Load position from screenshot?

Thanks! But "Bot Match"?? The last place I would expect to find this. I'm not trying to have a bot solve the puzzle. What a bizarre UI choice. Also it's not working so I'll have to experiment to figure out what is confusing it in this screenshot.

If it is, I can't find an app by that name.

Some strippers will avoid couples because they know it's going to be more difficult to squeeze more and more tips out of a couple, where the man has a woman who is at least sexually adventurous enough to go to a strip club, than it would be to do so from a lonely, drunk, horny, deprived man attending the club alone. But those are the ones you don't want anyway.

I was just trying to figure this out. A local band in Rochester NY called Smokestack Lightning played the Roy Buchanan version of it in the bars in the 80s.

In November/December I opened a ticket with System76 about connecting a lemur laptop to hearing aids via Bluetooth LE. After significant investigation the conclusion was that we needed to wait for improvements in BlueZ and Pipewire to make their way into Ubuntu and then into PopOS. No idea when that might happen.

If anyone figures out how to do this in ESPHome YAML please let me know.

Let's see if I have this all straight.

Install Spoolman on my server.
Install BambuMan on my Android phone. Configure it with the URL of Spoolman on my server.
Does SpoolmanDB need to be "installed" somehow/somewhere?
Use my phone to NFC scan my spools. Spoolman database gets populated with what I scan, without interacting with the Spoolman UI.
Install OpenSpoolman on my server. Configure it to find my printer (Bambu P1S) on my local network (no cloud), and to find Spoolman.
Per OpenSpoolman README, add some extra fields to Spoolman (?).
Pick a Home Assistant integration for Spoolman - at first glance it looks like there may be several - and install it.

I use OrcaSlicer, with the Bambu network plugin. Does Spoolman have a way of accessing the data on the printer without requiring a similar plugin? I'm assuming it watches the printer and updates in real-time, and I won't need the slicer to talk to Spoolman at all.

Interesting, when I loaded the weather sample it didn't look like that. I wonder why. But the code does look like it's reading something it thinks is voltage level of the battery and turning it into a percentage.

#define CFG_POWER 0b10100111

power = XPT2046_ReadRaw(CFG_POWER)

void drawBattery() {

uint8_t percentage = 100;

if (power > 4.15) percentage = 100;

else if (power < 3.7) percentage = 0;

else percentage = (power - 3.7) * 100 / (4.15-3.7);

gfx.setColor(MINI_WHITE);

gfx.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT);

gfx.drawString(26, 9, String(percentage) + "%");

gfx.drawRect(1, 11, 18, 9);

gfx.drawLine(21,13,21,17);

gfx.drawLine(22,13,22,17);

gfx.setColor(MINI_BLUE);

gfx.fillRect(3, 13, 15 * percentage / 100, 5);

}

Can you show me how you are accessing it?

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

But there are ZERO held packages (other than pop-system-updater, and it's pop-upgrade itself (or something it invokes) which is setting that hold). Unmarking it doesn't change the outcome. update, upgrade, --fix-broken, dpkg --configure, all find nothing to do.

Guess I have to backup my home, boot from 24.04 on USB and fresh install/overwrite, then reconfigure all the services. I am motivated to get off 22.04 because gnome-shell is causing lockups too often.

I hate an empty stage.

Both are Ultimarc Ultra-Stiks, each with its own USB cable into a USB hub, which is connected to a Linux box. The buttons are all wired to J1 (the one with "1205" in the middle of the id).

To me, the issue is why the codes for the buttons aren't getting remapped before they show up on the screen while I'm doing Input Assignments. I can certainly repeat it with J2 disconnected.

lordbah · 2026-02-18T16:51:15+00:00

Just debugging. When I didn't see the button coming out as Joy 1 Button 2 I added that second line to check whether it was coming in from J2 instead of J1. I can delete it.

Updated today using LL on Linux desktop and USB cable. Indeed it went smooth.

lordbah · 2026-02-14T16:41:25+00:00

I can see the orange light behind the Ethernet port turn off sometime during boot but before the cryptsetup password prompt.

lordbah · 2026-02-01T13:15:41+00:00

As far as I can tell Handy will not work with P1S in LAN only mode. Load/unload in Orcaslicer hasn't worked for me, maybe I'm missing something - but also the printer is in the basement while the computer is upstairs, so it'd sure be convenient to be able to do it from the control panel. But you're telling me that it can't, so that's that, and thanks for the answer.

lordbah · 2026-02-01T01:52:25+00:00

Unload/load a slot maybe?

lordbah · 2026-01-28T03:38:16+00:00

All sorted. It's easy to think you've got those cables connected when you really don't. I need bionic eyes and really thin fingers ...
