- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 1 day ago:
Yeah, I wish I could print while it’s drying.
It’s probably possible to modify my solution to allow that but I haven’t and I doubt I have the space for it.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 3 days ago:
Yeah, you should absolutely use a dryer. It’s especially important if you want transparent prints since the slightest amount of water makes the print way less transparent.
Mine dryer is the cheaper food dryer I could find plus some 3 printer adapter walls so a filament roll fits.
It works very well and is likely better than many more expensive filament dryers.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 3 days ago:
The transparent PETG I bought last year is pretty damn transparent when printed out at the right settings (iirc, fairly low temperatures, very slowly and the filament must be as dry as possible). The test prints I made kinda looks closer to a dusty lens than a translucent material. I couldn’t find a picture of the test prints I made but I can post some if anyone is curious.

Aren’t the students provided computers?
Here students usually get provided computers and then MS accounts are no problem since they just have to logon with their domain account.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 6 days ago:
Ordering components with unnecessarily small tolerances is stupid and a waste of money but of course they will complain if you can’t make the parts to the specifications.
Why did you even take the order in the first place if you can’t manage to produce them to spec?

Why would you need to scan it? And why wouldn’t you be able to scan a laminated document? The scan might look worse but I doubt it would be that bad.

So true. But I can’t complain that the software is getting better.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 week ago:
I don’t think it justifies putting remote streams as a whole behind a paywall. But I suspect that the feature is very widely used since it makes remote streams work out of the box regardless of your setup. It’s also turned on by default.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 week ago:
Requiring a subscription for remote access is actually fucking insane, they don’t have any bandwidth costs associated with that other than authentication so ???
They have provided a free relay service for years that makes it possible to access a server even if there are things in the way like CGNAT. That service had a low bandwidth limit but undoubtedly cost them money, so yes. But yes, they should have just moved that feature entirely to Plex pass (there is already a higher bandwidth limit for Plex pass users)

Browser apps are very annoying though. The support for some codecs (like HEVC) is usually worse in a browser.

Don’t HDDs usually come just in antistatic bags?
All the drives I ever purchased came in just a plain box with packing materials and the drive in some antistatic bag. So I assume the retailer gets big loads of disks from the manufacturer/reseller and unpacks them and then ships them individually and thus packs then on demand.

Yeah, Eriksson too. Both pretty much abandoned their consumer phone business. They have pivoted to afaik mostly telecommunications infrastructure. But both companies do a bunch of other stuff.

Weird. It has always worked perfectly fine for me. You must have something interesting going in in your setup.

I meant if you wanted to do it securely.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
If you enable the “remote access” in Plex you are essentially port forwarding you server to the internet using UPnP (by default. You can also port forward manually if you’d like).
It’s indeed a point to point connection but a point to point connection the same way your connection to normal websites are point to point.
If you knew the public IP of anyone that’s using Plex you can likely go to [IP]:[Random PORT] and access their server. You still need to login though.

- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
No, that should work straight out of the box. Maybe you have some network configuration that stops that, like a firewall.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
The quality was probably bad because you were routed through Plex Relay services which have a bandwidth limit. It is honestly quite a nice free service because it means it will work pretty much regardless how your network is setup but the quality will be bad. If you want to directly connect to your server you need a public IP so CGNAT won’t do you might also have to open some ports.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
If all you want is a local media server. It’s very easy.
You pretty much just have to install Plex or Jellyfin, setup a “library” in the software.
You usually set up one library for movies and one for TV shows. You then point these libraries to their respective folders on your hard drive and assuming you have some half decent organized media with proper naming it usually just works.
Plex doesn’t have automatic subtitles per say but mostly Plex players allow you to download new subtitles from the player. I don’t know about Jellyfin.
If you want to have external access it’s a bit harder if you use jellyfin as you will have to setup a reverse proxy but I’m guessing that there are a lot of guides for that online. Plex should work for external access out of the box assuming you have a public IP, and even if you don’t you can use their automatic relay services to get it to work anyway although in very low quality.
Proper naming is honestly the hardest part but that’s very dependent on how much existing media you have and how the naming is today. Luckily Plex and Jellyfin are fairly good at recognizing and finding media with subpar namin (you should still fix the naming to comply with the documentation)
If you want to have automatic torrent downloads, fully automatic subtitles and all that it’s quite some work to set it up properly and have it working without any input from you. If you want to tackle it (or are just curious), I recommend checking out trash-guides.info
