  • The ones I have have some speakers aimed at your ear to fill in that part, actually works really well. I can't stand the ear buds you physically insert into your ears, the rubber tipped ones, these have been good to replace my on ears for activity. Plus you can hear what's around you which is why my partner gifted me them.

  • Was my first experience with source control, a bunch of Gary's Mod mods were distributed that way, think I recall wiretool doing that, spacebuild was for sure, predated my work use by like 5ish years.

    I didn't hate it but definitely prefer git, but I'll take literally anything over not having it,

  • How do you manage tasks / to do lists at your job?

    Jump

  • For me, something to either research or look into later. Not a work task but either supports them it just pure interest.

    Yeah it's inspired somewhat by bullet journalling, I just found a version of it I could stick to.

  • Ultimately use what works for you, digital only doesn't for me, I end up using whatever project tool the project uses (often az devops or jira) for large tasks, but I've kept logbooks/journals since uni using a symbol system that makes sense to me, refine it over time especially in the last 8 years or so. A star is important, ? Bubble is investigation, o is a regular task/thought, arrows for sub/related thoughts. Also like to tag my commit messages with my ticket/item number, some systems auto link them but even without, nice to have that linkage for recollection.

    I'm not the best at indexing but everything is dated, memory is usually solid enough to recall the types of work I did in a period so been able to pull up past stuff pretty readily when need be. I have ADHD so found that externalised thought works well for me, I tend to spend a bit in the morning reviewing the day prior or time at the end of the day moving stuff I've not got to. Generally they're notes while working, just to capture frame of mind or future ideas. I could see using markdown for the same idea, but I've seen suggestions that paper notes are better for retention and anecdotally I've found that to be true.

    Has actually helped a few times for cyoa purposes, but that's a secondary benefit to me. My email inbox is horrendous (so much advertising and spam emails for people who don't work here anymore but were on my team so they're forwarded to me), even my BACN filters aren't perfect and I frankly don't bother reading everything. Should delete or purge more often but if it's important, I'll read it and make a ticket.

  • Considering that is nearly exactly some of the answers I've received during the technical part of interviews for jr data eng, you're probably not far off.

    Shit I've seen solutions done up that look like that, fighting the optimiser every step (amongst other things)

  • Funkwhale Wants to Filter Out Far-Right Music

    Jump

  • Oh for sure, there's exceptions to the rule, I've been fooled too. Peste Noir, Drudkh, Deathspell Omega, Burzum all end up on essentials lists, definitely contributes.

  • Funkwhale Wants to Filter Out Far-Right Music

    Jump

  • At least most nsbm sucks and/or have names like "ss wehrwulf division 1488" so it's usually really easy to avoid.

    Still, be great to have another tool to filter bands.

    Edit: looks like it's going to be based on musicbrainz metadata, checked Burzum because Vikernes is a Nazi and Peste Noir, neither of which have an nsbm tag, nor do Grand Belial's Key or an actual band called Wehrwolf, probably because of how niche black metal is.

    I've personally used this list as a place to start, not perfect but it's something. Metallum lyrical content helps as well.

  • Sprouts do well with Braising, this is roughly how I do them, based on a whim that turned out fantastic.

    1. Halve and clean your sprouts, salt and pepper them
    2. Sear cut side down in oil of your choice. Bacon is the classic but absolutely not required if you want to do it vegan, maybe use some smoked paprika to get the smokey flavour, add aromatics like garlic near the end, it burns easy.
    3. Deglaze with balsamic vinegar, add enough liquid to just barely cover the bottom of the pan, cover and simmer until happy.

    I know sprouts are far less bitter than they were when I was a kid, but I legit thought I disliked them. Borrowed a lot from braised cabbage recipes, just with a bit more aggressive browning. The sprouts hold up really well to longer cooking IMO (can't say the same to leeks, braised leeks are great, but not how I did them, turned into a textural nightmare), they're amazing hot or cold.

  • If you're on the fence about building or buying a 3d printer enclosure, please let me give you a push.

