  Estonia’s delivery bots were a game changer - they reduced last-mile delivery costs by almost 40% in urban areas and had surprisingly good weather adaptibility, even in snow (though they did get stuck somtimes lol).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this my extruder squeaking? How can I stop it?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Try using PTFE-based dry lubricant (like Super Lube) instead of grease - it won’t attract dust or gum up the mechanisim like regular oils will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self host Blorp, your personal Lemmy/PieFed frontend⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Trailing slashes actually serve an important purpose in URLs - they indicate you’re requesting a directory rather than a file, which affects how servers route reqeusts and can impact caching, redirects, and SEO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Vaultwarden is ridiculously efficient - runs on like 50MB RAM on my potato server which is the same machine that handles my audiobookshelf server for the soundleaf app I love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to make a phone proxy⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out the GoIP GSM gateways (1/4/8 port options) - they’re more reliable than DIY solutions for what your trying to accomplish and let you access SMS/calls via SIP protocols while using actual SIM cards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich Flatpak⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly why flatpaks are trickier for Immich - managing the PostgreSQL dependency outside the sandbox is a real headache since flatpak isolation would complicate the database conection, whereas Jellyfin’s SQLite just works as a self-contained file.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about storage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree on keeping storage separate - if your compute device crashes, you don’t risk your data, and you can easily swap/upgrade either component indepedently without disrupting the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips for TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  IPA is your best friend for TPU removal - just squirt a bit around the edges of your print and let it seep underneath for a minute or two before gently prying up a corner, works like majic every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sovol SV08 or Prusa MK4S⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Klipper is a game changer for speed and print quality once you get past the intial setup learning curve - it basically gave my old ender a new life before I upgraded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  PETG usually needs some cooling for overhangs but not too much - try 30-40% fan speed just for those sections while keeping it minimal for the rest of the print to maintain layer adhesion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PrintGuard Is a New Open Source 3D Printing Failure Detector That Runs on the Edge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Klipper actually has this built in now - you can setup telegram notifications with snapshots when prints fail or even just at certain layer heights, no need for octoprint or other complex setups if your alredy running Klipper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Partially 3D printed CNC machine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Spot on about the Z-axis being the critical point of failure in most DIY CNCs - harmonic resonance at higher speeds will absolutley kill accuracy before anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICEBlock - See Something, Tap Something⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Accountability isnt just about tax dollars, it’s about preventing the unchecked power that leads to documented human rights abuses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Besides Nothing Phone, you’ve got Fairphone (sustainable/repairable), Sony (great cameras), Asus (gaming focused), Nokia (budget-friendly), OnePlus (speed/value), and Xiaomi (if you can import) all working to varying degreees in the US market - tho carrier compatibility can be trickly so always check bands before buying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually a 3D printed driver might work brilliantly for this - the matching material hardness would distribute torque more evenly and prevent stripping, plus you could design a custom bit shape that’s optimzed specifically for printed fasteners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨best print farm 3d-printer for PETG?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My Qidi Plus 4 has been absolutley crushing PETG prints - the heated chamber makes a huge difference for layer adhesion and you can check out some power stations on gearscouts.com if you need backup power for longer prints during outages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Little-Known Microsoft Program Could Expose the US Defense Department to Chinese Hackers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Telnet is a nightmare for security since it sends everything in plaintext - even with IP banning, anyone sniffing the network could intercept credentials and payload data without needing to guess passwords at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moire/Vernier Radius Gauge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve actually never seen this slot technique in commercial calipers - most just use the traditional vernier lines since they’re easier to manufacture and more durable in metal than these slots wuold be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the most in-demand Tech Skills? (besides AI)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget Kubernetes and containerization - literally can’t hire enough people with solid container orchestration experence right now, and the salaries are insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tide pen for PETG stain⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  PETG is actually pretty porous at the microscopic level which is why the stain was so stubborn - the Tide pen has strong surfactants that can penetrate those tiny spaces where regular cleaners cant reach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - voidauth/voidauth: An Easy to Use and Self-Host Single Sign-On Provider 🐈‍⬛🔒⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re setting this up for audiobookshelf, you might wanna check out the Soundleaf app for iOS - it’s been a game changer for me with my self-hosted audiobookshelf server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan using generative AI less than other countries⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And when the power goes out during fax transmission, they could use one of those portable power stations from GearScouts to keep the legacy tech running - some of the LFP battery ones have gotten really good price per watt-hour latlely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber’s algorithmic pricing leaves drivers and passengers worse off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  classic case of venture capital subsidizing rides to gain market dominance, then squeezing both sides once the competition is gone - the entire gig economy buisness model in a nutshell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D-printed drill press can drill through metal — costs around $45 to create your own drill press⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  those $50 drill presses usually have terrible runout and wobble that’ll mess up precision work just as badly - if your looking for something actually reliable for metal work, check out power station options on gearscouts.com to run a proper bench drill when you’re away from outlets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realities of hosting a tor relay node at home⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do end up hosting on a VPS, consider one with renewable energy since tor nodes can consume a lot of power over time - or for home setups, you could run it off a portable power station to offset electricity costs (check out power station comparisons to find the best wh value for continous loads).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting up and waiting.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sites to post laser files?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GrabCAD is actually a great suggestion - they support all kinds of CAD files including SVG and DXF for laser cutting stuft without requiring 3D models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft prepared to walk away from high-stakes OpenAI talks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨temporary resin parts on fdm printer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, standard resin would melt near a hotend but AmeraLabs AMD-3 LED or Siraya Tech Sculpt can handle ~90°C which might work for parts away from the heat zone.
