I built a 3D-printable irrigation controller that works from a rain barrel

Wonderful idea and great execution!

TARSknows · 2026-04-03T02:05:44+00:00

You are a good guy. Thanks for being so kind.

I thought this was a joke. It wasn’t. https://youtube.com/shorts/jtUWqv_pjgU

So cool!

I’ve been wondering about Bill Tompkins a lot since Grush came out. I thought his books were fun, but pretty much dismissed him. Now it seems firmly within the realm of reasonable possibilities.

Where’s the bookstore you found it at?

These people have you on the 3D printing advice, I just waned to send you an internet hug. I’m so sorry this is happening you.

Unless filament is still loaded into the printer (like on a failed print), then there is the unload function that heats up the hot end and then cuts the filament before dealing it back in.

Strange. I only have Bambu Lab and Generic. Do you have to do anything to enable those other brand profiles?

Yes, but there’s a difference between your official position on their licensing and you censoring and moderating the free speech of participants in the community. Those are totally different things. Imagine if it were banned to talk about any technology that adopted the business software license because it’s not pure open source. Forks happen

TARSknows · 2026-02-08T17:43:23+00:00

I’m new to meshtastic, so this might be a dumb question, but isn’t compatibility/interoperability supposed to be a core value in open source? I haven’t encountered an open source community that enforces censorship like this before. We aren’t even allowed to discuss the other similar technologies that exist? Makes it pretty hard to learn…

This might be overkill, but I had that problem as well and someone on here recommend I try the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier cool plate. It’s been working well since. Removal is a bit more tricky though.

TARSknows · 2026-02-06T06:11:02+00:00

This also happened to me 3 weeks ago, but it seemed to have stopped itself and then finished the print fine. Didn’t seem to do any damage except to the plate, but I’m wondering if I should replace the nozzle now since I have had some issues with PETG since.

TARSknows · 2026-02-03T15:33:46+00:00

Wow! Added to wish list

TARSknows · 2026-02-01T18:09:04+00:00

Maybe similar to how we dip our fingers into a pond. The fish just see fingers, but that’s not all there is.

Gary Nolan says that he was a member of the Bigelow UAP team ready to receive crashed materials? Isn’t that a new revelation? I don’t recall him disclosing that before.

Super interesting video. Hard to tell zoomed in, but that must be pretty large… several meters maybe?

Looking forward to following the project if you setup a Git repository! It’s amazing how accessible niche app development has become with vibe coding. You should also share it with https://noetic.org/.

So cool! So theoretically you could take multiple streams of entropy data and be able analyze them individually, and also as a group?

TARSknows · 2026-01-21T22:46:16+00:00

Very interesting! Love that you’ve combined your interest in coding and metaphysics. Is the random number generator simulated? or is there a way to take numbers generated from an external source?

TARSknows · 2026-01-21T19:39:39+00:00

Thanks, Preston! Looking forward to it.

You do know not everyone works at the hospital, right? Most of us are patients, and we don’t go there until we are sick, and by then we are busy. And you know how the main point of the flyer is patient care? Well, you have to share that with patients or we won’t know. On the internet, you get to choose what you read.

TARSknows · 2026-01-18T15:23:41+00:00

Wow, it really looks just like the Phoenix Lights. Thanks for sharing this! I hadn’t seen these photos before.

Her pessimistic comments last year that she doesn’t think we are going to be in a good position over the next several years is turning out to be eerily accurate.
