifter: use a cheap vavuum cleaner, fill the bag with your active coal pellets Mar 24 19:32:24 does anyone use querymee in n900? And if yes, is it processor hungry? For me it seems to stay around 80% @ 600mhz Mar 24 20:33:38 nvm it seems to have passed and being normal now. Mar 24 23:27:06 er spambot hit the wiki hard, going to take a while to clean up. Mar 24 23:27:17 ouch Mar 24 23:27:54 btw kudos for keeping the wiki tidy all the time Mar 24 23:28:32 you got rollback permissions, do you? Mar 24 23:29:15 as opposed to undo which needs a few more clicks iirc Mar 24 23:31:56 sixwheeledbeast: ^^^ Mar 24 23:32:34 yep all good, been looking after it since migration really Mar 24 23:33:08 I know, mayn thnaks for that Mar 24 23:33:37 np, its a very useful resource to keep spam free IMO **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Mar 25 03:00:04 2018
