Prusa Mini+ re-assembled with a new heatblock (and nozzle); first layer calibration looks ok, mostly; Prusa Connect agrees on the nozzle size; all that remains is a test print and hopefully we’re back in business #3dprinting

aha, you have to set it on the printer itself.

Is there any way to tell Prusa Connect that your printer nozzle size has changed?#3dprinting

Can you air fry ice skates?

@fraggle procmail is another scary one

I’m obviously being facetious but the kernel of truth is that software quality can often have little to do with the “feel” of using it

If you like a piece of software, don’t look at the source. Never ask how the sausage is made. This seems to doubly apply to C programs

Fixed two bugs in a C program. First time I’ve written C in ages

@mjr this happened in March, https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/02/libreoffice_online_deatticized/, which seems to have been a precursor to https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/tdf-ejects-its-core-developers/. Also the EU just blessed a fork of an entirely different suite, I think

trying to catch up on the latest open source office news but I don't have anywhere NEAR enough popcorn

@metacosm I’ve been looking at the Microfreak but yeah same

@metacosm yep! Don’t use it as much as I’d like to. Korg minilogue xd

@metacosm i’m not yet making having use of my extra key, but I’ve got it mapped to “paste”

@metacosm sort of yeah. Mostly UK layout, but I switched the backspace key so I could put two keys there instead.

My new BS key is getting a lot of use

Just spent ~30 mins evaluating some software that I am convinced nobody else has ever actually run, it had such immediately egregious bugs

Should I toot about ice-skating more? Is there an ice-skating Mastodon subculture?

That page is rendered totally broken for me on mobile, which may or may not be related

@elmiko exactly! Hehe
