My next line of enquiry is to see if I can find an older printer profile, from before they enabled input shaping #3dprinting

Nope :( #3dprinting

Is YouTube’s “clip” feature entirely non-functional for anyone else?

Artemis is currently cruising at ~3535 km per h - which is the fastest humans have ever gone outside of a gravity well.

It is 0.0003273% of c - so, the astronauts watches will be ticking slow due to relativity at only 99.99999999946432% of normal, which is roughly 1.689 milliseconds in 10 years (if they were to hold current speed).

Provided I've done the sums right, which I think I have.

I finally settled on some new ice skates and placed an order. Now I’m impatient for them to arrive! And I’m not sure they’ll fit, it might take a few iterations

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

Have you ever...

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

Home is fun. I like making fun things like minis, and useful things, like a spice rack organizer.

I like how they fit into story telling.

But until/unless one can recycle and more importantly, produce filament, it's still a centralized technology based on plastic.

I've only worked with basic PLA, and read a bit about PETG & the differences.

Are there any filament technologies that are recyclable / reusable or that can be produced locally from raw materials?

@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”
