- Comment on Experience combining 3D printing with laser? 23 minutes ago:
I have a two trees tts-55pro, its cheaper, but no enclosure.
I would strongly recommend not relying on the enclosure anyway though, and make sure the glasses are actually capable.
I tested my glasses by putting them between the laser and a sheet of paper, and ran the laser at full power. If the paper is clean, its a good sign. Does mean my glasses have a big burn on the lens in front of my pupil though :D
I start my jobs and get as far away as possible, just to be safe.

If all you want to do is engrave plastic, look at the the cheap diode lasers. They’ll easily engrave plastic. Make sure you ventilate the area, and be very cautious about the lasers. They will blind you instantly.
- Comment on Experience combining 3D printing with laser? 1 hour ago:
I have a two trees tts-55 pro laser. Much cheaper, much less safe.
What are you planning on using the laser for?
My experience so far has been:
-
software ecosystem is terrible. Expensive paid options, poorly maintained free options. I use LaserWeb, but its basically abandoned.
-
bigger is better. The more cutting space you have the better

- Comment on How "secure" is your setup? 4 days ago:
User process makes sense, but login shell is probably limited value. If your service gets pwn’d the attacker will spin up a reverse shell, and that isn’t protected by the login shell. You ideally want to use selinux/apparmor to prevent execution, or containers to limit the available execution environment.
- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 2 weeks ago:
Thats a relief, I was worried you were completely deranged.
What NAS software? Does the nvme to sata thing properly pass through the disk serial numbers? Truenas gets very pissy if the disk serial numbers aren’t passed in properly.
- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 2 weeks ago:
Do you use the laptop as a laptop? Or is it now just a laptop shaped NAS?
- Comment on Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t clouds mostly just rely on replication across zones though?
I would have thought tapes were just too slow to be useful in that environment.
I’ll read up on the IBM deep archive.
- Comment on Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB? 4 weeks ago:
Does make you wonder who does use tape? Id assume big businesses just use cloud, so who is left that uses tape?
- Comment on Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t look tbh, I just assumed it would be 1-2k. 8-10 is crazy.
Does kinda backup my point though :/

Found from a google, no experience with it.
Tape is not a nice medium for the self-hoster, the drives are expensive, the tapes need to be carefully stored securely (temperature and humidity controled). Its a lot of hassle. That said, if you find something good, I’m interested as well, so report back.
- Comment on Does the 50Hz & 60Hz difference matter at all or not? 1 month ago:
At most, i would expect the fan in the airfryer to spin faster, but i don’t believe there is a relationship between frequency and power.
Resistive heating elements in airfryers should also be unaffected by frequency.
My guess is that heating element is tuned for 220v, but at 230v it goes to a much higher temperature? Or they suck at cooking :)
- Comment on Does the 50Hz & 60Hz difference matter at all or not? 1 month ago:
Transformers are a fixed ratio, they will convert 110->12v, or 240 to 25ish volts. So a 110v transformer on 240v will most likely fry its device.
The frequency mostly doesn’t matter, but some old oven clocks used grid frequency to keep track of time, which was an issue recently: theguardian.com/…/european-clocks-lose-six-minute…
- Comment on what's the simple way to map services to subdomains instead of specifying the port number? 2 months ago:
Nginx proxy manager is the easy way. Spin it up and the UI is fairly straight forward. You can also achieve the same thing with nginx or caddy, but you’ll have to set up the configs by hand.
- Comment on What path does data take when connecting to a domain at my address? 2 months ago:
I had issues with that recently, I had a few of my internal services set to resolve internally, but pihole was making a mess of them and returning IPv6 addresses in addition to the IPv4 internal addresses. And then browsers would try use the broken ipv6 address and fail. I just happily rely on hairpinning now, it hardly makes a difference in the scheme of things.
- Comment on What path does data take when connecting to a domain at my address? 2 months ago:
Devices on your domain will typically do a DNS lookup, which gets your public IP. Then they connect to that public IP, which your router recognises and redirects back into your network. The router then forwards that to your reverse proxy.
If your router isnt doing that properly (timing out usually), look up a setting usually called “NAT loopback” or “NAT hairpinning”. Thats the setting that detects your public IP, and redirects it back inward.
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 2 months ago:
Fast is good because its hosted by Netflix, so isps can’t throttle Netflix without impacting fast.
The cloudflare one of new to me, thanks!
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 2 months ago:
I would make sure you have a full connection in tailscale, not a relayed one. That will kill your speed.
Also check packet loss, if you are losing lots, tailscale seems to suffer badly.
Re: trickery, some ISPs have done sneaky shit like prioritising speedtest sites, while throttling everything else.
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 2 months ago:
Trace route measures latency, which is not directly correlated with speed.
I have a tailscale node that is 200ms away from me, but I can still hit solid speeds to it.
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 2 months ago:
Tailscale, which is wireguard is pretty lightweight protocol wise, so the overhead is usually not significant in my experience.
However, some devices don’t accelerate the crypto well, which can dramatically reduce speeds. My pi4 definitely struggles with it.
At 3mb/s, I would question if OP is getting relay’d, or possibly hitting some pretty bad packet loss.
- Comment on Help me fix my dad’s home internet setup. Does my plan make sense? 2 months ago:
WiFi might be the main cause of the ping issues. I would test on Ethernet to rule it out.
- Comment on Help me fix my dad’s home internet setup. Does my plan make sense? 2 months ago:
Is the modem causing issues? If it can handle the line speed of the internet connection I wouldn’t waste money replacing it.
I would stick to one system, orbi or eero, not both.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 6 months ago:
Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.
Is it just the once that this happened? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger? If yes, maybe worth plugging in a monitor while you triggering it and see what happens.
Are the server and chargers close to each other? Some kind of EMP effect? Seems unlikely, but who knows.
