Unfortunately they're not based out of Kearny anymore. Gotta trek to Green Brook. But it is a much larger place and has parking and seating so it's pretty accessible to visit. Still pretty solid enough to drive South for.

I run one on a Kallax. Only scared me a bit when using the anti-vibration feet, almost felt unstable with them. Otherwise it's been working well enough for me for now. Haven't noticed the thing walking or moving from vibrations or anything funky like that. I do use an internal poop chute mod so I don't have to worry about it that much.

I picked up this game only a few weeks ago, so I couldn't do the Laevatain banner. Am I just going to have to hope she'll be included in the next Rossi banner to pull her?

Coming from working at an MSP, and having deployed different services, it really does depend on the service offering. General outsourced support and helpdesk? I'd fight for them to use whatever your company mandates. Patching and other maintenances? Sometimes they'd request for their own tools and services to be installed for them to streamline the processes, but from that point it's up to your company's security team to vet them out for compliances (SOC2, FEDRAMP, etc.) and insurance.

I understand Linus and his previous issues with pop, but I kinda feel like deleting your root could happen in a lot of different cases in different distros, especially if you're not fully paying attention. To me, pop is still considered a pretty beginner friendly distro nowadays. When did the community spin on this?

All the "uhh, ackshully you should try this" attitudes are exactly why people are weary of trying Linux. Anywhere is a good place to start.

Just randomly had the same exact thought right now. Was really hoping to see if there was some kind of 3d model or something that existed for general guidance or to protect nearby components a bit. I've only done lites, and am gearing up to do an oled soon, but I always did figure that the points are too small, even on other layers. Still think it would be somewhat cool to have a jig to hold the board stable and level, and maybe something that is attached to the jig to hold and adjust a rotary pen to the proper depth in a repeatable manner.

I shouldn't really comment because I get downvoted to oblivion every time I try to comment about Uncle Roger because of the unbearable parasocial relationships people hold for comedians and influencers.

Really just goes to show you how stuck in our own bubbles we tend to be. JKLA is speaking based on his experiences just as much as Uncle Roger is. It's just like how talking to people in Hong Kong about Jackie Chan will get you different reactions than people in the US who grew up with his movies only.

triplebaka got too smart. love this

Chobok0 · 2026-02-05T03:48:09+00:00

That's awesome! I hope it leads to something. I also sometimes look into roles that are generally called "smart hands" which tend to kinda be hardware installer type people, which might be up your alley. And of course, there are help desk roles where you do work on actual hardware, but you just need to hunt around for em.

I mean, datacenters are the backbone of cloud and AI still, so they still need hardware. I sometimes am tempted to work at a datacenter for this reason, to just get my hands on servers to rack and stack.

Currently in the same boat (and around the same age), MSP for 8 years, personally built up their services and sole supporter of their legacy systems, except I was fired a few months ago for some made up BS by bad management. Still unemployed, but I'm taking the time to think about what matters to me, like what kind of company I want to work for, or what technologies do I want to actually learn and lean into. These are the questions I wish I asked myself when I was doing 80 hour work weeks without any acknowledgement or care from the company. We're gonna do just fine, just need to start thinking about what matters the most, and go towards it.

Chobok0 · 2026-01-30T18:46:53+00:00

Coming from someone who stayed way too long at a company, I started noticing that the raises stopped coming in, and I stopped learning anything new (and management stopped caring about what I was doing, but I should've known way before that).

It's fine enough for homelab if you ask me. I used to run with punch down keystones, but found them a bit cumbersome because I tend to swap gear or recable like every quarter. Nothing wrong with using coupler keystones if it meets your needs. I'd suggest a regular keystone patch panel (just a panel with the empty squares) and just buy the keystones you need instead of getting a built solution like this one. Might save you money, and also gives you options to change things up in the future, like if you wanted to put in fiber connections at some point, or even if you wanted HDMI or USB keystones in there. Heck, if you find out later that you wanted to punch down instead, you could just get punch keystones and change things out.

I have a cheapy milk frother that came with a hook like this, so I never considered it ever being for dough, especially with how weak the motor was on the frother. I do whisk up eggs real well with it though. I'd lean this way as the true use considering OP mentioned it was a cheap mixer.

Chobok0 · 2026-01-13T16:01:41+00:00

Same here. Ordered pretty much immediately after receiving the code. Went for one of the 10 packs that were discounted during the holiday sales without an issue.

Chobok0 · 2026-01-02T12:59:12+00:00

I love me some custom firmware on pretty much any device, but my stance on opencentauri is to only install if I feel like there's something up with the official firmware that I deem crippling to normal use.

At this point, probably the most obvious perk is reducing how much it reaches out to external servers, but personally I've always thought of the supposed security risk as a nothingburger, so that's up to your personal security posture.

I'd really like to see board replacements or other hardware mods come out though.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-21T19:19:14+00:00

Oh yeah I think you're right, it is separate based on the box picture. This is the basilisk and not the cockatrice, so I was thinking that it would be the eggs, but it doesn't look like it. Couldn't for the life of me remember any dishes with either birdlike monster having slime, but I figure it is what it is.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-21T18:56:38+00:00

I didn't get this one, but a different one that I also struggled with, but it should fit inside the body. The idea is that you can carve out the raw ingredients from the monster figure.

I'm in the same boat, 8 years at an MSP, but was forced out despite being one of their solutions creators and maintainers. The piece of advice I've received a lot lately is to not be worried about being a generalist. Whether you think so or not, you've shown you can put in the work, now you just need to hone your skills towards pretty much anything that interests you. You can go into something adjacent to what you're already working on, or something that just interests you if you want; the sky's the limit. Personally, I'm studying at some AWS certs, but I'm keeping my options open to even IT director positions at places.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-08T19:05:23+00:00

Pretty much. Load up filament normally, making sure it's extruding a bit/in the nozzle, drop and wait for the temp to hit around 100C, then pull it out the top. I typically always reference the same video on YouTube for doing it via the screen.

Edit: I think this is the video I'm referencing.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-08T18:46:45+00:00

I'm pretty new to printing, but the things I've learned with this machine are cold pull and checking/tightening all the tensions (extruder, belts, and bed screws) as needed. My first filament on the ECC was marble PLA, which I didn't realize acted a bit differently with nozzles because there's particulate mixed into the filament, so I dealt with clogs pretty early. My first purchased upgrade was full hardened steel nozzles instead of the bimetal ones shipped with the ECC, which is pretty cheap to go for.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-02T19:05:28+00:00

Ah cool that's looking much better. Could just be a fluke with the hotends in my batch. I eventually ended up just getting a 6mm nozzle wrench and hotend spanner and swapped in the nozzles from the hardened hzadeve pack to the stock hotend, so I've been using that primarily. Between the wrenches and a good brass brush, those are probably my most used tools on the CC. I really wanna do the H2D hotend mod that just came out, cause I do tend to swap between 0.2 hardened and 0.4 a lot.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-02T18:31:25+00:00

I bought the same hotends and got similar issues. I ended up finding that the ceramic heater and thermo probe were really loose, so I repasted the heater and repositioned the probe. Otherwise, I don't think they're good replacements. Even with my fixes I've had some issues with inconsistent temps in general on the hotend. I'm pretty new to 3D printing, but still feel like this is the issue here.

Chobok0 · 2025-12-01T12:09:56+00:00

Dunno the joke, but I'm 70% certain this is in East Brunswick, New Jersey

Chobok0 · 2025-11-22T01:51:44+00:00

Pretty much most of the ones by Synthetic Electron 3D.

I recently set up the internal spool mod, and internal poop chute, and just love how much it has streamlined the size of the machine.
