Notes

Which 3D printer should I buy? I have no experience with this stuff but I want something that can print fairly large things (a foot tall?) with high quality. I'm not concerned about noise or speed. Maybe under $500?

A recent thread somewhere about small team sizes and its affect on focus made me curious about OpenBSD's commit rate over the years.

http://oxide.org/cvs, OpenBSD commit history since 1997:

Google: let's offer critical services that people will depend on, and do it for free so we can gain the most users, eliminate competition, and mine our users' data to sell them ads

Also Google: we hAvE Too mAnY uSERs To aCTUaLLy ProViDe REaL SUppoRT tO THem

Or, another example of how OpenBSD makes things simple and well-integrated out of the box that everyone else makes so complicated and hard to configure

Hello again, old friend

Do you ever feel bad for making computers do stupid things over and over again

Here's a good visual comparison of the X1 Nano vs the X1 Carbon

My wife discovers coil whine:

PSA: The new @geteero@twitter.com Pro 6 APs have terrible coil whine (or "piezoelectric effects in multilayer capacitors" as their engineer on Reddit put it). They are very noisy even from several feet away when they're pushing WiFi traffic.

The "soft-rim" TrackPoint cap from my X1C7 made by @saoto28@twitter.com appears to clear the keys on my X1N1

I don't remember crying the first time I watched Interstellar, but the movie feels a lot different now watching it as a father

Apparently dachshunds are trending on Twitter for being jerks. RIP Carl :(

Here's the inside of the X1 Nano

Trying out OpenBSD on the ThinkPad X1 Nano

Works so far: Wifi, video, touchpad, audio
Not working: Suspend (no S3)

Keyboard is a short throw but feels good, not much different than I remember my X1 Carbon feeling

Doesn't seem to get too hot or have a loud fan, no coil whine
