  On iOS I’ve been using Vinegar - Tube Cleaner by developer And a Dinosaur. It doesn’t replace YouTube as a whole - only the video player. Better interface, no ads.

  Could you provide a source for this claim? Not doubting you but I haven’t seen it.

  That’s great! I’ll give it a go again soon.

  Whilst this is fair criticism, I was responding to complaints about the UX in other CADs.

  Yeah I’ve been meaning to try FreeCAD in anger but every time I try it out I find it clumsy, awkward and limited. I’m hoping the new organisation will allow them to get more funding, I’d really love an actually good open source CAD.

  Thanks for the detailed report! 💪

  That’s on the free license. Fusion360, to which this thread is offering an alternative, has the same limitation.

  I found Onshape to be quite nice. It was relatively easy to translate skills from Fusion to it after a few YouTube videos.

  An algorithm, among the many other things they ruin

  What a joke! How about talking about the good things algorithms do, like everything a computer does?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

  A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inline filament drying prototype⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.

  Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inline filament drying prototype⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was pretty common knowledge that these dryers lack airflow. There are tons of printable wedges in printables.com and thingiverse.com to keep the lid open.

  This alone speeds up drying massively. Adding a small fan to the opening might be even better but I never found it necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you model complex curves?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would get a CAD model of the PS5, import it into fusion and design the part around it either by extruding to it or using it as a cut tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why has Firefox not removed third-party cookies, despite the fact that Chrome has begun phasing them out?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  3rd party cookies make tracking users easier when the same cookie can be used on many websites.

  Firefox does 2 things to protect you from that: it blocks known trackers cookies by default; and for the others it isolates them per domain so that kind of tracking doesn’t happen. That ensures you’re not tracked and at the same time it doesn’t break any functionality.

  If you want to completely block them you can. There’s more info here: …mozilla.org/…/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracki…

  I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.

  I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I really wish Proxmox had an official Terraform provider⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started writing a Terraform provider for Proxmox a while ago.

  Unfortunately, the API is a massive mess and the documentation is not very helpful either. It was a nightmare and I eventually gave up.

  I assure you I’m not trolling. I understand what you’re saying, I just find your confusion … confusing.

  It’s no worry though, I guess we just have such different ways to see the world and things that we can’t reconcile them. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. This is a bizarre exchange. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you think coffee is made? You infuse water with coffee beans, normally ground. How strong your coffee is depends on the concentration of actual coffee vs. the “base” (water). It’s the same with tea.

  Black coffee can be an espresso, or something with more water. Generally speaking, an espresso is more concentrated (and thus stronger) than an Americano.

  A 300ml Americano with 1 shot of espresso has a certain coffe-to-water ratio. A 300ml Americano with 2 shots of espresso will have 2x as much coffee content despite it having the same volume.

  In any case, an Espresso is mostly water, even the strongest, tinture-level ones. It’s made by literally passing hot water through the beans so the water gets infused with coffee oils and alkaloids. It’s mostly water. In fact, it’s nearly all water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Black coffee is still mostly water. Also, if you add water to whatever you call black coffee, it’s still black coffee, because it’s mostly water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this all assumes it’s going to be mixed with some “base”, like milk or water

  As opposed to what? Dry crushed/ground coffee beans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s 83. Definitely old but I wouldn’t write him off anytime soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Strange New Worlds has been quite good tbh.

  Picard has its moments as well. It’s more valuable as a TNG revival than as a whole new ST work but it’s not bad, especially the last season.

  Discovery is one of the worst sci-fi ever produced though, so definitely stay away from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NASA Successfully Tests Revolutionary Rocket That Could Get Us to Mars Faster⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, no need to be sorry. I appreciate the search for correctness and especially the reference document.

  Here’s what I’ve found.

  There is no mention of km/h in section 4, “Non-SI units that are accepted for use with the SI”. It does mention h, making it a “non-SI unit that’s accepted for use with the SI.”

  km/h is its own unit separate from h. It’s a unit of speed, derived from km and h.

  My gut feel at this point is that km/h could be an SI unit since it’s a unit of speed derived from an SI unit for distance and a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI for time.

  Furthermore, searching the document for mentions of km/h, there’s this bit on page 127, section 2.1, “Defining the unit of a quantity”:

  For a particular quantity different units may be used. For example, the value of the speed v of a particle may be expressed as v = 25 m/s or v = 90 km/h, where metre per second and kilometre per hour are alternative units for the same value of the quantity speed.

  This paragraph suggests (even though it doesn’t outright say it) that km/h is indeed an SI unit.

  I haven’t found anything clearly saying whether km/h is an SI unit or not. Not on that document, not by searching the web. The research above makes me lean towards the idea that it is one.

  If you found otherwise, I’d love to compare notes and learn further.
