Building the Tamiya Volvo FH16 Timber Truck

Thank you. I've bled, shouted angrily at clouds, and cursed so many times. All done by that asshole, aka me ;)

When I buy the next truck I'll know better what to do..and when to wait.

Fuck!

APC don't provide software for Linux, but there is a very good linux app called apcupsd that does everything you need, and supports many other brands too. You can add support for various linux system monitoring software too, but I don't need any of that.

I haven't seen a setting for the LEDs, but it doesn't mention that in the manual for windows either. I have set the software in linux to hopefully stop the regular beeping when it's running on battery power. If that doesn't work though I'll just open it up and disconnect the speaker! XD

Deans and Tamiya are both very popular so I guess your battery maker wanted to please everyone :D

I've been making slow progress with the sensors. For reasons that only god knows some of the documented telemetry sensors don't work as they should. So now I'm learning there is a way around it buy creating custom sensors. Now I have to joy of doing everything I spent the last week doing all again but differently!?! XD

It's so much work just so I can see some data on the screen of my transmitter and say to myself 'Cool!' and then never look at it again XD

Oh well, back to it I guess. I'm close though, just a few more steps...

It's not as bad as it looks in that image, but I haven't done any precise alignment on this car yet, so yes they are a little bit wonky.

It can only be better/worse.

Better if our I/O overlords are watching.
Worse if it's humons.

It's a bit slippery here

Same here. It was a bit slippery this morning but now it's raining and all white shit's gone.

Why does every company have to add AI to everything now!?! FFS :(

ugh

Sometimes out bodies like to conspire against us! Sneaky little bastards.

I noticed all sorts of strange problems over the past year while fighting the DWP (Government Benefits Department). All of it caused by stress!

Just make sure to keep yourself healthy :)

I've never seen the wire, but her does look familiar so I feel I must have seen him in something.

Hey you! I wish you..

It is a shame she was a racist cunt, but the jokes on her because I never listened to a word she said. I was too busy for other reasons...

Oh my..

Well Trump does like to visit Soctland and Newcastle isn't very far to the south XD

If Trump had it all his way every word in the English language would be changed to Trump. This fucking guy is in love with himself.

I thought AR was dead.. I guess they went more to 'smart' (AI barf) glasses? :|

So you gonna need 2 AR glasses? Or use one with combined sight if that would be possible. But I guess that be very expensive, right?

I have those far&near sight glasses. Okay, they also turn darker when the UV light is higher but that was only about 100 euro more. The total amount, for the glasses, was just too damn high!

first linky, it's pcmag but still

Have you got a new kitty yet?

Not yet. I've been hoping the CDS (Cat Distribution system) would provide me with another one, but it hasn't happened. I should really look in to it soon.

AI ain't all that bad, though

I don't know what that means, but it feels like something I'm happy without XD

I haven't used KVM so I can't really add anything, but if you're just wanting a print server for your 3D printer then a rapsi with octoprint installed is the way to go.

Oh dear
19/11/25(Wed)10:17

Good

mm..something feels off

And this is why using AI to produce images for advertising is such an incredibly bad idea XD

You system is better as with lots of small parties it forces politicians to work together to some extent to get things done. voters will have very little loyalty to a specific party and will happily switch to another similar party if they aren't happy. In the UK we only have 2 major parties, although the right wing conservative vote is fracturing now with Reform. Our system means we get a single government with absolute power to do what they want, yours has a chance to represent more people with a broader political view. At least in theory, the reality is always less than you'd hope for!

3D printers really do pay for themselves over and over :D

Thanks! This one I used the paint & brushes. You can't really mix the colours with the pens, it'll work a bit but it also stains the pens themself.

1 job, ruined
