@danirabbit@mastodon.online it took me a similar time then to download a C compiler. I'm guessing you had more fun

Excellent news. Lignite is one of the worst, most environmentally harmful ways of producing energy, and turning the mining area into a recultivated tourist attraction will restore most of the harm it caused.

Wow, this Astrobin Image of the Day is extremely cool!
It shows how Proxima Centauri, our nearest star, is moving through the night sky over the years. Since 2011 it has moved much less than the size of the Moon, but it can be observed with the right telescopes.
The night sky is not static, things change even in the timespan of human lives.

That was a heavy episode, with a heated discussion based on what Linus Torvalds said about AI in Linux. The crew has differing opinions about AI, it's cost (environmental, ethical) and actual usefulness.
Personally, I am much closer to Joe's side of the argument than Graham's.
I highly recommend to listen to it and make your own opinion.

"Solar added about 600 terawatt-hours of generation globally – the largest increase ever recorded in a single year for any power technology. That helped push overall coal-fired electricity generation down."
Slowly, but we're getting there 😍

Seriously, what happened to Google Translate? Now translating a single word can take even something like ten seconds, and the quality feels worse.
(That is a rhetorical question, I know exactly what is wrong)

If you are into renewable energy and offshore wind farms, you might find this blog post interesting. It's written in some heathen language full of mysterious diacritics, but at least there are photos:

I just realized one thing: I totally stopped watching IT Youtube.
I used to watch that LTT news channel, some Gamers Nexus, Jeff G, Craft Computing, Explaining Computers, and now I can't be bothered to watch any of it.

I have a weird problem with #3DPrinting
Whenever I print things that should screw into other things, they don't fit. For example with OpenGrid, when I print the MultiConnect snap and the screw that goes into it, I need to scale it down by 10% to be able to screw it in. Is this normal?

My laptop was released in 2019, and my phone in 2021. My NAS has mostly parts from 2015-2018. And all work perfectly fine. Why buy new things?

If I wanted to record a short audio clip in Linux, is still Audacity the tool to go, or is there something new and better?
Thank you everyone who contributed! I added a brim and ensured there are no draft in the room, and now the part printed without any warping or peeling. <3

If sticks are made from wood, why isn't wood sticky? Makes you think.

I used to run octoprint on a Raspberry Pi, and there everything worked fine. I moved to a Wyse 5070 and there the printing also works, but most times the webcam feed looks like this. The deployment has been the same on both platform, through Docker. Any suggestions, dear fedicians?

New blog post!
This time it's about procrastination, networking, and most of all about configuring MikroTik devices to work as NATless Access Points.
This blog post was long in the making, but eventually I sat down and wrote it in one go based on the notes I was making along the way. And I hope it will be useful for homelabbers and other people interested in network devices.
