Yep, tried those too. I do appreciate the suggestion though, truly. It’s just not something I’m cut out for it would seem. I really do need to look at selling my printers and getting out of the hobby. It was fun for a while, now it’s just a chore. Which is probably why I haven’t done it in 2+ years, lol.

Yeah I went through his channel too but something about it just doesn’t seem compatible with my brain, lol. Like I said, I really should just sell my printers. They haven’t been used in 2+ years and are just sitting here taking up space and collecting dust.

This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.

I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet. Or was I suppose…

I went a little crazy on 3d printing during covid. I had a single printer prior but purchased two more. I haven’t printed on ANY of them in like 2 years. I end up just printing stupid shit or because I go so long between printing wasting way too much time to get everything dialed back in. Now I don’t even know what my slicing settings were and I would have to probably start from scratch. I should probably just sell my printers…

This article is short on details but what I really want to know is WHERE is that data coming from and how the fuck does United have access to it?! Also, a follow-up question would be how does one ensure they don’t get access to that data? Is that even possible anymore?

I had that happen for a while too, somehow it thought I was using it too much or something that wasn’t for personal use. You can request a whitelist if you are so inclined. The process was pretty simple: https://anydesk.com/en/whitelist-request

After I did that I haven’t seen that pop back up in over a year.

The one I got my wife a month ago is doing great! It has like 6 flowers blooming right now and another handful about to. These things are so fucking cool!

I have them in all my cars and hard-wired in. $100 is cheap insurance.

I got mine yesterday! It had a very, very slight glow last night. I’m hoping once we re-pot it and fertilize it the glow will get brighter.

Typically, very little. I have ~40 containers in my Docker stack and by in large it just works. I upgrade stuff here and there as needed. I am getting ready to do a hardware refresh but again with Docker that’s pretty painless.

Most of the time spent in my lab is trying out new things. I’ll find a new something that looks cool and go down the rabbit hole with it for a while. Then back to the status quo.

This looks amazing! Going to play with it tonight. Thanks!!

Really glad I made the transition from ESXi to Docker containers about a year ago. Easier to manage too and lighter on resources. Plus upgrades are a breeze. Should have done that years ago…

lol I love it. You’d think by now people/companies would be aware of this…

Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I’d love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.

No reason why not. May be a little power-hungry depending on the spec but if you already have it go for it. FreeNAS (now TrueNAS) is the usually suggested OS to run: https://www.truenas.com/freenas/

Since you have 4 HDD slots probably run 4 disks in a RAID 5 so think of how much space you need. RAID 5 is n-1 so if you have 4x 10TB drives you will be left with 30TB of space before formatting. You can calculate here: https://www.raid-calculator.com/

Then either mirror the SSDs for OS and caching or just use one. Depends on your budget really.

That’s the neat part, you don’t. That’s a feature not a bug.

I was a huge supporter of Netflix when it launched. Easy to use, affordable, and lots of selection. As the streaming service has splintered and shows disappear without warning I find myself back on the high seas.

As Gabe once said:

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue,

If you make it harder to stream and keep up with what’s where then piracy it’s no surprise people will ultimately choose the latter. Though the price thing has gotten crazy too. Multiple streaming services can now equal or eclipse cable TV prices… And yeah, you can come and go but again that comes back to the service issue. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to have to evaluate monthly which streaming services I need then drop the ones I don’t and add the ones I do.

Nightly backups to an on-prem NAS. Then an rsync to a second off-site NAS at my folks house.

I miss my old 1999 Grand Marquis. Plenty of power, stupid easy to work on, rode like a dream, no tech bullshit. Fuel mileage was pretty crappy (owing to the V8 and curb weight) but it was a solid car. I largely drive cars until the die (did with that one too) and am thinking forward I may do the same and try to find older vehicles.

Heh I was also on Google domains before they announced they were selling it. I don’t know what the hell possessed me to register domains with Google. They have a very well documented history of killing off great services. https://killedbygoogle.com/
