i found the need to make a filament tracker in a spreadsheet... i want a rough estimate of how much filament i have left in a roll so i can plan how many prints i have left. i'm rounding up to the nearest gram on each print so i'll always have some left over to account for whatever waste when swapping filaments, etc. that way i can get the most out of roll, i feel! also, it'll be nice to track my prints in general.

i'm using the filament id to be able to input it as shorthand and calculate it with =(G3-SUMIF($PrintLog.C:C,A3,$PrintLog.D:D))

a list of filaments i own and how much is left in each one in libreoffice calc (open source excel)a list of prints with a date, description, filament id, gram usage, and notes

Ah yes, because nothing screams "basic test" like dragging into a designed for kindergartners. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Apparently, "if-else" wasn't enough of a brain teaser, so let's throw in some sine waves just to flex those over-engineering muscles. πŸ™ƒ

Sometimes I design stuff just to see if I can. This is a test print for the air hockey kit's gift box. The curved piece is a compliant spring that holds the table in the box by its legs The grey piece is one corner of the box, enough to test mating with the spring and fit and tension. They're all good (2nd iteration).

I can see three cardboard boxes from my desk that would do this job just fine.

As described in the toot text.  Looking up at the underside of the air hockey table, the leg at one corner is held between the corner of the partial box and the compliant spring.  The spring is S shaped and has end caps that fit the inside of the leg.As described in the toot text.  Two 3D printed curved compliant springs.  One has been slid into a slot in the test piece that represents one corner of the gift box.

πŸ™„ Deploying a distributed system on with is clearly the latest revelation in over-engineering. Because why NOT spend hours fiddling with Terraform scripts to achieve what your current stack already does, but with 70% less cost and 100% more headache. πŸš€πŸŒ©οΈ

GitHub's latest opus is here to redefine your understanding of over-engineered nonsense: behold the "Indexed deduplicated binary storage" for your woes. 🀯 Apparently, they've discovered that storing data the way everyone does is "sick", so grab your AI Copilot and prepare for a quantum leap in unnecessary complexity! πŸš€πŸ™„

They say if it's worth engineering, it's worth over-engineering.

My home network is living proof. Just spent four hours unraveling why Jellyfin wasn't working. What was it? A chain reaction of cert-manager issues, all thanks to misconfigured RBAC, which then required updating Flux, tweaking Helm charts, and finally coaxing Traefik. All this for a media server! And honestly, this is a simplified version of my setup.

Sometimes, I think we just love the challenge.
