What's your opinion about adding chicory to coffee?
  • There used (1970s maybe) to be a brand called Camp in the UK which I think was a blend of coffee and chicory as a liquid that you added hot water to. Awful stuff as I remember it. It may still be sold there for all I know.

  • How to save an old printer from the e-waste pile with a Raspberry Pi
  • Thanks. I have hplip installed on my Pi (version 3.21.2) and my printer is listed as being supported on the hplip support page. That page says Support Level is "Full" and Connectivity is "USB, Network". So it seems that this should work; also the printer works fine over USB to my Windows laptops.

    hplip seems to provide a number of command line commands with names like hp-probe and hp-firmware. I have not been able to get any of them to work over USB though; usually they return a message "Warning: No devices found on the 'usb' bus".

    Do you mean that "proprietary firmware" is needed to make the printer work with Linux?

  • How to save an old printer from the e-waste pile with a Raspberry Pi
  • Good work. I tried to do similarly with a HP CP1025nw (roughly 10 years old), which has become unreliable with Windows 11. But although I connected the printer to the Pi (I used a model 3B) with a USB cable, CUPS does not appear to see the "usb://....." connection string. CUPS does allow me to connect to the printer wirelessly, with a connection string that begins "dnssd://....".

    So I have it working wirelessly but I was hoping to get it using USB since I suspect that would be more reliable.

    I'm wondering why your Pi allows the "usb://....." method, but mine does not.

  • After 48 years, Zilog finally discontinues the Z80
  • Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.

  • Does anybody dislike anime and manga?
  • I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.

    I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.

  • Old vs New Layout 😱 | Singapore Track Guide
  • Good to see those corners gone, they contributed nothing to the racing. In 2013 I had a ticket for the grandstand there and only used it for 20 minutes of FP1: you got to see each car for about 6 seconds, absolutely useless. I happily gave up the seat and just watched the rest of the weekend from various standpoints around other parts of the track.
