Thanks for the input. Yeah, my research has been more linux specific. My feeling was that Intel would perform well under linux, but browsing around most of what I’ve been finding are posts from a year ago, and nothing more current. I’m assuming that the cards (and more specifically driver support) would only get better in time (assuming it’s not the next optane… haha).

Omg… I’m a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

OK… I guess I’m an idiot… Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

My first printer was a creality cr6 (kickstarter edition), and it’s been absolutely fantastic. I use my printer to solve problems mostly by designing my own parts for things. My printers really are tools to me. My cr6 doesn’t get used a lot, but I turn it on, run the auto level, and hit print. I’ve printed roughly 2000 hours with it, and I’ve had one jam, and zero failed prints (I’ve stopped a couple for various reasons, but I’ve never walked in to find a spaghetti mess). I upgraded to the community firmware, a dual drive extruder, and capricorn. Also, I print almost exclusively in PLA.

My second printer is a kingroon kp3s. I’ve printed very few parts with it. I got it as a toy, and plan to install klipper and just be able to print fast. I like the small for factor, direct drive, and linear rails. It’s a decent printer, but it’s not as “easy” as my cr6 (no ABL, and my bed seems to have a high spot right in the middle). The prints I’ve printed for testing are small, and the quality has been really good. I just haven’t had a lot of time to play with it and really dial it in.

All this said… I’d by a mk4 in a split second for my use case. Again, as a tool that I turn on every few months, prusa is a known workhorse. My only complaint with my cr6 is it’s slow… And the mk4 would take care of that.

Probably not a bad idea. I’m in the process of upgrading to 10gbe.i have all the nics, and a switch… Just waiting on cables. Once I have the cables, I’ll be getting my cluster together. Right now I just run my three nodes as separate instances.

Tumbleweed with KDE is my favorite flavor. I have all sorts of machines and vm’s running which use Debian, Ubuntu, Leap, Rocky, and Alma.

Tumbleweed is my daily driver. Ubuntu and Debian have been my primary vm distro, but Alma and Rocky I’ve been dabbling with. I use Leap on various apple machines I have as it seems to play nicer with the stupid Broadcom wireless adapters apple uses.

Random question… I dumped reddit and jumped on to Lemmy. But I keep seeing things about mastadon and kbin also. What the difference between all of them? Are they all federated and sharing the same servers?

Thank you to the dev’s as always!! I’ve updated one node so far, and it went flawlessly! Two to go! Keep up the great work, devs!

At that depth, I feel like creaking and cracking is probably common. However, I don’t think there would be any spraying as an indicator. Based on this tweet I saw earlier.

Incase anyone is wondering… Little clip of an implosion

RIP to those who parished. I think most can take solace knowing that if it turns out to be true that it was an implosion, it would have been instant, and the occupants likely felt nothing. .

Couldn’t agree more!! I’d absolutely love to have sync back!

I am ALL for this!! I was a sync pro user for years!! Miss that app now that I’m done with reddit.
