I've just done a full upgrade of my laser-cutter laptop from #DebianBookworm to #debian13trixie and it went pretty well - I'm flexing the current lack of #brainfog while it lasts! You always expect some wrinkles with big updates like this, but the only thing that looks like it broke and needed manual intervention to fix was a Python #virtualenv that I use for running #svg2gcode and some scripts I've built around it. There's not much in the venv, so it was easy to just re-create, and for future me, I've made a list of the installed packages so if I ever need to do it again, it'll be easier. Going to run with this for a while before I tackle my main laptop, and later, my wife's - you'd never believe the SLAs in the contract for THAT support gig! At least she's finished her dissertation now, so the pressure is somewhat lower.

Testing some #LaserCut #LED illuminated letter bunting I designed in #Inkscape and cut in my laser cutter using #svg2gcode and #grblhud. This time in trying out "micro led" string lights. Not sure I like the way this batch of birch ply lets the light from individual LEDs leak through though. Might have to put something on the back too stop that. The fronts aren't glued on at this stage hence why there is some leakage around the joints.
