There are definitely some janky solder joints here, but honestly... Im pretty happy with this outcome as my first foray into soldering.

From my best friend to me. I need to share it:

"It's important to view Mental Health the same way we think of getting a cold. If you were running a fever coughing sneezing sniffling slobbering, you wouldn't do anything but lay in bed and heal. Mental health is no different. If you caught a mental bug & it put you down for a couple days, there's no shame in that. As long as you're getting up and approaching your bare minimum survival. And sometimes that's all you're going to have for yourself."

Technology is not inevitable. We've decided not to have asbestos in our walls, lead in our pipes, or carginogenic chemicals in our food. (If you're going to argue that it's not everywhere, where would you rather live?) We could just not do LLMs. It's allowed.

My P1S 3D printer is running in LAN-only, developer mode in order to bypass Bambulab's cloud.

I use Home Assistant to control/monitor prints, with spaghetti detection module:

Bambulab Home Assistant integration: https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab
Spaghetti detection HA module for P1 printers: https://github.com/nberktumer/ha-bambu-lab-p1-spaghetti-detection

Good to see that for people who don't run Home Assistant, there are alternatives:

Very happy to finally have a digital photo frame to resurface pictures I took once, but haven't seen in ages. There was nothing to buy that wasn't severely enshittified, so I had to build one. I think it came out really nice -- hardware and software.

A "self-hosted" digital photo frame

Building a photo frame from cheap hardware and open-source, ready-to-use software, with a picture update workflow comprising a few scripts and a bunch of DataLad/git-annex repositories.

To be distributed...
