Been working on my first real project in Crystal past few weeks. Been a joy, haven’t felt this way since Ruby. Single executable feed web dashboard. Drop an yaml file and run the program, that’s it. Has tabs, autoloads as file changes, tracks source repos. #CrystalLang https://github.com/kritoke/quickheadlines

@simon I’ve had the asus one I think for over a year, been decent. It’s my main Linux dev box. It was cheaper than the i7 ones, otherwise it was going to be another Nuc. My wife uses a pretty old NUC mounted to a tv running Linux for her PC. I have another nuc controlling 3d printers using repetitier server.

@simon I have a couple of them, great devices. I actually just got an Asus clone of one that runs a Ryzen 7. So there are alternatives that are decent if need be. Love the form factor. HP makes decent ones too that my company has deployed tons of places, but I liked the more DIY style of the NUCs.

@AbandonedAmerica It happens on the gulf coast frequently. I’ve been through at least a half dozen hurricanes. Very rough for a few years and so many people leave the area. We do see abandoned and dying areas get renewed though. Seen several downtowns become vibrant after they were mostly abandoned for almost decades for instance. We had two hit my area in two months, only a few years later things are finally bouncing back.

Just released another #3dmodel I made in #alibre design. It is a #cat food can tower that can connect to each other and easily pull cans out at the bottom or top. Made versions compatible in #bambulab P1P/X1C and #prusa MK3S+. #CAD #3dprinting https://www.printables.com/model/422720-cat-food-can-towers
