This is a sequel of my post about diagnosing 3D print quality when printing with Octoprint. Now that we have a working theory for the reduced print quality, the next step was to know for sure when the problem was occurring. If I could have the printer tell me when…

I was tasked to debug some network stack issues last week at work which required intercepting wireless traffic at the router. Previously, I would use my Macbook to share internet through an Ethernet port, and then open a Wireshark session…
I needed a way to simulate out of order packets in order to try to reproduce an issue I've been seeing at work, and I figured out a fairly simple way that only involves ipfw which is built-in on 10.…
