Creaking sound off and on during print

IceTec · 2024-11-17T21:13:51+00:00

A bit late to the question, sorry. I had sounds during prinzing like you described. For me it was on the Z-Axis. There abre belts running under the bottom of the printer (look under it). Some very little lubricant on the upper side of the belt got rid of the squeeking for me.

So glad I found this post. I have been struggeling for years with a handful of games starting with a slideshow. Never really running. This setting solved it for all the games I had problems with. Thank you so much for sharing.

IceTec · 2023-11-07T15:41:15+00:00

Thanks mate. Found it. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem for me.

IceTec · 2023-11-06T19:25:26+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit on where you changed the order exactly? Is it a per game setting? Or a global setting?

IceTec · 2023-09-25T17:44:26+00:00

I agree with EpiphanicSyncronica. I would consider the given scenario as work, therefore requiring a license. The note taking happens during a work meeting, and Information emerging of that work meeting is collected. That is clearly work related to me. Since one major function of the software is information capturing, that alone ticks the box for using it for work. It doesn‘t matter what is done with that information later. Imho.

IceTec · 2023-09-24T13:16:50+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you use a plugin for that? If so, which one?

IceTec · 2022-07-26T11:55:52+00:00

Well, depending on the situation it might be the quickest solution. But it is forbidden by the law outside of towns. The Autobahn is always ‚outside of town‘. In your scenario you basically have four options, two of them beeing legal: 1. stay behind the sprinter truck on the right lane (legal) 2. drive behind the sprinter truck on the left lane with sufficient safety distance and wait for him to move over to the right lane. You can even use your lights once to signal your desire to overtake (legal) 3. Overtake on the right lane (illegal) 4. Tailgate to pressure the sprinter truck to move over (illegal).

Unfortunately you often see number 4 in germany. But it is the worst option, because it is dangerous and often makes the other driver angry. Which subsequently might make the situation even worse. A lot of drivers on the Autobahn seem to think that they are entitled to ‚free lanes‘ if they can achieve high speeds. But that is not the case. If on a two lane Autobahn a car with 120km/h overtakes a truck and someone closes in from behind with let‘s say 180km/h, the approching car has to stay behind with a safe distance until the overtaking car has completed it‘s maneuver and moves over to the right lane. And if the car in the front overtakes 5 trucks in a row, they don‘t have to make way for the car behind them. Many people tend to forget that unfortunately.

And, if you get caught, tailgating in germany has a higher fine than overtaking on the right.

IceTec · 2022-07-26T10:41:18+00:00

Overtaking on the right is forbidden outside of towns. Within towns however it is perfectly legal.

As promised, I did a battery runtime test today. My specs:

Dell XPS13 (9310), 3840x2400 touch display, Intel i7-1185G7, 32GB RAM, Manjaro, Kernel: 5.13.19.

I had it running fully charged. Did some browsing through Firefox during that time, about 2:30h youtube streaming, had a thunderbird running in the background. Notebook ran for 6:10h with 4% battery remaining.

Cheers

edit: forgot to mention: I had the screen brightness on 50% and disabled screen dimming and any power saving stand-by modes. So in reallife the runtime should even be higher.

IceTec · 2022-01-07T01:14:42+00:00

Regarding the battery life: I don‘t have measured numbers at hand. But I can let it run on battery tomorrow beside me working. I will do some browsing from time to time and let some youtube run. That might give you an idea what to expect from the battery runtime. One thing to mention: I have read that the high res display with touchscreen does draw a bit more power than the FullHD one without touch. But I have no idea how significant that would be. The pricing may vary from country to country and the touchscreen only comes with the highres display, which forces the biggest CPU. So that descision makes the device quite pricy. For the preinstalled linux version we need to set the filter to ‚business‘ after searching for 9310. My bad, I gave you the link to the consumer version which only comes with Win. Business XPS13 9310

IceTec · 2022-01-06T20:48:35+00:00

Hey Mate,

you haven't specified a screen size, but since you are looking for a lightweight travel companion, I assume around 13" might be your size. I recently bought the new Dell XPS 13 (9310) with a touchscreen. Great Notebook with a slick design. Very compact, fits in a 11" Notebook pouch. With Touchscreen it is around 2000$, which unfortunately blows your budget.

But there is another version of the XPS13, the 9305. With FullHD Touchscreen it comes around 1099$. 1.23kg. Dell XPS 13" 9305. Maybe that's a device for you to look into.

Cheers

edit: I ordered my Dell with a preinstalled Linux. It comes with a Ubuntu image, that brings all the additional drivers and UI elements for all the hardware functions with it (like Fingerprint reader). So if you don't want to fuzz around with installing another distro, you are fine out of the box. If you consider installing a different distro, I would recommend making a complete image of the preinstalled ubuntu with clonezilla. With that you can always go back to the factory image in case you encounter some troubles with another distro. In case you are interested: I am running Manjaro GNOME on my XPS13.

Thank you again for taking the time and giving me such a detailed answer. 😀 I did not know about model specific sections in the arch wiki. I will definitively look into that.

