Just had a decent size 3D print finish. It doesn’t get much closer than this! @prusa3d.com @polymaker.bsky.social

The side of a Prusa CORE One L printer with an empty cardboard Polymaker filament spool and the last about an inch of filament sticking out of the PTFE tube. Don’t get on me because I’m running a 1kg spool on a 2kg roller. Nobody has time for switching those out. Please ignore the stacks of half used and empty spools in the background. I’m currently printing a storage solution.

I’ve just looked through over 30 AC adapters I have around my desk. Not a single one matches the 19V 4.74A I need for this NUC. And none are close enough to work. Where did I put that thing‽‽ The ugly side of a #homelab

Ahhh, yes. That panicked feeling when your internet goes down, and you recall unplugging an unlabeled raspberry pi in your own networking closet that turns out is your updated Pi-Hole server. Remember kids, it’s always DNS. #IAmAProfessional

No idea why I’ve been having issues with my 3D prints. #3dprinting #ankermakem5 #eufymakem5

A photo of my old hot end and nozzle from my AnkerMake M5. It has a ridiculous amount of melted filament stuck on the block and the nozzle. Actually, I can only assume there is a nozzle under there. I can’t see it at all. There’s also a layer of fine dust coating everything.

I’m replacing the hot end (but I couldn’t find the better all metal hot end anywhere, boooo) with a new one, and putting on a new DiamondBack nozzle. That should fix a lot of the issues I’ve been having.

Well, the 3D printing issues anyway. I still have a ton of other issues.

Homelab update! Nutanix wasn’t it. Didn’t like my hardware. So I’m running @proxmox.bsky.social And in this screenshot, I’m in a hotel on an iPad Pro using @tailscale.com to get to my lab, and installing Windows Server 2022 for AD/ DNS/ DHCP for the lab. It’s surreal how seamless Tailscale works.

An iPad screen shot of the Windows Server 2022 installer. It’s running in a console window of Proxmox, over a Tailscale connection from my hotel to my lab network at home, which was ridiculously easy to set up. I cannot begin to describe to you how much it hurts my soul to install Windows anywhere in my lab, but it will be good experience I suppose. I’ve never heard of a corporation using Red Hat IdM for its main authentication management. Anyway, it will be fun!

When you import two 3d models at once and forget to make sure they both start on the bed. #orcaslicer #ankermakem5 #3dprintermistakes

A photo of an AnkerMake build plate with the upper and lower halves of a Raspberry Pi case in black PETG. The smaller base on the right was set up correctly. The upper half on the left however is sitting on top of a half inch mess of supports because I failed to ensure it was sitting on the axis before I printed it. That’s going to be fun to clean up. Luckily it’s getting stuffed into the back of the printer enclosure so niceness isn’t a factor.

Homelab day 3: it’s alive! The SFP model arrives so I was able to connect the lab switch to the router and configure that. Next frustration was that there’s apparently no way to write the Nutanix ISO to a USB drive successfully in macOS. Using dd don’t work. balenaEtcher. UNetBootIn didn’t work.

Dashboard of my new three node Nutanix CE cluster. I know what a handful of these things are but it’s mostly foreign after a career in VMWare. There are some errors and warnings that I’ll dive into tomorrow.

Homelab adventures day 2: I thought I had a workaround when I found a Mikrotik Hex S router with an SFP port in one of my drawers. I used one of the DAC cables I have for the servers, but that didn’t play well with the Trendnet 10g switch. I was hoping they would auto-negotiate to 1g.

A partial view of a messy home lab deal. An 8U 10” rack is in the forefront, with three Minisforum MS-01 computers and a Trendnet 8 port 10g switch. There are two highlighter green DAC cables coming from the back of each server to the 10g switch, nicely cable-tied. A failed boot of the Nutanix CE installer sits on an LCD screen in the background.

Home lab adventures: Day 1 installing a three node Nutanix cluster onto Minisforum MS-01 hosts failed miserably. No Intel 2.5Gb drivers (really?!), so my initial idea of bonding the two 10g NICs for inter-cluster comms and using the 2.5g for external is now scrapped.

I hope my son’s school backpack was worth it. So annoying.

Side view picture of a blue late model Honda Fit sitting in a mall parking lot. The rear window has been busted out, and there is a smattering of broken safety glass on the ground. Noticeably absent from this picture, were you to look into the window, is my son‘s school backpack. This has presumably been dumped somewhere after the thieves realized there was nothing of value within.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

My chopsticks delivered with dinner, both from one sealed single use pack, are different sizes. Sisters, not twins. I think that’s how that works?

Two wooden chopsticks from one single use to go package sitting on the arm of a couch. One chopstick is about twenty percent smaller than the other. Ignore the bit of napkin in the upper right corner I didn’t notice until I was posting this and couldn’t crop out.

Do you ever make a mistake so monumentally dumb you question your whole profession? I returned a Logitech mouse because the scroll wheel was broken. The replacement was also broken, so I messaged support. Turns out there’s a button RIGHT THERE that switches from free spin to ratcheting. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Top view of a Logitech M720 mouse, showing what I thought was a broken scroll wheel due to it being free-spinning. The button shown below the scroll wheel, which until now I ignored thinking it was for gaming, switches the scroll wheel between free-spin and ratcheting mode.

Can we get a workspace 🧵 going? I’d love to know that I’m not the only one working in chaos. (I ran out of room in the alt text! Didn’t get to mention my plants!😭)

Messy workspace. General layout is a wall with shelves to the left, a desk against a sliding glass door straight ahead, and another desk to the right making an L with both desks. There is a Secret Lab chair facing the desk on the right.

The desk on the right has, from right to left, a Wi-Fi pineapple Mark VII, a Fallout mousepad with a wireless Logitech mouse, a tech-inspired Mickey Mouse coffee cup with cooling down coffee, an open Cherry Bubly sparkling water, a computer monitor (the second one, along with two Mac Minis and a KVM switch is out of frame to the right), a speaker bar, various nick-nacks like Rubik’s cubes and a mini rainbow WALL•E Funko and a mini pride BB-8, ADHD meds, an open pizza box with half of a meat-lovers pizza, my 40% Planck EZ keyboard I’m in love with, and a foot massager under the desk.

Between the two desks is a tower of drawers with a bunch flog different cables and adapters in the drawers; and then random cables and books I sorted on top.

This is what a 3d print nozzle is supposed to look like. Right? It’s supposed to take vise grips to remove?

Two 3d printer nozzles. The one in the left is new. The one on the right is horribly chewed up by vise grips because it wasn’t coming out.
