Yup, there’s no kinkshaming here

Under Tony Blair they were all merged into Department of Highland Security

90% Secure shell, 10% hush

A USB crapgadget built around a raspberry pi; It can record audio, stream video, mine bitcoin, it has a local LLM running, it takes voice commands, and it enumerated as a flash drive if you connect it to a host.

And it’s pretty awful at all those things.

All web servers are servers. Not all servers are web servers.

Web servers specifically serve HTTP and/or HTTPS, but there’s a myriad of other things. FTP, Minecraft, databases, mail, just to name a few

I wouldn’t say overpriced, as that carries the implication that nobody should pay that much.

But that it’s pricier than some competitors, sure. But they’ve basically floated the R&D cost for the entire industry, and that cost carries interest.

Already been to a few, but I never had the chance to visit Kenya

Prusa walked so other manufacturers could run. 15 years ago prusa were the ones who made 3d printing a viable hobby for the rest of us. And all this while keeping their designs and code open source.

Today I view the extra I pay today for their products as a well deserved reward for their integrity.

Joseph Prusa must be a happy man nowadays

Any chance the filament is unevenly extruded from the manufacturer? Try measure the spool in few places with some calipers to verify that the filament thickness is exactly 1.75mm, and that it doesn’t vary.

Also, might be worth it to check your flow rate/extrusion multiplier setting to ensure that the amount of plastic extruded matches what it is trying to do.

Sound advice outside of 3dprinting too

Your comment made me think it might be stripped teeth on belt(s) or gear(s)

From a 3d printing perspective, I have absolutely no idea.

But from the perspective of troubleshooting electronics, that’s a pretty awful situation: electrical shocks can cause all sorts of weird havoc with unpredictable behavior and unintuitive symptoms. If I was in your situation I would seriously consider cutting my losses short and replace ALL of the electronics and save myself from a major headache.

Source: I was tasked with fixing an MF/HF radio station that had been struck by lightning. And the ship it was on was only available around 0300 in the morning. I replaced so many components, including the ones that threw an error, but to no avail. I ended up replacing the entire station, antenna and tuner included.

Blender for most things, freecad sometimes

I built a Prusa i3 from scratch eons ago. With enough of effort, and a more modern nozzle and extruder, you should be good. You probably want to have some 3d printed parts as part of the assembly, so see if you can find someone nearby.

I don’t have experience with hosting lemmy specifically, but from what I hear it doesn’t require much other than being a bit RAM-hungry. Add some swap space, use the instance primarily for yourself, and you should be good.

Hosting does not attract CSAM on its own. Anonymous uploads do. Only host services that you find useful yourself, and maybe sharing it with friends, and that’s a reasonably safe start.

Does sshd count?

Beyond the “default” stuff, I always seem to end up with a setup that involves linux + apache + mod_perl + postgresql for various purposes. And by the way, that’s the only proper LAMP stack in my book, and I will die on this hill.

Normally it doesn’t matter. The only restrictions is in terms of who can buy domai s of that cou try to begin with (some cou tries have restrictions on that), and what sort of content is allowed in such domains. Other than that, it’s OK.

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.
