Sixteen Years of Python Performance
I build and benchmarked 17 versions of Python against each other so that you don't have to. Let's compare the performance of every Python version from 2.6 all the way to almost-released 3.13. Spoiler, it's great!

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!

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...
