Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed “Launcher manager” and “Wolf launcher” to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn’t as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don’t remember anymore aside from the general impression). That’s a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.

Thanks for the response, that confirms my assumption, seems like I was configuring it right, but the behavior is not as expected.

• If HA is active/onscreen already, the command will do nothing.
• If HA is idle/offscreen, the command will bring HA to the forefront, but not change pages. (This is the state it is in after the “turn_off” sends the launcher intent.)
• If HA is off, the command will launch HA, and navgate to the correct page.

Is this all that is to be expected? or should I be able to get to the desired dashboard, from any previous screen or application state?

Summary of the opinion: Nobody here has standing, but… Missouri maybe?, Cause the corporation the state created won’t be able to take in all those fees. Also, congress only allowed completely trashing rules, or slightly tweaking them, this is more “in-between” and we don’t like that. Oh, and the replacement rules only have a requirement to be published, theres no authority to actually write them. This is a new rule, so it’s not allowed. Furthermore, the action taken was too big, unprecedented, we don’t like that.

Summary of the dissent: Nobody here has standing. PERIOD. That corporation could bring it to us, and is explicitly permitted to act as an independent financial and legal entity, so they can bring it theirselves. IF they brought it themselves, congress clearly delegated authority to “waive or modify” provisions, and provide substitute rules appropriate to the situation, after they had passed it explicitly for the gulf war, then explicitly for 9/11, and then opened the doors wide open to any national emergency because they have more important things to deal with during emergencies than student loan policy. The scale of the action matches theS scale of the emergency, and is actually smaller than the previous action (loan pause) that the previous administration instituted. So in other words, loan relief like this may have been a shit idea, may have been a great idea, but it is exactly what the law allows and the court has no business deciding otherwise. It’s not our fucking job to write policy.

You can probably pretty obviously tell which opinion I agree with more… This court is trash, gymnastics required to justify most of their decisions. Expand the court so the scales of power don’t fucking seesaw from regular jurisprudence to batshit insanity upon the death of a single robe-clad geriatric. 😫

Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that “Y” support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous…

Ironically, the thing I’m printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!

After a college mead making experience that turned out terrible, I recently had a go at making T’ej . I haven’t the slightest clue if a regular mead drinker would say it tastes perfect, tastes like ass, or is somewhere in between, but I enjoy it!

I didn’t rack it, just went from the main fermentation carboy to bottles after letting it crash by pouring and stopping before too much sediment came out. I haven’t back-sweetened it but it’s still somewhat sweet and feels a hair like champagne, so I’m a bit afraid it’s going to slowly keep on fermenting in the fridge and carbonate a bit, but I’ll burp the bottles every once in a while so I can keep an eye on it.

Moral of the rambling story: I’m usually the kind of person that goes all out trying to do something the “right way”, and this looks like an excellent guide/summary of how to do that, but my laziness often wins out. In this case at least, I’ve found success doing the bare minimum. I am a bit curious to see how different it would taste following a more rigorous recipe :-)

Thanks for the post! I’ll probably reference this when my current supply runs out or explodes in the fridge!

That is awesome! Looks great!

That’s pretty slick. I didn’t know Firefox bookmarks had anything like that feature. Thanks for sharing!

I have no experience with the Prusa mini, but as a first timer, I found the Ender 3 (pro, I think) perfectly good quality. It might be due to lack of experience with anything else, so if definitely defer to folks who have experience with a few different models, but I’ve found it good for all of my printing needs (Cases, utility objects, and the occasional figurine/trinket). If that success is anything out of the ordinary, I think I’d attribute it to a few things…

• I followed a really detailed setup/assembly guide from a YouTube channel about 3d printing miniatures ( I can probably find it again if you’d like, it was highly recommended)
• I got firmer springs for the print bed (sometimes I go hog wild printing things, sometimes it sits for months, I can’t remember them last time I had to level the bed)
• I got a glass print surface.

I was generally in the same boat as you; Liked to tinker, and wanted the best quality but didn’t want to pay out the ass for it. I typically tend to “overspend” when getting into a new hobby out of the fear I won’t stick with it if I struggle with low quality gear, bit also have an aversion to parting with my cash. These upgrades seemed to be the consensus reached at the time for how to get good consistent results out of the Ender 3.

I find the Ender 3 to be occasionally too small for things I want to print, but generally a good size, and look forward to being able to tinker further with an upgraded/quieter main board.

So, all in all, I can’t help with anything specific to the Prusa mini, but can vouch for the Ender 3 as fitting my needs when I think I had the same general quality/cost criteria as you. Hope you found this helpful! Good luck in your printer search!

I’ve never liked dealing with excel for anything other than manual work. It’s data integrations have grown beyond my familiarity, and I’ve never liked any of the python libraries I’ve used for reading and writing excels formats. Go accessible with something like CSV, and you lose most things of value that excel can offer.

Currently though, this is my strategy. I’ve got folders of Excel sheets that I manually add exports of various things to, but I’m missing the piece that ties it all together, and I’d sure love to do less of the work manually.

Not entirely, just for some features, including data export past a certain date iirc. I probably will wind up doing just that though if I cannot figure out how to get the data off my phone. Right now the phone app is the only place I can even see that the data exists, so I’m slightly afraid of changing anything in mfp lest it ‘sync’ my data out of existence 😕

Thanks for the suggestions. At a quick glance, grafana looks to be perfect for the visualization aspect (at least in terms of capabilities). Glad to see there are free utilities for that and I might not have to resort to chicken scratch html/pyplot :-) I have yet to dig into influxDB still…

Deterrent is right. That graph is terrifying! I feel their frustration regarding getting data from Android apps. Part of what got me started thinking about this was when I realized that the years of data I entered into my fitness pal was suddenly locked behind a subscription service :-( Thanks for sharing!
