  • They’re similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use “filler” but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.

    Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn’t fuse the pieces together.

    There’s also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.

    But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P





  • Yes. I used to do that when I had no other option. In my early days I managed to get a worm spread by a susceptible sshd in… red hat 5ish… don’t remember exactly. But the point being: keeping things secure is hard work. And even then it might not be possible.

    These days I use tailscale and essentially never leave my internal network regardless of being directly connected to it or not.

    Set it up with your own DNS server and tailscale’s ability to forward specific domains to your DNS server and it all just works.
