The Modern Era: where you can check in for a flight while having a poo, and still yet to pack your bags.

@neoncolours@moth.social avatar

@mattgrayyes kind of makes the checking in redundant. Back in the day it meant you were physically present at the airport, now it’s a vague “I’m getting on that flight” which is somehow required after the very intentional “I’m getting on that flight” of buying a ticket.

Well if I ever start a proggy math rock band I’ve got the name for it:

Nerdsnipe the polycule

@mattgrayyes maybe as a punk band.
Not sure why, but this sentence makes me want to slap people.

@mattgrayyes in the Tusky client Trending is for all mastodont instances. Or at least a lot of them.

If anyone has a service manual for an Epson TM-C3500 label printer I'd very much appreciate a copy please.
I bought one on eBay untested (with my fingers crossed) and it turns out it's not a happy bunny.

Print head is clogged, the printer has done the 5 head cleaning cycles it'll let you do and the screen says Service Mode. booo.

[edit: yes I’ve found all the other Googlable manuals. It’s the service manual I’m looking for]

@mattgrayyes what got it working in the end?

@ZahmbieND@hachyderm.io avatar

@mattgrayyes My workplace used to have a large format (3ft/~1m wide) inkjet from Epson that occasionally had streaking problems like this. If I remember correctly, we found that the streaks could be improved by pressing the nozzle against a paper towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol and letting it soak for a few hours, then running a nozzle cleaning cycle.

@mattgrayyes @thisisjofrank So people go camping to relax by checks notes fixing printer issues.

@mattgrayyes I wonder what happens if this printer got DDOSed, would it just need loads of paper?

There is a deer park in Eastnor and it is very muddy.
Very muddy.

@mattgrayyes you mean the Eastnor Mud Festival?

@pa3weg certainly more than one pair of trousers muddy.
It may be wellies muddy if there’s more rain.

I’m off to @emf tomorrow (early, to help with setup).
I’ve packed my dot matrix printer and continuous paper, ~10 game boys, and DECT handset.
I’m now sat with the sound of two 3D printers running and a floppy drive formatting one of many disks.

I should probably think about clothes and food.

zoey ,
@zoey@frogs.lgbt avatar

@mattgrayyes I've seen iOS read floppy disks before, they must've been formatted FAT32

@pa3weg@mastodon.social avatar

@mattgrayyes @emf Same think here, albeit with less cool gear. I need to still work until Wednesday and then i'm off catching the Eurostar to the UK. Hopefully I can find and charge the DECT before that, and pack some other stuff besides the tent.

For @emf, I’m making Mastodot, which in theory prints toots that are hashtagged for the event!

@mattgrayyes At least the toot printer at #GPN22 is working, blowing toots all over the hackcenter as they are written. (Some people try and catch their own toots here ^^)

I have no need for a ute
I have nowhere to store a ute
I would not use a ute if I got one.

But every time this car is relisted and I get a notification, I look at it and go ooooo. Beacause it's blue and derpy: my two favourite types of car.
