  • I also have a DTSE9 and it’s been on my keychain for at least 10 years now :D

    Recently I have just gotten 2 nvme ssd enclosures and have been very happily using them for the super quick image writes. I just checked if there’s some compact 2230 enclosures and some of those even have keychain attachment points… they definitely are a bit bulky for a keychain but I’d argue they still are an option and will look similar to a keyfob :)














  • Thanks for the input!
    So the thing I was trying to print was this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6365845
    Ideally you’d just print it in PLA but I only had one colour PLA so I thought, might as well gather some PETG printing experience :D
    The part in question is red_panda_low_poly_V1_-_head_A_red.STL and I tried to print it on an odd angle to make sure that most of the outwards facing walls were on the top, because anything that needed support turned out so hideous.

    Also it seems to appear on any side of the model, where you have a slight overhanging angle, in no particular axis :)

    I’ll print it in pla once my current print is done :D





  • Hey, not sure how in depth your linux/docker knowledge is. Please disregard if irrelevant. I would recommend you pick a fixed mountpoint for the drive and set up a systemd service to mount the drive for you (systemd .mount file). Then you add an extra line “RequiredBy=docker.service” (look for systemd RequiredBy) This way the drive always has to be mounted by the system before docker is started and should always be visible before you start a container.

    Hope this helps :)



  • Honestly my recommendation would be to start off with some microcontrollers/Raspberry Pi and some breadboards and go from there. That way you can uhhh trial and error your way to something that works and worry about the “engineering” part later, when you have gotten your feet wet :D There are some simple Arduino starter kits for example that give you the basic things + a bunch of sensors and motors to play with. I got started myself with the Elegoo Arduino Starter Kit (~50€). Along the way it’s probably going to be helpful to look up some course on electronics basics, specifically digital circuits and then analog circuits if you’re feeling adventurous.
