  • Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

    Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

    I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)

    Well that is more a report than a study, but that is pretty interesting, saving that.

    Though 3500 and 3200 seem absolutely fucking wild to me. I am a 184cm, 96kg (not fit anymore but used to work out 6 days a week for 2-3hrs) and if I eat more than 2200 per day not-active (I got used to weighing every gram of food during cuts) I gain weight. I find it hard to believe that 3500 and 3200 was average then as there were significantly less obese people then.


  • I like a lot of variety, so I switch every few games depending on team build.

    Bugs:

    • Breaker + laser pistol + thermite (breaker max ergo with duckbill and drum mag)
    • flame + hover pack + autocannon turret + 500kg for tank busting (or go recoilless+ gas strike if no flame armor)
    • sentinel + hover pack + mortar + cluster bomb for anti-small units
    • airburst + 500kg + orbital napalm + rocket/auto sentry for all-around

    Experimenting with the epoch and laser turret now, but not impressed with the laser turret and the epoch can explode butts, but it takes 3-4 hits for bile titans and the 45° random direction makes it inconsistant

    Bots:

    • Deadeye + laser pistol + thermite
    • heavy SMG/countersniper + grenade pistol + stun grenade is also good
    • commando + jump pack + autocannon turret + 120mm for fast roaming and outpost destruction
    • heavy machine gun + shield pack + 500kg + gatling for solo or bad teamwork runs. It can kill anything alone except factory striders

    Squids (I don’t like them as much)

    • deadeye/scorcher + laser pistol + dynamite
    • commando + jump pack + 120mm + napalm strike

    As you can probably tell, I am a light armor player lol





  • I have written a more detailed comment on it before, but 2d printing is much more technically complicated than 3D printing, and the resolution is literally an order of magnitude difference (0.2mm vs <42um) and the printer has to print full color on any surface with microdots in a very very short time. People would throw the printer out if it took 10 minutes for a single paper like a large first layer takes in 3D printing.




  • I wonder if there were bad hidden things in the bill again? (I know most of the US congress is bought by AIPAC)

    Like in the US, a bill often gets to congress that is named something like “the children are the future protections act” that provides free meals and better education for kids or something universally good, and then clause 7.1.2.5 says “all people of color are stripped of all rights and Lockheed Martin gets an extra 200 billion per year and a on-demand hit squad provided by the CIA and is immune to prosecution, and the police have the right to spy on every citizen and steal their wallets without a warrant.”

    Because the majority of members of US congress have admitted to not actually reading the bills.



  • 1983 Lenco LRP 5450 DD record player &

    1998 Yamaha RX-496 RDS stereo receiver

    My father-in-law got them for us 2nd hand for a joint present. Quite a decent system!

    Not a real audiophile, but it works well and we enjoy it.

    I also made a Google Home kind of thing out of it using an ESP32S3 that uses ESPHome, Home Assistant, and Music Assistant to make it a Spotify connect node to play Spotify through it, control it with an IR blaster, and use Voice Assistant with it if I am not too far (it has a single mema mic)





  • The few things I don’t like about flatpaks (which become a problem on atomic distros that use almost all flatpak by design):

    • Some types of embedded development is essentially impossible with flatpaks. Try getting the J-link software connected with nrftools and then everything linked to VScodium/codeoss

    • Digital signing simply doesn’t work, won’t work for the foreseeable future, and is not planned to get working,

    • Flatpaks sometimes have bugs for no reasons when their package-manager counterparts don’t (e.g. in KiCAD 8.0, the upper 20% or so of dialog boxes were unclickable with the mouse, but I could select and modify them with the keyboard, only the flatpak version)

    • The status on whether it is still being actively developed or not (at least I hear a fair amount of drama surrounding it)

    But besides those small things, it seem great to me.


  • Absolutely can’t wait for new battery tech for grid storage too! Sand batteries that can use otherwise-unusable sand, sodium-Ion batteries (or mainly inverters that can handle the expanded voltage range compared to Lithium-based), expansion of pumped water batteries where it works. This is about to be THE time for government-funded alternative batteries across the world. Energy would get so plentiful that it wouldn’t even be profitable for fossil fuels anymore. That is the dream. Of course there is a 99% chance that every single government in the world drops the ball completely.
