Neopets go TTRPG With Crowdfunding Campaign - midwest.social

I read the post rules and didn’t see any other announcements of the Neopets TTRPG lmao. Remove if I broke the rules! Anyways, this actually sounds like a lot of fun. Might lead to some creative scenarios, especially if your GM knows the deep and complex Neopets lore.

Vote Scores Not Showing - midwest.social

Hi there, It seems that my midwest.social account has stopped showing the upvote count on posts and comments sometime over the last few days. My Lemmy.world and lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] accounts show them fine still. Ive tried logging out and back in and still no dice. Anyone else having this bug?

Question: How does one open source their stuff?

Question: How does one open source their stuff? - midwest.social

Hey there. Im working on a project for some software I want in the world. But I’m such a hobbyist that I’ve never thought of publishing any of my projects, but after doing so much work in it I kind of want other to have access to it after I feel its ready. Whats the process of distribution? I guess I typically use github when interacting with FOSS community, but its still confusing for me to navigate as an end user sometimes, let alone being an uploader. FWIW its simply a few python modules and other supporting txt and jsons. Targeting mostly Windows because that’s what I use. Thanks! (If this isn’t the right place to ask please let me know!)

Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help

Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help - midwest.social

I just sent this email over to elegoo official, so either way I’ll update this post with their response for a community reference point: “Hello, I’m having issues with my Elegoo Neptune Pro 4. I’ve tried following the official documentation and other resources to help fix my issue to no avail, so I am reaching out as a last ditch effort. My issue mainly pertains to PLA prints consistently being ruined partway during printing after a few months of use and operation. Specifically, my print will successfully complete the first few layers. Then, at some point, the print will somehow ‘grab’ or ‘catch’ the print base and drag it around the print bed, ruining the print and causing a large build up of filament at my hotend. This then requires cleaning. From what I have seen, this can be caused by issues with the print bed not being clean or the temperature of the bed in relation to the fan speed. For example, having a low fan utilization at the beginning, then ramping up later in the print is supposed to help this issue. However any fixes I tried returned null results. Some background info, I purchased the printer on preorder and received it in September 2023. I have kept up with maintenance. Namely, keeping stepper motor tracks cleaned and greased properly, belts tightened, the print bed is wiped down with 90% ISO alcohol between prints. I have replaced the hot-end when I first started experiencing print issues, and again during the troubleshooting process to further diagnose the problem.   My Z offset seemingly is “correct”. I followed the mfg instructions closely, and before this issue, my prints were coming out beautifully.   Print Settings: Using Elegoo brand PLA 1kg filament rolls. Default Elegoo Cura print settings applied for temperature, speed, fan speed, nozzle size, etc. Supports or No supports didn’t make a difference during my troubleshooting. Brim printing mode is my default. For the 4-5 months that I’ve had the Neptune Pro 4 has been absolutely amazing. Fantastic quality, consistent, very easy to use and maintain. The issues I’m experiencing are beyond annoying and I can’t seem to figure it out myself. Is this issue known? What are the recommended solutions?” - Let me know if any of you have experienced something similar to this and how you addressed it!

My two best friends always joked about who would have a kid first. I lost and this was for the winner. - midwest.social

Unfortunately, yesterday him and his 8 month pregnant wife lost their child. She had to give birth to a dead child. I’m just still in shock and grieving for my friend. He was about to be a fantastic dad, well deserving of this trophy. I don’t know what to do with it now besides throw it out. Its just a constant reminder of what was going to be a new chapter for our friend group. (Mods go ahead and remove this post if it breaks the rules. But it was my first time designing with letters and was kind of proud how it all came together. And im just kind of in grief for a close friend.) Anyway… whats a cute little print that always makes you smile?

Update: she stayed sprawled out for 2 more hours

I just want to say thank you to Midwest.Social - midwest.social

(Feel free to remove if not allowed) I may be preaching to the choir , but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the instance moderators and owners. I really appreciate the welcoming attitude that a lot of our threads hold. I really like the freedom of expression we can have, as well as the disagrements that have helped broaden my worldview. I love that this is slightly more currated to our location in the world, it really helps connect local news with the people that might miss it if you’re only scrolling the large social media networks or countrywide news outlets. I am definitely biased and might be unaware of se problems, but to me the content and members here actually make me want to participate in the conversation. So uh… yeah. Thank you.

I can't work under these *fluffy* conditions
