- Comment on They say nothing about bedbugs. 9 months ago:
In German it’s even funnier if you translate haunted with “besessen” as it means “occupied by bad souls” and “being sit on” at the same time.

Not for you today. Try again another day with proper shoes!
- Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals 11 months ago:
Unpopular opinion: I hate Elon Musk and basically never thought I’d consider buying a tesla. But to be fair, I did quite some research and a couple of test drives with various cars and overall the model 3 is the best deal for my requirements. Especicially, it seems to be the most energy efficient car in that size and cost range. You can drive a model 3 with around 15 kWh / 100 km even in winter on the highway where competitors range around 18-22.
Regarding the two buttons for the turn signals: yes I’d probably prefer the old-fashioned approach with a lever but the two buttons are definitely not as bad as claimed in all the articles. I got used to it pretty quickly during the test drive and also in roundabouts it is practicable even thought not the most ideal approach.

I’ve always missed a rating/feedback/comment feature in F-Droid. A lemmy-based solution would be pretty cool.
- Comment on 3D printer for someone who rarely prints 1 year ago:
From my experience it’s definitely not as bad as described there. Yes, there are some issues here and there but still a 3D printer is an awesome tool to have at hand. I often designed / printed spare parts and fixing something on a Sunday afternoon spontaneously without much planning and lead times for a third party feels pretty awesome. I would say in 8 out of 10 times I can just plug the printer and start using it without issues. In 1 out of 10, I have to do some small tweaks (e.g. bed leveling for 5 minutes) and in maybe 1 out of 10 I have to invest a bit more time for leveling or unclogging the nozzle. But even all that is less than 30 minutes.
Fixing the printer is nothing that I enjoy but using it is so handy that it definitely makes up for the small hassle here and there.
- Comment on 3D printer for someone who rarely prints 1 year ago:
When I checked online printing services the last time, they were really expensive. For my very first project (4 custom card organizers) it would have cost me more than a hundred bucks. My printer + the initial accessoires were around than 200 bucks and I’ve printed so many functional parts since then that it easily amortized itself within the first year.
- Comment on 3D printer for someone who rarely prints 1 year ago:
I own an Ender 3 V2 that I use around 10 times a year. It is one of the less sophisticated printers and still it does not require that much maintenance. You have to remove the dust, level the bed and sometimes clean or exchange the nozzle. More sophisticated printers can also do some stuff automatically (e.g. the bed leveling part).
However, the initial assembly and fine tuning took some time (approx. 1-2 hours), so I wouldn’t recommend to dis- and reassemble it all the time. If you don’t have that much space, maybe check for a small printer.
When I did my research 2 years ago the Prusa Mini was quite popular for small printer. But if you want to print big parts a lot, it might be a bit annoying as you always have to cut them into smaller chunks, print separate and finally glue them together.

Especicially watering it sounds like a really bad idea.
Why not just wait until late spring?
- Comment on Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? 1 year ago:
On mobile you could also have a look at NewPipe. It does not have automated downloads but it shows you a simple list of all the videos from your subscriptions without any algorithm-based recommendations. It shows no ads and is fully open source.
Also supports plenty of services other than YouTube.

“It’s a messy situation, but generally it’s very safe and it works well,”
Reminds me of the traffic situation in eastern Asia. Huge amounts of cars, scooters etc. mostly ignoring any traffic rules. From an outside perspective it looks like there must be thousands of injuries a day but considering the vast amount of individuals it’s still pretty safe and efficient.

Sorry, you’re right. It’s been so long that I’ve installed the app and always went via system settings that I’ve incorrectly assumed it was native.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
By the way: on Android Wireguard VPN shouldn’t need a dedicated app but should run natively via the OS settings. There you can also flag it as permanent, so Android will connect (re)automatically if you restart the device or lose connection.
- Comment on My first sunflower, grown from seed. Seeing it bloom with its deep yellow petals makes me irrationally happy. I love plants. 1 year ago:
It’s indeed a very beautiful sunflower. I feel you.
- Comment on Apparently you can make a plant stand out of a lampshade. Have any of you tried this? 1 year ago:
Looks good but I wouldn’t recommend this for outside (as recommended in the article). The center of gravity is really far from the ground so it will be knocked over easily by the wind.

Can you reach the server’s IP in general from other PCs in your network? Or is the issue restricted to the nextcloud service?

- Comment on Deepfake Porn Is Out of Control 1 year ago:
From my perspective deep fakes will lead to a short but massive peak of harassment until everyone is aware of the technology and its capabilities. Once the technology reaches the mainstream and everyone is able to generate such content with easy, people will just stop caring. If these videos are everywhere, it’s easy to play it off as a fake. It might even help victims of actual revenge porn. Virtual nudity will become less of a deal, probably even in real life.
From my perspective the bigger issue of deep fakes is news. We already have a huge issue with lies on social media today and once we can no longer trust what we see and even TV and newspapers it will be incredibly hard to build up trust for any sources.
Fake videos of politicians being spread to harm their credibility, fake videos of war crimes to justify an attack. Or vice versa if there’s an authentic video of a crime the offenders will just deny the authenticity. But in contrast to Trump’s “fake news” claims today, it will be more or less impossible for normal people to do fake check anything.
- Comment on Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey 1 year ago:
Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.
Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?
- Comment on Mid print x_axis shift 1 year ago:
Are all belts on the printer tightened properly? Did you print via Octoprint? Sometimes this may happen if there’s a short network / WiFi issue. Can also happen with some brands of SD cards. So if you have another one available that might be worth a try.
And can’t you save your print by simply grinding off the superfluous filament? If parts are missing you might also add some glue or putty to fill the gaps. If visual appearance is important for your part you could also apply some spray paint or acrylic paint.
