Big fan of the PineTime for minimalism and extraordinary battery life, but the Bangle looks compelling. Maybe once the PineTime dies.

Definitely agree. If you need to spin up a bunch of discrete VMs for labbing, that's one thing, but noise, cooling, power consumption, and space all come into play for dedicated hardware. I host a variety of services and they all run on small, low energy hardware (which is often pretty cheap). I just spun up a matrix server on a $100 ebay HP ProDesk which has plenty of power (probably enough to deploy my whole stack).

Not sure how hacky you want to get, but I found that my E3V2Neo got significantly more accurate once I set up independent z control.

Unfortunately, the Mini SKR only has 4 stepper drivers, so I used my old 4.2.2 board in conjunction with the Mini SKR and klipper to enable z_tilt_adjust.

I had a ton of trouble (bed leveling) with the regular dual-z upgrade until then. It's pretty easy to run another set of 24v wires to the old Creality board and I found a printable case to hold everything. Just make sure you use one board for both Z's rather than splitting them across two boards to avoid latency.

I'm happy to post my klipper config if you want to try it.

I have to imagine that this is an aim-assistance scenario. CS does not have aim-assist in order to prevent abuse by M&K players. Most other games have toggles in the settings for contrller use.

You could always try one of the more precise deck aiming schemes like flick-stick+gyro.

I've always felt that Arch has the least amount of personal compromises. For "bleeding edge," it's also generally stable and has a wealth of community support and documentation.

Not as tight as I expected, actually. You could fit another 4-5cm in GPU length with no real issues, and I crammed 2 2.5in SSDs in there, even though the manufacturer only claims 1 can fit.

Thanks! The slots seem to be pretty decent for cooling. I'm seeing similar temps to my previous much larger case. They do include an acrylic side panel as well, not sure how that performs.

Honestly not the easiest build, the EVGA PSU had some issues under load and had to be replaced, and the reseller from AliExpress who painted the case didn't do a phenomenal job. However, it's not easy finding a sub 7L case with front IO so I'm happy with the final product.

I just got done making sleeved cables for a fightstick, so I'm not afraid of the tedium. Just concerned about burning my build up.

How concerned do I need to be about pinout if I go through a supplier like modDIY? My understanding is that it's not recommended to mix and match PSU cables from multiple manufacturers.

 

Is it worth the effort to make custom cables, or should I just work on better cable management?

Kdenlive is totally serviceable for basic meme making. I've used it a few times for quick professional work. Just a little tricky to find documentation for specific stuff.

Glad to hear that it's planned. It's the biggest hurdle to transitioning friends and family over.

It's a component/case directory

Not quite sure who maintains it, but I've found it to be incredibly helpful with recent upgrades.
