Hey! It works now :) After opening it up, I ended up cleaning the nozzles by pumping isopropanol through them (filled a syringe with it, removed the dummy cartridges and connected the syringe and nozzles with a PVC-tube). After that I ran the nozzle cleaning program through the epson-printer-utility tool a couple of times (not the power cleaning), and then printed some full color pages of CMYK.

The program, which initially this post was about (hence the Linix community) worked once I realized it didn’t pick it up while I was connected with VPN. Then scanning tool does, not sure how this tool atrempts to find the printer that it is not caught by the default split tunneling set up by Proton VPN.

Finamp you mean?

Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.

Also I don’t see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this.

It uses a comma instead of a punctuation mark as the decimal point. Default numbers formatting on my system uses a punctuation mark. In other words, it is ignoring my system settings for what numbers should look like.

I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.

In that case I would expect it to output the numbers without the delimiter. But I have not set the number formatting to American English.

The reason a very small subset of users love it*

All the downloads making it the top app in the app stores are from people using their centralized service. The people behind these downloads have no clue that you can run it locally or can even start to understand what that would even mean. It is this usage the article is addressing.

Like the thread starter, I am also confused to why this in particular draws so much hate.

Yeah, me too. It is quick and easy. I use SyncThing for things I want to keep synced.

I run CalyxOS on FP4, and I like it. It also has FP5 support. As far as I know, mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS work on (at least) FP4, but key phone functionality is lacking. There’s a functionality matrix on their wiki.

tmux has been on my to-learn list forever now. Seems it should be bumped up in priority.

NetworkManager was not installed on my system, but I will look into this later and check out nmcli and nmtui (as suggested below) to get familiar with these tools.

I don’t think it uses netplan.io - it is a very standard Debian server install - netplan.io being Canonical, I guess that would typically be found on Ubuntu installs?

nmtui sounds nice. I didn’t end up installing NetworkManager now, but it is something I will look more into, so I’ve noted it down. Learning networks is a big goal for this year.

If you only consider the print performance, sure. But the point here is that you pay a hidden fee when going with more locked down solutions, and you should factor that into your assessment of the price as well. You might still end up with the same conclusion, but for me, avoiding enshitification traps is worth a lot more than a penny.

Cheers, it looks like I will have to open up this week end then and forget about these cleaning programs.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, and nothing happened. I think it might only work for the printers with an LCD-display? Mine does not have that (does yours?), and I remember reading somewhere that to do that hardcore cleaning (I can’t recall what they called it), I would need to run it using either Windows or macOS.

Thanks for that! I’m not quite sure what the dummy cartridge is, however, and how I would access it. Would you be able to elaborate on that?

Forgejo for self-hosted source control?

It’s known as a beginner-friendly distro, exactly for the reasons you say. There is nothing wrong with using something like that as an intermediate or advanced user if that is what you prefer. You don’t have to go “Well, I have been using Linux for four years now, guess I am an intermediate user so now I have to switch to Arch”

Thanks for the write-up! :)

Yeah, I’m OK with the cost of it. I don’t only consider a feature vs. price picture, but also factor in things (like you say) support and longevity/sustainability.

The militant fanboyism surprised me a bit (maybe it shouldn’t have?) - looking at some of the comments below YouTube-reviews was… interesting…

Cheers! Saving this reply for when I have got my printer and need to figure out how to do things like this!

This is what I use. Replaced my old Fitbit Aria 2. I weighed in on both scales for about a month, and it was consistently 0.15 kg below, which is good. The body fat measurement was a bit more off, and it varies almost nothing over long periods of time, but I don’t really trust those measurements anyway.

I believe you can set up the scale in GadgetBridge as well, but I have not tried to do that.

Yeah, ideally it would already be out and I could look at some reviews. The timing is such that I want to get one now, and I would hesitate to get a MK4S instead where the Core One seems to better fit my wants. If it was either a brand new company or a printer that somehow revolutionized 3D-printing, I would be more hesitant to order before launch. But seeing as Prusa is an established company, and they are not reinventing the wheel here, I feel more comfortable (even as you say, they are stretching out of their comfort-zone - but isn’t one of their commercial grade printers already core xy?).

I have also thought that the prints where I need more volume would not be solved by an additional cm or two in the xy-plane, and would need to be spliced in some way. How is that process anyway? Do you use a glue gun or a 3D pen to do this splicing? My guess it will not look very pretty, but could I expect to be able to make watertight seals for example?
