- Comment on What the humidity level in your area? 5 days ago:
25%. My dehumidifier doesn’t go lower than that.

I think I have enough hardware laying around to serve as a dialup ISP for this. And the upstream bandwidth I already have is probably more than that of my dialup ISP 30 years ago.
- Comment on The Odyssey (2026) 1 week ago:
I read an interesting by a historian claiming that “The Sea People” weren’t a distinct people, but rather desperate refugees turned raiders due to the bronze age collapse after the trade networks collapsed.
He argued that, based on archeological findings, this collapse started in the north and gradually moved south, and to the island civilizations who hadn’t been severely affected yet, the crisis further north didn’t show until desperation had turned distant trading cultures into migratory Raiders.

Free except from the drive to get there. But the drive is a lot cheaper than those racks would cost.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
Vent fans at the top and the bottom. But it can be next to my work desk without the hardware getting annoying.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

It isn’t. Never testing that it’s compatible with the new hardware platform is.
- Comment on One Expensive Mistake 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, an Ariane 5 rocket failed because of a float being treated as a double, or something similar. I don’t remember the details, but what makes it embarrassing is that it was the result of recycling code from Ariane 4.

Ah, there you are… I wad about to link to the picture you posted in my extruder-cleaning-post the other day, hehe.
Personally I have no experience with Creality, but I’ll take your word for it.
- Comment on What's a good weather website 5 weeks ago:
Came here to suggest this. As a norwegian I have been using it since forever, but I wasn’t aware of how good it is for outside of Norway too until a friend of mine, who then worked with them mentioned that they had a surprisingly large user base from one African village.
I travel a lot for a living, so I often use it for places I am headed to on the other side of the world.
It’s run by the norwegian metrological institute, so their model is based on the same data you’d have with paid services.
- Comment on Friendly reminder to clean your extruder 5 weeks ago:
What’s that good? Not sure if burnt filament from a leaky assembly, or epoxy from trying to seal said leak.

Base everything on UTC, and you’ll avoid any issues where timezones and/or DST apply.
- Comment on Looking for feedback: First draft of multi-level guidelines for Fedecan and its various platforms (lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca) 1 month ago:
As a non-canadian, I of course disagree with number 1 in principle, but I agree in practice. Other than that, I find it fairly reasonable.
- Comment on What brand of filament do you trust that is not sunlu (no navy blue) 1 month ago:
The ones I’ve come to really like for their consistent quality results are:
- Prusament (PETG)
- Fiberlogy (ASA)
- eSun (ABS)
- Addnorth (Various)
- Comment on Recommendations for an aspiring newbie 1 month ago:
My first printer was way back when Prusa was but a set of instructions and suggestions. Prusa did a lot of the research that caused other companies to succeed. And seeing what Bamboo is doing with it, it’s important for me to support prusa as I detest closed ecosystems.
So when it was time to get back into the hobby last year, I went for a Prusa Core One, and I’ve had no regrets.
It’s an excellent printer that is easy to use, and it’s very versatile, so that’s my suggestion.
The price tag is a bit higher than the competitors, but I don’t mind - they floated the R&D bill for the entire industry, and that carries an interest.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 1 month ago:
My home servers have generally a lot smaller attack surface, as only a few ports are actually routed to them, so in theoey I could get away with a more relaxed approach. But I’m also a big believer in defense-in-depth, so I follow the same rules of thumb:
- iptables (or equivalent) that drops anything incoming that isn’t wanted
- any public facing service (except ssh) gets its own user
- disable root login via ssh
- ssh login with key only on any user in sudoers

- Comment on Advice for a newbie 2 months ago:
Calibrations are important, but some of the defaults work well out of the box. Don’t expect perfection from the start, aim for “good enough” and improve over time.
- Bed leveling (tramming) is mostly automated these days, since it’s such a vital step
- Extrusion multiplier (a.k.a. flow rate) needs to be done on a per filament basis, but it’ll probably work fine with defaults. Dialing this in is useful, but not super critical in the beginning.
- Pressure advance… eh, no comment, as I haven’t mastered this yet. Suffice to say my petg prints could be better, and this is the likely reason
Beyond that, filaments vary in quality. Try to stick to one brand and type that works well for you and your needs and once you’ve mastered that, try others.
And learn blender (or anything else that can export to .stl or other supported formats). It turns your printer into a proper household tool you wouldn’t be able to live without. My house has so many functional prints that I wouldn’t be able to go back to not being able to print whatever doodad I need.
- Comment on Storage?! In this economy!? 2 months ago:
Well, there’s a footnote on my end: Me taking the drives home is a bit of a grey area, as the procedures say that the drives are to be mechanically destroyed when no longer needed. It doesn’t specify needed by whom. And I do attack them with my angle grinder, so it’s in accordance with company policy.
And yes, my employer knows and is OK with it.
- Comment on Storage?! In this economy!? 2 months ago:
I usually scavenge old drives from work. On one hand they’re a bit smaller than I’d like them to be, but in the other hand they’re free except from the minor work and documentation involved in ensuring that no company related data remain.

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 11 months ago:
I started hosting stuff before containers were common, so I got used to doing it the old fashioned way and making sure everything played nice with each other.
Beyond that, it’s mostly that I’m not very used to containers.
