Getting Cert Info From Host

An OpenSSL command to retrieve the cert chain from a host and parse out the CN and expiry info

IBC Pumpkin

We are using the cage from an IBC tote for firewood, so there’s a spare large plastic square. We got some RGB solar lights to put inside & cut out shapes from a black plastic garbage bag. The shapes are adhered to the tote with rubber cement. When lit up, we’ve got a jack-o-lantern.

Ender 6

We finally have the Ender 6 printing – you need to keep the fan on any time the hot end is heating (or it clogs up), low retraction (2mm), and adjust the z offset as it prints the skirt (or brim, we’ve switched to using a brim to ensure adhesion)

River Trail

I took the Ryobi cutter along the river and found a Ranger-sized path. We got a tree puller, and have started clearing out the smaller trees by popping them out of the ground. Very fun!
