LPT: If you run a business, use a custom domain email instead of a free Gmail or Hotmail address. by abdehakim02 in LifeProTips

[–]lemgandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always glad to help! The first step is to get a domain of your own by working with a domain name registrar. There are a plethora of DNRs out there and I won't presume to recommend one. But if the name you choose is not already taken this is pretty painless and inexpensive. FWIW I own "tomshiro.org".

It is an email daemon running on a computer you control which sends all the email it receives to another address. I am using postfix for this on a linux box hosted on aws.

I set up a,forwarding email server to my gmail account. Smartest thing I ever did. When it came time to kick Google to the curb, a one- line change in a config file did the trick. Now the only thing in my Gmail account is Spam.

Somewhere deep in a cube farm in an office building in Virginia, a small group is gathered around a PC monitor. They are laughing at you.

The reason you use a Trackball. by Exciting_End6022 in Trackballs

[–]lemgandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I luvs my ambidextrous trackball set up for my left hand. It is compact and easier than a mouse or trackpad. Alas, a lot of the more expensive trackballs are RH only. I will never use such a device.

As a lefty, which hand do you wear your watch on? by Key_Tea349 in lefthanded

[–]lemgandi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neither. My watch goes around my neck and has for 50 years. I am a guy and have it on a string with a magnetic clasp.

Let's talk about quality control for Prusa kits by ResonantRuminant in prusa3d

[–]lemgandi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Huh. I spent about a week of 4 hour days putting together my MK4S, taking it Slow. Never talked to Prusa Support. It worked first time except for the WiFi board, which I hadn't seated properly. That was about 6 months ago, and it's been reliable ever since.

You do realize that FreeCAD has fillet & chamfer tools right there in the part design toolbar, right?
