the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.

Kinda ironic that you are discussing the nonsense of "how things should work" on a federated service where you control the intermediaries you work with and through, which is, IMO, the way things should work.

I've seen music books for recorders on ZLib - maybe there is stuff for ocarina as well.

I tried KMail and Organizer for a few weeks, but they kept losing connection with Gmail. My calendar would get out of sync, and they only way to fix it was to reset the connection and redo all the appointments.

I'm sure it was user error, since I couldn't figure it out after spending a couple hours on it, so I just dropped back to webmail and not leaving the mail tab open all day.

I like Antenna Pod for this - my BT connections let me use the Forward 30 Seconds feature when m driving or running. Since most ads are 30 seconds long, I can cruise through them easily.

Me too - I'll use Konsole if I need to have the results up all the time, but Yakuake is my main terminal.

My first reaction would be to acknowledge them as a fellow geek, but that's because most of the people who live near me would hurt themselves trying to open Notepad. Anyone who knows enough to start hacking my config files would be a welcome guest in my house.

Then I'd kill them with a hammer. :-)

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains.

The stains become a warning.

I do the same thing, using a home-grown Git sync solution to keep my vault synced between my desktop, laptop, and Android phone. Free, and easy to setup on the computers, needed some additional SW on the Android side to get the sync to work.

 

Let your Congress-critters know this is not the right thing to do.

My EndeavourOS (and the prior Manjaro distro) had all of them installed.

All. Of. Them.

I am so tired of having to scroll through hundreds of Noto fonts to get to the later ones, but I'm afraid, if I uninstall one, something will break on reboot.

I use these too, and Fira Code and Hack for coding.

Define "buggy". I've still got a problem where occasionally when I mouse over the dock, it redraws the icons, but I'm living with that until it hurts enough for me to figure out why.

I moved from a major metro area to middle of forking nowhere several years ago. I kept my library cards from the metro area, which still work for Libby ebook and magazine downloads, while the local rural library is tied into a regional system for the occasional dead tree book.

 

I recently had two print failures on my Ender 3 Neo. In both, it looked like the part came free from the heated build plate after about an hour or so of printing. Both had good starts in the first 15 minutes or so. I had a successful print finish two days ago.

It has been hot and humid here today, and my printer is in a non-AC shed not connected to the house.

I'm wondering if I should wait to kick off the next print until this evening when it should be cooler. Do I need to clean the build plate? I've not done that at all, other than make sure these isn't any filament left on the plate when it finishes.

UPDATE: It's apparent the problem isn't the heat, but the fact that I haven't cleaned the build plate since... well, ever. Adjusting the title to reflect that.

 

I took advantage of a recent offer to stock up on filament for my Ender 3 Neo. I purchased six 1Kg spools of Sunlu PLA+ Matte in grey and white colors. I loaded one of the white spools into the printer and did a small test print -- no problems, looks good, everything seemed fine.

So I decided to fire up a longer print, 8+ hours of an ocarina I downloaded from Printables and sliced using Cura Ultimaker. However, I have yet to have a successful print. Three different times, the filament has gotten bound up on the spool, so much so that the feed mechanism just gives up and the print stops. I've cancelled two of these prints after 2-3 hours when the filament got stuck on the spool.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix, short of pulling it all off the spool? I've never had to, but can you even respool the filament without causing more problems? I can't babysit the printer for 8-10 hours, and would like to kick off some overnight jobs again one day...

 

A story on a local organization reaching out to help the unhoused in my current area. The director of the organization is quoted using the term "unhoused", but the reporter (or their editor) decided to use the more charged term "homeless" in the by-line and the article.
