Yes, but you said it yourself - you had to replace the firmware with one that lets you run faster than the original, and you're using a different slicer. With Bambu Labs printers, you just plug them in, turn them on, and feed them fila

I recently converted all of my (5 in 3 buildings) mini splits on my property to be controlled by Home Assistant. It took some research but all I ultimately needed was: https://cloudfree.shop/product/ductless-hvac-wi-fi-

I just had to check if it even existed because I was sure that I had a CGI book that focused on Perl from O'Reilly in the late 90's, and sure enough, the book I had was published in 1996 (with a second edition released in 2000).

Hulk Hogan was my business partner in an ill-fated web hosting business called Hostamania. While he ultimately had a lot of troubled, old-fashioned thinking that I don't agree with, he was a genuinely friendly person who was nice to ev

I wish that this had a "family sharing" option, like "Apple One" does. My kids have iPhones with AppleCare+ but the only way to manage it is from their phone (despite being billed to the Family Sharing plan); would be ni

There is a "local bit" in MAC addresses per RFC 7042, so MAC addresses that have their second character as E, A, 2 or 6 are "local" which effectively means "randomly selected by software". So my current macOS s

I thought the same about the article and assumed I had just missed something - it seemed to have a nice overview of the depth maps but then covered mostly the gain maps and some different file formats. Good article, just a bit of a meanderi

It would be great to see how this compares (why it's better, or what it does differently) to the myriad of competitors in this space - from established players like n8n adding 'AI' features, to AI-specific workflow tools like

I wish OpenAI would provide more clarity about the Assistants API deprecation, which has been announced as being sunset in spring of 2026 and replaced by the Responses API, but still no other updates on the timeline or migration plan. Prior

For a handful of servers I would just do a for loop like `for i in {01..10};do echo "command" | ssh -T server$i.example.com;done` because it was quick and dirty and worked fine for something quick, but obviously it doesn't re

In a past life, this is an interview question that I would ask people: "We have thousands of servers, and you need to run the same command on 10 of them, what's one way you would do it?" and follow up with "What if you w

This is one of my dream machines to own. The Sun E10k was like the Gibson, it was so mythically powerful. It was a Cray inside of your own server closet, and being able to be the admin of an E10k and have root on a machine with so much powe

Have not used Node Red in production and only played with it briefly, but n8n is more of a Zapier replacement whereas Node Red I believe is more of an IoT automation platform. n8n is made so that you can set it up and give your staff access

n8n has been good but not great in our organization (and we pronounce it "Nathan", to answer someone else's question). It's effectively a self-hosted version of Zapier and has quite a few built-in integrations. It's

One good test of geocoding API's is to put in a PO Box-only ZIP code like 22313. If you get back Alexandria VA near 38.82 N -77.05 W then you've found a decent geocoding API. If you get no location back or if you get some other pl

I wouldn't say they lied so much as they obfuscated the truth; the machine supported millions of colors, and with dithering techniques the monitor could look like it was displaying quite a lot of colors, but only the 20" display c
