Capital District of New York, here. Weather isn’t out of the ordinary for a typical January (yet). I did crank the pellet stove up a few degrees just to help heat the house a little better. I’ll burn through more bags that way, but it’s better than supplementing with electric heat.
It tastes like sarcasm.
This whole thread is sarcasm, dipped in a whipped sarcasm batter, crusted with crushed sarcasm, then deep fried in a pure sarcastic oil for a sarcastically long time until it’s a nice even color. It’s then drizzled with a sarcastic reduction, and presented on china with a sarcastic pattern with accompanying cutlery.
I’ll do that. Should I be using the “Ender-3 4.2.2 mainboard (32bit)” firmware? I’ve read that the Marlin firmware isn’t compatible with the GD CPUs, so I’m assuming the “Ender-3Marlin2.0.6HW4.2.2GD” won’t work.
I’ve got a laptop running Linux on it; connected it up at some point during my time with it. The laptop was able to see the USB to serial adapter, but I didn’t poke at it to see if anything was talking on the other side. I’ll try that today!
Checked for that, too. Both the original panel and the replacement only have one “port” for the cable on the back. The board has spots for two more to be connected, but both are missing. Looking at the front of the panel (as if I’m using it), the port is the left most of the three.
Gentoo. I’d tell you the version number, but I’m still compiling.
Just the basic Ender 3, I believe. No version number, so implied v1. Not a Pro, SE, or other appendment to the model.
That’s next on my list, if the replacement panel doesn’t fix the issue. Figured I’d go with the obvious solution first. Doesn’t help that I took a long look at the list of the firmware available for the Ender 3, and figured I’d cross that bridge another day. Creality does not make it simple to identify what’s what.
I picked up an inexpensive “open box - brand new” Ender 3 just after Christmas. Figured it was cheap enough to give up if I didn’t like it, with enough open routes to tweak and improve if I stuck with it.
The display panel shows only a blue screen after assembly,though. Oddly enough, the only part not sealed perfectly (in its antistatic bag) was the panel. Packing slip noted it had been previously returned as it was “ordered by mistake.” Got a feeling the prior owner swapped the panel out with a defective one, then returned it. Waiting on a replacement to ship out as a result.
I’d be making a lot of family, friends, and coworkers very happy. Reminds me of the Elders’ “Seven Years” https://youtu.be/woh3Qqx8mjk
If Israel continues to treat the Palestinians as they have historically done so, it’s likely there will always be a Hamas or their equivalent.

Oh, Oliver boy, what did you do? But crushed a hand you never shook Then robbed the rights of people to be free Oh, Oliver boy, it’s a terrible state You left behind the worse off race Where dignity and pride fought for their place Oh, Oliver boy now you are gone And we’re still here where we belong Forgiveness being our strength you’ll never see
You’re absolutely right. We have the choice between a shit sandwich, and a fifty five gallon drum of pig shit that’s been left out in the summer sun in Texas for six weeks.
Either way, shit’s on the menu, but the bread does make it a bit more palatable.
I’ve been a long time Gentoo user. Years. Gotta be over a decade now.
Back in the early '00s, I tried a few Linux distributions… SUSE, Centos, another one or two that I can’t remember. Each one, I was left at the desktop after a successful install wondering exactly what do I do now.
Friend recommended Linux From Scratch, so I took a couple months and went through the process, three times. First time, I had no clue what I was doing. Second, I started to get a hang of it. Third, I breezed through, then tried to install X.org and all of its dependencies by hand. Taught me a lesson of the value of a package manager. I did end up installing it successfully, then contemplated a DE, but decided to switch distros.
Did a bit of research, found Gentoo, and stuck with it. Updating it isn’t a pain as long as it’s done regularly, and I enjoy having the control and just a bit of feeling like I have some clue as to what’s going on. I don’t get that with a distro focusing on precompiled binaries. It’s also given me the experience to compile software from scratch if I need to.
Well, what’s out there?
