WFH

Oh yeah because spending half a day manually downloading and installing a zillion drivers and their bloat and rebooting between each install is peak ootb-functionality.

Meanwhile I was in CP2077 literally 5 minutes after booting a fresh install of Bazzite. On the exact same computer.

Cringe.

Maybe it’s popular with German monolinguals and it’s cheaper than Swiss or Austrian ski resorts? I dunno, I’m pulling that out of my ass.

Because most of the time, the complicated stuff is just a few simple commands chained together.

99.9% of the time, git is easy. You don’t need to do everything on the command line, especially when dealing with diffs and merge conflicts. But in my experience most devs who flat out refuse to use it don’t understand most of the basic concepts because it’s all hidden behind a layer of abstraction. That’s why when I teach the basic concepts, it’s command line only. At least you know what that big Squash&Merge button does and why you should never click on the big Rebase button on main/master.

A multi-billion dollars marketing budget, anti-competitive practices and confidential agreements, blacklisting hardware vendors if they dare proposing an alternative, and of course a legal department the size of a small city to sue all competition out of existence.

Oh wait that’s Microsoft/Google/Apple/Meta/Amazon.

Fucking backend developers who can’t even git commit without their fucking IDE handling it for them.

Thanks !

Bro just crash the CI because the linter found an extra space bro trust me bro this is important. Also Unit tests are optional.

The SV08 is a decent printer if you’re willing to tinker and regularly recalibrate the shit out of it. Sometimes it’s absolutely perfect after THE right calibration move. Sometimes it’s absolute shit and nothing prints properly and/or sticks to the bed and you need to recalibrate it. I’ve found that heat soaking it for at least 1/2h before each print and recalibrating the probe as soon as printing is slightly less than perfect helps a lot.

My takeways:

• Taco bed is a minor issue if you can properly probe.
• It’s FAST and the print volume is excellent
• Everything is automated and/or software controlled so fixing issues can be quite a nightmare if you’re used to all-manual troubleshooting (I come from an Ender3)
• Build quality is OK. It probably needs some costly upgrades to get to Voron-level (Stealthburner hotend, thick aluminium plate, enclosure etc.)
• The DIY upgrades ecosystem seems very active.
• Klipper+Mainsail are amazing

Get a Sovol if you’re a tinkerer and you want to maximize speed and build volume per currency unit.

Get a Prusa if you want a high quality printer out of the box.

I miss Craig Ferguson so much!

Funnily enough, I feel the opposite. Manjaro never worked reliably for me, but Fedora works great for my use case. Is it perfect? Fuck if I know. But it’s a good, no-nonsense, extremely low maintenance, super reliable distro that I use daily with zero issues.

Also, they pioneered the atomic distro concept that has amazing use cases, and some fantastic projects are based on this technology. My gaming PC runs Bazzite for a zero-maintenance, immediate gaming experience. My dads laptop runs Bluefin and he hasn’t broken it yet, and he’s capable of breaking every single OS.

Il in this picture. This is my “let’s do one week worth of code in a single session” mode.

Hey Dead Snow is amazing! Norwegians having fun with American teen-slashers tropes and nazi zombies, what not to love?
