  • Espresso does not mean fast but is from “cafe espresso” - pressed out coffee.

    It’s not the coffee express.

    Btw, in the morning I get up go to the coffee machine, turn it on, take my meds, sit on the sofa while the coffee makee heats up.

    I start browsing lemmy, forget the coffee maker, the timer turns it off again, while I answer to some posts.

    I get up, turn it back on, sigh and wait until it is heated up (which is quicker the second time)

    So my morning cup espresso takes about 30-45 minutes to make.

    Oh wait, let me check for my coffee.


  • Look on github for Rappetor’s SV08 mainline repository. You’ll need a new mmc or sd card (both are ok) and a “five bucks” STLink programmer, but then it is quite easy to put mainline klipper on your sv08. The mainboard is a cb1 clone with the “main” ST microcontroller for driving the steppers on the same board (for cost reduction, probably)

    That’s the prerequisite for using a probe. like a btt eddy on a SV08, for example.

    Other than the SV08 has a few issues like super noisy board fan which can be very easily be taken care of. (Funnily software control of the fan is possible, but just not done in the default firmware)

    My mods are mainline klipper, btt eddy, new (printed) extruder shroud with better airflow, a microswiss hotend and a second camera (USB webcam for second viewing angle and better resolution).

    Out of the box the SV08 has a bit of problems keeping a consistent Z offset due to missing temperature calibration for the probe. More reliable solutions (ported from voron) like klicky are available. I chose eddy - but haven’t perfectly tuned it in, either. I’ll try the eddy-ng firmware (github) next week.







  • Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

    Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

    Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife’s. Nowadays it doesn’t work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife’s place never is connected via my internet.

    With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

    And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain’s hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas…









  • It was “The Avatar” in a German translation. I read it twice or so at that time - and it’s many years since, so I have only a dim recollection of all the details, but a lot of politics, and (if I don’t mix it up now) questionable physics regarding light speed and mass, a lot of sex and some weird gaelic inspired poetry.

    Maybe I’ll find a copy one day again, to have a new look with my now old eyes and different woldview.

    From what I’ve seen on goodreads or so I had a bit of misfortune as The Avatar isn’t known as his best work. But beggars can’t be choosers, at that time I got my sci fi fix by browsing the one bookstand with scifi in the central station’s bookstore next to my bus stop home after school… they threw me out once or twice “This is for buying books, not for reading”
