The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has good data and a great data sharing policy:

We have a free and open data policy, which means that anyone may use our material freely and for benefit of society.

Fun fact: They are the default weather data provider for Home Assistant!

“I wrote an email to Google Gryzzl to say, ‘you have access to my computer, is that right?’”, he added.

Later that day

And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…

Apparently one of the people on the Rebble board is working on the project:

Some people are working on this for my new company, Core Devices, including Joshua (also one of the Rebble board members), Gerard (firmware) and crc32 (Cobble). We’ll be joined soon by Steve Penna, my OG Pebble colleague who helped build the Pebble Android app.

Heiko, the brilliant mind behind much of Pebble’s aesthetic and engineering beauty, is helping as technical advisor, along with my first colleague at Pebble, Andrew Witte and another key Pebble design leader, Mark Solomon. Others are helping via the Rebble community Discord.

Two of those are Commonwealth countries. Maybe a common defense mechanism could be agreed. Instead of Iron Dome, it could be called King Dome.

Oh man, you were lucky. We only had “Biota of Freshwater Ecosystems - Identification Manual Number 9 - Crayfishes (astacidea) of north and Middle America”.

Mom kept saying that if I got good grades, she’d get me the “Freshwater Crayfish 12: Proceedings of the Twelfth Symposium of the International Association of Astacology held on August 3 to 9 in Augsburg, Germany” cartridge, but Algebra was hard that year…

In this, the worst timeline, I am glad that there is no need to add “allegedly”, as Zuck is clearly an alpha degen.

California already has a state fund for exactly this purpose, called the FAIR plan.

Institutional investors like pension funds selling a stock is kind of a big deal though, as a) there are a lot of them for a stock as “big” as Tesla, b) they are far less risk averse then individual investors, and c) the managers of these funds tend to pay attention to what other funds with similar holdings are doing. If one this big sells, others will wonder if they should get out now as well.

This could, in theory, be the start of a mass selloff of Tesla stock by institutional investors wanting to get out before the bubble bursts and they stop seeing gains from Tesla stock.

This is a good point, the client is an important consideration. My setup is the similar, with Jellyfin running in docker in an Ubuntu Proxmox VM (host system CPU is an i7-6700t), but the client is an Nvidia Shield Pro, which so far has been able to handle everything Jellyfin throws at it, with the exception of AV1.

How about a dreamatorium in a linen closet?

It is my time to shine! I’ve had 3 3D printers thus far: I started with an Ender 3 Pro that I modified extensively, converting it to direct drive, 3D printed belt tensioners, cable chains, fan ducts, upgraded board with quiet drivers, and a Raspberry Pi running Klipper. All of the modifications led to a decrease in quality over time.

I also had a Qidi for a while, and it was…fine. Not great, but serviceable. Not super repairable or upgradeable, and I had to use their version of the Cura slicer, which they did not do a good job of keeping up to date.

When the Ender 3 Pro started to become unreliable, I switched to the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro, which is basically the final form of what I was trying to turn the Ender into, plus a bit extra. From the factory, it has direct drive, linear rails, runs klipper, has automatic bed leveling, filament runout detection, etc. It does NOT have wifi, but does have an ethernet port, which I prefer.

Using Fluidd is much better than Octoprint, and I’ve finally switched away from using Cura and am a convert to OrcaSlicer, which is EXCELLENT. It can send prints directly to the printer as well. It’s a great combination that I’m having a lot of fun with.

Full disclosure: I recently discovered that the version of Klipper this printer uses is out of date (2022) and does not fully comply with the klipper license, which I am NOT a fan of, but there is a very well documented way to “upgrade” to a “de-Elegood”, fully operational Klipper.

Preventing cam-out with a Phillips screw is like learning the ways of the Force. It takes patience and skill, something the Empire’s rigid Torx would never understand.

Disk space is definitely an issue, but I think I’ve got my single user instance dialed in on a 2 vcpu/4gb/30GB RAM Hetzner VPS; a cron job that runs at the first of every month deletes pictrs files over 30 days old. Currently at 74%.

A lot of bean memes died the day that job first ran.

Heat, then suction?

On a related note, I solved the battery issue with my wall mounted Fire tablet (for an HA dashboard) by connecting the power supply to a smart plug and setting up an automation to only give it the juice for about 3 hours per day, spread throughout the day
