Tai Lam in Science

I believed I would have to make a “sign” from a PNG screenshot, convert it into an SVG, and lastly create an STL file for 3D printing.

However, I realized I can simply add custom fonts into Bambu Studio.

This was originally written on November 7, 2025.

So I was wondering about 3D resin printing, as I saw a video from 3D Printing Nerd.

(Random: I think Joel of 3D Printing Nerd is basically like Markiplier in 3D printing, with some of Mark's hyperactivity toned down.)

I need to figure out how to reasonably deal mail and deliveries privately.

How it started

I donated to a local nonprofit in 2024, and I really shouldn't say this, but I honestly wish I never did. However, this is not due to a reason you probably expect.

I started to receive significantly more junk mail from charitable nonprofits and groups, more so than usual (at least since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic). I won't name specific names, but this was a local nonprofit which has a total annual budget size between the order of $1 million and $10 million.

There was a guide from early 2023 on what to change in the default KDF settings of Bitwarden.

I think I'm overthinking this. I think I'll follow the instructions for Secure Boot for the Linux Surface project and see how that goes.

About three days ago, I was reading federal government online sources about online job scams.

eBay is sometimes tedious to deal with. I use the site to buy electronic parts for repair, but some aspects of the site are annoying to deal with.

There probably hasn't been much concrete and confirmed info about the upcoming Virgo laptop from System76. There's some more, but I wanted to get into the basics, and then I can follow up later, as this will be out of date anyways once Virgo is officially released.

Here are some links regarding the COSMIC desktop environment (DE) from System76 and desktop apps being designed with the COSMIC framework in mind.

I'm saving links I'll use for editing videos with Ffmpeg.
