Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

I was going to post this but Lemmy told me your post was already here… nice.

I’ve been using Linux everyday for around 25 years and I’d never heard of the column command somehow!

Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.

Whoopsie!

I’d been looking for the nudge to cancel and the last round of ads did it for me.

Other recommendations are great but you could also try some type of adhesive AFTER you’ve eliminated any other potential problem sources.

It does look a over extruded. Have you calibrated your esteps? I always need to do that when changing filament types and sometimes even between rolls of the same filament type (especially bargain bin PLA from amzn)

My ender 3 with a textured glass bed sticks perfect with PLA and nothing else. For some reason PLA+ tends to lift. Glue stick helped with PLA+ but I hated dealing with because it REALLY stuck so I switched to masking tape. That does the job and is easier to remove. On my CR-10 with plain glass bed (no texture) I use hairspray… Mostly because that’s what the guy I bought it from recommended and, to be honest, it does work amazingly. Nothing sticks to that glass plate bed without an adhesive but it pops right off once the bed cools down.

That said, I don’t recommend “extra” adhesives unless you’re fully sure you’ve solved any other potential problems. They can be a help/bandaid but if the root cause is something else then you’re just masking it.

Some materials and beds need some help, some don’t. I primarily use PLA and PLA+ with the occasional PETG and TPU.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. I believe in you.

We got a phishing campaign at work awhile back with an attachment named “OktaAccountStealer.pdf”

… I was impressed. What I really want to know is how many people opened it anyway.

Is the eye murdering deck OLED PWM flicker problem in this video?

I’m on mobile with very little bandwidth so I can’t check.

Playing the long troll game by burying your nudes for some poor sap in the future to find.

I respect that.

I’ve noticed over the last few years that you can always find new releases but “old” material is increasingly unavailable. .

Want the new super hero movie that released last week? Easy.

Want 1984’s “The Last Starfighter”? Good luck…

Look it up if you haven’t read it, I never miss an opportunity to post it but it looks like the original demonbaby host is now offline. There are mirrors though.

This has been commonplace for decades. The government agencies went big into it after 9/11. Funny thing was that I found out about it from a competing company telling me about how the company I worked for at the time was doing it.

I should note that I’m firmly against it, just that it’s not new.

It’s illegal to spy on your own citizens in the US, but completely okay if someone else does the spying and you buy the data.

Note: limit of 500 “sorry” cards and 75 kisses for the entire class action suit. You may also opt to receive a free “DNA protection plan” from the same company that fucked everything up in the first place or 75 cents discount on future products (your code expires in 45 minutes).

Hah, yeah, measuring the power usage of everything you need to power and doing the math is part of the fun.

I’m in the same boat - primarily a backup for the fridge/freezer in case of power outage. They’ve also come in handy for running AC power tools when you’re nowhere near an outlet. It made life a lot easier when doing work on a remote cabin that isn’t grid tied… Really makes you appreciate how nice it is to have electricity as a labor and time saver.

I’m a fan as well. I got into the Bluetti brand ecosystem and I’m pretty happy with it. Ecoflow is nice too. I wanted it to be self contained and (somewhat) portable which they do well… Way better than I could DIY without spending a lot more.

I think all reputable brands have switched to LiFePO4 batteries but if anyone is just getting into it - that’s the hotness. They last much longer than lion and are less 'splodey.

Pay close attention to the input limits. You can have 2kW of solar but it doesn’t matter if your device can only take 200W for charging :)

Amazing, isn’t it?

Occasionally it’s caused some problems with the tracking crapware that the spouse’s company uses in their web platform. Since they work from home and it breaks the main site they use for work, I’ve had to add some exceptions.

I’ve also seen it occasionally cause problems on websites that rely on tracking garbage and outright fail when they’re blocked. Usually I just never go there again but in a few cases it’s been something I was forced to use so I just disable the pihole for five minutes, do what I need, and hope to never visit that site again.

I think there have been maybe eight of these occurrences in the past five years so it’s not a continual annoyance. No big deal and definitely worth it.

That is an excellent idea on time management.

Yes - I’m planning to walk them through a real install to a VM and have them follow along so they have a local instance that they can play with on their (win or mac) system. It requires me to spend a little extra time for setting up VirtualBox, but I think it’s worth it since they can then play along and experiment as we discuss each topic. I know that’s how I learn best - you can tell me something multiple times but it’s only when I truly do it that it’ll stick in my memory forever.

Covering the intro, history, etc would be perfect topics to go over while the install runs.

EDIT : I should point out that I’m going to distribute thumb drives to the students that will contain VirtualBox (win+mac) installers, a Linux ISO that we’ll use (probably Ubuntu), as well as that thumb drive being a live Linux bootable drive in case they ever want to plug & boot without using a VM. This will hopefully cut down on wasted class time for “now everybody go download this 4GB ISO” - they’ll already have it available and all in the same drive/directory/etc for every student. From past teaching experience, there’s always at least one that doesn’t come prepared with downloads and such no matter how much I harp on it… that and the ever present “I saved it somewhere and now I can’t find it” 😆

Great point. I think I have a “flavors” note in my margins somewhere but I’ll ensure it makes it into the introduction.
