3d printer is almost complete. Spent weeks on/off setting it up, measuring, lubricating, re-measuring, searching for lost pieces, calibrating, re-lubricating. It's getting to the point where I might now even be able to start actually attaching computer hardware to it.

Started also making my own local LLM as work forced copilot on us. I resisted using it for anything other than code completion, since coding is my bread and butter, but after running late on a slew of deadlines I thought I would just try it out, and... wow yeah, I was impressed and my job suddenly became way less stressful ^[read: the inertia of jumping from one task to another, and getting up to speed on a project is now gone - I'm flying (until I'm replaced...)].

Using copilot at work makes sense, since it's all corporate nonsense, but I dont want to use it on my home projects, so I'm putting together my own tiny LLM rig based on a Jeff Geerling post
