What do you do with the fountain pens? Write/journal? Or do you more enjoy inking them etc?

Ooh, I love how your prompt looks in your terminal. How did you make it look like that? (I didn’t see anything in the alacritty yaml)

Edit: never mind, just saw that you already shared your Starship config. Thanks for sharing!

Yes

Agreed! Just beware that the Amazon Basics ones used to be awesome (black or grey ones) but the new ones (green) are garbage. I have some of the older ones that are 8 years old and still going strong, where as the new ones wouldn’t hold a charge after about a year of use.

I recently bought some Panasonic eneloop ones and although they are more expensive they seem to be much higher quality.

“I’ve been using vim for 15 years!.. Because I can’t figure out how to close it.”

People have made the same recommendations here already but I’ll throw my opinion in: the two I always recommend are the Ender (V2 or S1) and the Prusa (Mk4 or the Mini)

If you’re unsure about how much you’ll use it or if you’re on a budget get the Ender.

But if you’re confident this is something you’ll use a lot and you can afford it get the Prusa.

The Prusa has just too many nice features to ignore, their support is amazing, and their upgrade path makes it something you can (likely) keep upgrading as new features come out.

For example I have a Mk3 and I have the upgrade kit to make it a Mk3s+. And now that the Mk4 is out there’s upgrade kits to make it a 3.5, 3.9, or a 4. They’re really great about trying to keep your printer as feature rich as possible without having to buy a whole new one.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen “3D Printer” on here yet!

A serial hobbyist, with a lot of my interests waning in weeks to months after getting into them. But 3D Printing? I’ve been loving it for 10 years and there’s no signs of that slowing down.

Sure there’s goofy stuff you can make with it, but 95% of what I print are functional items. So often I need something for around the house and I can just print for cheaper and faster than ordering one online. Examples:

• vaccum hose adapter
• desk grommet
• custom clamp for a bike light
• small L-brackets for cupboard shelves

There’s thousands of things out there you can just download and print, or you can get into designing your own. It’s very rewarding to design a physical object and then upload it for others to use too!

Here’s some examples of some things I’ve designed or remixed from other designs: https://www.printables.com/@Foreverwinter_223629

The two printers I recommend are the Prusa Mk4 (~$1,000USD) or the Creality Ender-3 V2 ($225USD). The Ender print quality is very good, it just doesn’t come with several of the very nice features the Prusa has - if you can afford it get the Prusa! You won’t regret it.
