Oh no, you!
- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 6 hours ago:
Two negatives cancel each other out, so I think you should answer the question anyway.

One of the other question oriented boards have recurring questions about work place drama and changing positions. It has gitten to the point where I can see thr title qnd know who the poster is. Not mentioning names, but your post is different enough to know you’re not them.
- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 3 days ago:
I tried this during my weeb phase some 20 years ago.
I stumbled across a video lecture series om some torrent site, and despite being very old (fr m the 70s or 80s) it was actually pretty good for teaching everyday japanese.
I never progressed beyond the very basics due to life happening, but it got me far enough that I could at least grasp the general topic at hand. I’m sure I would’ve gotten a decent understanding of the language if I had kept at it.
Japanese is a fairly simple language with easy grammar. From what little Mandarin I’ve learned, I’d say the two are far enough apart that knowing one probably won’t help you much with the other.
- Comment on Beginner Guide to VPS Hetzner and Coolify 4 days ago:
I’m far from an expert, but I’ve been using Hetzner for close to 20 years at this point. Both their VPSes and the actual rent-a-server.
I skimmed the article and I didn’t notice anything blatantly bad in the approach. So they have my approval.

+1 for rfiff-backup. Been usinit for 20 years or so, and I love it.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 1 week ago:
At least some are real and common. I doubt this is true across the board, though.

- Comment on How do I make this work? Or should I give up? 1 week ago:
Start by approximates. Move the print head/bed so they’re only a few millimeters apart. Then find out where the bed is highest. Move to a different corner and tighten the screw there until it’s roughly the same height. Once all corners look the same, you might want to check the center just to make sure it’s not drooping. Afterwards, repeat the process with more accuracy.

Based on the picture and your explanation it sounds like this might be the issue, or at least one of them.
So, if I understand that design correctly, you tighten the screws going into those washer looking things, and the sprint pushes the bed up, causing it to stay in place?
If so, here’s what I’d do:
- Use a glass pane or something. They’re cheap, heat beds and print sheets are not.
- Bring the head all the way down.
- Unplug power so you can move the print head by hand.
- Find the highest point on the bed.
- Adjust the opposite corners further up (presumably by tightening the screws) until the print head is at the same distance no matter where you move it.
- Comment on How do I make this work? Or should I give up? 1 week ago:
The XY axises (axii?) need to be parallell to the heatbed, meaning that no matter where the print head moves, it’s always the same distance away from the bed.
A printed doesn’t have to be perfectly level relative to the earth, but it does have to be level relative to the print head.

I don’t think I have the necessary experience required to properly diagnose your issue(s), but I troubleshoot hardware and void warranties for a living, so hopefully my general advice can be useful:
The obvious part is to start troubleshooting from one end. And when “nothing” works, the correct end to start from is the end with least variables, so we’re talking very basics here. And from that you can tackle each problem as you properly confirm them.
So the first thing I’d do is to check that your temp settings are good for your filament. And can you verify that the temp shown is in fact the actual temp? Could be a busted thermistor. All checks out? Well, your hot end is probably find.
Next up, are you able to confirm that the extruded amount of plastic matches what should be extruded? I had a recent issue of over, trudging myself, and if this isn’t dialed in correctly it can get really messy, especially with PETG.
Any chance the nozzle is damaged? If it’s out of shape in the literal sense, it will be unable to lay down plastic in a precise manner.
And then there’s the part I always hated: Heatbed leveling. First, your heatbed needs to be level relative to your X and Y. The tiniest inaccuracy will make the whole project a nightmare. Precision calipers are your friend here.
Now, heatbed temperature, check the same stuff as you did with the nozzle. Correct temp set for the material? And is this the actual temp?
Now it’s time to ensure the Z offset of your nozzle is correct. Too high and it’ll just string instead of what it’s supposed to do. Too low and you end up with what I call nozzlesnot which can cause symptoms similar to a damaged nozzle, which might also have stringing as an end result.
If you made it this far, your printer is probably mechanically fine, so it might be environmental factors such as ambient temperatures. Also, I remember back in the day that some had issues with various filament manufacturers being really sloppy when making filament, resulting in varying diameter.
I don’t do PLA myself, so I won’t comment on print surface or your temperature choices.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Either way, I hope you get to the bottom of it.

Why not go truly selfhosters and build your own? Any PC + JBOD + ZFS, then add whichever services you need. Plenty of guides out there.

I’m not familiar with your source material. Are we talking about one continuous segment without stops, or can the walker rest at regular intervals?

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 2 weeks 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.
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not gay, let alone gay enough to know which musicals are and aren’t Broadway. I’ve seen quite a few musicals elsewhere, though, so I can be on the panel.

Only one way to settle this: A GAY-OFF!
- Comment on xkcd #3145: Piercing 2 weeks ago:
I think there was a movie where this concept was central to the plot and story. I don’t remember the name.
- Comment on This is because of a filthy print sheet, right? (more pictures inside) 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’ve even tried the same model rotated 90 degrees, and the issue stays in the same spot relative to the print sheet.
It’s worth noting that once the infill starts, the “washboard” evens out, resulting in an overall fine print.

Just to confirm the gist of what the admins have been saying in here, they don’t really care about your address or even the fact that you’re registered with a valid one.
Source: My account has an obviously bogus e-mail address associated with it. (I don’t remember what exactly). By apply for ngwhat little charm I have, I still have a valid SJW account.
Sure, I won’t be able to do password recovery via email and other QoL stuff, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 3 weeks ago:
Nah, this was ages ago. I don’t remember the exact encryption strength, but it was pretty low, even by yesteryear standards. This was a remnant from the age when encryption basically meant cryptography was ruled by whichever government could find the biggest autistic savant.
- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 3 weeks ago:
Not just PGP, but any encryption strength above a certain level was considered “munitions” from a legal standpoint. Because of this, finding a windows Ssh client was a PITA for quite a while.
