Yes. It was part of the deal your cat decided not to show you when you signed up for life with a cat.

Robot vacuum cleaners are a God sent. Runs every day.

While i find resin prints super cool, the toxicity of the resin and solvents will never not make me a feel uneasy about it. Working with resin is just messy and can be quite unhealthy.

Any way you can reorient the part to have the text face the build plate instead of the top layer? I always have much better succes having the text face down because it gets smooth (or textured) when squished to the build plate.

I think we are getting too off topic here so maybe make a seperate post in here asking how to tinker with selfhosting, dns, tinkering etc and you can have multiple people’s inputs.

It can be a good idea to mentatlly seperate your router needs with you 2.5G speeds and WiFi needs, they dont have to live on the same device. For you private lan you need a router so you can hide and control your devices behind NAT and firewall. For that I’d just recommended one of the small hap or hax devices that suits your needs for routing, and/or wifi. If you want to be fancy the RB9005U could maybe work with your switching need as well.

You don’t need Vlan. I believe it is not what you think it is. Vlan is if you want to segregated your own lan int to different independent lans with various firewall rules.

All you need for your dorm is NAT. But for the love of god make sure that you dont connect your lan with the dorm lan or your DHCP server will start handing out IP’s to everyone else in your dorm and it will crash the dorm router. The ethernet jack in the wall of your dorm (I assume that’s how it works for you) needs to go to the WAN port of the router. But bare in mind on mikrotik you can configure the WAN port to be any physical port you want, but with default config it is port 1.

I have done this before as well when living in a dorm where wifi was shit so i did my own little setup in my room so I could stream to Crome cast etc on my own trusted lan. Get a small router with support for wire Guard vpn (i love mikrotik for this) and you have an easy way to tunnel out for all your devices.

I’ve only ever had the opposite issue with the nozzle being too far away from the bed due to the bed leveling using a dirty nozzle because the nozzle “cleaning” rutine uses a way too cold nozzle temperature so the plastic is not soft enough to be pushed away and the filament is not retracted so it also oozes because it has been heated for too long. Imo the printer should purge, then retract then clean and then bed level.

well, it is better than an error with no description, filename, line of code nor exit code or linke to a log file… I have had way too many of those in those pesky “no code” environments and applications that is supposed to make programming equipment easy.

Amen !! I’ve had too many managers with multiple PhDs and they knew nothing at all about basic stuff that’s still well within the field of their study but not directly on the project they did.

Through work experience ive come to understand that most normal people actually also only have surface knowledge of their supposedly specialist field, or it is so narrow and oddly specific that it doesn’t apply for real world scenarios. The difference being they are not aware of their own lack of knowledge and cannot believe that there are things they don’t actually know or need to learn in order to get better at what they do. There are far between actually good specialist who understands their own limitations.

People with ADHD I know are much more aware of their own lack of knowledge and will do absolutely everything to gather ALL the knowledge they can and use that surface knowledge they have on a million topics to find applicable places to dive further into. However controling the brain about what’s “applicable” is the issue far an ADHD brain and where we need help to sort the gold from the noise. But it is an invaluable skill to have that curiosity and creativity and knowledge of a million things, it’s just about how you use it.

Open source or no sauce from me to this company.

If done right even if the controller/bridge is down it should still work. However Zigbee is a bit of the wild west so mixing brands of switches and bulbs might not always work if you want this functionality so stick with one brand or test before you buy more. I have a few sonoff buttons and they dont work with ikea bulbs when pairing directly. But your mileage may vary.

I love all the ikea stuff, but true that the remote controls are absolutely garbage. I have multiple and they all are either slow, or not responding half the time. I think they have some debounce build onto the firmware and it is way too agressive.

Well that’s peak ADHD for you right there. New thing=dopamin. No dopamine any more = abandoned projektets. My best advice is to pick something that you can keep itterating on infinitely and keep interesting. For instance i like making smoothies and its something you can vary for ever and never run out of recipes to try. Basically food is a good hobby because there’s so much to learn from the entire world

For gaming something like Minecraft can be fun because infinitely projects, but maybe harder to stay motivated.

3d printing is also good because there’s something new constantly.

Congratulations on your new brain chemistry. Its such an amazing feeling, and i hope you’ll find out a lot of new things about yourself. For me I feel like I got my sense of self back like I remember myself from 20 years ago. For far too long I feel like I’ve been on autopilot, trapped in a constant fight for my own attention that has been stolen from me. I’ve been medicated for a year now in my late 20’s and I feel so happy.

But remember this, when it inevitably becomes the new norm and you have a difficult day. You still have ADHD. The meds will never remove that. But you now have better tools to fight back what is rightfully yours, namely your attention. Remember to take a break sometimes and just ride the ADHD for a day or two when the meds are not working as they should for whatever reason. It’ll bounce back and you will find out you are so much stronger that you used to be over all.

Be kind to yourself.

Bme280 is actually just as cheap if not cheaper than the dht sensors. But its a fair point trying to keep the cost down. I definitely like that philosophy, but if the quality suffers too much it’s just not worth the trouble. Keep up the good work. 😎

Those dht11 sensors are garbage tho. Best case they are wildly off on their humidity sensor. Worst case they keep breaking and shows nonsense readings. I would recommend bme280 sensor instead. If you read about them you might see people complain that they are reading too high temperatures, but in my experience its because they are misconfigured. Default settings have a very high sampling rate of multiple samples per second that heats up the sensor a tiny bit giving you the offset. Lowering the sampling rate or turn the sensor off completely in between readings gives really precise measurements on both temperatures and humidity.

It’s just the truth 😂 and they are paying me for it 😎

Awesome idea. There is actually one of those time timers at work that noone uses. I’ll steal that for my WFH days. I used to use it at work myself before I was medicated and it helped me a lot but I forgot about it completely because while at work I don’t really need it anymore now I have my meds.

I might steal this.
