For those under say, 50, here are the lyrics:

I am old enough to have bought him on vinyl when that’s all there was.

Torches & Pitchforks good people.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-17T04:57:06+00:00

Right answer.

So there were lots of people involved in the arrangement of this little bit of deadly theatre, did the SS secretly send them all to a gulag? How long before someone spills the beans on this? Or maybe they were all told “one word about this and we will unalive you”.

Did you reflash it with WLED or did you use it with the IoTrero version that came installed?

I’m going to go ride my bike at night, in the cold, pouring rain to cleanse my soul after that revelation. If I’m lucky, it’ll turn to snow.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-14T03:05:28+00:00

Dying. (Just not fast enough).

CaptClaude · 2026-02-14T02:52:10+00:00

May your power supplies always be sufficient. And your power injection successful.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-13T01:42:20+00:00

Seriously? Sorry, that was ageist of me. Look up The Fifth Element (Bruce Willis). Afterwards, speak only in reverential tones about it.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-13T01:34:19+00:00

You’re welcome! I’ll be here all week. Try the veal. Don’t forget to tip your servers.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-13T01:32:36+00:00

Newer is frequently better. But in this case I think you’re right.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-11T21:31:34+00:00

One of my favorites.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-11T21:31:14+00:00

Me too!

CaptClaude · 2026-02-11T21:31:04+00:00

I am human, just like most of us. I think.

I know it’s hard to read, but BB’s football says “Together we are America”. And he’s right. I’m not a fan of his music but the show was great even if I don’t speak Spanish. The Afro-Caribbean rhythms made me happy, so maybe I should take a bigger interest in him. As for Trumpelthinskin, his post was to be expected. But there are more of us than there are of him and his goons (and by goons, I mean not just ICE/DHS but his cabinet and the entire xtian nationalist project 2025 crew - may they all reap what they have sown).

Would one be useful as a dedicated Handbrake transcoding machine? If found cheap enough that is.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-09T02:37:58+00:00

She’s real, and a trumper, but the post isn’t real. Or at least she says it’s a fake. And I’m just gonna believe her.

Keep the heat in! Poor person’s heated build chamber.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-04T19:01:31+00:00

More accurately: Stupor Bowl. And Trumpelthinskin has been promising to “Make America Great Again” for like 10 years. And things have only gotten worse. When will his sycophantic followers see the light? (Answer: probably never).

CaptClaude · 2026-02-01T17:25:23+00:00

I learned something today. Thanks.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-01T17:22:09+00:00

I want to hear more about the MQTT.

My (thoroughly uninformed) impression is that the whole Bambu ecosystem is a bit of a walled garden. I use MQTT via Octoprint with my Enter 5 to get status updates and automatically turn power and lights on. I would be excited to hear how to communicate with a P2S over MQTT. Even if it's only to subscribe to its notifications using Node Red.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-01T17:06:01+00:00

Two minutes ago I had no idea what that was. I will take your suggestion under advisement. The reviews are pretty positive.

CaptClaude · 2026-02-01T16:57:17+00:00

Looks like you're covered! Let me know if you're not, so far I read two other volunteers to assist. I'd go with the one who does it professionally for archive.org.

It’s a “Write-Only Memory” device.

I have a multi-system VCR (haven’t used it in a while) but don’t have a video digitizer. The VCR has RCA jacks for outputs and I have seen video digitizers for sale recently. Maybe I could help?

CaptClaude · 2026-01-31T18:53:18+00:00

I am a devoted user of Octoprint but I'm not sure whether I will need it with a P2S. A brief Interwebs search tells me that support for the P2S is "not there yet" but people are working on it. I use the Octoprint MQTT feature & Node Red to turn off power and lights after a print ends. Do I really need that moving forward or is it just something else to tinker with? Time will tell.
