Upgrading from an unsupported version of Ubuntu (23.10) to 24.04LTS - what could POSSIBLY go wrong ? See you in about an hour for a progress update :P

Having some infra issues here - as a result, 3d printing feed is down :(

I'm finding myself using Gemini so much more than ChatGPT these days - I find it a lot more powerful and seemingly can do stuff that ChatGPT can't (like summarise Youtube videos).

Rebuilding brakes...

Hey @aptshadow.bsky.social - just read Elder after reading Alien Clay. Was the former used as influence for the latter ? There are some parallels that were kinda interesting to read !

We need a whole new channel for this methinks :P

Before and after. This SINGLE rear brake setup took me 2 hours to replace. I made sure the retaining springs were put on straight after taking the picture as I noticed they were missing. Will do the other next weekend, then I'll be replacing the whole front brake setup (discs, pads, calipers).

Bought a cheap brake bleeder from Amazon cos don't want to spend the money on the decent expensive one... turns out cheap brake bleeder is shite (who knew ?). So have now also spent the money on the expensive one. Buy cheap, buy twice - rip my wallet :(

Now I remember why I don't use the K3... #3dprinting

I designed and 3d printed a mount to hold a new fuel pressure regulator in the engine bay of my MGB GT. If it wasn't for 3d printing I'd have had to have got it manufactured by another company, whereas it took me about 30 minutes to design and print out :P

OK, so I added the ability to have "blocked terms" to the #3dprinting feed. If there's a term you feel needs to be blocked, please give me a shout.

Just opened up one of my cars to fix something on it, while I was doing so I decided to put a humidifier into it - 61% humidity inside the car. It's practically raining in my Subaru.

HAH ! I'm Acorn Electron old - which came out 3 months after I was born.

Where have all my programs gone ? @batarong.com This made me laugh so much, and I needed that :D
