You can write GPL rust code, you can also write non-gpl rust code. Gnu coreutils are gpl, if I choose to write functionality compatible with coreutils from scratch in rust I can relicense that as I please (ie not GPL) OP is postulating the driver behind rust rewrites is not for the language features but to allow coreutils functionality to be relicensed as closed source software.

    I've wanted to for years. I've tried to multiple times. Like I love computers and programming I can get absolutely lost in code for hours. For whatever reason when I start to look at networking my brain switches off and says nope. I can clean enough to hack what I need for the most part, but of I strive for any depth of knowledge on the subject my brain shuts down.

    Hoping this article is the ticket.

    More me being nosy than anything, I was thinking I've not seen much from GreatAlbatross or Emperor in a while and noticed Emperor hasn't posted in 6 months or so and Albatross is no longer listed as an admin. (If you've departed folks, thank you for everything - you resurrected feddit.uk when all hope was lost!)

    Does that mean flamingos is the only active admin? Is there a backup plan if (heavens forbid) flamingos gets hit by a bus?

    Also just generally curious if there's any instance news or plans going forward.

     

    First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.

    Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:

    Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.

    Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.

    I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.

    It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.

    I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.

    Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.
