- Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad. 1 week ago:
Background: I just got my first printer (Bambu Lab A1 mini) last year. I am also not an engineer and, like you, don’t want the printer itself to be the hobby.
Based on my experience, and what I’ve seen others say online, Bambu Lab is still the king of “it just works”. If you’re not as ideologically motivated by right to own as I am, I’d say go with Bambu.
While I have zero experience with the company, Prusa seems to be the most consumer friendly, though they have their own issues. If I buy a second printer, it’s likely going to be the Prusa Core One.

Thanks. Not sure if this is what you meant. The shape is distinct but the colors are similar. My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on as a hobby.

I forgot about dev mode. How does that compare to pre-enshittified firmware?

- Comment on Upgrading from Bambu Lab A1 Mini 2 weeks ago:
I’m definitely an “it just works” guy, and I am by no means an engineer. For me the printing is the hobby, not the printer.
Multimaterial would be good, but only if it doesn’t have to purge between colors. I bought the AMS lite along with the mini, and while it’s convenient when I want to print something in a different color, only having one nozzle means a truly multi-color print takes orders of magnitude longer to finish unless the print itself is completely designed around the limitations of the single-nozzle setup. Having said that, if the MMS can also act as dry storage that would be a plus even if I primarily use one filament per print.
It’s less about specific build volume and more what I can fit into the existing space while providing more build volume than the Mini’s 7x7x7 inches. I’d say the overall footprint of the printer has to be less than 60 cm on a side, since the table my current printer is on is 60 cm deep.
Enclosure is also a must-have.
- Comment on Upgrading from Bambu Lab A1 Mini 2 weeks ago:
I was going to say about 10x10x10 inches, but after recalculating the dimensions of the latest thing I’m making (a pill bottle organizer) I may be able to squeeze it onto the mini, so the thing that prompted this post may be a non issue, at least for now. Continued suggestions are welcome though.
- Comment on Upgrading from Bambu Lab A1 Mini 2 weeks ago:
What exactly does the mini do that makes it worth keeping if I get a larger printer? I’m not sure I can justify owning more than one.

A wiki is probably what you want. I was going to suggest tvtropes, which is great for, say, a list of every superhero with X-ray vision, or every work of fiction containing dwarves, but I’m not sure that fits what you want.

I just checked this out. It’s not quite what I’m looking for right now but I can see it coming in handy later.

At the time of the OP I was testing federating two nodeBB instances. ActivityPub requires HTTPS AFAIK.

- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 5 months ago:
I’m attempting to run a NodeBB forum. I’m only assuming that web sockets was the issue because the first search result I came up with that matched my symptoms mentioned it.

- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 5 months ago:
I looked up Cloudflare tunnels and tried setting one up. Some things future readers may want to know:
- You have to set Cloudflare as your domain’s authoritative nameservers.
- You need to set up an account (not a problem) but also have to register a payment method, even for the free tier (no me gusta).
- Regarding NodeBB specifically, if you set up a tunnel, you can access the forum, even over HTTPS, but it fails when you try to log in. A few minutes of searching leads me to believe it has something to do with web sockets, and the solution requires you to partially expose your IP address, defeating the principle purpose for me to use cloudflare in the first place.

- Comment on Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware? 5 months ago:
Also, remote printing and monitoring are nice features, which would be a pity to lose.
I don’t see an easy way to accomplish this independent of Bambu’s servers, especially if you use the handy app on your phone.
- Comment on Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware? 5 months ago:
Slightly harder: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked
I assigned a static IP address to my A1 mini in my router, and made a firewall rule preventing all traffic originating from that IP from going to the internet. The printer is also in LAN only mode, but I periodically have to reconnect it to Bambu studio which is annoying.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
On Lemmy you can see (and search) a list of all the activity from every instance federated to your home instance. Looking at Ibis, which a few posters have mentioned on this thread, it has a discover page with a list of federated instances and articles on those instances. The current format is hardly scalable, but it’s a start.
But, as I said before, the issue is less about discoverability and more about editing. Just like I can post in this thread even though I’m on a different instance, you can edit an article on one instance even though you’re on another. The alternative as used by Wikipedia, is to allow anyone, account or not, to edit. Requiring someone to have an account on a federated instance would mitigate a fair amount of spam and ease moderation.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
In addition to discoverability, I’d say it provides a happy medium between letting every rando with an IP address edit a page and requiring account creation. Part of the point of the fediverse is to have (almost) everything in one place under a single account while still keeping things decentralized.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t doubt it, though MW seems hard to manage.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
This looks interesting.
Seems like it’s still early days yet, but are there plans to add things like namespaces and categories?
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
I’m not thinking of a single distributed wiki, but something more like Fandom where you can edit pages on other wikis that are federated to yours.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 5 months ago:
Easy hosting isn’t quite the issue. Dokuwiki is trivial to self host. What I’d like something that’s a happy medium between requiring account creation to edit pages and letting literally every rando with an IP address go to town.

I’d like to see a federated, self hostable forum platform. I believe NodeBB is implementing or has implemented activitypub, but while it’s open source it seems even less of a turnkey solution than Lemmy or Mastodon.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 5 months ago:
I’m getting two points from the article. One is addressed handily by the Fediverse, the other is not.
First the centralized (I prefer to say “urbanized”) nature of social media means a handful of companies control all the conversations. The Fediverse is a decent (though not perfect) solution to that problem, and I think everyone on here knows that.
However, the article also talks about the problems with the format of social media, not just who’s hosting the platform. On traditional forums, conversations can last for years, but on Reddit, Discord, etc. new topics quickly bury old ones, no matter how lively those old topics are. Sure, you can choose to sort by “last comment” which replicates the traditional forum presentation with topic bumping, but it’s not the default, even on Lemmy, so 90% of people won’t bother.
