I don’t think I’ve found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.

But I’ll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one ‘Did not have permissions message’.

Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a ‘-d’ flag or a ‘-h’ flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.

It’s like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What’s the big stuff in this dir.

Depends on the machine and… maybe other things. I used to think that, too, but on my current machines I can step backwards just fine.

It’s probably a much more intensive operation requiring processing a lot of the file from before and throwing away current buffers or something.

It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.

Device, maybe. What happens to the games bought from a DRM monopoly?

That’s what good link aggregators are for.

Then you can give it to someone else to read or sell it and even more people can read it.

My guesses are clog (99% of all extrusion problems), heater problem, wrong filament diameter or broken extruder (check for slipping and cracked arm, spring etc).

I don’t know if twerking helps, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

I’ll mention organic maps and rimusic.

Tdk makes chips, really?

Delicious cancer

Could it cure their multiposting?

The Ender probably wasn’t. It was a lot of effort, and mostly not the interesting kind, and fairly little reward. Although when it worked, it was really good. In the end. Sometimes. And it’s way too big.

The Kingroon, very much yes. It’s cheap, kind of trashy, but compact. Just prints stuff. Parts detach great. Works just about every time. Quiet out of the box. Just kind of annoying to preheat at the start and end of the session to load and unload filament. Very annoying touchscreen. But those are minor things and I’m not tempted to fix it or upgrade anything. I have actual projects to do. Too many actual projects to do.

Oh, and why? Custom parts that are impossible to buy and a lot of work or impossible to machine or fabricate otherwise. Saves a trip to the local library or hackerspace or wherever things could be printed.

No. If they want to call it sue doo or sue dough, they should have written that. :)

I also pronounce Linus Linus.

I say zsh, s s h, and sudo. But I’m Finnish and we’re literal folk language wise.

You can pick any. I guess the way is to just pick one based on it’s description or users or package availability or size and then learn to use it. And or try another one when you figure out if it has problems. Sick with the one you like the most. Or write your own.

Yes. It’s a shame, but these things seem to happen. I’m just sorry for Al.

The classic term might be eccentric. But I don’t know if you have to be rich for that.

I discovered dust. That’s a new favourite tool. https://github.com/bootandy/dust/

I should be trying to talk to mqtt but haven’t got to the rust side of that yet.

Nothing to see phone.

It could work better because a web browser is the most bloated useless bug ridden insecure creeping horror ever invented.

Although I suspect this is just a web browser with some extra chrome.

Mostly only the charger cares. A tool often only has power contacts. Something “smarter” like a camera with battery life gauges in the menu etc will most likely want to talk to the battery.

But if the company thinks the extra cost in manufacture is worth it, they’ll probably choose evil.
