It was more than kernel anticheat from Valorant that I was aiming at.

There’s an easy solution to that too: Don’t buy games with kernel anticheat.

“Traffic cameras have been shown to make roads safer…”

Gonna put a biiig [citation needed] on that one, chief. The only thing red light cameras have actually been shown to do is increase revenue for the government that operates them (and the vendor that installs them, of course).

I’m pretty sure the IIHS study is the only one that concluded a net positive effect from the use of cameras, and then only specifically that they reduced the incidence of fatal collisions. This is supported by other studies which show the frequency of t-bone collisions decreases and the frequency of rear-end collisions increases.

ECS/EKS: The ocean belongs to someone else.

I don’t have to, I watched Planet of the Apes

That surgeon general’s warning sent me into a giggle fit.

No. Symlinks and hardlinks are two approaches to creating a “pointer to a file.” They are quite different in implementation, but at the high level:

• Symlinks can point to other filesystems, hardlinks only work on the same filesystem.
• You can delete the target of a symlink (or even create one that points at nothing), but a hardlink always points to a real file.

In both cases, the only additional data used is the metadata used for the link itself. The contents of the file on disk are not copied.

It’s all gcode.

This is neat but the selling point for me with the Pebble is the e-ink display. If repebble fails though, my next watch will be a Pine. Hopefully my Versa 2 holds on for a bit longer 🤞

It’s possible that you’re going too slow. It sounds nuts, but I’ve seen degradation of print quality on my homebuilt ANET A8 by going with lower speeds and trying to play around with flow rates.

What I ended up doing with that machine was printing a series of temperature columns, flow rate columns, and speed columns to zero in on the smoothest print. I did all that with my most commonly used PLA and then PETG. I’ve had to make very small tweaks for some variants (for example, matte PLA requires about 4% more flow rate than my baseline).

It’s been years so I don’t remember exactly, but I think I went through three loops of the towers: Find best temp (five degree steps between 180-220C), use that temp to find best flow rate, use those two to test speed. Loop back and do each test again using the best result from the prior two and adjusting each floor of the tower in smaller increments. I think I only had to do temp twice. My profile for that machine and my bulk 3DMARS PLA filament is 208C at 105mm/s and 103% flow rate.

The SV08 that I’ve been using recently is a completely different animal (corexy vs bedslinger). I haven’t had to tweak much at all to get ridiculously fast and good quality prints. I’m actually about to install the enclosure kit and try out ABS for the first time. Since I set up this machine I haven’t even powered on the A8.

Also, have been using Orca exclusively without issue so I can’t really lend advice there.

Good luck!

Sovol has been generally decent in my experience (SV08), but they’re kinda positioned between the “tinker” and “turnkey” markets. What wall are you running into?

Bambu would have been my recommendation before they tried to lock people into the cloud connection. They’ve reversed course (for now) due to the backlash, but they’ll do it again when they think they can get away with it.

At this point I’d probably say Prusa, but I don’t have firsthand experience with them so that’s based solely on what I’ve read. If you’re looking for something that will “just work” you’re going to need to search for what’s in your price range and then read everything you can about the models in question on support forums and reddit (ew). You can also learn a lot by watching YouTube videos but you have to be really careful to see past the “they gave me this for free/paid for the video so I’m going to minimize the negatives” crap.

I kinda disagree with this, in certain contexts. There is some value in learning how the machine works by self-assembling a kit (or buying off-the-shelf parts and assembling from an open-hardware guide). Identifying the things that can be upgraded, tinkering with firmwares and nozzles, printing parts to upgrade the machine itself… all are a fun aspect of the hobby, if you’re interested in the hardware side.

But if you just want to make figurines from squirty plastic, then yeah just buy a moderately-priced, well-supported turnkey printer (though probably not a Bambu, because they’re sliding toward enshittification).

I don’t necessarily agree with it, but there’s the third option of just disabling SELinux and removing the frustration entirely.

…or to anyone who can walk into a big box store and grab a product off the shelf.

…but you have to get whatever it is you’re transporting to the moon first

No, but you’ll have much more overhead. I have a VM that hosts all Docker deployments which don’t need much disk space (most of them)

This is a big point. One of the key advantages of docker is the layering and the fact that you can build up a pretty sizeable stack of isolated services based on the same set of core OS layers, which means significant disk space savings.

Sure, 200-700MB for a stack of core layers seems small but multiply that by a lot of containers and it adds up.

Probably useful for these kinda people

Common or not, it’s still fucking awful and the people who promote this nonsense should be ashamed of themselves.

Can we just let this system die already? ffs

• When you’re trying to make it level and hit the studs with your fasteners, it’s much easier with a stick than a whole cabinet carcass.
• Cleats make the cabinet easy to install and remove.
• French cleats have a substantial amount of bearing surface and are extremely stable as a result, even without additional fasteners.
  • That said, for a cabinet I would probably still drive a screw from the inside through the back panel into the cleat to eliminate any chance of a strong bump from underneath knocking the cabinet off the cleat. You know, like when you drop that last m4 nut on the desk and it bounces into the corner and you have to reach over your project and soldering iron and cup of coffee to retrieve it and then stand up too quickly in triumph and bang your head off the underside of the cabinet…
