Leadup Everything started as I bought the “LED Panel, Colour Temperature Fully Adjustable […]” by “B.K.Licht” off Amazon. It worked great with the also shipped remote control and it was only a little bit inconvenient to never have the remote when needed. It is a 15W LED panel with RGB/WW/CW and therefore 5 channels. I chose it because the pictures in the reviews indicated a modular power supply and also showed some minor information about the wattage and ratings.

Here is my list of problems… Bad parameter transfer: {} is so illegible in quantities Commands are illegible: In LibreOffice I write e in R or m = abs (M) and have what I want. Done. Nesting is shitty to read: If it ends with }}})} you have a lot of fun! Not live: Okay, I’ll put it behind bracket number four… Wait five seconds… Damn, put it next to it and again… - And only when Overleaf isn’t going crazy!

Prusa Mini+ WiFi and virtual USB

September 9, 2021 16:02

What? The Prusa Mini+ has a problem: It has no WiFi. Also the software does not support any wifi module until now - that feature is planned, but not implemented. Additionally the web interface is, let’s say, not really working, as the printer struggles with serving the static contents (like .css and .js), which are required to render the site. This issue is also known since release 4.3.0 but also not resolved (#1285).

Something went wrong! As first: Sorry. As you can maybe imagine, this should not happen! As part of further improving the stability of my systems I post this incident report.

Maybe you can learn from it or at least understand how such thing could happen in the first place.

Maintenance RSS Feed

What’s that?! Okay, in the recent years I’ve become a service provider to more and more people (which is fine by me), but when I need to do maintenance to my server I now have to contact all of them. Individually. Using their preferred way of communication. Me, contacting all of you - visual representation only, not actual footage. As you may imagine, this is sort of a pain in the b*tt - especially when I need to move the maintenance window or may want to report about outages… So here is my solution: As I already have my website on which I publish maintenance notes and also already render the needed RSS feeds - why not use these?

Kernel Panic by SCSI

March 11, 2021 22:43

I’ve notices some kernel panics on one of my vms when ever any other vm was doing some more cpu intensive work. It seemed there was no reason, as there was no unusual ram usage or vm-host events! So I ignored it for a while until I was finally able to trigger it by using one of my own services - here is a little record of the crash (just in case of further reference):
