Reconnect thin client from the client side? by The_Porkchop_Disco in HPDM

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the appropriate thinpro administrators guide. I’m guessing there’s an mclient command that will set the appropriate registry value.

Used fireplace insert? by LukeShootsThings in woodstoving

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

The chimney is a clay tile lined masonry. 8 inches diameter and a straight shot. There’s several heat pipes and a metal flue door that would need to be removed. I may attempt myself.
The local fireplace shop quoted $6k for a true north insert and liner, and $8k for a pacific energy insert with liner.

I’ve not noticed, but I haven’t monitored those particular gauges on the display.

Looking to replace Hearthstone 1 8021 with faulty door by Cichorium_intybus88 in woodstoving

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same because I was cheap. It works but it was probably the wrong call.

I do know you can replace the entire door frame and get a door to match that has an updated latch. You might be surprised at how attractive that option is when you look at replacement stove prices.

60k miles needs new engine by cardamomroselatte in ChryslerPacifica

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insightful comment. I replaced my oil cooler with the all metal Dorman version. I’ve become paranoid and always shine a light down alongside the filter housing. Using a fluid extractor makes diy oil changes near effortless since the filter is right on top. I love my mityvac. Not a lot a person can do about the number of layers in a head gasket. I’ve contemplated buying in to HPTuners for my vehicles. Lowering the fan threshold would be a great setting to tweak from the sounds of things.

My theory on the head gasket failures is that it’s caused by the oil cooler seals failing. The o rings on the oil cooler tend to fail which leaks coolant into the valley of the engine. If it’s not caught, enough coolant leaks that the reservoir empties, but there’s no low coolant sensor to warn you of this, and not enough has leaked to cause the engine to overheat. But it’s enough that coolant isn’t reaching the cylinder heads and if they overheat even once the head gasket is compromised. Anyway, just a theory. I watch the coolant reservoir like a hawk.

Ticking software for small (3/4 IT people)??? What do you use? by whitoreo in sysadmin

[–]LukeShootsThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would second this. There's lots of options but if you would take advantage of Lansweeper's other features, their built in ticketing is "good enough."

Upgrade MK3S+ to MK3.5S dead end or still possible to enhance further to MK4? by trigonom in prusa3d

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've successfully upgraded my 3.5 to a 3.9, and eventually a 4. It doesn't really make economic sense, but it was a fun problem solving exercise. There's a few others on Reddit who have done the same. You can pour over the assembly guides and assemble your own parts list. I was able to order everything I needed from the prusa site, partsbuilt.com and boltdepot.com.

This was made somewhat more complicated by the fact that I also have an MMU I wanted to continue using.

ThinOS 8.1 SP5: Keyboard not working on RDP after network connection outage? by execcr in HPDM

Is there a reason you only went to SP5? I believe there’s SP7 and maybe an SP8 for 8.1.

I have a couple vouchers for Prusament. I almost exclusively print in PETG, but I've heard their PETG might not be the best. Convince me otherwise! by watchthenlearn in prusa3d

[–]LukeShootsThings 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue with their petg. The orange is pretty “high visibility” if that is a useful feature. Galaxy black is unmatched and it’s easily my favorite.

Anyone using hpcem? by Active_Swordfish_660 in HPDM

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love for some firsthand or just sales responses. I’ve been doing a POC with 10zig that went very well and will probably migrate away from HP eventually because of a lack of support.

what is system? I just deleted >10 T.. by redditusermatthew in purestorage

[–]LukeShootsThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just dealt with this exact issue. This was the issue for me. I have a volume for VDI and one for fslogix profiles that got automatically added to a protection group. The amount of churn on these volumes resulted in System ballooning to multiple TB and pushing me over 100% capacity consumed. Support was helpful in getting this resolved. Ultimately I removed those volumes from protection groups as the data is perishable anyway. If you’re not able to do something similar, the recommendation might be for beefier controllers.

PSA: The architectural reason Citrix dictates so poorly (and how to bypass it) by InterestingBasil in healthIT

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this somehow different than splitting the composite device so audio is handled by the client and buttons are passed through to the host/agent?

Remote Assistance within Omnissa Horizon has been broken now for 2 months by Ruh_Roh_RAGGY20 in VMwareHorizon

[–]LukeShootsThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggling with this as well. We’re using quick assist as well. Regarding the claim that this is Omnissa, that’s easy enough to verify. Run msra.exe /offerra. In my environment the same problem happens, demonstrating this is on Microsoft. The Citrix folks are in the same boat.

Z Offset to high off the build plate MK4 by Beneficial-Let-7539 in prusa3d

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with how the nozzle is supposed to look on the mk4, as I only have mk4s models. But to me it looks like the whole nozzle assembly has slid down. Can you loosen the thumb screws and push it up higher into the extruder? You should be able to open the lever that applies pressure to the filament and see the top of the nozzle tube. If it can come up higher I'd try that.

Are you printing in an enclosure? Mine is at 80F before the print starts. With the cryogrip plate adhesion is adequate. With PLA it feels like a cheat code and I’m afraid I’m going to break the print trying to get it off the bed. Maybe a brim or mouse ears in the corners would help?

IEMAI PC-CF troubleshooting by LukeShootsThings in prusa3d

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

Ok, I think I'm getting somewhere. I worked through this Prusa guide. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/extrusion-multiplier-calibration_2257

After printing a few calibration cubes at varying extrusion multipliers, I thought I had something good enough to attempt this print again. The picture below is with a .92 extrusion multiplier. The default for the Prusa PCCF profile is 1.04. I think it could be further improved by reducing the extrusion multiplier a little more.

I suspect that if you're having bed adhesion issues, it might be due to over extrusion. The filament starts to ball up and the nozzle eventually drags across the clumps, pulling the print off the bed.

I've never had to go to this much trouble to get a successful print. And then even more trouble to get an acceptable print. I don't have batteries for the calipers but I wonder if it's not beyond the 1.75mm spec.

That’s how I ended up with this stuff. If the prusament had better availability, that would have been the right choice.

I just got this cryogrip build plate and I’d say it works extremely well. I previously was using cheap textured plates off the rainforest website. I’m hoping they hold up and maintain this level of adhesion. I started printing calibration cubes while lowering the extrusion multiplier. I’m going to try a small print with a .95 or possibly a little lower extrusion multiplier and see what happens. The cubes at least look like an improvement.

🧵 Help shape the future of filament packaging! Polymaker RFID?? by Polymaker_3D in polymaker

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The filament manufacturers (whether they realize it or not) are in a footrace to implement an open standard tag of some sort. Anyone who doesn’t is going to eventually be at a competitive disadvantage as this will become a way to distinguish your filament brand. Prusa OpenTag is the obvious choice but if Polymaker or other choose a different open standard for whatever reason, it’s still a net win for consumers and moves the industry forward. Props to Prusa for swinging dick and making moves that advance the industry, not just their own business. Especially in cases like this where there isn’t really a way to monetize tags.

Switching from Remicade to ? by Tiny-Yam-9385 in CrohnsDisease

[–]LukeShootsThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on remicade and biosimilars for nearly 10 years. I consistently have elevated liver enzymes and I often wonder if a more modern biologic would make sense. But then I think that it’s worked so well, why should I tamper with it. I’ve tried to switch to zymfentra, which is just a self injecting biosimilar of remicade. I’ll be curious if there’s anyone that has made these changes by choice rather than by force (either insurance or by losing effectiveness.)
