Some news about the OpenPrinter project in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

Yup. one thing is clogging (I've experienced it many times in the past). It might be cheaper to repair with this one, but still annoying. Then there is print quality affected by moist during and after printing. And lastly, the ink price. Which again, it might be reasonable with this one, but who knows. The first two reasons are enough for me to avoid it. But again, it's great effort and I hope it succeeds.

That depends. I'm stuck on running Windows 11 as a virtual guest due to Visual Studio.

While that's true, it's a low bar. Ideally artists get some meaningful payments. There is also an issue how they count streams, do they count them correctly etc. From what I remember, it's very shady.

My guide is even simpler - don't install windows in first place. If you have one, format the disk.

Wait, this is inkjet? Hard pass for me. I commend the effort, though.

China's coal power on the rise again in 2026, reversing first-in-a-decade decline in c/climate@slrpnk.net

Oink oink, but on the bright side, the DOW is above 50K. We are fine.

When even the biggest solar power/renewables country can't keep up with demand. That's really dark for the Earth.

Alloy or carbon handlebars on Scott Addict R2 (programming.dev)
 

I wondering whether my Ritchey WCS Evo handlebars on my pretty old Scott Addict R2 are carbon or alloy - is there a way to distinguish the two? It's probably alloy I guess.

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots (blogs.gnome.org)
 

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

Sadly Roglič, after taking ~~3~~ 4 falls, abandons the Giro. 🙁

About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)
 

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

driving three 4K DP displays with a 9900X(3D) iGPU? (programming.dev)
 

Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

A front light "for being seen" for K-Edge (GoPro) mount? (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

How does breaking affect brakes? (programming.dev)
 

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

Is Fiido Titan a good bike? (eu.fiido.com)
 

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

in what shape is Jonas? (programming.dev)
 

Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?
