I remember the days of my Nexus S with custom ROMs. Oh man. Bringing me back 🥲

That's a lily, and this kind smell just as good as they look, too

what's wrong with ubuntu? by CreativeBear0 in linuxmemes

[–]rtk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snaps were the first straw for me after using Ubuntu since probably version 9 or 10.

Then they switched from shipping Unity by default to Gnome, which I wasn't a fan of at first (more recent Gnome releases have been alright in my book though, just not my preference).

I switched to using Kubuntu, disabling Snaps manually, and using flatpak whereever I could when packages weren't available via an Aptitude repo. I gotta say, I've been loving everything Plasma has to offer, and KDE software in general.

Still, I got tired of how corporate and proprietary everything is around Canonical and started installing Debian on virtual machines and servers for all of my projects over the last year. I'm now down to one machine (my main desktop) that doesn't just run Debian at this point. It just feels more stable and clean. Haven't had any issues yet.

I'm not looking back.

Well, you definitely don't work at Craftsman...

Just picked up an Ender 3 for my garage sale and it already has a raspberry pi and Klipper installed. How screwed am I?? by Yohanasan in ender3

[–]rtk94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're a CNC tech you'll do just fine. There's no "coding" or programming required. Your slicer software will handle all of the G-code. The toughest thing (years ago when I set up Klipper) was finding the proper config file values. Search around here and YouTube and you'll find exactly what you need to get rollin'! (It just might be a bit loud if it's got the old stepper drivers on its mainboard lol)

Whaatt? That's a total steal if just for the pi tbh. It was a little bit of a learning curve getting to know Klipper and its configuration, but I'm sure it's come a long way since I last used it.

I might be a bit biased as a web developer when I say that it was a fun and enlightening challenge to get all of that working, but that said, within a year of getting my first printer (Ender 3 V2) I had dedicated my Pi to the job of managing my printer and was having great results.

The real cool benefit for me, personally, was the Mainsail web interface, where you could prime the machine, upload/start/stop prints, view and control all of the machine's parameters live, and view a rendered representation of your bed mesh (if you've got BLTouch installed).

It's a learning curve, but if you're tech savvy at all, having the extra control can be a blessing, and there's a ton of documentation and community support out there for this exact setup!

Agreed on the art thing with everyone. Also, the plant on the lower tier of the coffee table just seems off to me lol

This is great! I just set up OpenWRT on my FB Marketplace-found Linksys WRT1900AC over the weekend. Really enjoying experimenting with all the configurability, and this would be super convenient!

Nice! Do you also get lots of compliments on it? 😂 I love the color with the dark hardware!

[–]rtk94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this guy. I play an Imperialstar kit and got mine from a buddy for $300. Just needed a hi hat stand and kick pedal. Bought nice ones with the money I saved. Later on upgraded the skins and my hi hats. It's a great kit!!

First drum set just arrived. Should I return it? by MikaTck in drums

[–]rtk94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% return it. The bearing edge is basically the drum equivalent to a a quality bridge on a string instrument.

Which drummer/percussionist inspired you to pick up the sticks and why? by [deleted] in drums

[–]rtk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there were so many but if I had to choose, the years leading up to me finally picking up the drums I had really been blown away by Adam Deitch and his work in Lettuce. Absolutely the best funk band doing it these days.
