- Comment on The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users 1 day ago:
I don’t consider a feature that was supposed to be paywalled for years and is finally enforced enshitification. I bought a lifetime plexpass at least 5 years ago because that was one of the features they said you needed to pay for.
Real Plex enshitification is how they push their media and suggestions without allowing you to configure your own media defaults. I have a Plex setup to share home videos with my Mother in law. But Plex forces “recommended” as the default instead of library view. How do they even know what to recommend?

1gb makes it an easier to program microcontroller.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 days ago:
The Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC ram I got on eBay pulls 15 watts from the wall streaming 4k video on Plex.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 days ago:
I bought a used Coffee Lake era Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC RAM to use as a NAS. It uses 15 Watts at the wall measured with a killawatt while streaming 4K with Plex.
- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 3 days ago:
Oh cool! You’ve done decals? Have you ever seen the same issue where Orca’s SVG modifiers create perfect filament paths compared to the gcode it creates for STL/Step file geometry?
- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 3 days ago:
Yeah the decal is cut out from the model and then the intersection part becomes the decal. I also tried raising it .2 from the surface because I’m using a .2 layer height. I’ll try raising it higher.
I just learned there’s a 3d print option in fusion so I can keep the objects set when saving as stl. I’ll try that too.
- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 3 days ago:
It’s weird that Orca can create high quality filament paths using modifiers but I can’t achieve the same thing with model geometry.
I could try to delete some polygons in the middle so it’s flatter. Thanks for the idea.

- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 5 days ago:
Yeah I tried Step and it’s a tiny bit better but still not anywhere the quality of using a SVG modifier in Orca.

You want a 3mf or just more pngs?
- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 5 days ago:
It’s the side of a plane so there’s no way to make that side flat. I already have the model split down the middle, so it prints without supports. I want it to be in a Kit Card format for ease of printing and assembly.
- Comment on STL vs Modifier quality 5 days ago:
I planned to upload the 3mf too for anyone to use. I assumed that stl was the more standard file format that everyone used because it didn’t contain any printer specific data. That’s the only reason why I want the stl to work without anyone needing to do anything.

Although I’d love to see what nylon cf could stand up to.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 6 days ago:
Dual color silk filaments are fun. The print looks a different color depending on the angle.

It was new to me and I’m on Lemmy several times a day.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 2 weeks ago:
Dahua must have improved their software. I was trying every brand of camera about 8 years ago when I setup my system. The first Dahua I bought required their ActiveX component for Internet Explorer to see the camera output from their web interface!
I agree that Dahua looked better but at the time their web interface was so bad I kept the Hikvisions.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 2 weeks ago:
Dahua and Hikvision have great cameras but of course you shouldn’t trust them. Block them at the firewall. I bought mine a few years ago and preferred Hikvision for its better built in webserver for initial configuration.
On the hosting side you run Frigate, Zoneminder or BlueIris (Windows) to control the cameras and record their streams.
- Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within? 2 weeks ago:
Ok, can you make a snorting sound at the front of your nose?
Nope. With effort I can restrict it a little but not close it off.
Suppressed sneezes are from my throat.
- Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within? 2 weeks ago:
I tried it and can feel the release in my throat, not nasal passage.

“Simple guide to C”
no guide.
- Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within? 2 weeks ago:
Blowing out candles is controlling your nasopharynx which every does so food and liquids don’t go up their nose while swallowing. Most everyone can breathe through their mouth instead of their nose.
The OP seems to be describing his nasal passage, not his throat. That seems unusual but I’ve never asked people to know.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
One tap and it just does the thing.
Moonlight already does that. You can have an icon on your home screen that when you click it automatically loads a stream connection to your home PC and runs that game.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
Now when you tap that icon on the Home Screen, your phone taps into the massive power and connivence of an already working rig at home and streams it to your device!
??? Steam link came out in 2018 and is still available.
Moonlight, Sunshine and Xbox have also been a thing for a very long time.
Or are you mocking their failed Steam Machine?
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
Gaming on a phone is an abomination. There are many fun time wasters but I want a phone that does less, not more. Internet, Camera, GPS, done.

There seem to be many bot accounts posting. I’ve given up and just downvote if it’s a bad recommendation.
