Eight years of organizing tech meetups

This is a collection of random personal experiences. So if you don't want to read everything, feel free to skip to the end for takeaways. I write because I'd like to see more high-quality meetups. And maybe my little bit of experience will help someone out. 2015: Philadelphia I...

3 months ago
About 1.5 years ago I ventured into 3D printing by building a VORON Trident. It was a very fun project and I’ve even used the printer quite a bit. Naturally, I had to build another one and this time I opted for the cute VORON 0. Why another printer? I really like my VORON Trident...

The left POM nut got ground down, making the bed fall down. After 600 hours, the printer met it’s first major failure. I know I earlier described how the extruder starter skipping in a big way, but that was just some filament getting stuck in the extruder. This time a part...

Why Debian/Ubuntu Linux is to be preferred

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
There are many Linux distributions around. However, I always come back to just one: Debian. The reason why so many people use Debian is the same reason I like it so much: software management.  With good old apt-get or the new aptitude, software is installed within minutes. Due to...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
