And now we have free threads so I can’t say at least you don’t have normal concurrency problems 🤣

Til. I thought switches would decrement ttl but that makes perfect sense.

ttl=255

Cool! The only advice I have for that is make sure it’s not plugged into the display connector 😹 I’ve wasted a good amount of time doing that myself.

I think the confusing part is that the rule is presented without the problem it solves.

The problem is when you take two vectors in 3d and want to find the vector orthogonal (perpendicular) to both, you have 2 valid choices.

The right hand rule is a way to pick the same one every time if you always label the two vectors you start with consistently i.e. make your thumb vector 1, pointer vector 2, then your middle finger points the direction of a perpendicular vector that matches the handedness of the hand you used.

This matters anywhere a vector cross product is used in physics, like calculating what direction an electron feels force when moving through a magnetic field. The physics doesn’t change, but you’ll have negatives in different places when comparing results calculated with a right handed convention (coordinate system) with a left handed convention.

When checking the handedness of your coordinate system, you point your thumb and pointer finger in the positive direction of any two dimensions then check if your middle finger points in the positive direction of the third dimension.

I’ve been using a pi3 b+ with octopi and so far it’s great even without obico, plus super easy to set up. I set up octopi to get my ender 3 away from high occupancy areas because the hot plastic VOCs were giving me paranoia :P I can recommend investing in a solid setup for any small computer used to drive 3d prints. My setup is a hack with no thermal management and a crap power supply and I’ve lost a couple of prints to unknown causes but I blame the raspberry pi (it’s almost always reporting under voltage events in the octoprint UI).

Has anyone here run self-hosted obico? I’m not keen on the cloud version but if the failure detection works in self hosted mode I’m definitely going to give it a try.

We’re not watching the movie, we’re listening to the download 🌚🌝

Imho no amount of paywall or legislation protects us from a dangerous model. It’s software that will eventually become widely available.

I enjoy red hat’s paid support articles that end by saying this is untested and may not work but it was added to the knowledge base 10 years ago

Don’t worry Java is alive and well on Android… For now 😹

We can already run arm seamlessly on x86 Linux, why not use Qemu-user + binfmt misc the other way around? I guess FEX must be much faster. Im also not super keen to run binaries that can’t be recompiled anyway so probably not the target audience.

Take that Java, everything is a portable binary now.

Lmao he did it again

😹 that’s great

Hmmm I do need a reason to learn rust… But a cross platform DAW feels like too big of a project for my level of disorganization 😹

Maybe I should try building ardour for android, it would be way easier to rebuild Ardour’s UI for mobile.

ddrescue is probably your best bet

dd is the simplest: dd if=/path/to/disk/device of=/path/to/backup/file but it may fail with a broken device. ddrescue is similar but handles io errors appropriately and can retry bad reads.

Lol wtf

That one DAW for electronic music… The logo had a hexagon or something… Caustic maybe?

ChromeOS does this well because it’s android, a walled garden that users aren’t allowed to break. You can buy it at Walmart, and it works well.

Other big “consumer” distro projects (Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, rhel, etc) are similar, especially if you’re installing stable releases on hardware that is supported.

The question for me is what do users want their OS to do? My guess is internet, office, print, scan, photos, games, updates, and get out of the way. Almost all big distros will give you that experience already, as long as you don’t expect to play Windows games or pick a specialized gaming distro.

Users who want to step outside using supported repos are back to googling for a solution when things are broken, and should see themselves as part of the tech-savvy group that need to fend for themselves.

Gotta go count my files again… oh yeah it’s PROJE~14.BAS
