A password manager.

I found KeePassx while exploring replacing Firefox, and when looking at replacing web browser components. I wanted something cross-platform and open source.

Tiko is a unibody 3d printer which I backed.

To get this working, I had to really push hard to get the filament to load. This was a frustrating first experience. I was then entirely unimpressed with the quality of its prints, even after a lot of fiddling.

Later, when I returned to use it, it seems that filament has snapped off inside it, and it thinks its loaded and will not load new filament. Heating does not remove it. I fiddled a lot, once more.. I’m giving up on it, it’s garbage.

I did end up fixing it.. after giving it away.

See Tiko first impressions. It fails, hard.

Rather old, but still awesome.

A filesystem I use because of checksumming and de-duplication.

Very good, although I’ve had a sketchy history with it. I’ve used multiple versions of it, sometimes mounting the same partition with different versions of it.

I stopped using it because I lost trust in its reliability.
