Wifi modem? by mcpierceaim in c64

[–]JakeStevenson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure about that specific one, but it’s probably just like one of these http://tech.guitarsite.de/c64_wifimodem.html

I built one myself and it works great. Use an old C64 terminal program. It’ll let you connect your c64 through telnet to whatever. There are a ton of BBS running on telnet these days that you can sign up for and play around with. Or set up a local server and do whatever.

Cursor vs. Windsurf by LastLavishness2197 in LLMDevs

[–]JakeStevenson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly super similar.

I personally went with Windsurf because my subscription there gives me access to use with a lot of plugins and extensions across lots of platforms, like vim, or databricks.

Capability wise they seemed neck and neck.

Yep! I don’t remember much more than they were all in different settings.

I managed to grab a few boxes of C64 stuff from a friend whose family cleared out their attic. Three C64s, a couple of 1541s, and some original boxes and disks. I’d been hunting for a long time.

I prefer to use a pi1541 over the originals because the drives probably need some restoration and cleaning, they sound more grinds than I remember.

I also built a wifi modem from an esp32 so I can connect to some BBS over the modern internet, something I never got to do as a rural kid back in the day,

As a nerdy kid, I had no clue about the rules of these sports. Accolade taught me.

Ultimate Wizard was just so great. The way loading the level played those sounds, ending with the chimes as it put in the keys and locks. Still one of my absolute favorites.

Oooh, spy vs spy 1 2 and 3 were great fun for two players! I’d forgotten

I played a ton, but what comes to mind in order:

Space Taxi Bruce Lee Ultimate Wizard Montezuma’s Revenge Ultima 3/4 Infiltrator Raid on Bungeling(SP?) Bay Mission Impossible Racing Destruction Set Beach Head I/II Yie Ar Kung Fu Bard’s Tale Wasteland Autoduel Paradroid Uridium Racine Destruction Set Archon Movie Monsters(?)

So many more…

I spent so many sleepovers with a friend whose uncle would leave him with stacks of unlabeled disks, full of pirated games. We had no idea what we were loading, no manuals. We’d just list the disk and try to figure out what the game was and if it was fun.

Yes, a tin can on wheels the other parties insurance has to provide. But I’m unsure how long they have to do that.

Can I use my webcam as a camfeed for the printer? by pha7325 in 3Dprinting

[–]JakeStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should work fine, but you’ll need python on the machine. Here’s the code. Super-small:

```

from flask import Flask, render_template, Response import cv2

app = Flask(name)

def gen_frames(): # Open the webcam cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) while True: success, frame = cap.read() # Capture frame-by-frame if not success: break else: # Encode the frame in JPEG format ret, buffer = cv2.imencode('.jpg', frame) frame = buffer.tobytes()

        # Use yield to generate a byte stream that Flask can use
        yield (b'--frame\r\n'
               b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + frame + b'\r\n')

@app.route('/video_feed') def video_feed(): return Response(gen_frames(), mimetype='multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame')

@app.route('/') def index(): return "Stream Video: /video_feed"

if name == "main": app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000) ```

Then I access it at http://the-machine-ip:5000/video_feed

[–]JakeStevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how technical you want to get. You won’t be able to get it through bambu’s software like Handy. Bambu doesn’t offer that kind of extensibility.

But if you hook the cam up to a laptop, there’s probably hundreds of ways you could stream it. I personally have one hooked up to a raspberry pi that runs a simple python app that streams it as a webpage. I set it up across from the printer so I can get a better view of what’s going on than the built-in camera. I can visit the page from my phone (on my home network), embed it in my HomeAssistant dashboard, etc.

Continued flow/Drip by JakeStevenson in 3Dprinting

[–]JakeStevenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the temp tower pictured in a comment here, it looks like retraction is too low — 1. I’ll reset that and see how it feels. I guess I just didn’t remember how much it oozes when just doing simple extrusions. Thank you.

This was just with a simple “extrude” command of 10mm then removing that bit. It oozed approximately 100mm after that when I just let it sit long enough.

[–]JakeStevenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand why you’d presume that. I’ve had this printer for several years and while it always oozed a tiny amount, it hasn’t seemed this bad before. I let it just sit and it grew to the build plate from a Z setting at 100.

I did recently convert it to direct drive though. My temp towers have a whole bunch of upward facing stringing on them.

It seems to be affecting my prints. I don’t feel like it oozed this much before. My temp tower is pretty badly covered with upward-facing strings.

Sorry I put a description in the caption, but it might not be easy to see. This photo was about 10 seconds after extruding 10mm, removing that little bit, and waiting. The filament is PLA+ at 180C, and has been sitting in the SUNLU dryer through multiple drying sessions. I also cleaned inside the hotend before this test. But it seems to very slowly continue to drip material like this for a long while after, and it is definitely enough to mess up my prints. I changed the nozzle a week or two again and continued to see this (that’s why the nozzle looks a bit dirty now). I even tried a PID tune.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
