Last Notes npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis VCs will throw money at your face. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis looks like it! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis slllloooooow speed. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Now that’s a drill bit. (Biggest one I own, at least) npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis depends on how boring tariffing the wind is… npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis god, that must have been total madness at kdays. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m a little sad that it’s not a home grown, Canadian design, but I’m sure there are reasons beyond my understanding (… errr money… I assume the Korean built trains are less expensive). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis nice. I didn’t find that page! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I was looking up something about the #yeg Valley line extension on Wikipedia today and I was surprised. The new West and currrent Southeast use different rolling stock: Hyundai units on west and Bombardier on southeast. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that’s what I ended up doing. Should be here tomorrow! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ve only really successfully used a Forstner bit with a drill press and they’re quite pricy at that! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis interesting. Do you kind of dig it out? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I need to drill a big-ish hole (~1.5”) into my house’s band joist to run conduit to my garage. I’ve done this sort of thing before but my house is just a couple of years old and modern houses are… different. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Haha… what the fuck. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis i didn’t have an Apple branded dongle with a NIC (only usb/hdmi). Very mixed bag (3 of 5 brands don’t work) on off brand dongles for the NIC portion on Linux. HDMI and USB tend to always work. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis dunno about the pi but this recent annoyance did have me thinking about ways to simplify my setup. It would be nice to just plug in a single PoE rj45 and it boots. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Anyone have a recommendation for a USB C wired network adapter that works reliably on Linux? A combo HDMI/usb a/power pass through is ideal. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I still think this form factor seems futuristic. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I ordered a Clicks Power Keyboard back in March. Supposedly, it's going to be manufactured this month. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Cooled my house down to 21c by capturing the morning cool, I think that might be as low as it gets for a while. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis To be fair Pearson, at the time of development, was not the same monster as it is today. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I made the same connection a week ago! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ll probably gain no friends here, but I wish Billy Bishop was expanded. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis such an odd target. I don’t get that issue being so attacked. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis We had flash flooding yesterday in #yeg. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://cosocial.ca/@Chigaze/116886458342291802 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis still I’m sure Dani has committed some amount of our tax loonies into something that will not bring a hot cent back. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Chances of ever being built by this point in the bubble? “Yikes.” npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://redwombat.social/@sortova/116878794553363711 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis never done that, but sounds impossible. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I spilled 1/2 jar of tahini. 0/10, do not recommend. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I use an 18 count egg tray actually. I hate having 2 cartons kicking around the fridge so 18 means you can buy a dozen when there are still some hanging around from the last batch. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that is the most random arrangement proposed yet. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis If you have half-a-dozen eggs left in a dozen sized carton, what is the correct arrangement? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah, I mean, in principle it feels like an interesting thing to jump into while it’s still fairly early, but the messiness of it all is something I don’t want to deal with (or end up on the ‘wrong’ side when it’s settled). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis this and the meshtastic thing turns me off to the whole technology space. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I went to the "Community Recycling Depot Bonnie Doon" and it was strewn with broken glass in the car path. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis never. I will stop this travesty. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis what sort of machine had a 5 pin DIN in 1995? Weird. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis AdP is made for Eurovision but… you know breaking records at Montreal Jazz Fest isn’t the typical pathway. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis #Eurovision news breaking on #CanadaDay no less. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I work in in-memory databases for about a decade now. The price of memory is a huge concern for me as it changes how people adopt these databases. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis This is bonkers good stuff. I never knew I wanted to build a displacement sensor, but now my head is spinning with ideas. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I wonder what kind of BotNet it’s serving? 😉 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis -40c to ~+32c npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m… i live in a different world. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis We’ll see. It looks pretty nice at least for another 24-30 hours or so. A few days of drying really helps. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis It’s over! #yeg #yegwx npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis we had two months of rain in 2 days. It’s unreal. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Welp. #YEG is getting taken out by rain. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah - definitely change it. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis sorry to weirdly jump in here but the ID Buzz, how bad is it really? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis SV08 is a great machine burdened by a terrible nozzle system. An upgrade to a to a micro swiss flowtech makes it a near perfect machine. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I know it's a joke... but some celebrate not because of the direct impregnating bit but rather a gruelling paperwork process and intrusive interviews with social workers that culminates in a court order (dad via adoption). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis end of the quarter. Some poor email marketing schmuk trying to make open rate numbers. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I mean, the failure mode of a freezer in our winters is “box” npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis maybe. Still 20c off of the tech spec minimal temp at -10. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that was a device I was looking at for sure. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I have a detached garage and I need to add wired (cameras, power relays) and wireless connectivity (garage openers). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis no idea. It’s for stuffing gift bags. Tissue paper but not for blowing your noise. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis So the fuselage was a fail - impossible to glue up. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Print 1 complete. #3dPrinting npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Trying a new-to-me #3dPrinting technique: printing on tissue paper. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Okay, this is pretty neat. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Finally, I want a pedal board under the desk with a few macros for common actions: cycle through windows, hang up a zoom call, etc. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis The central laptop would be used for interactive work: web browsing, coding, drafting documents, etc. I want two external monitors setup in portrait mode flanking each side. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I keep thinking about what my dream/fantasy workstation would look like. This may be impractical but… npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I know. I know. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the nightly rendering style looks so much better than the release. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis what version is that? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis oh man, get mended up soon. Last year, I dislocated mine in China and had to fly back the same day. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I go to a lot tech conferences. As a consequence, I get handed a lot of sticker. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I find this whole ecosystem so confusing. I thought about playing with it a few months ago but noped out when I started peaking into stuff like particular bits _not_ being OSS. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis they’re useful! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Doing some household engineering this weekend. I have a cabinet I want to install a pull out rack to hold several cast iron pans (read: heavy). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don’t post much about music but I’ve fallen down a deep Angine de Poitrine hole. You should too. They the best Canadian Dadaist, microtonal math rock duo. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m baffled at what a compiler would be really doing with that much processor muscle. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the never transitioning off/use more is verifiably incorrect. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the URL thing is an interesting strength. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m trying to switch to using more TUI tools. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis For admin tools, would you rather have a: npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis so, I had a doctor tell me to eat more insoluble for a temporary health thing. A food that has a ton is cinnamon, like an ungodly amount (it’s tree bark, which that tracks). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis if it’s part of the Fediverse, it could be called pooptoots. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis it’s hauntingly bad. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://mastodon.social/@FluentInFinance/116371822094839719 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I mean, 19A0 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://hachyderm.io/@jbcrawford/116370770647099756 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis noooot very well. It effectively is an object with no thickness and kind of hard to fill in without manually doing so. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis too bad these models aren’t solid. I need to 3d print a tiny PCjr for my desk. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis seems right to me! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don’t feel so bad about spending $35 CAD then! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis My son won’t eat much fruit. We found these little bags of freeze dried strawberries and he *loves* them. He likes the crunch. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that’s a business idea: filafume (perfumaent?)- perfume for your filament npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I was a beta tester on one of the first PHA filaments to market a few years ago. It was made here in Canada and it legit smelled like maple syrup when printing. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis PHA is super different by brand too. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis IIRC PLA isn’t terrible at chemical resistance (the primary solvent is unusual enough that no one chemically smooths it), but bathroom cleaners can be harsh. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis did you make it out of PLA? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah. Mesh makes sense. No place to build up load bearing farts! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis an autonomous chair? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ve heard this brand a few times. I’ve never been wild about the gaming chair look, but I could get over it.
