It's an unbelievably thin stranded wire, but the wires are coated so they can be in contact with each other without shorting. It's all twisted around a thin thread of cotton or nylon to add strength, then then encased in it's sheath.

The trick is to gently scrape the stranded wire with a blade for the solder to stick and to make a good connection.

We need a ripscript version for the web!

I'm on Debian bookworm, and a screenshot is one Meta-Shift-S -- I just highlight the region I want to capture, and I get a dialog prompting me to (with one click) copy to clipboard, save to file, or annotate. There's a handful of out-of-the-way options as well, depending on what exactly you want to do. What's --- so abominable about that?

Luanti(previously Minetest) does a similar trick: c++ core/game engine, but all the game logic is in lua.

It's in good fun, physically visiting them is way more fun than handing a SIP trunk to a short script + CSV file.

The nerd in me is just always curious about the backend :)
