Wide awake nightmare: A terrible thing you have to live with, you can't just wake up from it.
As in the line from the MST3k episode The Scream Skull, "This is Micky, Micky is a wide awake nightmare."

Congrats! This one came a day ahead of the original estimate. I wish you the same fortune.
I used to joke that if people didn't eat the gummy bears per the instructions their first layer calibration would take 10 extra tries. Now that there's no first layer calibration that won't work.
It's among several good options right now, we've entered a new era for fast, high quality home 3d printing. I got the MK4 because I'm already in the Prusa ecosystem, I expect (from experience) that this machine should just work for many years, and I know that if it doesn't Prusa's support is the much better than most companies at the price point. Additionally, I have some specific applications in mind that I think their "Nextruder" and load sensor will excel at.
That said, Prusa is trying to hurriedly catch up to recent competition and they have shipped a somewhat incomplete printer (at least in terms of firmware). If you want a full look at current state of the MK4 this Tom Sanladerer video is going to be better at it than I am.
Having just restored a Pop_OS machine I'm starting to give a real hard look at NixOS. Every time I had install a package or make changes (that I end up making on all of my workstations) I kept thinking, "this could all be defined in a single config and I could be done by now..."
My last couple computers have never been sullied by Windows (or "secure" boot).
I just ordered an additional 12TB drive for my NAS because the 12TB of usable space I currently have on it is nearly full. Plus all of that data has multiple backups - I consider 3-2-1 to be a minimal backup strategy.
OP, you may want to venture over to !datahoarder@lemmy.ml
Sadly color laser printers with a good color reproduction and a full color wheel are still selling for 5 figures. And companies are starting to shut down home laser printer lines because shipping around containers full of microplasics is becoming a PR issue.
If I'm indoors with people other than immediate family, I'm wearing a mask.
I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.
Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.
My 3rd arrives on Thursday. You?
I'd say for people new to the hobby the best choices at $1000 (or a little under) are the Prusa MK4 and the Bamboo Lab P1S. The former say they're focusing on quality (with speed as a side-effect) and user support, while the later is focused speed. The Prusa is also a little bit cheaper if you buy it as a kit. And building your own printer with Prusa's excellent, constantly refined, instructions is a great way to really get to know your printer.
At the ~$500 level is the Creality K1 which I don't know much about. Creality printers tend to be hit-or-miss though, and don't expect support outside of other people on the internet.
Another printer you'll hear about is the Voron, but that's not really for beginners.
