Nice, I’ll have to give it a good look!

Not with that attitude :)
- Comment on we need more users 5 days ago:
Yes, but you don’t want to lock yourself in an echo chamber either. You want to be as close to reality as possible, at least I do. Though I realize that’s niche federated internet community is a bad place for that. But this is the reason I don’t block communities. I used to be on lemm.ee for that reason, but it got shut down. I have no problem reading communist propaganda and deciding for myself if it’s garbage. But I have problem with censorship. Though bullying and abuse is where I draw the line. But what I see is even without algorithm based feeds, people are still polarized. Possibly because, like me, people with moderate views tend to not comment or engage, while polar opposite groups want you to firmly choose sides and denounce the other side or else you are garbage. In summary, I think it’s depressing because reality is currently depressing. But it’s unrealistic to just pretend everything is just fine and be happy.
- Comment on designed supports with minimal contact and no leftover flashing by Clough42 6 days ago:
I think in his particular case, this works, as he uses pla-gf or pla-cf, but in general, I doubt this technique works for any old filament, perhaps for Pla, and i doubt for petg.
- Comment on Coca cola reverse-engineered recipe for "homebrewing" 1 week ago:
You make a good point. What would perhaps be interesting if we had a reliable supplier of a premixed concentrate, but with known ingredients of course. Then you order however much you need. In my country, problem is nothing other than just straight coke or coke zero is available. No green cola, no known healthier choice as far as I’m aware either. So this is an opportunity to democratize coke somewhat. Though, essential oils are also a problem to get, I can at least get them once and make a 5000 litre batch to last me a long time. And I’m primarily interested in sugar-free alternatives, say stevia or other kind of sugar fee sweetener. I already have corny kegs and beer equipment, so I figure it’s a good fit for me and others with similar equipment.

- Comment on Good FOSS design software for beginners? 1 week ago:
Freecad is horrible in terms of ux, but otherwise very powerful and worth the time investment, IMO. Keep at it, I think it will pay off for you in the long run.
- Comment on What is causing these layer lines? I'm assuming it has something to do with the curved part, as it starts around the same height as them. Is there a way I can avoid these? 1 week ago:
Layer time, most likely. You can avoid it by setting minimum layer time higher. When the curvy part is being printed, it takes longer for that layer, so it gets to cool down more before the next layer, in contrast to still being a bit hot before the next layer if the layer time is short. This causes unevenness in the looks a bit. You may also decrease the effect by lowering the printing temperature, but I would not recommend it. Also, part cooling fan can have an effect as well.
- Comment on Need some help troubleshooting 2 weeks ago:
Also, white color is the worst for troubleshooting, literally any other color would do better. But even from that, I see your overhangs are drooping, suggesting too big temperature, over extrusion or no part cooling.
- Comment on Need some help troubleshooting 2 weeks ago:
This looks to me like your part cooling fan is not turning on or pid calibration of the hotend is not good. Also may be over/under extrusion. You may need to go through calibration steps for your printer. It’s likely the firmware update cleared the calibration. There are many sites that will walk you through it, but I frequently use Teaching tech’s website: teachingtechyt.github.io
- Comment on Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years 2 weeks ago:
Based on how AI might actually replace a bunch of professions, and nobody fighting tooth and nail about it - I don’t think so.
- Comment on Post from other instance missing 3 weeks ago:
Oh, thanks. Should’ve look into it a bit more. I was worried I’m missing on posts for no good reason. But I guess this makes sense.

- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 3 weeks ago:
Are you then a part of a vocal majority? Have you personally asked or been asked by Mozilla about AI features? What features are you exactly missing? See, I’m not against AI, but I am against needless, brainless hype following AI. I use AI, almost daily. But I’m not missing any of the features in the browser. Hell, most of the time, I’m using chatgpt from the browser. That’s all I need and dont exactly have an idea what more I would need? OCR a page? Extract an image? That all could fit in an extension, which I claim almost no one would use. What does AI browser even mean? I don’t speak for everyone but it doesn’t mean I don’t have at least an intuition that these are all empty words and that almost no one has asked for an “AI browser”. And of those that did, I’m not sure they know what they mean by that, other than general curiosity about what an AI browser might look like, likely directly influenced by the hype, themselves.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 3 weeks ago:
Translation is already a part of Firefox and I don’t see too many have complained about this. It is also completely offline, AFAIK. What people are afraid, myself included is agentic AI capable of autonomous web browsing. That is a privacy and security nightmare, as is already demonstrated by openai’s browser, which was exploited the first day it was launched. Beyond translation, I personally am not interested in any other AI features. In fact, I don’t use the translation feature more than a few times a year.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. 1. Nobody wanted AI as a feature. 2. They didn’t even completely backpedal, that would be not implementing AI. This sounds like it will be opt out maybe. They may remove it if they feel like it.
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 1 month ago:
I recently set up a Navidrome/Lidarr setup and I’m beyond thrilled. Works great. I also recommend Symfonium app on android, it’s paid, but it’s worth it for the quality. On desktop, I’m trying out strawberry, but I find it a bit clunky, so I will probably try out other players. Use beet to download and ebmbed lyrics, and my music has never been better. I immediately ditched Spotify and haven’t looked back.
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 month ago:
They are getting more aggressive by the day it seems. Luckily I’ve been windows free for 10 years now. And recently, I switched almost my entire extended family to Linux mint to great success. Only my brother in law still uses win, cause of games, specifically anti cheat - the last hurdle for many people.
- Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL 2 months ago:
Yes, you make a good point. Even the hardware is locked-down. Not something I would buy at this point. Perhaps as my first printer, but then, it’s not cheap exactly.
- Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL 2 months ago:
Tom Sanladerer pointed some disqualifying flaws at least. Not just praise. But still - as far as I’m considered - no Tux, no Bux. I’d rather buy an inferior or more expensive printer that I can thinker with for as long as I own it, rather than relying on faith to not get locked out of my own printer.
- Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL 2 months ago:
He’s OK, but he’s still in it to make money, not just for fun.
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 3 months ago:
I tried it some time ago and it was pretty usable, I reckon it is only better now.
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 4 months ago:
Well, it definitely isn’t suppose to be THAT bad. I can get a crash every half an hour or even longer. Usually for no apparent reason - like when I want to sketch on a face and the app switches from PartDesign workbench to sketcher or wise versa. And then after restart that doesn’t happen again. That is annoying, has been happening for ages and would really like it to be fixed. But it’s not every few minutes, more like half an hour to an hour.
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 4 months ago:
I’ve been using freecad with great success for years now and I’d say while I agree freecad is rough in terms of ux, it is highly usable, especially after 1.0 version. I feel like investing time in overcoming its flaws and weaknesses will pay off in the future, as it will enable access to a stable, eternally free and reliable software. Though I also agree it crashes frequently, I set a very frequent auto save and I don’t often get screwed now.
- Comment on Adhered so hard it delaminated the glass. 4 months ago:
The reason I’m not going for pei or any other spring steel sheet is it isn’t flat and warps with temperature. I’d need to compensate for warping and potentially flatten my bed, which all goes away with glass. Additionally, since I’m on ender 5, the weight doesn’t matter, so that is what I use. Also, for me petg is better than pla in almost every way i use the printer, I care about creeping and temperature stability, which makes petg the absolute king. But for some other use cases, other stuff makes more sense.
- Comment on Adhered so hard it delaminated the glass. 4 months ago:
Just get a few new pieces of glass/mirror cut to the same size. I’ve been using a piece of mirror for years now. No glue, nothing. Petg all of the time. Works great. Has a few blemishes, but still perfectly flat and very cheap.
- Comment on Slicer software for a Linux system? 5 months ago:
I use cura on Ubuntu without issues, the appimage version. I did also try prusa/super slicer not too long ago and it worked without issues as well.

Agree, it didn’t do anything to avoid the obstacle. A human could probably see it as an obstacle and try to swerve to the side, albeit not knowing what it is. Not saying it’s possible to avoid, but some reaction would be made.
- Comment on March in October - Marzen brew 1 year ago:
Thanks. The mill is utter trash though, which I modded as much as I could (the pink part is a 3d printed funnel), the wheels are not grippy enough, the knurling isn’t deep enough and I end up having to push the grain with my fingers and it’s very tedious and slow. I spent an hour milling a 5 kg of grain. It wasn’t even finely ground. It’s the next thing I’ll upgrade, as soon as I find a good brand/model.
