Do you have minimum layer times set? Seems like the filament doesn't have enough time to cool. Try setting a minimum layer time of 15 or 20 seconds with your part cooling fan at 100%

When you post, the Lemmy app secretly takes a photo of your face. This is then sent to a 3rd party AI application that looks at your facial features and ranks you on how hot you are. This is then sent back to the Lemmy server. This hotness score is then weighted by the users location that is viewing the feed (ie, an LA 7 might be a 9 in Chicago, or a 10 in alamaba if they are genetically related to you)

Doesn't help for this (or the next) oil change... But look into a fujimoto drain plug. Its a mini ball valve that is spring loaded (so you have to press the leaver up before you can turn it... Also has a 2nd safety in the form of a plastic clip that prevents it from being pressed up). Makes oil changes so easy. For your bike, it might still be too recessed, but the valve has a hose barb on it too so you can direct the oil into the drain pan

Yeah, I also used to like AvE's tool teardowns, I felt he did a good job explaining the little things you wouldn't think about, where companies cut costs, and if those cost/perf tradeoffs were done in a smart way or if it would bite you.

Enter covid, and he's ranting about US politics and trucker convoys. Unsubscribed and haven't watched him since, tbh the channel was going downhill before then, but that was the straw that broke the camels back.

Sad to hear he kept up with the bad views, but not surprising.

I bought counterstrike source way back in like 2008/2009 when I got a computer fast enough to play it. Steam was pushing garrysmod as a 5 dollar bundle purchase with counterstrike, and I bought that too on a whim.

I liked garrysmod more than cs:s, and played it a bunch. Eventually I figured out how to add wiremod to the game, which also involved using svn (a source control precursor to git)

I learned basic digital circuits and boolean logic by making bases with elevators and fancy alarm systems that would shoot intruders with turrents and stuff.

Eventually wiremod added a programming language called expression2, which was a mashup of c and lua. I basically taught myself coding because of a video game.

This lead me to get into computer programming, and eventually computer security, which ended up being a lucrative career path.... So thanks Garry for your mod, and thanks Gabe for pushing said mod to kids that just wanted to shoot virtual terrorists. That 5 dollar game is responsible for a good chunk of my life :)

Rhasspy. Idk if rhasspy3 is out fully, but I would wait for that and then set it up. (I have began to see the home assistant side being released - its supposed to tie in a lot better than rhasspy2, and even brought the dev on to the HA project)

Yep, to add on as well as summarized this... Linux has historically had a design methodology of "everything is a file". If your not familear with the implications of this, it means your command line tools just kind of work with most things, and everything is easy to find.

For instance, there's no "registry / regedit" on Linux... There's just a folder with a config file that the application stores settings in. There's no control panel application to modify your network settings... Just a text file on your OS. Your system logs and startup tasks were also (you guessed it) sinole filea on the system. Sure there might be GUI apps to make these things easier for users, but under the hood it reads and writes a file.

This idea goes further than you might assume. Your hard drive is a file on the file system (a special file called a block device). You can do something like "mount /dev/sda1 /home/myuser/some_folder" to "attach" the drive to a folder on the system, but that special block device (dev/sda1 in this case) can be read and written to byte by byte if you want with low level tools like dd.

Even an audio card output can show as a file in dev (this is less the case now with pipewire and pulse), but you used to be able to just echo a raw audio file (like a wav file) and redirect the output to your audio device "file" and it would play out your speaker.

Systemd flipped this all around, and now instead of just changing files, you have to use applications to specify changes to your system. Want to stop something from starting? Well, it used to be that you just move it out of the init directory, but now you have to know to "systemctl disable something.service", or to view logs " journalctl -idk something.service" I dont even remember the flags for specifying a service, so I have to look it up, where it used to just be looking at a file (and maybe use grep to search for something specific)

iFixIt has some pretty comprehensive sets... I probably use 5-10% of the bits... But thats also kind of the point, right? You go for them when you run into a "what the fuck is this shit" kind of fastener, and then you probably won't use it again for another few years.

