What’s the container’s name? I was about to get backblaze and then was frustrated at the cost difference between the desktop personal plan and the one for deploying on my server

Is there some good automated way of doing that? What would it look like, something that compares hashes?

Yeah, Romanian is so weird to me as a native Portuguese speaker - there are so many cognates. I am good friends with a Romanian family and when they talk all sorts of words are completely understandable coming from Portuguese…

In order of fluency (for languages spoken, although German was only studied and any fluency has rusted out):

Portuguese: Por Favor/Obrigado

English: Please/Thank you

Spanish: Por Favor/Gracias

Farsi: Lotfan/Merci (plus many more elaborate ways of thanking)

German: Bitte/Danke

For languages I don’t speak at all, but only know because of friends who are native speakers:

French: s’il vous plait/merci

Romanian: Va rog/multumesc

Italian: Per favore/Grazie

In case you haven’t heard, World of Goo 2 is just coming out! And like their other games, Linux is supported but you can also buy for direct download from them

Ha I like it. Yeah I skipped the underscore/hyphen for that reason.

Desktop: HAL9000

laptop: HALjr

Phone: HALnano

Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on… Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha

Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken…

Edit: I use Dave as the username, so that in the terminal it is dave@hal9000, which just seems appropriate

Fuck I just got rid of my 2008 BW laser brother and bought a new one that hasn’t arrived. Thanks for the warning, at least I will be able to set my firewall before I even connect it to my network

You just flipped that whole thing on its head pretty well… And also reminded me of one of two most cringiest times in my life where I misgendered someone. She worked at my local grocery shop and I had known her throughout her transition, but as an immigrant in Texas I was really keen on my “yes Ma’am” and " yes Sir" and I pulled out a “thank you sir” when visiting after a long time and she called me out on it as she should have… I felt like a dick, yet somehow did it again with a student of mine years later. I wish I had my wife’s excuse (she comes from a language that doesn’t have gendered pronouns and goes about her day confusedly dispensing he or shes in a totally random pattern 😂)

Not sure, but I think I know what you’re talking about… Have you checked SuperSlicer? I’m not saying they have a solution - hadn’t used it in years and just checked it out again recently. It’s a fork of PrusaSlicer that has a lot of advanced and niche tweaks. Just one example I noticed when I downloaded it recently: do you know about the floating hole issue for bolt inserts, where slicers just make bridged circles floating in air, and you have to do some hack with one layer thick square cutouts in the model to fix that? SuperSlicer has a built in option for it that just already slices that correctly - saw it in their release notes and tried it, worked great.

That is all to say, they have a lot of advanced tweaks for slicing issues, in the familiar package of Slic3r and PrusaSlicer UI, so might be worth checking it out

That’s nice to hear, especially the bit about never having to touch the manufacturer app! I never looked that much into Matter and was just trying to read up on it now. So I guess it’s an IP based protocol, but can work over multiple types of RF media? Like WiFi and Ethernet but also Bluetooth? And then I saw also on Thread, which opens up another can of worms for me.

I guess I gotta learn some more, it would be nice to not be limited to just zwave for having a consistent protocol across my devices (a choice I made without having as much knowledge years ago)

Oh, good to hear!

Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you’re live adjusting, so what I said doesn’t make a lot of sense

Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?

Yeah, a warm soapy wash is definitely a good step to include here. Let us know how it comes out

I was gonna say the z offset is too low, so the filament is getting squeezed around the nozzle and bunching up in those gobs. Did your adjustment work?

Oh lord, as someone teaching a bunch of technologically illiterate college students something that requires a lot less computer skills, teaching CAD to today’s high schoolers sounds rough. I am a millennial that started on DOS, and joke to them that back in my day, to play video games I had to climb uphill both ways in the snow, and, use a terminal lol. And funny that you mention your KDE setup, I use plasma and one of my first thoughts was “I bet there’s a KDE widget/applet for that” haha

Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven’t messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn’t noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn’t look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @anamethatisnt@lemmy.world suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don’t want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven’t started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That’s the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

If you use bitwarden as your password manager, it can also auto generate those for you when creating a login
