New blog post: nvim-µwiki

I blog about nvim-µwiki, a neovim plugin I wrote over a year ago but forgot about. #software #lua

@castaway found some old gcode, the printer actually warns that it is not using input shaping! let's see what happens

@castaway not certain. I’ve been suspicious of it ever since Input shaping was turned on in the slicer. I’m going to try and find the pre-input-shaping profiles; or dig out so really old gcode if I still have some. Thanks

This "curling" looks wrong to me. What could be causing it? This was recorded post filament load (during the "purge and check colour" phase)

disassembled extruder, cleaned out detritus, cleaned gears, re-assembled, printer still broken. GAH #3dprinting

OK. Plan for 3d printer is to look at the extruder now, start with cleaning the gears.

Happy Mon^W Tuesday, Tuesday!

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

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 scammy 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 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?

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

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
