I think I’ve just never worked in an environment like this it was always either a startup where nobody cares about branding of some tool (also there wouldn’t even be a discussion about it) or places where it wasn’t a priority as long as it worked because menagerial class limited in numbers so they couldn’t poke where it wasn’t required.

Your work environment is bad if they are so easily distracted by branding and can’t deal with ‘unporfessional’ and ‘weird’ things.

If your goal is to make a working gun, it’s pretty achievable, repairing or restoring existing one is obviously quite a bit harder.

Prometheus + grafana. It’s overkill tbh, most of the services restart automatically and I mostly ignore it. (it’s an artifact from life where I cared about it)

healthchecks.io and matrix.

I would at least try it, looks nice!

Right, $14-30/m actually adds up to hundreds and is less reliable.

I know, I know super duper clouds, six nines of availability for cloud services etc., yet github (for example) fails more often then my media/git/file/print server on 10 y.o. laptop with tens of terabytes of media and data, that is less maintened and exists in a far worse conditions (comparison is incorrect but the fact stays).

Interesting article, lots of information.

Anyway, I haven’t printed PLA for some time (years really) and recently got a few spools for free. Newest one was 3 years old, oldest 9. Out of 6 spools only one was unusable (unopened, bambulab, i believe, it turned into oily paste), two opened spools were really dusty and first layer on the spool got brittle, underneath they were fine. Oldest was verbatim and it was perfectly fine.

Support fins when added during design phase are insanely good, additionally you can use support “wedges” for internal geometry, huge bonus is ease of removal (don’t really care about visual aspects).

I don’t have any personal experience, but there are some interesting experiments being made by spanish guy with fully printed linear bearings and ptfe tubes.

Yeah, stratsys supporters.

Hopefully bbl will appeal and win.

Often arch gets newer stuff at the same time or later than fedora.

Dunno, some homeless guy with schizophrenia probably isn’t ahead of his time and just ill. (I get it, they mean crazy in the sense weird)

You don’t need to mod the easy ones, tho

That’s a hardcore throw into the hobby, e3v1 is one of the least easy to start ones.

Yeah, but being voted emperor is a weird ceremony as well, no?

Earlier emperors needed a lot of ceremony about actually wielding power as first citizens of republic didn’t they?

Optimistic. Thanks, will look it up.

Interesting, did they call it world war 1 or just world war?

First world war wasn’t named as such before the second one, and it wasn’t characterized just by military action happening everywhere, but by absolute number of casualties and scale of it. Same with the second one.

7 years war took maybe a million lives, while battles for gallipolli, ypres, lviv, somme, etc. etc. took anywhere from 500k to 1.2m each.

They were filthy and miserable, compared to modern people, obviously not to the extent of TV portrayals, but they weren’t actually able to take shower every day or have 5 day work week and work days of ~8 hours.

And nothing of value was lost. One r*ssian empire gone, next one rose.

I’ve tried it a few days ago, clever trick, works great. BUT it’s slow as hell, like 2-3 mm/s.

Lead poisoning probably didn’t impact empire in any significant way, also romans were aware that lead is poisonous. Insane instability of later empire might have much bigger impact on fall of western empire.

IIRC the whole premise of Infinite Stratos was dumb, like there are super weapons and they are controlled completely by a single peson that just decided that women won’t start wars. Then the said person apparently reverses that decision because reasons. So it’s a bad harem with bad plot.

Share and embed 3D models anywhere online

For anyone that never heard about sketchfab and never will again.

Depends on the mood, really.

Modern myths aren’t sexy. 😝

It prints worse than it looks, right?

Do you measure better only by healthcare? A progress was made in almost every facet of life. Even in places where access to modern healthcare is limited or nonexistent.
