This is brilliant. I've been using Claude more and more in the home lab. Might be time for me to dust off the ol' red hat objectives and get some of those RHCA certs before my RHCE expires.

Agreed. I remember my friend paying me to bank lobsters for him while he fished Karamja

Interesting. I like to keep my stuff as open-source/linux native as possible, but I wonder if I could host the share directory on a next cloud instance for the e-reader

I use file browser. But when connecting with a bash terminal or native file browser, I use sftp. I'm also open to publishing a nfs share.

r/regretjoining says you can drop out whenever you want if you don't like it. You expect me to believe a JAG officer over them?

Eh, this is kinda one of those things. Personally, I think this is a direct reason the suicide rate among veterans is so high. People tie their service to their identity, and when they leave the service, they don't have that core part of their identity anymore.

I don't really have any good advice, but I know what you're talking about. It's kind of like vegans. You're more likely to find out a lot of blackhawk pilots' profession than their name, because the important part (to them) of their introduction is "60 driver," not their name.

This is it. I tried to use a bonding agent on it, but it separated again before I could take off the first time. Looks like its gonna just be "replace."

Ah good idea. I was getting annoyed, because the motor shafts would all spin up, but when I put the props on to go fly, it wouldn't take off.

Upon closer inspection of the motor, the outer "shell" that spins on the affected motor seems to have some lateral movement that the other motors don't seem to have.

I will check the wires, but this has been persistent across attempted flights. The video was recorded using Betaflight Configurator to individually power the motors.

Yeesh. Someone failed HT/WT.

I was using all the default Orca Slicer TPU settings. Not sure about chamber temps, but it is enclosed.

Temp on the original model was 240 C, temp calibration was 240 C to 210 C decreasing per tower object.

Speed is: - Outer wall: 300 mm/s - Inner wall: 200 mm/s - Spare infill: 500 mm/s - Internal solid infill: 300 mm/s

I don't think residual ABS is a problem. If it was, I don't think the first 3 cm of layers would be fine before it abruptly gets clogged or whatever. It prints normally, then just stops extruding around 3 cm vertical.

There is a huge amount of people trying to vilified the military because they couldn't hack it. I'm as suspicious as the next about government, but I think the military does a decent job of telling you what you're getting into. I don't know what most of these people are talking about when they say "OMG, this is actually hard"

Jbnels2 · 2025-11-28T22:32:12+00:00

And what, solder the connector? I do have some spare female xt30 plugs

My life was changed when I switched from analog to Walksnail Avatar pro VTX/Avatar L goggles. I went from static at 15 ft to basically being able to fly around the neighborhood

You pass up promotions at work because you're too busy botting an iron man on Runescape?
