10A is a pretty big ask. You might want a few more pins to spread that current around. What are you other pins used for. DE-9 is where I would probably start.

how about jekyll? Lots of customization available.

Glad it worked. It looks like its for getting the big stuff while communityboost is designed to help find the small.

From the way I read it, you create a user for the tool so when you submit your instance, it can run on your instance. One of the users chosen at random is here https://discuss.tchncs.de/u/communityboost

You can read a discussion about it here https://pawb.social/post/4136386

I also came across https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

Edit: Looks like https://sh.itjust.works/u/iso might be the user behind it.

There is a tool I’ve heard about that subscribes to remote communities for federation until a real subscription. https://boost.lemy.lol/

So a hacky solution that uses lots of javascript to search your home instance and re-write the page. Got it.

I don’t know if I have any actual facial blindness, but I have a terrible time recognizing people. In tv shows, it takes me half a series to recognize the main characters by appearance alone. I think I recognize features of someone more than the person. I have terrible name recall to the point I don’t usually ask people their names because I know I’ll forget it almost immediately. I also almost never recognize people out of context.

I stopped getting older after graduating college.

I’ll start off with your questions are a outside of what I know well. In general to do stuff with electronics, you don’t need to know the physics behind it, but the equations that pop out. Mainly V=IR, Almost everything goes back to that. Behind the scenes are lots and lots and lots of differential equations. Alpha Pheonix has a few good visualizations for resistance. He has a water based demo to visualize voltage and resistance, and a maze demo showing how electricity “finds” the path of least resistance. ElectroBoom probably won’t teach you too much, but can show some interesting things you can do. EEVblog has some good lectures. For specific applications Digikey and Texas Instruments have some basics, and there are many lectures online available.

I think the questions you asked are a little more on the physics side than the electrical side, and the specifics I think of as a dark art that comes with experience. In general most capacitors you see are blocking DC on an AC circuit, coupling capacitors that are smoothing the power circuit, or capacitors to control/tune something specific. Those control values would be given in a datasheet. Resistors are often going to be current limiting, voltage dividing, or “pulling” a high impedance signal. To design something you often just need the rule of thumb, and not necessarily a deep understanding of “why”.

I guess my question to you would be what are your goals? Do you have a project in mind? Do you have a technology, Analog, RF, MCU, FPGA, embedded design? I tend to learn a new thing better when I have an end goal or project to work towards. Depending on where your starting from, a pi might be a good place to start too. You still have most of the I/O and busses of an Arduino, but you can program everything in python, and you have the resources of a full OS too.
