 @Infinidoge okay, someone really should have put in some sort of guardrail like “don’t print the entire roll of receipt paper!?!” @JoscelynTransient The receipt printer was doing merely exactly as it was told, guard rails are an exercise left up to the developer :) That said, this was only like 1/3rd of the roll max. If you want a whole roll printed at once I'd have to post the time I printed Bad Apple on a receipt  @tarneo The receipt printer has been worth every penny, and it has done absolutely nothing serious since the day I got it. We'll see if I infect another with the joys of eBay receipt printers :blobfoxgooglymlem:  The only thing that stops me is the BPA argument stuff that always goes back and forth. But I do want one... @shaknais @Infinidoge This Tuesday I actually printed a list of all my music favorites and playlists just to have a paper backup. I do things like this every once in a while, the only issue is I'm using a 1982 sharp CE-125 that prints one line in two or three seconds (thankfully controlled by an arduino). I have also printed 2fa codes and little papers with my email address for when I take photographs at events. @shaknais @Infinidoge So printing the entire nix store would take absolute ages for me, and the printer really is not silent... @tarneo @shaknais Yeah the entire nix store would definitely be something. The receipt printer would definitely make it shockingly quick though, probably up to half an hour if you have a giant Nix store. Aside, it's pretty neat that you print your music out to have a backup, I just backup my Jellyfin and hope all of my data doesn't get destroyed at once lol @Infinidoge @shaknais I actually do it the other way around too: every last day of the month, I take pictures of my (paper) daily journal to have it backed up too. This way hackers and fire would have to unite if they really wanted me to lose my stuff :-) @Infinidoge @shaknais And I still have the project of making a selection of my pictures since I've started taking them (3 years ago) and printing them. In the meantime I have them backed up on cold storage (oh, and tape too actually !) @tarneo @shaknais My handwriting is abysmal so I never manage to keep a physical journal for long, and even then I can't read it back later lmao Very neat though! I trust my computers a lot more than the average person it seems. Especially since I got backups. Treat the machine spirits well and they reward you with more computer mana @alanxoc3 @Infinidoge Fedi nerds will soon represent the majority of the thermal printing market @Infinidoge haha, cool   @Infinidoge I'm like a young child at the dinner table laughing because I know a really funny joke was made but I haven't a scooby-doo what the joke actually is. (no need to explain. It's an essential stage in the learning) Nix is a package manager, which installs all software to a big library called the Nix Store, at That and receipt printers are so much more fun to own than anyone would expect  @ampersine Tbh that would actually be pretty reasonable if I can make it print the closure diff. Idea for later.   @dragoniff2 I'm optimizing for something, not quite sure what yet. Certainly not least time spent tinkering. @yellow I think I can manage to print more receipts :) If you have any silly ideas feel free to send them my way, I'll be messing with it more after finals week (and probably during finals week, we'll see) :)   @Infinidoge This reminds me of when I worked as student helper as the computer lab in college and the ones in BASIC were learning to send print jobs. @Infinidoge you can manage your package preventing from damage while shipping with only a few ones of these  |
