I recently treated myself to a Creality K1C printer with the purpose of being able to print ABS bits for the Fury. It’s a fabulous printer, much more reliable than the Ender 3 Pro I have (and we won’t even mention the Vertex K8800 that has never worked properly) Anyway, the current mount I have is down on the transmission tunnel, and not easy to glance at. The last time I was in the car, it occured to me I could probably put my phone on the dash behind the steering wheel without blocking the view of anything important.
I’ve found a use for LLMs that I’m comfortable with. Several times I’ve found that I need to write a simple script to do something, but it’s always a grind to do. Why not get a computer to do the grind then? At home I have a NAS called luggage (named for the equivalent in Discworld, but so far the NAS has not sprouted feet) and I host git repositories there so I can easily swap between desktop and laptop without a 3rd party service.
I resurrected a game I half wrote for the Amiga 35 years ago, but I’m struggling with reading the joystick in fs-uae. If I tell fs-uae to emulate the joystick with the keyboard it works fine. If I play llamatron on the emulator, it works with my shiny new joystick If I try to use my joystick with my code that works in 1. it behaves as if it is not there.
Today at work in a Slack mental health channel someone posted this set of definitions to help discussions :- Neurodiversity The idea that people’s brains work in different ways, and that these differences are natural and normal. Neurotypical A term used to describe people whose brains function in the way that society expects. Neurodivergent A term used to describe people whose brains function differently from what is considered typical. Which is fine as far as it goes, but to me implies a linearity to ’neuro’.
I’m currently on holiday with this Debian laptop, a GL.iNet Puli XE300 and a villa full of random network SSIDs. The Puli establishes a WireGuard VPN connection back home using whatever network connection it can. This laptop also has a WireGuard config back home. What I didn’t want to happen was for the VPN to run on this laptop if I was connected to the Puli as I’d then be tunneling within a tunnel.
