#Xitter just gave me a unskippable ad for Xit Premium and I had to close the tab and reload the page -- Jeah, I don't think 90€ per year is your worth. And I already am ad free, so good luck.

When in doubt if the SSD still has data: Use punch.

Since Hermansson on youtube always shows off with the dynamic range of his #guitaramplifier: Have a clip of my Ceriatone Molecular doing the clean to high gain thing with the volume control of my #electricguitar.

Current holiday plan: activate couch potato mode and watch streams or recordings. #X (or #Xitter) refugees and users, this should interest you. events.ccc.de/congress/202...

My new years goal is to further #boycott any US products in the oncoming year. I was decently successful in 2025, and rather spend a month soldering than buying a US made guitar amplifier. Xitter gets adblocked, and we currently transition all supplies to non US at work, if so possible.

Too tired to do stuff. Too awake to sleep. And so the cycle of bad sleep continues.

Welding anything round turned out a lot more difficult than I thought. Well, at some point the weld was more metal than pores, which I will call a success for the first try at round stuff.

The synthetic leather used for my headphones disintegrated. It peeled like a bad sunburn, and probably added the same amount of cancer. I tried cleaning all the other parts, as the replacement will be as bad. Could we please use thick linen cloth instead or something...

Designed a foot to keep something von tipping over and ended up with a mustache.

The high gain channel of a #Ceriatone Molecular can be used as clean channel. Or chugs. José Arredondos circuit design is fantastic, and the Friedman tribute amplifier was a to expensive for me, so I went with the interpretation offered as a DIY kit. #Guitaramplifier.

I dug out the old 1000W halogen lamp to take some pictures, because colors just look better than under the light of my LED lights. One can spend money on some really nice LEDs or use sunlight, but the sun does not come out this time of the year and the investment in LEDs does not make sense for me.

I present: Wobble-T, because I wanted to try the concept of the wobble board @tanraak.bsky.social posted. A scrap piece of wood and some hand planing relieved some stress — The work itself was half the goal. Works with shoes with flat soles that I wear anyway.

I was surprised how quiet #Duisburg is this evening — I forgot that the #A3 is closed. Now you can distinctly hear the roar of the #A59.

Scrolled through pictures and miss my families cat. He loved napping on leaves under that bush. #cat

Some more details. I added fuses to the heaters, preamp has 12V heaters and the output transformer some varistors as protection. And browns are about the most annoying color to photograph.

Final adjustment of the effects loop volume of my Ceriatone Molecular Kit. That potentiometer ist buried

Chromexcel after one year, oiled and waxed. The brown becomes really deep and dark from the oil after one year and then looks like the advertisement.

To stressed to eat at work, made bacon with eggs to feel better.
