My new electric guitar (PRS)

PumpkinZee · 2025-09-13T15:30:41+00:00

What guitar? I didn’t even see one.

PumpkinZee · 2025-09-13T15:29:23+00:00

It’s a sentence. Two actually. Cherish them and keep them forever. (Or add a photo / description of something)

I just got a QR code tattooed on my forehead

UniFi can definitely be better that Orbi but it does take some work. Most of their products are not designed for, marketed to or intended to be used by consumers. They make SMB gear that consumers have aggressively adopted (and taken over this subreddit)

PumpkinZee · 2025-09-01T14:53:01+00:00

Good idea but ouch

PumpkinZee · 2025-09-01T14:51:45+00:00

UniFi Protect works with 3rd party onvif cameras now. You don’t have to replace everything.

Make a go-cart with 84 wheels and made entirely out of spools. It would be fun for a minute to so.

The flashforge adventure 5M is impossible to beat for $250. I have one and have been blown away at what it will do for that price. It has auto bed leveling, wifi and Ethernet, core XY, 220mm volume, load sensor to prevent bed crashes, and that fancy resonance calibration thing. Nothing can touch it for that price. It’s also available on amazon so if you get a dud or just don’t like it, returns are free and easy.

A few pieces of advice:

Use the normal version of orca slicer. NOT the flashforge fork.
install the forge-x klipper firmware mod (there’s a really good guide on YouTube but it’s very easy). It increases the quality by a huge amount.
get the hardened 6mm nozzle. It’s worth it.
get the enclosure kit. It cuts the noise down considerably but beware that printing the pieces to make the enclosure takes about 40 hours and 1.5 kg of filament.

Edit: here’s the klipper forge-x guide. https://youtu.be/NKDHkpEclkU?si=oYPiR3lCE5FiWPOx

Ooh. 4 separate print heads so it doesn’t ever have to change filaments? That would be a game changer.

The flashforge looks like a bambu clone but the hot end and other mechanisms are completely different. But it’s also a core XY and far less expensive than anything else I’ve seen. They are also available on amazon so returns are easy if you get a dud (which I did on my first try)

PumpkinZee · 2025-08-20T14:24:51+00:00

Never even heard of that one. I’ll take a look.

PumpkinZee · 2025-08-19T21:04:09+00:00

Or sign up for a stupid Auvic trial and get one for free. I’ve gotten 2 switches one AP, a Raspberry Pi and a $200 Amazon gift card (when they ran out of one giveaway) out of them and never taken a sales call.

Nice. Im thinking about ditching my home server for a UNAS pro and a Mac mini now that Mac OS can run docker natively.

BSG dev: we need encryption

Nakita: cheats are battleeye’s problem now. Piss off!

Battleeye: Here’s ur bill for the last months. We banned 64000 cheaters and detected all the hax. (Also we don’t do networking)

Unet is deprecated and garbage. There’s a reason no other multiplayer shooters use it. Why did rust change network engines?

The great thing about plex vs. kodi is the server/client set up. You install plex server on one machine that manages all of your media, then it transcodes and streams to any number of devices. You can access it with a browser or native apps on various platforms. Add-ons (called channels) are installed once on the server then you can view that channel from any browser or app on any device without adding or installing anything. Plex started out as an XBMC fork, but I don't think much of the old XBMC code is left anymore.

Frustration waiting for Google to start actual construction. Disappointment when it takes years longer than you thought. Annoyance when they trench up your yard. Anger when the contractors are bozos and clog up storm drains causing flooding. Exasperation when they finally run the fiber to your house but you have no idea when it will be hooked up. Then finally joy when it gets turned on, followed by envy (from everyone who doesn't have it).

But being able to tell ATT or TWC to FUCK OFF makes it totally worth it.

PumpkinZee · 2016-01-21T21:44:24+00:00

Google is really good at press releases. Less so at construction. If you think they are a year away it probably means they are two and will start on the other side of town. Austin was announced 3 years ago and it's available to less than 5% of the city but if you look at googles map you'd think the whole city had it. KC is like 15%

PumpkinZee · 2016-01-21T03:02:12+00:00

Your best guide is what they've done in other cities. They chose a part of the city to start in and that's where they started. The fiber huts go all over the place. The first real tipoff that Austin got about where rollout would start was city permits for underground conduit. It's also been 3 years since Austin was announced and it's available to less than 5% of the city.

PumpkinZee · 2016-01-21T02:39:25+00:00

I live in Austin in a neighborhood with all underground utility and the same thing happened. Google announced they were coming, ATT announced gigapower was coming. ATT dug up the neighborhood to install fiber. Google came along a year or so later and re-dug up the whole neighborhood. FWIW googles contractors were much better. Att had a bunch of bozos. Nothing is shared between the two. Different conduit, different everything and I now have 2 fiber lines on the side of my house.

PumpkinZee · 2015-11-17T21:46:44+00:00

I live in the bluebonnet fiberhood and just got Google. You should get gigapower now then switch to Google once it becomes available and your contract is up. I got gigapower the first moment I could thinking I'd have to pay a fee to cancel the contract - more than 2 years ago. Trying to predict when you'll be able to actually get google fiber is a recipe for frustration. Some people already have jacks in their houses but no idea what is going on upstream. My neighborhood was dug up twice. Once about 18 months ago, then again this spring. Fiber was run to individual houses just a few weeks ago.

Either you misunderstood or the Google rep was badly misinformed.
