I saw the iFixit DIY soldering fume extractor and realized I had the parts already sitting around. Just needed to 3d print a cover for the filter. Unfortunately, this rewards my old tech hoarding behavior. www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to...

Bluesky detected that my profile photo was a transparent png with black outlines and added a white circular background automatically. As a web dev, I'm actually super impressed by this, not because it's any sort of technical challenge, but someone thought to do it (and didn't screw it up!)
