Don't forget the momentary feelings of depression when you start looking into a niche thing and you get overwhelmed by a desire to consume all content and realize there is not enough time in your life to truly give it the attention it deserves. And this makes you feel like I'm a way you're betraying the countless creators who came before you because you.

As a Bolt fan, a 22/23 premier euv with all the bells and whistles is surprisingly affordable with only a few caveats.

Caveat one is they're speed limited to 92MPH. Probably not an issue. Second is more important - a slow DCFC (DC fast charge). If you want to go on long road trips though it probably isn't the car for you. Something like a used Ioniq 6 might be a better fit.

One other benefit for road tripping - at least it's one I find to be a benefit, is the DCFC charging wait (for trips that can't be made on a single charge).

Growing up my family went on a lot of road trips and the emphasis was always on reducing time at stops. No time to relax, no time to use the restroom, no time to eat.

Charging gives an actual estimate on when you're road ready again, giving you real time where there is no thought in the back of your mind "I'm delaying our arrival".

Sure you can get cars with faster DCFC and we're getting to the point where charge time and refilling a tank are more or less the same. But I can enjoy the wait while I lasts.

I've been running Qwen 3.5 122B A10B but recently swapped to Qwen 3.6 35B A3B - both using OpenCode e as my agentic harness (though I've also used Pi). I've been happy with the output, though I have to be more precise with my prompts and do planning passes.

Definitely runnable without it.

I've only played Mothership for a oneshot (over multiple sessions) while waiting on a party member to become available.

We did not have TT/VTT. We had some visual aids, like the layouts of ships were sent in chat for us to look at. I don't think it really hampered the experience, and I have aphantasia so "theater of the mind" usually doesn't help me much lol. It was more than serviceable.

You're welcome! I had to pull the video off Twitter as well, any reason to give them less traffic is a good one.

This is what I do - well, I back up there entire container. But functionally the same.

There's only a few pieces of media that I have backed up manually due to their rarity, but even those I don't really care about.

Let's back up some - a free dynDNS provider would not cause connection issues, unless DNS resolution itself stopped working - which is unlikely. It sounds more like the Internet you're running off of itself has issues. What in particular is making you blame the dynDNS? Who is it?

To be fair, my night job is WFH and mostly passive (monitoring computers) so I usually only have about 1 hour of effort for the shift. Otherwise I would not be able to make that work ha.

I'm unsure, but I'm an avid user of Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi). Basically God's gift to Android. Would recommend giving it a look!

My first impression from the adhesion issue (which doesn't appear to be the main issue of this post) is that you may need to clean your build plate. But considering it was relatively good as it is, I assume you did and the few spots may just be accidental touches to the surface. In either case, their guide is here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/filament-acc/acc/pei-plate-clean-guide

As for the extrusion issue - considering the apparent randomness of it my guess would be either an issue with the filament or a partial clog.
