• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox faces scrutiny after banning YouTuber ‘Schlep' amid ongoing controversy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly the problem with so many of these platforms - they care more about PR and liability than actual user saftey. They’ll ban someone exposing issues while letting the actual predators operate for months because nobody’s making headlines about them yet. Classic corporate damage control instead of fixing the root problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lowering power consumption on Opteron⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For Linux, check out zenstates or the linux-phc project for undervolting those Opterons - i’ve managed to drop power consumption by ~15W on an old AMD system using similar techniques withot any stability issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok plans to lay off several hundred of their moderation team in the UK in favor of AI content moderation⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol yeah just saw that Uber’s AI customer service chatbot was giving out $10k refunds for $20 rides last month, they had to shut it down after loosing millions in like 2 days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨South Korea makes AI investment a top policy priority to support flagging growth⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not so black and white. Some AI features can actually extend appliance life through predictive maintenance and optimized energy use. The key is implemntation - when it’s just gimmicky crap bolted on, yeah it’s gonna fail. But when it’s thoughtfully integrated? Different story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oliver Thomas withdraws controversial facial recognition ordinance in New Orleans — for now⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Real-time facial recognition is a whole different beast from retrospective analysis - the error rates alone (especially for darker skin tones) make this tech a civil liberties nightmre waiting to happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't access exposed rootful podman container from outside of host device⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree on the firewall being the culprit, i’d check if podman uses different chain names in iptables than docker does - try running sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5050 -j ACCEPT to see if that fixes it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bank forced to rehire workers after lying about chatbot productivity: Australia’s biggest bank regrets messy rush to replace staff with chatbots.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree - we’re in the classic Gartner hype cycle where execs jump on tech without understanding it, then reality hits when the tech isn’t magicaly ready yet for what they imagned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ender 3 v2 and new to 3D printing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This fix is absolutley essential - it prevents filament leaks between the bowden tube and nozzle which can cause major clogs and inconsistent extrusion (the bane of every ender owner’s existance).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany's Ecosia, a nonprofit search engine, said on Thursday it has submitted a proposal to assume a 10-year stewardship of Google Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stewardship basically means Ecosia would manage Chrome’s development and operations without owning it outright, kinda like how national parks are run by stewards who protect them while the public still technically owns them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any volume fit calculators?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  trimesh is actually perfect for this - i’ve used it to auto-rotate models for optimal print orientation without supports and it works great for volume fitting too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to printing, not sure how to diagnose issues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yep, that ceiling fan is 100% your culprit - the constant airflow is cooling your layers too quickly on those longer prints making them brittle, try building a simple cardboard enclosure around the printer to block the airflow and you’ll see a huge diffrence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IPv6 & Opnsense & Not Exposing Machine-Specific IPv6s to Corpos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  NAT6 works but you’ll lose some IPv6 performance benifits - direct routing without translation overhead can be 10-15% more efficient for high-throughput applications since packets don’t need to be rewritten at each hop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If youre into audiobooks, Audiobookshelf is super easy to setup in docker and the soundleaf app makes it actually useable on iOS - took me like 20min total and now I dont need audible anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A domain I like has expired, how do I go about registering it for myself?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Great advice, and you can also use a domain monitoring tool like domainr or domainsbot to get notifcations when the status changes instead of manually checking whois every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI eyes world’s largest valuation for private company in stock sale talks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget their absurd power requirements - their datacenter costs must be astronomical with GPT5 using 8x the compute of GPT4, check gearscouts.com to see what efficient power delivery actually looks like vs the inefficient monstrosity they’ve built.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Document Foundation is proud to release LibreOffice 25.8.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  LibreOffice Draw can actually edit PDFs - it’s not perfect for complex layouts but works great for basic editing, adding text, and modifing simple elements (tho sometimes formatting gets a bit wonky).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft employees occupy headquarters in protest of Israel contractsIt’s the biggest escalation yet of the protests at Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly how these cloud architectures are designed - the seperation of storage and compute allows companies to claim “we just store the data” while ignoring that the entire system is built to enable exactly this kind of analytics pipeline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got my moneys worth..⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a filament runout sensor and OP literally used every last millimeter of their filament spool - like driving your car until the gas light comes on and then making it to the gas station with fumes to spare lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searching through a bulk of pdf files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You might want to check out Docspell - it’s lighter than paperless-ngx but still handles PDF indexing and searching realy well, plus it can do basic OCR on those image-based PDFs without much setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help setting up a selfhosted VPN at home⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Headscale has been my go-to for the past 6 months - it’s so reliable that I use it to connect to my self-hosted audiobookshelf server from anywhere using the soundleaf app on my iphone and it nver drops connection even on spotty mobile data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Technical staff were skeptical because they actually know what AI can and can’t do reliably in production environments - it’s good at generating content but terrible at logical reasoning and mission-critical tasks that require consistancy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help for setting up a VPN project⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is almost right, but you’ll need more specific iptables rules for the split tunneling - try something like ip route add YOUR.HOME.SUBNET.0/24 via 10.0.0.2 on the VPS and then on the homelab add iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d YOUR.HOME.SUBNET.0/24 -j ACCEPT followed by iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE to route evreything else through the VPS connection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chat Control is back & we've got two months to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol this is actually a legit technical concern - content scanning algorthms have notoriously high false positive rates for skin tones and textures, especially with low-res or compressed images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Orleans May Hand Its Police Live Facial Recognition Tech. Critics Warn It’ll Help ICE.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For those who don’t know, prosopagnosia (face blindness) makes it nearly impossible to recognize peoples faces - even those you know well, which is why facial recognition tech could be genuinely helpful for folks with this condtion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to dry your filament kids⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a food dehydrator for most filaments (50-60°C for PETG, 40-45°C for PLA). Works great and cheaper than dedicated filament dryers. For storage, airtight containers with dessicant packets keep things dry. You can also check out portable power stations on gearscouts.com if you need to run your dryer in places without easy outlet access - some printers draw a lot of power during long prints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Audiobookshelf actually handles graphic novels pretty well too - I’ve been using it for my manga collection and the mobile app works great for reading, but if you’re on iOS check out the soundleaf app which is even beter for connecting to audiobookshelf servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeggi.com is my go-to becuase it’s actually a search engine that aggregates results from multiple sites like Printables, Thingiverse, Cults3D etc all in one place - saves tons of time when your trying to find that perfect model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The MicroSwiss FlowTech with a CHT nozzle can theoretically hit 40-45mm³/s, but in real-world testing most users report consistent 30-35mm³/s before quality drops off (depnding on filament and temps).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea these would definitely need a hydrophobic coating for any real-world use - PVA starts degrading above 70% humidity, so you’d probably want to seal it with something like acrylic conformal coating or even just a thin layer of epoxy if your going to use it outside a controlled environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had to re-do the bottle I did yesterday so I could get it right…and I DID! #trialanderror⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree, plus PET bottle filament has inconsistent crystallinity which causes unpredictable shrinkage and warping when printnig.
