@RussSharek was the person you know who libreboots them on fedi?

Should I try libreboot

Ok I have a Lenovo R400 and I’m planning to install Arch on it. Any tips?
If not arch I’ll probably try Xubuntu

Maybe search online for your prospective business name *before* finalising it. Just a suggestion.

Printing a quick fan guard from Thingiverse after it bit my finger in testing

Forgot to take any pictures, but last night I glued 2mm cork mat to the underside of Princess' bed heater. And she heats up much faster now, only a few minutes! It's also steadier and uses less power. It's very noticeable how much less the room gets heated up during a long print now. #tinkering

Here’s the fan shroud and fan mounted on the procurve switch and wired into the original fan connector. I connected all the fan tachometer pins together so it won’t complain about having lost 3 of them, and now it happily runs nearly silently!

I don’t have an oozing problem. What are you talking about?

Starting the print is delayed as the 2mm cork mat I ordered arrived, so I glued it onto the underside of Princess’ print bed using high temperature gasket silicone. This increased thermal insulation should significantly increase the electrical efficiency, and heat-up speed, while adding very little weight.

two pieces so they can be printed like so.

Today's several hours of fusion360 modelling has been on this two-part shroud to use a quiet 80mm fan to cool a 1U HP Procurve switch, instead of the noisy 40mm fans inside. #tinkering

This AU$40 USB cardioid condenser microphone with mount, spring arm and pop filter from Kmart is astonishingly good for the price.

Cardboard prototyping & testing is a crucial step of designing a new thing. This is a soldering fume extractor using a xiaomi air filter. #tinkering

Someone also nicked the leaded solder *again* and I’m mad about it

The biggest problem with the Pinecil is that now I know the soldering joy that can be experienced for only US$25, using the crappy soldering stations at work is so much more miserable in comparison

Aw hell yeah it turned out delicious. This is going in the repertoire for super quick & easy dinner.
I added mandolined zucchinis because they needed eating as well as the kimchi and shallots. I forgot to chop the kimchi at all so it didn’t stick together the best but that was fine, I like having the texture of it still there. Also added some Ssamjang for extra flavour