I would recommend getting some longer torx bits that can go in a drill / impact gun, since those are the more common "odd" fasteners you run into, and the short ones for screwdrivers dont give you a lot to work with if you chuck them in a drill

Yep, as others have said, valetudo. I have a z10 pro and love it. I highly recommend one with an auto empty dust bin... Having to clean it after every run defeats the purpose of an automated vac. if you forget to empty it, it will be very ineffective the next run.

Also, I would say make sure you can assign a room for it to clean. If you have cats, automating it to clean the litter box room after they go is soooo nice

Take out any spinning rust and pack those in a foam HDD case. Number them as you pull them for easy reinstall.

Put a bit of plywood under the rack, ratchet strap it, and now you can put it on a dolly without the lip hitting the equipment as you try and lift it. For avoiding it falling off the dolly, use a 2nd ratchet strap and wrap it around the chassis / dolly.

Put a 2nd piece of plywood on top once its in the uhaul so you can load more boxes on top... Maybe even do that at first so the initial strap is securing it as well.

As for the bottom plywood, if you add some felt pads, then it will help you shimmy the chassis into / out of its position once its unloaded. I have my rack vhb taped to ply with felt under it and recommend it to people IRL a fair bit.

From a topology perspective, a cup does not have a hole. A mug does, but its the hole that the handle makes, not the area containing liquid.

Highly recommend a soda stream, or soda stream alternative. My go to is 4 or 5 drops of lime juice in a glass, then the carbonated water. Tastes identical to the canned stuff, but way cheaper (and maybe less preservatives? Idk if the canned water has anything besides fruit juice and water)

I also occasionally like root beer if I'm eating something junky like a pizza slice or burger. I bought a bag in a box of syrup from the small root beer brand I enjoy, and can make my own for a few cents instead of a few bucks per bottle. Plus, I can control the concentration depending on how sweet my sweet tooth is feeling that day

I like to create things. For me, its a nice feedback loop of positive feeling throughout the process.

I get to learn new skills in order to complete the thing I'm trying to make. At the end of the day, I get to feel good that I learned something new.

I get to work with my hands and throughout the process, I get to see the progress I have made. At the end of the week, I get to hold the thing as its coming along and feel good about the progress I'm making.

At the end of the month / few months when I'm done with the build, I get to feel accomplished as I have overcome the challenges along the way, and I have a finished "thing"

For the foreseeable time after, each time I use the thing I made, I get a little boost of positivity, because I get to think to myself "yeah! I made this!"

It also allows me to be social by sharing the thing I have made with other makers online, or I can help them with their projects by sharing knowledge I have accumulated.

A prion is just a misfolded protine that has some adverse behavior that your body can't detect (there's a mechanism that if your body identifies a malformed protine, it will terminate the cell making it). Anyway, prions live in this small region in a Venn diagram whereits can't be detected, but can still replicate and cause harm.

We mostly think of prion diseases (like mad cow) affecting the brain, but I dont think prions are isolated to the brain... Prion deseases happen to involve the brain a lot because a misbehaving protine in your brain will have a lot more apparent effects

I wanted to make a human sized wheel to bring to opensauce that dispenses candy thats the equivalent to the calories you burned, or possibly had motors acting as a generator that powered up a power bank for people to charge their phones from!

Thanks for the feedback though, and glad you liked it :)

Old PC that can be on all the time.

If you dont have one and want dedicated hardware, I would recommend a used server, or something you can whitebox (like using as asrock rack mobo that takes a desktop ryzen but supports ecc memory)

Put proxmox on as the host OS, two ssd's in raid 1 is good for a boot drive / VM storage drive. Raid 10 if you want real high performance, but probably unneeded.

Look for a case that has a SAS backplane, and then connect the backplane to a HBA card. Pass this card through to freenas for storage shares and stuff.

I recommend not virtualizing your router. So, if you want togoet away from Soho gear, either flash a Soho router with openWRT, or build a separate box for pfsense or opnsense. If you go that route, you will need a separate switch / access point. Unifi gear has a good balance of features and affordability, and can all be managed from a single ui (let's say you have 3 switches and 2 access points... You dont need to go to 5 web UI's, its all in one spot - and you can self host the web ui in proxmox)
