  No, I don’t. It’s just meaningless. You might as well have posted “water is wet”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm yes very smart. Add a useless platitude to a thread you have no idea about or stake in. No background reading or nuance here, just thought terminating cliches! I wonder why nobody is praising your amazing intellect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes of course, you were just saying some words. You freely admit not knowing the context but it didn’t occur to you to, idk, educate yourself first? Nah, more important to just say words because idk, freezed peaches or something.

  This is why no one likes Seppos.

  I am not Australian and I don’t know the entire history or context

  And yet you decided to weigh in anyway. Amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real and True⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  6 but they’re all different sizes. One I’ve had since 2016, one was $20 from goodwill, and the other I found on the side of the road.

  Well that’s fucking bizarre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good entry level printer these days?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently upgraded to an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus, although I wouldn’t exactlcall that ‘cheap’. No complaints so far, but I did replace the firmware with OpenNep4tune straight away so I can’t speak to the bone stock, out-of-box experience.

  This one is gaining traction because it’s where rich people hang out. The cheapest full membership is $7.1k, but you can’t actually get one without paying a $200 non-refundable fee just to go on the waiting list for a place to open up.

  We’re screwed. I mean we were always a vassal state, but this is the worst time to be digging further in with the unstable, failing empire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Slicer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prusa and Cura are available on flathub and work fine. AFAIK Orca isn’t in the main repo but the flatpak is on their github and works fine for me too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting with an old laptop⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Old laptop as a server is viable and not unheard of. They’re generally low power consumption, and have a built-in KVM and UPS.

  2. Depends on your VPN provider and use case. I’d recommend against Tor-only if you want normal people to ever see anything you blog. You’ll need static IP and/or dynamic DNS if you want it to be reachable with any kind of reliability. Doing it over VPN requires your provider to support port forwarding, which not all do.

  3. Again, depends on your use case. It’s generally a good idea to disable unused services. Worst case it goes down while you’re on holidays or something and you can’t get it back up for a while. Can you live with that?

  It’s a weird isometric skateboard racing game, for some reason. Manual here, Amiga gameplay video here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archival Obsessions: the unofficial Neighbours video game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild. I’ve played the official one. Never knew this existed.

  They need more content to feed to the LLMs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kia and Dettol ads top complaints list for 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  AdStandards can’t issue fines or force those ads offline. I think that might be ACMA territory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kia and Dettol ads top complaints list for 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The article does mention, and I think it’s worth remembering, that AdStandards is an industry self-regulatory organisation. They can’t actually do shit. They call them a regulator, but they don’t have any real power. They don’t do anything proactively, can’t issue fines or legally-backed takedown notices, and their “rules” only apply to members of the AANA. Besides a lot of “we have investigated ourselves and found no misconduct” situations, this means the socmed ads mentioned in the article are functionally unaffected, because the businesses aren’t members. Even members can just refuse breach notices. It mostly exists as a place where consumer complaints go to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite ps2 multiplayer games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Downhill Domination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet another request for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for doing the research but I’m not in the States. They’re out of stock at Anycubic here and significantly more expensive at resellers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet another request for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. Where I am the Kobra 3 seems to be either out of stock or ~160% the price of the Ender. Unless I’m missing a bargain somewhere.

  I see auto-leveling as a nice-to-have. It’s not a deal breaker for me at this point because pretty much anything is going to be an upgrade from the K7.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet another request for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I nearly pulled the trigger on a refurbed i3 Mega S but spare parts seemed to be nonexistent. How’s the support for the Kobra?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From a safe to the streets: tracing how Australia’s licensed firearms end up in criminal hands⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to wonder how much of the “criminals have easy access to guns” rhetoric is actually cooked up by the gun lobby, because the subtext feels like “so shouldn’t you, too?” I’m also seeing a fair bit of noise about Castle Doctrine around the place and it all just feels astroturfed.

  There’s a couple of Wip3Out games on PSP that I find as timeless and rewarding as the rest of the series.

  In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.

  Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.

  Yeah I’m having issues last day or two. I feel like it’s been intermittent up until today. Now nothing loads, here or federated.
