Yesterday I spent an hour researching proxying a PTY/serial console for a 3D printer. I found solutions (passing a proxied PTY into a container doesn't work; but tunneling it over TCP does) but eventually remembered the Prusa Mini has Ethernet, and (unlike when I bought it) now has its own web interface (PrusaLink). And it more than does the job! #3dprinting
@Inquisitive haha! A match made in heaven. I realised that the printers speak serial console, so loads of vintage stuff could theoretically drive them
@scattershot Which label has the best connotations for you in terms of motivation or identity? Another possible name would be "Laboratory".
@bruces bandcamp “fan subscriptions” sure get the number up. I subscribed to British artist Scanner for a number of years and accumulated hundreds. It’ll take me a long time to listen to them all https://scanner.bandcamp.com/fan-club
I learn that kindle had flash cards with an article about kindle removing flash cards. I wonder if there’s a good flash card app for kobo https://goodereader.com/blog/kindle/amazon-kindle-flashcards-is-being-discontinued
@neil @drandrewv2 is this the kind of thing? Not sure of the dimensions https://www.printables.com/model/162730-cord-toggle
@metin @PyDPainter very cool! It reminds me a bit of grafx2, which is very dpaint inspired http://grafx2.chez.com/. I loved dpaint 3 and 4 on my Amiga.
@fthevenet my entry in this pantheon was a branching spreadsheet where I charted MinMaxing the first "quest" in Frontier: First Encounters: different approaches, timings, etc. I seem to have misplaced it
@fraggle ! I didn’t realise that’s what was going on. I’ve had “why does this textbook have mismatched brackets” on my question list for ages
@fraggle in fact I’m aching for a project that would need me to 3d print a PDP case. something Raspberry pi? Modular synth?
