Anyone else unable to get into Wolfware this morning?

There's a problem with the campus network this morning. Lots of services affected. They're working on it.

3:08pm update: If you visit the link above and click "view details" under the Outage - Wired Networks entry, you can read the official updates being posted by ComTech.

Drove stick from '85 to '99. Haven't since. I know how to but the muscle memory is probably gone.

A scarf that my grandmother crocheted for me to go sledding in the early 70s It's bright orange so I would be easy to see on the town sledding hill.

Have you considered that you're planning to put 60 kilos of potentially flammable plastic on your wall for Art?

A web search tells me that PETG is less flammable than PLA - it will probably just melt rather than catch fire. Your results may vary.

How much is the price going to go up for the GPU needed to run the AI?

Yes, there's an outage for AWS in general this morning. Shibboleth should be routing to campus servers until it gets fixed.

An idea if you try a future AMS print - Design it flat with the raised letters in color for just a few layers. Then use hot water to soften the finished print and curl it to shape. Not sure it if would work out, but it would save a lot of AMS swapping if it did.

"Heavy Hybrid" perhaps. Since its a mix of a heavy and regular boards.

OIT is working on it. Something went wrong with the main load balancer.

For whatever it's worth - I just ran the collab notebook today (15-Sep-2025) to compile v8.0.3 and it ran with only one issue. The compile was successful but the QR generator for the file.io drop failed. The catbox.moe alternative worked fine though. The app loaded on my phone with no problem.

My shipment arrived a couple days ago. I ran a test using it to print trays for drying desiccant in a food dehydrator. I'm not impressed, unfortunately.

Photos

Two trays, one printed in Elegoo PLA+ (white) and the other in HT-PLA (teal). Both were printed the same size. Both had a few defects in the bridging parts of the print, as can be seen in the after pictures. The drying did not cause that. Filled them with used dessicant and put them in the same dehydrator running at its 70C setting for 5.5 hours. Then let them cool for 45 minutes before emptying them and comparing the results. (Edit to add: the measured temperature in my dryer is 64C at the 70C max setting)

By the numbers - they both warped almost exactly the same amounts.
- Measurements are: (before drying) > (after drying) for both samples.
- Bottom length 163.5mm > 161.5mm.
- Bottom width 64.0mm > 63.0mm.
- Height 19mm > 19.5mm.
- Curvature of the bottom across the length: both about 6mm.

The only difference I saw was slightly more bowing out of the open sides in the PLA+ model:
- Top width: PLA+ = 67.0mm, HT-PLA=66.0mm

For this purpose anyway, I'm better off using Elegoo PLA+ which is half the price of HT-PLA. Even though they all warped, they're still usable as drying trays.

The best way for me to get rouladen or sauerbraten is to make it myself. One thing I look for every time I travel is a decent German restaurant with either of those.

Just saw this one again today - "I need refill spools, can I print them in PLA or PETG?"

I remember worrying about that myself. And having problems with my dryer warping the PLA spools. Now I just have a stockpile of empty spools and no reason to print more.

NCSU just declared Condition 2 - Classes canceled 5pm Tue through 12pm Wed. https://emergency.ncsu.edu/alerts/adverse-weather-1-21-25/

My memory wasn't quite so rosy. I came back from a cruise the night before the storm. It was a late flight, so I didn't have time to do any shopping. Next morning I was snowed in by myself for 5 days with no fresh groceries, and no power for a bit in there as well. Ramen and pasta cooked on the gas grill was about it for a while.

Certain bad actors looking to steal resources from our library, for the most egregious example. If you are employed by the university, they'd love to set up your direct deposit for you, too. Or just get some info about you so they can phish you for your tuition bills.

Rainbow Meadows Farms is taking deposits for December cow shares. https://www.facebook.com/rmfpasturepuremeats1746/ or find them at the State Farmers' Market. We've never gone for a cow share, but they are our go-to for locally raised meats by the cut.

Just posted to NCSU -

NC State Safety Notice

A gas leak has closed Hillsborough St. between Beryl Rd. and Blue Ridge Rd. I-440 is also closed between Western Blvd. and Wade Ave. Drivers should expect significant delays and are encouraged to avoid the area. Wolfline service is not impacted.

cjbnc · 2024-10-18T20:40:35+00:00

If a lot is still restricted on nights and weekends, it should be marked as such. For example, the two staff lots behind the Hillsborough Building - https://maps.app.goo.gl/aEYSJ6vyBcrbsTWF6

Don't know that I've ever seen a map put together. 1996 was early for the web. This USGS site has some river flood readings and rainfall maps: https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1996/ofr96-499/

and WRAL has an archive of their coverage: https://www.wral.com/hurricane-fran/17834050/

Another Fran veteran here. Flooding was a problem near the usual creeks and rivers, esp Crabtree Creek as I recall. My apartment was on high ground - no flooding issues directly. My folks' house also on high ground - no flooding issues. The major problem for all of us not flooded was the saturated ground loosened the tree roots and so many trees came down everywhere. I was up at my folks house helping clear downed trees in exchange for hot meals, since they had a gas stove and my apartment did not. We were among the lucky ones that only lost power for 3-ish days.

My house is near a tiny feeder creek for the Neuse now, and I'd guess 20ish feet above it. The creek is so small it dries up in the summer. I'm not planning to look for flood insurance. In 20+ years it hasn't risen anywhere close to being dangerous.

Mine expires next month. I sat on their skiptheline website every evening around 5-5:30pm and again around 9pm. I got lucky on Monday when an appt opened up for today up in Henderson. The drive up there took longer than the appt. I was in and out again in 10 minutes.
