The github repository has details as well as links to the exhaustive documentation.
It is my hope that at least another person […]

Testing out PLA-CF filament for a specific application where I'd need the strength rather than the flex, and did the Obligatory Calicat to test
Wow, the finish on this is absurdly good.

The whole "forkiverse" thing is interesting. It's just a Mastodon instance that was spun up for a specific community that all moved in at once, but presented as its own social network for them. Which it kind of is. Which all instances very technically kind of are.

I've released version 2.2.0 of Exosphere, my patch reporting program for remote UNIX systems.
It contains support for SSH connection pipelining, with associated tools to manage their state, as well as an exhaustive polish pass.
Multiple internal systems have been refactored to be much cleaner […]

I moved my 3D printer to the new bench where I did the super long that does resonant frequency cancelling stuff and generates a cacophony on fun noises for 20 minutes.
At least my test CaliCat is printing quietly. Look at him, he's up to mischief, once his ears come in.

Is there a long german compound word for that moment during a 4-5am incident while on call while everything is down, but it becomes strangely calm as you stare at nothing, and escalations happen?

I moved some bookshelves in my office after setting up the new workbench, maybe like, 20cm to the right.
This was enough to discover a whole ass, unused set of power outlets that was just there, unused, the whole time.

It's time for me to go for an errand after like, five delays, and now the cat is doing this whole circus in front of the door like, look at how cute I am, oh no don't go, look at all the fun we could be having, have you seen this toy? It is my favorite!

I'm getting better at Grafana. Turns out the issue is really not having nicely labeled metrics more than the inherent difficulty of promql/metricsql queries.
