Yeah part of the reason I’m asking here is to get a better sense of pros/cons of messing with it. I’d ideally reseal it if I got it working

Hey there, I got an e-bike a while back, and suddenly the battery stopped charging. I thought it was the charger, waited for a replacement charger and then that didn’t fix it. I have a bit of background with electronics so I took the cap off the battery and poked around with a multimeter. I think the issue is the connections of the charging cable, anyone know what this white goo on top of the wires is and how I could remove it?

The battery was under warranty so I’m getting a replacement but I’d hate to throw a mostly good battery in the trash

Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not? in c/[email protected]

And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”

Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics? in c/[email protected]

I love ground news. But they just give you information on the bias of their sources, they aren’t unbiased themselves. You get a better picture but you are still getting it from biased sources

They focus on America, as such have a broadly Western bias. Are they less biased than others? Probably. But you cannot report the news without some form of bias. The act of looking at an event and deciding what facts to include and what to leave out introduces some level of bias. As it is impossible to include every detail of an event, especially in text form, you’ll end up with a biased retelling

If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around? in c/[email protected]

I would’ve gone with a less powerful nas and got a separate unit for compute. I got a synology nas with a decent amount of compute so I could run all my stuff on the nas, and the proprietary locked down OS drives me a bit nuts. Causes all sorts of issues. If I had a separate compute box I could just be running some flavor of Linux, probably Ubuntu and have things behave much more nicely

Anybody using Terraform CDK? in c/devops

That probably makes more sense in hindsight. I tried to convert a project and it was still kinda messy. Starting from scratch would be a decent idea

I feel like it could be nice to follow mastodon users from lemmy and have their toots mixed in with other posts

Damn. I guess we’re not far off from clients being able to post to both fairly easily. Cool to see

Was this posted from mastodon? Your post looks weird

Oh yeah definitely. The media loves to paint China as some massive villain and the American tech companies as our saviours, while they’re both doing similar evil shit

The Pure Python web framework survey in c/python

Ah ok yeah that makes more sense. I guess it’s a survey, but like in the sense of mapping an area, not polling people

I use terraform fairly extensively in my role, and saw terraform cdk seems to be a nice extension to terraform. Unfortunately it’s convert feature hasn’t seemed to work for me and I’m hesitant to rewrite everything by hand.

Has anyone been using cdktf and enjoying it enough that could convince me to do that rewrite?

People in America love to complain about TikTok is harvesting all sorts of data. My response is yeah that’s awful, let’s stop all the data harvesting, and they’re like no just TikTok, the CCP is the ultimate evil
