- Comment on 3D Printering: Why Is My PLA So Brittle? 3 days ago:
Dry it well. PLA is not super hydroscopic but over 6 years it will soak up a lot of water.
- Comment on Tired of expensive disposable batteries and rechargeable AA suck. So I made a 10k mAh pack for my deadbolt. 3 days ago:
Yeah, it’s because of the buck circuit regulating them down to 1.5v. No warning, they just die because the safety cutoff turns off the circuit when the lithium voltage drops too much. I can live with it though.

Ostations rechargeable lithium AAs are freaking great for mine.
- Comment on Do you trust this power strip? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, this is how every power strip looks inside. More or less.
- Comment on Remote work increases sleep and reduces physical activity—sedentary behaviour ca 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like a question for a therapist.
- Comment on Unraid 8 Moves to Fedora 3 weeks ago:
Slackware is being a but long in the turn. Updates are slow, which means security fixes are slow.
- Comment on Unraid 8 Moves to Fedora 3 weeks ago:
Wholeheartedly support this and am looking forward to it. But part of me is sad to lose Slackware. Entirely for nostalgia reasons. It was the first Linux distro I really dug in on and used regularly. First distro I set a server up on so very long ago. It was kind of nice always having there in the background on Unraid.
- Comment on Anyone got ideas on how to fix this bulging issue with thin prints? 3 weeks ago:
Slow down the print, a lot.
- Comment on Help wanted undextrusion and stuck filament 4 weeks ago:
If this is a core one you should be asking Prusa, not because we can’t or don’t want to help, but because that’s part of the price of the printer. And they will have a much better idea of what is wrong.
- Comment on Dell PSU is “PD3” but cannot do PPS. WTF? Isn’t that non-conformant? OTOH, no USB-PD indicator to begin with. 5 weeks ago:
Where does it claim to do PD3?
- Comment on Unofficial "collection" torrents 1 month ago:
Add the MCU collection, and it to monitored.
- Comment on Prusa releases upgrades for Core One+, Core One L, and XL 1 month ago:
Wooo! Time to upgrade your expensive beta test!
- Comment on White House plan for a ‘golden age’ of science ignores the structures that made the US a scientific superpower 1 month ago:
I mean… If it’s a shower… Trump supposedly has a lot of experience in that regard.
- Comment on Star Trek Movie Rereleases Beaming Into Theaters – With Souvenir Popcorn Bucket 1 month ago:
Are these going to get recalled too?
- Comment on 3D printing services? 1 month ago:
You could try your local library, if they still allow those in Texas.
- Comment on Is this hot end salvageable? 1 month ago:
How much time do you have?
- Comment on I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a home server PC 1 month ago:
I would spend more, because im not building a server out of a mini pc. I would also optionally buy used or refurbished parts to save money given the state of things.
- Comment on I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a home server PC 1 month ago:
If I’m going to spend that much on a server it won’t be a mini pc.
- Comment on Air Purification 2 months ago:
No, it wouldn’t work about as well for several reason. The biggest reason is you’re halving the surface area and reducing the airflow.
- Comment on Tesseract Ban Award Medallion 2 months ago:
Is that why I got put on the list, because I don’t support genocide?
- Comment on Jellyfin Project Leadership Changes 2 months ago:
TL; DR all the oldest members who’ve already not really been contributing because they’ve moved on in their lives have officially handed the reins to the people actually doing the work.
- Comment on E-mail archive browser for gmail takeout files (.mbox) 2 months ago:
No, but the founder naively praised Trump for an executive branch nomination he thought would play out in his favor. I don’t think it was a month later when Trump made it obvious he was just going to sell his entire administration to the big powerful tech bros. The Proton founder should have known better and just looked like an idiot, or worse supporter, for praising Trump.

I also use Bichon and its great.

Not true, some apps show a piece of cake next to their name.
- Comment on 3D Printing’s Biggest Scam Is Even Worse Than We Thought! (PLA-CF) 9 months ago:
Hence why most printers don’t come with brass nozzles anymore. The majority come standard with hardened steel.
- Comment on 3D Printing’s Biggest Scam Is Even Worse Than We Thought! (PLA-CF) 9 months ago:
Fiber impregnated filament is actually really great if the material is prone to warping. It stabilizes the filament and reduces warping cause by shrinkage as the filament cools.
That’s really the only thing it’s good for. So unless you’re printing PLA crazy fast, it’s useless.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 9 months ago:
It has several unsecured endpoints.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 9 months ago:
Jellyfin is notoriously full of security holes. It’s recommended to no expose it to the Internet. It’s also easy easier on Plex, at least until this bullshit, to have a random non-techie family member sign in to your Plex server from anywhere. I never liked Plex and never got into it, but I see why people used to prefer it.
I think Emby is a good middle ground for people looking to jump ship from Plex. But I switched to jellyfin from my lifetime Emby sub because the plug-in community there feels dead and Emby development felt dead in the water.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 9 months ago:
Lol, guess who just made themselves a target. They are now profiting directly on people who stream content they don’t own from other people’s servers. Plex is going to go down when Hollywood sues them.
- Comment on Preparing for the hardware market disruption 10 months ago:
Yes, 100% the recertified market was already affected when manufacturers reduced capacity to bring prices up a year or two ago. Prices in the primary market go up due to shortages, more people seek the parts from the secondary market, secondary market prices go up with demand.
