Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed “Launcher manager” and “Wolf launcher” to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn’t as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don’t remember anymore aside from the general impression). That’s a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.

Thanks for the response, that confirms my assumption, seems like I was configuring it right, but the behavior is not as expected.

• If HA is active/onscreen already, the command will do nothing.
• If HA is idle/offscreen, the command will bring HA to the forefront, but not change pages. (This is the state it is in after the “turn_off” sends the launcher intent.)
• If HA is off, the command will launch HA, and navgate to the correct page.

Is this all that is to be expected? or should I be able to get to the desired dashboard, from any previous screen or application state?

Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that “Y” support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous…

Ironically, the thing I’m printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!

After a college mead making experience that turned out terrible, I recently had a go at making T’ej . I haven’t the slightest clue if a regular mead drinker would say it tastes perfect, tastes like ass, or is somewhere in between, but I enjoy it!

I didn’t rack it, just went from the main fermentation carboy to bottles after letting it crash by pouring and stopping before too much sediment came out. I haven’t back-sweetened it but it’s still somewhat sweet and feels a hair like champagne, so I’m a bit afraid it’s going to slowly keep on fermenting in the fridge and carbonate a bit, but I’ll burp the bottles every once in a while so I can keep an eye on it.

Moral of the rambling story: I’m usually the kind of person that goes all out trying to do something the “right way”, and this looks like an excellent guide/summary of how to do that, but my laziness often wins out. In this case at least, I’ve found success doing the bare minimum. I am a bit curious to see how different it would taste following a more rigorous recipe :-)

Thanks for the post! I’ll probably reference this when my current supply runs out or explodes in the fridge!

That is awesome! Looks great!