    Jump

  • Bit of a, bit of b, thermal protection on printers sets a minimum hotend and bed temperature, it's configurable but 0c is pretty common. Drop below that and the firmware will trip an emergency shutdown in klipper, some (mk3s) set off an alarm beeper when that happens.

    Higher ambient helps with chamber temps too depending on what you print. I let my printers heat soak for at least an hour before I print anyhow, the space heater gives some stability in ambient temps.

    Also done prints where I've just blasted the hotend and build plate with a heatgun to get above the min temps to be able to get a heat soak going. Vorons have a decently powerful bed heater (~600w if I recall), my mk3s isn't nearly as powerful but still capable of sustaining itself (would definitely benefit from insulation)

  • I don't live in the coldest place but it'll hit -20s c at the coldest in the winter with -10 +/-5, summer is 30 +/-5. My garage isn't climate controlled but not the largest, a space heater is enough to bring ambient up enough to be comfortable, certainly enough where the printer firmware doesn't kick out on low temperatures.

    I have enclosures so it helps some, mk3s doesn't get super warm as it's currently setup but I do regularly successfully print abs on it, petg and pla aren't an issue at all, voron gets substantially warmer. Summer, enclosures need to be open to print pla depending how hot it is. Even with all that, I'd recommend it, I do it primarily for air quality reasons, I've printed abs indoors without an enclosure in the same room exactly once a long time ago, 0/10 don't recommend.

  • What is your ideal ambient humidity?

    Jump

  • Stuff that's in use I try to keep inside the enclosure, no humidity control in my garage so at the whims of humid continental climate, gets nasty in the summer. I keep things vac sealed with silca gel for long periods and print from dry boxes or enclosure mounts to take advantage of the lower humidity while printing.

    Working on a powered dry box using solid state dehumidifiers like used in this, hope that'll help with humidity issues.

    Some filament isn't super sensitive, my experience pa6>petg>abs=pla.

  • Using Microwave Heating To Locally Anneal CNT-Coated FDM Prints

    Jump

  • Probably, it's not pleasant stuff afaik, was looking at it earlier and it seemed like you could probably source it domestically fairly easily too, didn't seem like you'd need special licenses or anything. Not stuff I want to keep around though, not that a lot of solvents that work on thermoplastics are nice to be around for one reason or another.

  • How Hard did I screw myself by """Cleaning""" the Nozzle at 300°C... Multiple Times...?

    Jump

  • Tbh not sure, I don't have one to try with, baked on petg reminded me of enamel coatings. Solvents do work, just most of the ones I'm aware of for petg aren't pleasant, flammable and toxic stuff.

  • How Hard did I screw myself by """Cleaning""" the Nozzle at 300°C... Multiple Times...?

    Jump

  • Echo others, nozzles are consumables, keep some on hand.

    It's not unusual for PETG to ooze a little after a print in my experience, but it's been my experience that a quick brushing with a nylon or brass brush is enough, often I just knock off the bit that oozes out, haven't had issues with offset doing that.

    Baked on PETG is awful, I've scrapped a v6 block that blobbed itself (my fault, probably loosened it accidentally after a nozzle change, I only use hotends that don't rotate now). Some solvents do work, but most of the stuff that dissolves petg is nasty, I don't recommend them.

    You could try some cleaning filament, personally found it fairly effective at clearing partial clogs, good stuff to have on hand anyhow.

  • What are some things a conspiracy theorist has told you?

    Jump

  • Some of these have been around for a while or remind me of some, my crunchy new-age grandparents were hardcore into the NWO order stuff. Some others I recall

    • NWO stuff: North America would become the North American Union and forcefully adopt the Amero as currency. This was the pretext for the eventual merging of the EU and NAU to start total domination, pretty sure the UN was involved in this one.
    • Stargates are real and the the US has bases on the moon as well as Mars
    • Some water alignment thing, that you can put a logogram or something under a glass of water and that changes its properties to be better (‽??)
    • The Philadelphia Experiment
    • Roswell is responsible for technological leaps, and the powers that be have been slowly releasing things to evade suspicion
    • Mayan calendar stuff
    • Hardcore distrust of medical doctors and hospitals
    • Fluoride - mind control, it's a neuro toxin!

    There's others but those stick out.
