Ah, right! I didn’t scroll past the Newswire-section because my brain parsed it as a “Related articles”-section with links to previous posts. I am no longer confused!

Sorry, what does this have to do with the post? I tried to find references to it but couldn’t, and now I am confused.

This was really cool and impressive.
- Comment on How do you handle junk email? 1 week ago:
Since switching from Gmail three years ago to Proton, I’ve not had a single spam mail. I also use aliases most places so that I can disable it if I start receiving spam on one.
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 1 week ago:
It might be sooner, but that would mean the AI bubble popped.
Unless the next insanity-driven hype cycle also relies on specific hardware components.
- Comment on Bossware rises as employers keep closer tabs on remote staff 1 week ago:
No, absolutely not! When you’re a manager you are supposed to stop doing actual work and instead spend your time in meetings, making PowerPoints and “navigating office politics”.
- Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been running tge AIO container for several years now and it is running perfectly fine. I only enable whatever I use, so for instance no Collabora.
But for Collabora, while it should be good for single-person use, if you require some kind of collaborative simultaneous work, you should probably set up the high-performance backend. I did this at work for a NC-instance hosted via Hetzner and it works well when we tried it, but we don’t really use those kinds of tools much in our daily work.

I see no such artifacts on my Core One. I am only printing with Prusament PLA so far.
- Comment on Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services 3 weeks ago:
It depends on what service - some, like Jellyfin, are accessed only from home IPs which are static (for music through Jellyfin I use offline mode to prevent too much mobile traffic), so I can add those specific IPs in the whitelist. Otger services I need to access from elsewhere, and I can add entire subnets (i.e. for my phone carrier network or VPN servers). Those change once in a while and that is annoying. Other services I want publically available.
Jellyfin especially still has some unsecured endpoints where it would be wise to take some.extra precautions. I think the risk some people seem to think this poses is a little overblown (i.e. rights holders finding your instance and reverse mapping your entire library and suing you to oblivion), but better not risk it.
- Comment on Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services 3 weeks ago:
What kinds of things are you planning to expose? What I expose I hide behind a reverse proxy with IP whitelists. Whatever I don’t need access to on the go I don’t expose.

Battery fuel guage is almost ready for FP4 at least:
fosstodon.org/@z3ntu/115435804332775702
And there has been recent successes by the same guy (employed at Fairphone) on getting cameras working (main post of the thread linked above).
These are recent improvements, and I really hope they can solve the audio stability and GPS stuff so I can move. Thinking of trying out Ubuntu Touch before a mainline distro is ready.
- Comment on Backups of Backups 3 weeks ago:
I put encrypted backups (borg or restic) on a storage box from Hetzner. One local copy on a different drive and one remote. Keep your encryption passwords safe though, otherwise they aren’t worth much.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think you bypass the age checks with the alternative front-ends? I’ve been using FreeTube for some time, and whenever there has been an 18+ video, I would not be able to view it as I would not pass the age check. If this is a more general check that is being rolled out, I guess there will be less and less videos that will work through these.
I think I need to start hoarding video tutorial series and self-host them. Would something like TubeArchivist be my best bet for that?
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 4 weeks ago:
Oh, this was a general issue? It was driving me crazy as I was certain I hit “shut down” instead of “reboot”. I am soon getting a Linux laptop at work anyway (I’ve only been waiting about 5 montha for it now, so any day now!) - so I will hopefully not experience this fix.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 4 weeks ago:
Alright, that’s fair. I have been planning on trying the CAD-plugins for Blender as well. I love Blender, and it is easy to use except when it comes to CAD-stuff. I’ve also been wanting to try out OpenSCAD.
I like that FreeCAD seems to have quite some steam and hopefully it will only improve going forward.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 4 weeks ago:
FreeCAD is insane. It is absolutelty unworkable and unintuitive for me.
I find it pretty workable for most of my cases, but have to look up how to solve certain things. I am doing fairly simple stuff though, and I don’t have any other references except some SolidWorks back in high school ages ago. But it gets me fairly easily to where I want to be, and it is FOSS which is important to me - I don’t want to lock my workflow into a software suite that may do a major rugpull at any given moment. I have experienced that before.
I didn’t start using it until after the 1.0 release - apparently there were some major improvements to the usability with that release. Did you try it after?
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been generally happy with FreeCAD for my use. If I am doing something less parametric and more organic in shape, I will use Blender.

- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 5 weeks ago:
I think their point was to make sure they are done in order, i.e. update before upgrade, not the other way around as in OPs example.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 month ago:
The question should be more understood as “was the word agentic even in use prior to AI-people slapping it on everything?” It was a genuine question, I have never heard it until it being used in this context.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 month ago:
Is “agentic” even a real word?
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 month ago:
Pension funds are to a large extent exposed to the stock indices. Since these companies grow and grow in valuation, a larger portion of pension funds are exposed to these companies. The so-called “magnificent seven” make up about 35% of the US stock market now. A lot of people will see a large portion of their pension savings affected by this. If you are not a US citizen, you sre still likely exposed to these companies.

Can it be used without arr-integrations? As just a way to keep track of stuff users would love to have available, but currently isn’t?

I like FreshRSS - I also have some readers that connect to my instance, like FluentReader that provides a better full article view, but I mostly use FreshRSS directly these days.

Thanks! I’m saving that link, and I’ve also saved your list of when you change patterns for future reference.

That’s a nice service, thanks for the share! However, I couldn’t quickly get an overview of what metadata may be included in a .3mf file, so I won’t upload it for now. Thanks for the offer to look at the file though. :)

Gyroid infill used to be the default in PrusaSlicer, but they changed it to grid when the MK4 came out with input shaping and much higher speeds. Straight lines gain most from the increased acceleration. Gyroid will now make your printer vibrate like crazy.
Good to know - don’t think my neighbors would be all to pleased with additional noise (and not me either).
This is also not cubic infill, that’s another one (which I would recommend over grid for structural pieces). I actually almost always use Adaptive Cubic infill, which saves a lot of filament.
Ah nice, it seems that the adaptive cubic will make larger pockets? Neither cubic nor adaptive cubic seems very… cubic to me, though. Why is it called this?
So far I’ve not been making any structural pieces, but that is something I will remember for when I do.
I also believe that your print would probably had turned out fine in the end, it doesn’t seem like there were any catastrophic failures in your photos, despite the noise.
Hm, OK, maybe - I think however it would have been difficult for me to keep it going when it sounds like I am destroying the printer for every layer

Do you know of a secure and private file drop where I could upload the file? I am not to keen to share anything from a personal account here.
