Ask Jesse Campbell http://www.askjbc.com Ask Jesse Campbell What's the best way in your opinion to generate 3D models for 3d printing? http://www.askjbc.com/q=32 September 18 2022, 3:41 PM EST OpenSCAD is a great, powerful tool for making 3D models for anyone with some programming/scripting experience. How is your income split up? All coming from one company you work for? Different freelancing Jobs? Teaching? Etc.? http://www.askjbc.com/q=31 September 18 2022, 3:38 PM EST Mainly selling on ebay currently. However, I've made most income over my career from working as Web Developer for a single employer.

Some inkjet printers can be configured to have nearly unlimited ink using a continuous ink supply system (CISS). Search keywords, "epson ciss". Epson has models that use 4 colors of dye sublimation ink: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Search keywords: "epson ink refill". Ink refills cost around $30 for a full set. Those are cheaper than using 6 colors printers. These Epson printers can be flushed with special cleaning fluid. Search keywords "Printhead Cleaning Kit Printer Flush Kit". The printer I use is an Epson Workforce 2760. If you search on Ebay or Amazon, you will find similar printers. Epson has their own version CISS called eco tank. They are more expensive than a CISS kit. One downside of some CISS is that if there is a power outage, the system must be reset using a button to simulate changing the cartridges. Is there an easy way to test whether router port forwarding is working correctly? http://www.askjbc.com/q=29 July 30 2022, 8:44 PM EST Yes, set up the port so that it forwards to your computer LAN IP address. Run the program "netcat" with arguments "-l [PC port]" so it listens on that port. (Netcat can be downloaded on Windows using Cygwin). Then run another instance of netcat and connect to the Internet IP address: "nc [your WAN IP] [your WAN port]". If port forwarding is working, you can type text into the client and see it on server. How can I build an MP3 library by recording Shoutcast/Icecast streams (Internet radio stations)? http://www.askjbc.com/q=28 July 28 2022, 2:47 PM EST Download and run Streamripper: streamripper.exe [stream URL] --xs2 -d [save folder] -m 1200 -o alwaysFind music you like on Icecast Directory Is there a way to keep the rear wheel nuts in the correct position even after jumping off a ramp or a curb? Landing is hard on the rear wheel which makes it move forward and loosens the chain tension. http://www.askjbc.com/q=27 July 25 2022, 9:38 PM EST Yes, you can install rear axle tensioners on the rear bolts. Cheap type: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832780835077.htmlBetter type: https://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Chain-Tension-Adjuster-Black/dp/B001GPJY1O/ Take off the rear nuts, install the tensioners between the threads and the nuts. Tighten the tensioner so that the chain has reasonable tension. Then screw the rear axle nuts back on. The tensions hold the wheel against the frame so it can't slide forward.

What's the fastest way to join a bunch of mp3s together? For example, you're converting a PDF or TXT to an audiobook using many text-to-speech threads. http://www.askjbc.com/q=25 June 02 2022, 9:09 PM EST You can just append the binary files together then use a program such as mp3val (free program) to fix the mistakes. You won't be able to hear the difference. This method is much faster than joining mp3 files in a standard way. What is your take on privacy? Google Drive and OneDrive or your own little home server? I think with the possibilities to make a NextCloudPi with nearly zero experience, everyone should at least consider having all the power over their data. http://www.askjbc.com/q=24 May 25 2022, 9:09 PM EST I use Google Drive for Google Docs. My little home server hosts a lot of different types of files: video DVR for ATSC, FiOS, security cameras, etc. How hard is it to get a license to transmit amateur radio? How much does it cost? http://www.askjbc.com/q=23 May 21 2022, 9:49 PM EST It takes about 1-2 weeks to study the questions. There are three difficulty levels that determine your rank as an amateur radio operator. The passing score is forgiving so you can get some wrong. It's $15. It allows you to transmit over the radio pretty far away depending on your equipment and antenna. You don't need a license to receive radio signals. You can receive using a device such as the HackRF software-defined radio. Is it possible to intercept SSL connections on your own computer or server to see what traffic they contain? http://www.askjbc.com/q=22 May 21 2022, 9:47 PM EST Yes, using mitmproxy: https://mitmproxy.org/.

Is it possible to sniff network traffic that's running through localhost (127.0.0.1) and doesn't travel over the network? http://www.askjbc.com/q=21 May 21 2022, 9:46 PM EST Yes it is, on Windows: https://www.netresec.com/?page=RawCap Why didn't you name this web app askjc.com? http://www.askjbc.com/q=20 May 21 2022, 9:50 PM EST It's already taken and sounds like asking Jesus Christ, which is beyond my expertise. How can you run most Linux programs on Windows, including GUI programs? http://www.askjbc.com/q=19 May 21 2022, 9:46 PM EST Cygwin and Cygwin-X What happened to questions #3 and #6 to #12? http://www.askjbc.com/q=18 May 20 2022, 6:25 PM EST This app runs MySQL database and ID's are not reusable. Those first questions were test junk and I deleted them. I might make it so that the question number is an incremented integer instead of using the MySQL autoincrement id primary key. Question # may change in the future versions. Are you a happy Linux user? What distro do you prefer as a daily driver? What makes you have to run Windows? Sorry that was 3 questions :D http://www.askjbc.com/q=17 May 20 2022, 6:27 PM EST I'm a happy Windows user who sometimes uses Linux. I wait a while before upgrading between versions of Windows: XP -> 7 -> 10.I took the Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate exam on CentOS but now I also use Ubuntu/Debian because CentOS is being retired by Redhat. My router is running OPNSense which is based on FreeBSD.Some programs exist in Windows that are difficult to reproduce in Linux. It doesn't really matter that much given virtual machines are very good and hardware is fast. Linux has more features possible, but also more that can go wrong. I prefer to have Windows as the host and Linux on a guest VM.Thanks for reminding me to turn off all the server details in the http response header.
