Install Klipper on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2
Running Klipper on your 3D printer requires a Linux server connected to your controller board. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is a great choice. It's tiny and uses hardly any power, which makes it easy to add to your build. If you don't mind the WiFi networking and have $15, pick one up and follow along to get it set up!

Can Snakes & Ladders last forever?
Several Christmases ago I found myself horribly bored. I was stuck at my mother-in-law's house. In the absence of anything else to do, my kids and I spent the morning playing Snakes & Ladders. They found it dull. I was about ready to jump through window just to escape one game that just never, *ever* seemed to end.

Childrens' Game to Punish PCs
Snakes and ladders is a boring game. But just how boring, exactly? Is it possible to bore a computer so much that it self-destructs? Let's try it and find out...
