  • It’s pretty serviceable at this point. Fan and temperature monitoring in the kernel just made its way in too. I’ve been using Nixos with the Asahi kernel on a 64gb M1 Max MacBook Pro for the past few months and it’s been a pretty fantastic experience overall. Before that I was using it on a 8gb m1 air and it was decent enough. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect by any means but it is capable enough that I could not see switching it back to macOS for much of anything outside of some production stuff.


  • The head might be too close to the bed. You could potentially compensate with either additional top layers in the slicer or just give it some more room to lay down layer one. Another possible cause is potentially too much heat. I am going by the slight elephants foot at the bottom of the cube and the slight droop at the top of the X and Y.









  • Yeah, it’s not quite that simple. One thing that really sucks is a lot of the tech, tuning and design that existed is not as simple as just making the thing again. Manufacturing equipment has to exist and experience making the thing has to exist. Take a look at the state of cassette.

    There is only one company currently making cassette and there is no real way to get anything else besides the one model that they make. Even the highest end new cassette players use the same one because there is literally no other facility making them.

    Compare any modern cassette to walkmans or really any handheld player from the 90s in terms of sound or even size and you will see everything from then is so much smaller and sounds way better.

    The facility that makes the modern ones knows this and acknowledges it. It’s just the manufacturing does not exist anymore.

    That is just tape.

    CRTs are absolutely nuts in comparison. It will be a truly sad day that CRTs are no longer a thing you can find.




  • There was pinephone pro. I had one but lost it when I moved across the country. I loved it but unfortunately it wasn’t something that I could rely on because of a lack of proper deep sleep. Legit only had like 4 hours screenoff per charge and the lack of a usable camera was a bit of a bummer. I haven’t tried it in a few years now. I miss it despite its complete lack of practicality.





  • I’ve enjoyed kitty + zsh + oh-my-zsh with a nice long list of plugins that I quite enjoy for a while. It’s rock solid and very easy to configure/migrate to new machines. That plus zen-full tmux and lazyvim with its own set of customizations and plugins has been a complete modern mouse friendly env for both local and remote for me for years.

    Fish is really great too. It gets you a modern shell with a lot of sensible features and defaults out of the box. I feel like it is a bit harder to customize and make your own. That is of course my opinion.
