I’m just this guy, y’know?

In your interwebs, janitorializing things up and keeping the porns online.

  • Seeing most of the negative comments here noting bare metal etc.

    Moving to the AIO build solved literally every issue I had with the single exception being the colabora office stuff.

    For the image stuff, basic file, download etc… been great.

    The Android app gives me grief, but I suspect that’s my janky Samsung phone killing it’s permissions.

    Considering they only officially support the AIO, it’s worth trying that out before passing full judgement. It has flaws, for sure, but it’s immensely complex and the AIO nullifies many of the variables that they can’t otherwise account for easily.



  • Nice!

    Watch out for CPU and RAM gobbling… Jitsi’s GC process can make your video streams go sideways fast if you bottleneck it too much.

    And even if things seem smooth, make sure you have SWAP space enabled somewhere! the JVM will murder your system before you know anything is wrong, and SWAP allows the kernel to compensate long enough to at least cry for help.


  • Elegoo petg and PLA have become my go-to over the past 2 years. Rapid vs pro tend to affect me more with how brittle the end product is than printing speed. I’m using a K2 Plus, but also printed on Anker M5C.

    Fun detail: you can order 10kg packs for a good discount vs other shops if you hit their site directly.

    My only gripe is they don’t have variety packs of their fancier stuff. Some of their silk is gorgeous.

    I usually have gotten about 35-40% rh on my should out of the bag. I still get good quality at that level, but would warn to actively dry a bit if you are in a more humid area for sure.





  • Fun fact! The Laser in the burner didn’t actually burn from thermal effects, and instead caused a chemical reaction using specific wavelengths of light to activate a substrate called pthalocyanine.

    This is part of why you could burn “faster”, although typically you had a higher quality burn at slower speeds as the change from one color to another via the chemical effects was more complete. This allowed weaker reading lenses to better perceive the new colors easier, and greatly increased compatibility.

    I am very, very old.
