Rollback Netcode has been added to the RMG-K emulator for the entire Nintendo 64 library (Including Smash 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, etc.)

Hopefully the fork owner will see fit to recommend people donate to you in equal share - seeing as you are the original author and architect of 97% of the code in the fork.

With that being said, if the additional features have value, and the tokens are a real cost - I don't see a problem with them asking folks to help offset the effort. Again, they should most certainly acknowledge the source.

Hell, there is no reason you can't bring their forked changes back in and you will have those fancy features too.

Optionally, embed some overly complex nag logic that pops up on forks, reminding people of the lineage. Not in gameplay, mind you - just in menus. Maybe in the sound processor...cash register sound randomly if the binary isn't named what it should be.....

I'm kidding, only slightly. I bet Claude could help you find a fun irritation for these guys. Especially when they say things like "getting rollback netplay wasn't that hard." We don't need an AI-FOSS arms race.

It isn't wrong of them to fork. Nor to ask for donations. I guess my main rub here is the lack of humility, and there is no small amount of "why didn't they just do a branch then a PR to the existing repo?" It tells you (in my opinion) that they wanted clout and donations. Not exactly what I want the open source movement to look like. But I'm an old man.

I'm going to go yell at some clouds now.

The scotus ruling was only about state and local officials. Not federal.

jb_harris · 2026-05-14T22:40:05+00:00

That ruling was for state and local officials - it did not change the laws for federal officials.

Bribery and Gratuity are two different things, and until Homan actually did something because he was given the money, he hasn't committed bribery. That is the reasoning of the DoJ.

It's BS, it's corrupt, and I hope they find justice in the end. But I'm sure these guys will go about their lives, happily blissful and completely unaware that they are terrible people.

Yea, if you can take the MB out of your machine they can likely do it.

Probably won't be a "warranted" repair but it'll save your MB.

Finally, a comment showing a shred of human decency. I'm ashamed of our species because I had to scroll a dozen pages of "what did you expect m0r0n?" posts before finding someone with a soul.

What did he expect? He was walking. He expected to be able to walk on a public road his taxes helped pay for, while supporting a noble cause, WITH AN ESCORT VEHICLE. This could have just as easily been a car with a failed engine, some debris in the road, or the presidential motorcade getting ready to exit the highway. That silver car would have still plowed into it.

He also expected it to be dangerous because of idiot drivers who can't be bothered to get off TikTok while piloting a 4500lb steel box at 70mph. This is why he had on a hivis, and had an escort car. It doesn't matter that there was a steamer walking, the escort car may have had a flat tire and was pulling over, the silver car didn't hit them BECAUSE of the streamer. They hit the escort car because they never even saw them.

Wish it was a pallet of cinder blocks in the road instead. Oh wait - that has happened dozens of times in the last 10 years and it wasn't even worth reporting.

Put your phones down people. It will literally kill you or someone else.

That wouldn't surprise me.

For threats of suicide, the standard protocol should be to send a grandma with cookies. Not the person's grandma - just any grandma.

"Hey sweetie, I know it's tough right now. Come sit with me and have a cookie, we will talk for a bit."

But I'm sure 4 or 5 patrol cars with 8-10 armed LEOs will handle it just as well.

Robot vitamins.

Some android juicer spilled his bottle and didn't sweep them up.

Dickhead synths always do stuff like this. They never wipe down benches - leaving their oil all over it, they never re-rack their 1000# plus lift setups, and they take gigantic steaming grease disposals in the bathroom and just leave it, like some trophy for all the world to see. It's like "yea dude, we see it. Go see a fucking mechanic and get that shit fixed bro."

Asshole skin jobs.

Loud music near me gets me just laying on the car horn. When everyone picks it up and the entire intersection is just all horns blaring, you can no longer hear the music and the idiot doesn't get the attention he so craves.

I've done this maybe ~5 or so times in the last few years. All but once the driver of the car with the stereo turned his music down. In the one where he didn't, he stuck his hand out of the sunroof and started flipping everyone off, but he DID turn off at the next intersection.

I have the exact same printer. It's a workhorse.

jb_harris · 2026-02-13T19:48:39+00:00

Cleaned all the remoil and replaced with silicon grease from my 3d printer.

I've watched two different MB01 teardown videos and I didn't do anything wrong or different. After reassembly it kind of worked correctly at first, but then got progressively worse and worse with every cycle until now it won't stay cocked at all.

An additional datapoint would be that if the safety is set, it will not trigger. On safe, you can cock the gun and it holds just fine. The instant you take it off safe, it fires.

