Sure, Linus and Richard get praised for making GNU Linux. But when I tried to make by own, the zoo kicked me out of the water buffalo enclosure.

The Prusa One and Bamboo X1 are very equivalent printers: both are high print quality, low intervention crazy fast, and more beginner friendly than anything that has come before. The Bamboo will (currently) do better with multicolor (with an addon unit) and Prusa is more trusted (there’s a threat that Bamboo will go closed-ecosystem).

I’d recommend watching some of the reviews from bigger names in the 3D printing world. I don’t remember who specifically has done reviews and comparisons of the two, but safe bets are Thomas Sanladerer / Made With Layers, CNC Kitchen, and 3D Printing Nerd.

The first language I was fluent in was Perl so PCRE is second nature to me. But then everyone decided they wanted their own regex dialects. And now there’s a PCRE2? Why 2? Stay with 1, you’re good together. What about the kids?

Oh. That’s why China was fighting so hard to buy the Tanbreez site during the last administration and why the US had to exert soft power on 4 different countries to buy it out from under them.

Prisoners and people in RFKs health re-education camps. Just like Russia.

Tungston and indium (at least) from those mentioned in the article. Plus graphite, rare earths, and nickle.

You know who has a lot of these minerals? Greenland.

There’s an OS that doesn’t require command line use to do anything slightly advanced? That hasn’t been my experience.

Wouldn’t the one that ops you into telemetry be the trap?

btop could be pretty controller friendly

I’m guessing a version with the Enterprise J doesn’t fit on the print bed.

That is very cool. The color work is fantastic.

Someone should invade Rubio’s house and demand the deed to one of his rooms before they’ll leave.

I’m terrible about taking photos of things, it just doesn’t occur to me until I need one.

This is the view from one of my printer webcams of a 2 day print that just finished about 20 minutes ago; its covered in supports because the walls are modeled like stone. A friend of mine of running Vecna: Eve of Ruin and asked me to print him a Death House (in about 16 parts - 11 beds full). In total this is going to be about 20 days of printing because I’m doing it at 0.1mm layer height - I’m not quite halfway through. This is the model and here is a reddit thread showing it painted.

Since that one is not much to look at, here’s a pic with a squirrel, from a recent blog post about how my 3D printed Bird/Squirrel feeder has withstood 15 months of weather and abuse.

Makes sense to move our nukes out of Germany, since Trump doesn’t want them pointed at Russia any more.

It’s a very efficient device for delivering large amounts of methane straight to the upper atmosphere, where it’ll do the most damage.

While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.

This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Good call. That’s plan b now.

Thanks!

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.
