The image link is not broken as such, but I seem to be hitting this bug. I'll look into updating and/or backporting that tonight.

Yeah, Prusa Mini and (back then) mk3s with PrusaSlicer

Few years ago I had similar issues with silk PLA - until I accidentally sliced it with a prusa PETG profile. Came out absolutely perfect. Since then I just treat silk PLA like prusa PETG.

Note that those are deepseek, not chatgpt. I've largely given up on chatgpt a long time ago as it has severe limitations on what you can ask it without fighting its filters. You can make it go on hallucinated rants just as easily - I just nowadays do that on locally hostable models.

Only way I managed was chrome in porn mode via VPN.

Went digging a bit after that and found a statement from them that anonymous download issues are intentional to drive people to make accounts.

Can we ban makerworld links here? They have a low limit on downloads without registering an account, a very shitty default license many use without the reading and generally don't hide they want to run that thing as a walled garden.

zypper remove --clean-deps removes automatically installed requirements when removing a package. zypper packages --unneeded will show a list of packages no longer required.

Setting solver.onlyRequires to true in /etc/zypp.conf does not install recommends - it's way less of a problem than on Debian/Ubuntu due to not recommending half the world, but still useful. Setting solver.cleandepsOnRemove will automatically remove automatically installed deps when removing a package (i.e., like always specifying --clean-deps).

While I fully support that comment, their cloud printing thing also is annoying - I'd rather they spend effort on proper lan printing.

On my mini I'm still using octoprint (even though I've added a network card), on my mk4s I'm using the local connection for uploading - but I got the GPIO board, so once I have time that should enable me to get better monitoring working again. But it all still feels kludgy - something like enabling octoprint control via network instead of USB for the mk4 would be way nicer.

I did a bunch of vacuum adapters last year and ended up just going for some stiff TPU. Solves the cracking at layer lines issue and compensates for unevenness of the vacuum.

Which reputation? I used to work for a dell heavy hoster with thousands of dell servers almost 20 years ago - and apart from them being cheap I have nothing good to say about them. Worst is the remote management - several generations of DRACs all broken in new and interesting ways, and support is useless. You just get better discounts at that scale, which for a business owner drowns out the complaints of the tech people.

Notebooks also have similar bugs over generations - and nowadays they also feel even cheaper than they used to be.

Displays were somewhat acceptable - given you're fine to work around the DPMS bugs they have in pretty much every display for the last two decades - but their display selection page is unusable and lacks most interesting details. So it is better to just get something you can check out in a shop.

I expect the responsible person listed for some specific application to react to an email about it to fix it, and not send me police. Why would I want to jump through hoops for doing them a favour?

Same applies also if there's no easy way to send a mail to someone responsible.

 
 

I recently had to add a Mac to my zoo of hardware I'm trying to do productive work on - which prompted me to clean up and document my environment variable importer, which had grown to platform specific functions with lots of code duplication.

On both Windows and MacOS I have properly configured shells with all relevant variables - so it makes sense to query them, instead of duplicating the logic how they create that configuration into Emacs.

On Linux that'd have worked too, but I also have the relevant variables in the systemd user session, and querying that is a tiny bit faster than launching a shell.

 

I'm currently in the process of taking over as maintainer for the emacs-keybindings addon for Firefox.

I've just published the first update in years, with changes including:

  • tested on Windows and Linux now
  • some functionality is now configurable: debug logging, custom new tab page, experimental features, modifier-less high level bindings
  • all keybindings are listed in the options settings page
  • M- keybindings are now also reachable via ESC
  • M-< and M-> was added for scrolling to top/bottom
  • introducing prefix key, currently only used for opening/closing of windows (C-u C-x C-f or C-u C-k)
  • search is introduced as experimental feature - currently it just highlights all matches
  • the extension now registers as browser action in preparation for additional features

Unfortunately a lot of things that used to work with the old XUL plugins few years back just don't work with the new APIs - and Firefox developers have been sitting on relevant bugs for 8 years or more without anything happening now - so this is probably close to the best we can have for now. In combination with setting editing keybindings either via Gnome settings or AHK it makes browsing almost bearable again.
