I wonder if there are any anime artists on here?

🚗 Bucees run complete. Snacks in da house!

Does anyone have a multi-color filament (PLA I suppose) they’re particular fond of for figures, decor and such?

A female cardinal in our backyard is intent on fighting her competition every day this week. Unfortunately the competition is invincible.

More signs of spring! The Texas redbuds are lovely when they burst into bloom but sadly only last a week or so. The rest of the year they’re scrawny.

Posted later due to DDOS

Today I decided to cannibalize the Sovol printer I bought last year. Such a piece of crap. Hopefully I can make use of some of the parts.

🌩️ Ah with March comes spring and with spring comes tornado sirens (twice tonight, so far)

💦 Things were quiet on the 3D printing front. Suddenly I’ve got a backlog of prints for the family and me.

@jmj I remember when I first saw mention of the status.log app. I wondered if it was something we really needed. The answer has been a big fat yes. It delivers such delightful content in most satisfying way. Thank you for pursuing it.

Spring has sprung

TIL that typing Command + period on the iPad keyboard sends an ESC (since the magic keyboards lacks a physical key).⌨️

I think I’ll give DirecTV streaming a try this weekend. YouTubeTV is such a mess and the PQ is often crap.📺

🍺 Did a bit better getting back into my exercise routine. But more to do. Meanwhile having a Shiner.

I have Home Assistant running on a Pi4. Looks interesting but there are wrinkles to iron out. It looks like it might be useful. The main question in my mind is once set up will it work without fiddling or will it be a needy child.

🏃‍♂️ Need to back into my exercise routine post ear infection.

My Mastodon timeline is looking and feeling way too much like the former home of the refugees. Time to put more effort into making use of Mastodon’s control capabilities.

🙃 A quiet Sunday morning. Ahhhh

🖱️ What’s up? I’ll try to finish moving RPi workloads and then work on learning Onshape

🤼‍♂️ I’m about half done moving workloads from various Raspberry Pi’s to my new mini PC

Gave up on VNC for my headless mini PC running Linux Mint. Installed NoMachine instead which instantly worked.

In other news our college freshman daughter apparently killed her laptop. Tis a shame because I really liked it.

Frustrating afternoon installing Linux Mint on this headless BMAX. Have yet to find the magic needed to have remote VNC run at the device’s full resolution.

Also none of my Logitech BT keyboards will stay connected. Disconnect and reconnect every second. Giving up for today.

👻 Busy getting things done. Unfortunately those things are not what is on my to-do list for today. Avoidance.
