this is me but not just for shampoo, for everything

the shower is the alternate dimension where I realize I'm low on shampoo but as soon as I step through the curtain I'm transported back to this dimension where all my memories are wiped like in severance and I won’t remember i’m out of shampoo until im back in the shower

Happy ninth Mastodon Won't Survive Day to all who celebrate!

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.

Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.

I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being .

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in . If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commercial , , /#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.

Meanwhile trying different profiles. Wtf is this?
My 3d castle mid print, unintentionally looking Gaudi

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?
