  The bulk 10kg options look good. I might stock up on those and packrat a few colors since they dont’ really go bad

  Oooh, tangled. Thanks for reminding me about them. Having all US produced product is a nice plus and if they can keep it that cheap domestically, I’d happily buy it for all my bulk printing that doesn’t care about color. $15/kg is about as good as it gets these days.

  not even a hot take. the only people who seem to hate ubuntu are the hardcore linux nerds who like custom building kernels and shit- which, honestly, more power to them, but i have the big dumb and want click button make work.

  Admittedly I don’t really like how they’re handling packages these days, it’s a bit messy, but whatever.

  I currently run ubuntu alongside my windows install just because I needed linux to experiment with AI models, and the only AMD drivers that work for ROCm support are Ubuntu only (packages are permanently dependency-broken on other distros).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If its just for her, I don’t really care what content I host for family unless it straight up nazi/gay hate shit. New age “found christian” movies are massive yuck, but innocuous otherwise. She’s gonna consume them regardless of whether you host them or not.

  Move it to its own library, make sure to rip in low quality (480p low bitrate) so you’re not spending too much disk space in her, and let it be. It’s not worth driving a rift in the family over.

  If they used Google maps, Niantic would have to pay Google. That’s no Bueno. Why pay for content critical to your apps success when you could just freeload on volunteers work instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chonky nozzel + decent amount of material = opportunity for lots of spaghetti⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even 250 is a bit low for that high of a volume. Are you running a brass nozzle or a hardened/stainless steel nozzle? Steel nozzles will require even more hotend temp due to their low conduction rates. Eg, with the stainless nozzles on a Bambu P1S, I have to run ASA at around 260/262 for higher print speeds.

  If stringing is a problem consider increasing the speed of your filament retraction (not distance) You may also want to turn off z-hop. Sounds wild I know, but it does help- by not lifting the nozzle during a rapid move, it “wipes” the nozzle clean as it moves off the part and reduces stringing. Realistically you shouldn’t use z-hop at all unless you have a part with a very small cross section that keeps falling over when the nozzle wipes across it. Which ofc, the big print I see in the photo looks like it will have zero stability problems, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chonky nozzel + decent amount of material = opportunity for lots of spaghetti⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. ASA basically acts like ABS when printing for the most part, it does need temps to be a tiny bit higher but mechanically everything else is almost entirely the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chonky nozzel + decent amount of material = opportunity for lots of spaghetti⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally speaking yes, with bigger nozzles and higher flow rates you will need slightly higher temps- the conduction rate thru the nozzle to the plastic is constant, but you are heating up more plastic and need more energy (thus, higher temps).
  You will then also need more part cooling fan as there is more plastic bulk to be cooling.

  230 is much much too low for ASA, that stuff is a bit picky. Try 250.

  Hmm. Has it updated, and have you allowed it the correct site permissions? Every once in a while it’ll ask you to update the site modification permissions.

  I’ve had zero issues with it on Firefox and DDG. May vary on other browsers and search engines though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Verge shows how Google search is useless⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That works too, but indie buddy works better because it gives you a direct link to the proper indie wiki page rather than just blocking Fandom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Verge shows how Google search is useless⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Most annoyingly, it always recommends Fandom’s Wiki above better alternative wiki sites.

  use Indie Wiki Buddy extension to get rid of fandom.

  You can’t actually plop something out in the middle of BFE.

  The number of data centers in Prineville/Hermiston/Umatilla, OR beg to differ

  While latnecy matters sometimes, there’s still a lot of data center services that care a lot less and can be put anywhere.

  The latest death was due to disease (flu and MSRA, leading to pneumonia and apparently a stroke), though, and his family confirmed as such. Many of these whistle-blowers are older experienced engineers who will be biased towards a higher death rate.

  Still, fuck Boeing though. Corporate scumbags.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post your Servernames!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The devices usually get some descriptor of what they look like…

  For example I have:

  • Flatboard - an old core2duo era Xeon bare tower server board I got on Craigslist for $20 that lives on a custom backplate and no case (thus, is flat)
  • OrangeBox - an Orange Pi 5 in a aptly-colored orange case I custom modeled and 3d printed for it
  • DumbBrick - my retired gaming PC built from a t30 dell tower server that is basically a nondescript black brick
