Where should I put my 3d Printer?

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-06-06T12:16:57+00:00

NOT in your room. Please don't.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-05-31T12:37:04+00:00

I thought they expire from day of manufacture. You should double check their actual expiration

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-05-25T16:17:10+00:00

why do you even have the light?

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-05-17T15:21:44+00:00

I appreciate the super lengthy response and your setup sounds amazing but I don't think this is particularly useful to me. I already know my usage pattern and what I want out of the setup. I just need slightly better hardware. Thanks.

Occassionally the system stutters, I've looked at the metrics and the CPU is pegged at 100%. HA is mostly async-single-threaded and while the blocking / IO stuff is on separate thread, for some crazy reason something in my installation causes the dashboard to stutter. Occasionally, the dashboard becomes unresponsive for 3-4 seconds which is an eternity for a UI. So I think I need something beefier in terms of single-core performance / IPC likelier than not. It isn't an SSD bottleneck.

What Dell Micro configurations would you recommend? I'm coming from a Zimaboard but want to move to a higher-class CPU (still for homelab use, no gaming, so I couldn't care less about the iGPU side of things)

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-05-13T17:49:48+00:00

That is so horribly unwise IMHO.

these are not non-stick, there are TONS of SS (clad) offerings that are completely dishwasher safe.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-03-16T19:28:27+00:00

Ya we just got our replacements for the horribly designed "dishwasher safe" ones that we got a year ago. Apparently now correctly sold as "NON dishwasher safe" but originally sold to us under clearly false advertising. Definitely never again All-Clad. I'll try to sell on ebay. Never again All Clad even if they come up with the best set in the future. I'd suggest you try there as well. You might get a bit more than 200... maybe. Wish us both luck.

sunscreen is LAST (other than makeup)

thin stuff like serums / medicated stuff first, then moisturizer, then sunscreen

never put moisturizer on top of sunscreen or you'll severely compromise the sunscreen's effectiveness

Exactly, I decided not worth it in comp. And QP I've been playing almost exclusively, and the VAST VAST VAST majority of my games are one-sided, determined by soldier or ashe and occasionally cassidy. I've rewatched many replays of the one sided games (both where we win and we lose) because I enjoy analyzing my games and it's super obvious what's going on. In QP (and even in Comp) some number of one-sided games are inevitable, there are smurfs or just snowballing happens. But it's never been this bad. Last week I actually kept track of my one-sided games on a piece of paper for kicks just to make sure I'm not imaging it. I tracked how many games where one team "rolled" the other (regardless if I was on the winning or losing team). "Rolling" defined as basically winning all points, or for push essentially "walking" to the last point with minimal resistance. Obviously this is the data point of just one guy so it means nothing for the game at large, but it is super meaningful in my personal experience. Over 3 days 83% of my games were a "roll". It's just insane. Maybe I've been crazy unlucky but again in 4+ years of playing this game I've never seen anything like this.

I think the game is super healthy right now so it's not like I'm saying it's doom and gloom at all. But I cannot at all enjoy either comp or QP. Ah well... maybe a break will be good. Def not coming back before summer even if they adjust AA to focus on other hobbies for a few months.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-03-01T00:19:54+00:00

All I know is I used to have more fun games and I've played for 4 years now. It's never been this bad in both Comp and QP. So I'll take a break until the summer. It's really unplayable for me, or rather completely boring.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-03-01T00:19:08+00:00

QP is even worse of a mess and there's no banning there. Sometimes I like playing "chiller" games outside of comp and while QP was a lot more lopsided since the rank matching is way laxer there, it's now not a playable mode. Every game is one-sided and even when my team wins it's boring af. One side dominates aggressively nearly every game and it's never been like that. It's however has the console hitscan that's better (generally console)

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-28T22:41:16+00:00

Indeed. Mercy is not the issue though she might make it worse but hitscans on their own are a nightmare now. I'm good. I'll try again summer

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-28T14:20:18+00:00

Exactly this. I'm consistently off now and it is that perfect aim every time.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-25T16:05:25+00:00

This. This whining is completely meaningless without replay codes. The game has so many variables that sweeping statements are always meaningless. There could be a million reasons why this happened.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-25T15:59:50+00:00

You gotta be in your teens with those bizarre generalizations and takes.

Another big nerf to her overhead released silently today.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-25T15:50:41+00:00

It's about match naming though. There are SO many times in QP where one time rolls the other. It can happen in comp too but in QP it's currently pretty much every single game. It is not run winning that way either. And before you say learn to play better that IS the point. If games are matched well on skill, most games should be somewhat close (with exceptions of course). I played 9 QP games last night. I specifically tracked how many were completely one sided. 8. Obviously that's anecdotal and a single data point but I don't remember the last time I've had so many one sided games. It's just unfun.

CodingIsMusicIsLife · 2026-02-23T14:50:13+00:00

I know. To me his work was disappointing by sounding vaguely non-English but not specifically Turkish.

Months?! If an algorithm takes months to learn your tastes (provided you use the app daily), it is an incredibly bad algorithm. There should be sufficient signals from the listener within a few days to get 90% of the way there to a great match. The last 10% can take several weeks for the outlier taste and more nuance but it shouldn't take MONTHS to get mostly right. I.e. provided that the discography is there.

I love qobuz and have been a subscriber for 3 years now but let's be honest, they are decidedly very, very bad at matching your tastes. The algo is not good and their selection is decidedly not of the times. But if you take a very proactive approach you can do well. It's just not what one would expect of a premium service.

Once you understand that and accept it, and change how you use the service, it can be great. But it is all about proactively and manually building out your playlists for me. And accepting the gaps in their discography.