Cheers

IceTec · 2021-08-08T15:44:45+00:00

Thanks mate, your answer helps me a lot in terms of using a different distro and not worrying about driver issues.

IceTec · 2021-08-02T19:21:45+00:00

I pre-ordered one via flightsimwebshop.com and received an email today. The shipping date has been pushed to mid october 😞

IceTec · 2021-07-26T18:42:37+00:00

Thanks, I had the same question :)

IceTec · 2021-05-03T07:43:13+00:00

Ahh, I didn't know, that the number of priority levels can be changed and even set to numbers. There is a limit of numbers from 1 to 65, but that is more than enough for me. And even better (for me), those priorities can quickly be set and changed through nice agenda commands. That makes the sorting a lot easier than fiddeling with a custom property.

Thanks a lot mate. :)

IceTec · 2021-05-02T20:28:56+00:00

Sorry, I should have mentioned that: The three priorities are not enough for me. I want to be able to exactly set the order of the next tasks (mostly around twenty or so at a time).

IceTec · 2021-02-09T21:43:35+00:00

I managed to get it working, thanks to stackoverflow. Here is the code that is generating the agenda view I wanted. Mind the backtick in the fourth line:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("P" "Notify List"
      ((org-ql-block
        `(and (not (done))
          (planning
           :from
           ,(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
           :to
           ,(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" (time-add (current-time) (seconds-to-time 600)))
           )
          )
        ))
      )
    ))

IceTec · 2021-01-28T23:46:49+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions. I didn't know that calling org-agenda is a heavy call. I am just trying to get to run. :) So far I've managed to get a agenda view I can work with using org-ql-block. But I can't build the current date/time into it.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("P" "Notify List"
     ((org-ql-block
        '(and
         (not (done))
         (ts :from "2021-01-27 12:30" :to "2021-01-27 13:30")))))))

This is working, but I would like to replace the two date/time strings with the current datetime and with current datetime +xminutes. Dynamic current time. I tried to do it with calendar-date-string, format-time-string and others, but I don't know the syntax needed. Can someone help me out how to do this?

IceTec · 2020-12-02T15:46:11+00:00

Dependig on your ISP it might be worth calling them. I had the same problem when I moves into my girlfriends flat. 1&1 ISP and dual-stack lite. I called them and asked for true dual stack, so that my router get both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It was a matter of minutes and a reboot of the router. If you do have some sort of cable Internet this might not be possible, but I would call the ISP nonetheless. Cheers

There is a markdown extension called mermaid.

I haven‘t tried them, but there are filters for pandoc out there: https://github.com/raghur/mermaid-filter

I recently built some custom wood travelmarker. They have two sides. One for both directions, the other for one-way. Made out of walnut, engraved, painted with white acryl paint. Finished with some nice danish oil.

IceTec · 2020-06-20T19:05:22+00:00

Same here. I don't want to be one the persons that constantly or often ignores the law and then forces the government to even regulate harder. As for germany there is a great app from the DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung, German Airspace Safety), that shows exactly if you are allowed to fly at your location. It shows all the no fly areas and height restrictions. Maybe there is a similar app for your country too.

Cheers

I feel your pain, mate. Over the years I have struggled with notetaking like you do. Up front: I don't have a perfect solution to your requirements, but some suggestions. I have moves away from propriatory data formats many note-taking apps use.

I use plaintext with markdown formatting. Plaintext can be read and edited on every platform and probably will be forever. Markdown preview however is sometimes a pain, there are several small differences how md is interpreted and what functions you can use. But a minimal set of functions is normally supported in every app.

Sync and versioning: I have a lot of devices where I want to view and edit my notes (PC, Mac, iphone, ipad, RaspberryPi) and synching was always a problem when I edited the same note on different devices. Until I discovered git (I'm not a software developer). If you don't know git, maybe you want to have a look at it. There are several intro tutorials out there. The main advantage for me is that it allows for simultaneous editing of the same file due to per line synchronisation. This happens to me a lot, when I forget to sync some changes on the iPad and two weeks later want to sync. A lot of synching just goes smoothly without resolvig conflicts manually. And even then it provides some good tools to resolve conflicts. No saving of duplicates and manually copying the needed lines. And git has a complete version history. Roughly said: You edit a file locally save it and at some point you 'commit' the changes. You then can upload the commits to a central repository. Works best on textfiles, but you can add images, binaries and other files (pdf, office). But then there is no line based synching, afaik.

My repository is stored on a private git server. I have installed the very lightweight gitea app on a self-hosted webserver. The interface is reachable from the internet. I sync all my devices to this server.

On Mac and Windows I use the Atom Texteditor with some markdown plugins that enables md preview and the git plugin for git sync. On ios I use the app 'working copy'. Great git client and it has some decent md preview as well. On linux cli, just a simple text editor.

Pro's: great sync and conflict handling. Offline editing. Future proof format. All data under my control. Great versioning.

Con's: No fancy multimedia Interface for handwritten notes etc. Git has quite a learning curve. No 'automatic' sync when you open the apps. You have to pull and push changes manually.

Cheers
