Yes, you take your chances - there's the occasional outright scam, or so-so quality parts (like the ones that inspired me to write this), but you go into it with your eyes open. You take a chance because it's dirt cheap.
And 90% of the time, the parts are just fine.
For anything important, or safety-related, or mains-connected, or anything I build for other than personal use, I won't use yum-cha parts like this. For those, I order good name-brand parts from a reputable supplier (Newark/Element14/RS, DigiKey, etc).
But for hobbyists just having fun, messing around? AliExpress and friends are an absolute godsend. You can now get into hobby electronics for practically nothing, and build stuff and see if you like it.
There's a place for quality parts, and a place for cheap parts. Knowing which is which isn't hard.
Three cheers for cheap components!

The best part? My cost for manufacturing the boards and shipping them to me in Canada (from China), with all applicable duty and taxes included, brings them out to about $1 per board.
I may try other designs at some point. But I can't see myself going back to the uber-expensive ones that are commercially available.
I can't wait to try one of them!

Soooo... it seems that the Very Robust Metal Looking #pedals on my #cargobike are in reality made of Very #Cheap Chinese Plastic. I wonder if the #frame also is made of plastic instead of #steel

I'm pissed but not surprised: the reason my "neighbors" were so encouraged me to sell my beloved pickup: made the signs, drove it up to the road WASN'T so I wld have enough money to move
It's because they fucking want my second carport parking spot #liars
They have 4 vehicles for the 2 of them and for 20 years have been too #cheap to build a carport
It wasn't an hour after I sold it that she TOLD ME they're moving into my carport
I can't wait to get out of this hell #FuckMaga

The end result: 177km/day, 8000+ calories per day (12% fat yogurt saved me on this trip), 18lbs lost, and a very odd #tan on my back and right side (south facing everyday for 30+ days). .

I think I found out why these proto boards were so cheap...
The row and column labels on the top side don't actually match the ones on the bottom side. Column "L" on the top is "N" on the bottom...

All that goes up must come down. A recurrent theme of crossing the Coastal, Kootenays, and Rocky mountains on a #bicycle.

If you have low water access or just generally consider yourself a crummy gardener, consider sedums. Especially native ones. You can literally propagate them by breaking off a small chunk of your original plant and sticking it in the ground. You can neglect them pretty extensively and they will just keep doing their thing. They mat out and squelch your weeds, giving anything else you plant a better chance as well.

Furtive #campsites can be found in little patches of bush. This one came handy midway of the second ascent of the day up Anarchy pass.
