I had fun adding my CUPS printer to Windows 11 this evening. I was unable to rename the network address like I was able to do on my machine. My old notes were useless. I was able to automatically find and add the printer, but that did not work. Tweaking settings just resulted in more errors. I removed the new printer entry, added it again just like I did before, and it worked. 2026-07-24T02:08:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg7deh65k9rx9ycxnzeq6zzmlv7s2zmeukhhjdj3wd33vawqga9ngzyrxkhd6yh3at47dkfw5dt356ed3v2t9hgewwlh2cjn84khc6vr8gutk06vj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqk0wkey4gphzl56aq6pvp07r80zu8ac70cm6uef4wrasqqdleeygntjnhf'>nevent1q…jnhf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There are lots of plotter projects out there such as <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4796222">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4796222</a> To adapt it to a crayon, you would likely need some sort of additional weight or slow extruder as the crayon would wear down faster than a pen or marker.

Instead of having an army of software maintainers backporting security patches to a fixed version for years, they let upstream do their thing for the most part unless something big breaks. The benefit is that you get updates packages faster and get to participate in the active development of the software that you use. The drawback is that things break every now and then. 2026-02-07T15:11:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8m8f2ydx0wqw6nrpa9pjg4d2qldzck6gyl6nqjvhvk629a3lr0kszyrxkhd6yh3at47dkfw5dt356ed3v2t9hgewwlh2cjn84khc6vr8gukd47t3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsws7uw905su7xkdnvd9amkwpl9pcpxzshpfj7v2hek43ccrr94y2qxx78hf'>nevent1q…78hf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>When I get to pick, I usually go with Debian, Trisquel, or Arch. 2026-02-07T13:33:42Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfwj8wswughs7xv9cxdzy4xwl48t7p2hpwe3v7slsf04lr5kmeguqzyrxkhd6yh3at47dkfw5dt356ed3v2t9hgewwlh2cjn84khc6vr8guwg60ge I made some updates to my latest repositories LogReview and FirewallBlockGen this weekend.<br/><br/><a href="https://github.com/TechnologyClassroom/LogReview">https://github.com/TechnologyClassroom/LogReview</a><br/><br/><a href="https://github.com/TechnologyClassroom/firewallblockgen">https://github.com/TechnologyClassroom/firewallblockgen</a> 2026-02-06T01:11:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8at7sqkn8v4q86lvg52sd3r738anzhqztnn8mkjgvdm9zwuvjusgzyrxkhd6yh3at47dkfw5dt356ed3v2t9hgewwlh2cjn84khc6vr8guu0u3ua I will be giving a new talk this weekend titled &#34;How to fight DDoS attacks from the command line&#34; at <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1djp88qg9zk7t9jt7qwm0f5hwcqc278eyusqrqwykf5ac9pwuaytqkxzcrd" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BSides CT</span> (<span class="italic">npub1djp…zcrd</span>)</a></span> this Saturday September 20th at 2:30pm.
