A fantastically in-depth look at some visage remixes. I love this blog http://www.versioncrazy.com/2026/04/07/visage-fade-to-grey-1988-cd-single/ #music

I attempted to download all items in an archive.org collection via torrents (&gt;255 items, &gt;255 torrents). Theory being: potential to get some data from peers, lighten the load on IA; built-in checksumming and repair. I&#39;ve come to the conclusion that sadly this doesn&#39;t work very well. My torrent daemon struggles with so many; lots are permanently at 99%; IA torrents don&#39;t include any metadata identifying original vs derived files

Is there any way to tell Prusa Connect that your printer nozzle size has changed?#3dprinting

Prusa Mini+ re-assembled with a new heatblock (and nozzle); first layer calibration looks ok, mostly; Prusa Connect agrees on the nozzle size; all that remains is a test print and hopefully we’re back in business #3dprinting

I finally settled on some new ice skates and placed an order. Now I’m impatient for them to arrive! And I’m not sure they’ll fit, it might take a few iterations

New blog post: Digital gardening https://jmtd.net/log/gardening/ Where I ponder the notion of a digital garden, versus a blog, and point at some recent changes I&#39;ve made to my homepage which are not blog posts. #meta #web

since input shaping is (I think) encoded in the GCODE, I could print an old sliced GCODE from before and see what happens. I'll try to find one.

That&#39;s interesting. I can&#39;t read some files on a UNIX timeshare by virtue of being in a group. 0604/-rw----r--. Rare to find group membership lowering access

Prusa appear to no longer distribute printer profiles *without input shaping* for those printers that support it. My Mini has not reliably printed since input shaping was added. Does anyone know how easy it is to get ahold of the old profiles?
