• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is (Matrix) Element Server Suite overkill for a dozen users?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would suggest instead looking into the deployment via the very thorough system here:

  https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

  It may seem a little overwhelming at first due to the large list of options, but underneath it boils down to some simple variables in a file. Once complete, you can then add/remove components merely with a small edit and redeploy.

  I’ve been using this for about a year, after manually doing the systems for Element and Synapse for a few years before that and HATING how kludgy things seemed.

  Once on the Ansible deploy from above, features just work. It’s been a night vs day difference without trying to convince you to pay money any time you go into an interface.

  My few users (about 2 dozen) regularly do group calls via the newer Element Call stuff (RTC) and even with a high-latency connection from one of the users using satellite internet, things work smoothly.

  XMPP / Snikket might be a better fit for your needs, but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to try out the better solution for implementing Synapse (or other Matrix servers!) before just judging by the problematic corporate deployment.

  I still have a fully maxed out 68040 with the dimension board and display, long with the grey screen.

  Everything for it except the printer (crap anyway) and the floptical (heads rotted and cap damage).

  Love that machine despite shortcomings.

  I’m probably going to swap in a bluescsi or similar here shortly to get something better than the Fireball drive I put in around 2002. Need to check the caps on the boards too for leakage.

  This is so great. Thank you for sharing this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨good results so far with Elegoo Rapid PETG⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elegoo petg and PLA have become my go-to over the past 2 years. Rapid vs pro tend to affect me more with how brittle the end product is than printing speed. I’m using a K2 Plus, but also printed on Anker M5C.

  Fun detail: you can order 10kg packs for a good discount vs other shops if you hit their site directly.

  My only gripe is they don’t have variety packs of their fancier stuff. Some of their silk is gorgeous.

  I usually have gotten about 35-40% rh on my should out of the bag. I still get good quality at that level, but would warn to actively dry a bit if you are in a more humid area for sure.

  Those aren't mutually exclusive.... Probably a good chance his pants have turned magically brown around some of those psychos.