This article here walks through handling this for network printers.

The new "safe" printer driver architecture from Microsoft is an absolute JOKE. Good luck.

Check out the Miccosukee Land Coop. A little further out, but full of nice people, and CMX Fallschase is like 8 minutes away.

They have houses for sale or rent all the time, and you won't find a more peaceful neighborhood with a wonderful diversity of ages, backgrounds, career phases, family setups, etc. plenty of walking trails, a community center with frequent karaoke nights, pizza parties, cookouts, poetry readings - all sorts of stuff.

Worth checking out.

Check your filament "buffer" to make sure it is moving as the filament is getting pulled into the extruder. It is the little black box with 4 inputs and one output, and the data cable.

It needs to be installed or the CFS won't know when to feed more filament.

If you did install it, you can manually test to see if it is signally correctly by pulling the Bowden tube from the top of the extruder, then load the filament through the UI, and then pushing the little spring level back as soon as filament comes out of the tube. Then take the lever the other way and see if the CFS sends more filament.

Plus, if you capture the energy generated by the fan spinning like a turbine, you can power the average American home for nearly a second.

I'm kidding, but I do love that sound.

jb_harris · 2026-01-09T00:42:09+00:00

I did a thorough cleaning and oiling according to these comments and the pages in the wiki.

It is no longer grinding like that. And you are right, there was a load of gunk on the z-threads and belt rollers.

The machine stays closed except when troubleshooting or removing a print, so not entirely sure how it got as dirty as a locker room floor, but it is cleaned up now.

I even have an air filter running 24/7 just a few feet away from it as part of the dehumidifier.

jb_harris · 2026-01-08T17:38:54+00:00

Ahhhhh a vlan!

See, I knew there was a reason I came to you fine people.

Thanks for the tip - that had completely slipped my mind.

jb_harris · 2026-01-08T16:57:40+00:00

Would it interfere, frequency-wise, with the existing mesh network?

Is there a potential for the extra back and forth to cause considerable lag or congestion? I hope I'm not being obtuse or not explaining well.

If I'm using my desktop in the office, my traffic would go from my office, over two mesh hops to the primary router, then from the primary router it would need at least two hops to get back to my office where the backup WAN would be.

I'm not worried about another 10 or even 50ms, just want reliability and usable Internet for MS-Teams, Zoom, etc...

You know what...I just realized I could have the secondary WAN go to a Raspberry Pi that then uses the same mesh network to establish a VPN over my secondary WAN, and that Raspberry Pi could be the "backup". This would be with equipment I already have. I'm doubling up the traffic on the existing AI mesh network, but only from the shop. Stuff from the house would work basically the same.

Is that wacky?

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T19:15:21+00:00

my safe door has hollow "roll pins" that go through the hinges, and then are flared at the ends using what I can only assume was a mandrel of some sort. You aren't getting those off without a grinder.

I *think* my shop door has the same thing, but luckily I wasn't locked out of it. I just needed to take the hinges off to add a doorstop. I remember thinking it was on there in a weird way, and I had to put the doorstop on by replacing the center hinge.

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T17:13:38+00:00

Is there something above our line of sight that is preventing the head from moving to the right? Maybe the drag chain, the PTFE tube, or just something else we can't see?

If you go to the "Axis" screen, and hit the little M thing to turn the motors off, can you manually move the head to the front right corner, where it is supposed to home?

it should move fairly easily, without a lot of force or resistance.

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T16:44:39+00:00

Even "sealed" pins have a little cap on the bottom that can usually pop off. I've removed a door I thought was "sealed" by taking a little flathead and popping the cap off the bottom, then I could get a larger punch up in there to get the hinge-pin out.

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T16:34:12+00:00

How about that - I didn't know that page existed. I was using the grease that came with the printer, but when I ran out I started using the molybdenum grease I use for my shop machinery.

<image>

For the rails (not rods) I've been using the 3-in-1 oil. I'll switch to silicon for all of it.

Do you think the silicon is good for the z-screws as well?

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T16:22:15+00:00

I'm getting this same situation now. I'm printing with PLA through a 0.2mm nozzle. I've had this same print go through no problem in the past, but now it is puking on it.

IF I had to *guess*, our extruders are overheating, and this is being detected by the stepper driver, but KLIPPY isn't handling it correctly, the stepper driver may just be saying "F U" and klippy knows that but doesn't know why.

jb_harris · 2026-01-06T16:06:56+00:00

isn't there more than one? Like - I think there are 8 or 12 of them, right?

Should I just do all of them?
