Oh no, it seems the Germans have broken confinement!

Isn't it the first book in a series? I think I remember reading the whole series a while back

No idea why this is downvoted. Seems like a helpful suggestion

Thank you for pointing that out! I missed the context of the survival backpack and now it makes more sense. When you view this as more of a 'what if' for a somewhat (hopefully) fictional situation this becomes a fun challenge of creating PCBs from limited resources. I'm wondering how I might try to build a PCB under such circumstances now. I'm still not a fan of their 'urban mining' though. If anything I believe there would be better sources for silver in a disaster/post-apocalypse.

Idk, this one is weird to me. I agree that micro electronics production is not conflict free and appreciate a search for alternatives, but clay? From an engineering perspective this isn't just a bad material for PCBs, it's neigh impossible to use. How would that affect device longevity, or recyclability? Their production process is quite failure prone as they mention. Not to mention how their design is easily magnitudes larger than a comparable laminated fiber PCB. Also urban-mined is a needlessly opaque buzzword imo. They mean recycled, right? Just say so, no need for flourishes. Emphasizing that the clay is sourced from a wild forest and burned over a bonfire is meant to feel sustainable via association. There is nothing environmentally conscious about these inefficient methods and it makes this project appear amateurish. Nothing wrong with amateur attempts to help the problem, but somehow I get the feeling no one bothered to ask a PCB fab worker or repair technician along the way. More sustainable PCBs start with open source documentation and freely available replacement parts, not forest clay. Full disclosure, I read the description text on the site and (only) skimmed through the video. Feel free to correct me if I misrepresented anything.

A hero of science! We thank you!

Weird way to spell "Heimweh"

The secret agent easter egg quest line makes me wonder if i missed any other hidden features.

~~Idk, maybe the collapse of Yugoslavia? Perhaps the Ottoman rule and aftermath. Different religions tied to different cultures as a deviding factor seem to stand out to me~~

Edit: I can't read apparently, disregard my comment.

Graphene OS only works on Pixel Phones. They're really the gold standard. Pick one from the supported list on the graphene os website that suits your needs.

Croatia hiking load out (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Any Europeans here? Decathlon used to suck so badly in the past, but now admittedly most of my gear is from them. I'm not sure I get to call myself ultralight quite yet, but this is certainly the lightest I've ever gone. Missing in the picture is obviously any food, I'll bring ~1 kg along for 10 days in Croatia. The rest I'll buy whenever I'm in town. Also I'll probably add a small bottle later too. I've really enjoyed finding my very own balance of low-weight to reliability to comfort over the past years. Tell me if you think I'm missing anything or have questions. If anyone's interested in weight, an actual breakdown (or the contents of my toiletries and tech pouches) let me know!
