Or, you know, use something like Fedora that gives you both.

Can’t keep killing Palestininians if we piss off the conservatives that like the world’s richest Nazi.

What I hate is when they want you to store “secret” information like your mother’s maiden name/ first pet name for later verifications. You know these are stored in plain text of course. My own damn government does this stupid shit, and they’ve had several hacks of PII including gun registrations because as far as I can tell, nobody competent works in government IT.

Just get a virtual DID number from something like Voip.ms or virtualphone. There may be other providers out there that use crypto for payment for added privacy, but if all you want to do is be able to keep your real phone # off the grid, these work.

I’ll just use Tailscale until they fuck it up, which I’m sure they will, eventually. It’s not very hard to rebuild using something else for the 40 or 50 nodes I’m likely to have. I’ve done it before and I’m sure I’ll do it again.

This is what I’m afraid of happening if Linux got popular. I remember people saying the internet wouldn’t go to shit because it was decentralized and open.

I know I’ll get attacked mercilessly for this, but humanity has a way of fucking up the nicest things.

The only streamer I’ve ever paid for was Netflix but I only got a few years out of that before it became easier to pirate again. Frankly, the Arr suite is a pain in the ass compared to the above method.

Kodi, Seren add-on and a debrid provider like Premiumize gets me better service than any streaming provider. Multiple source streams on any show in the last couple decades and every movie way earlier than is available from any source I’ve ever seen. If its not available as a cached stream, I can queue a torrent file at their end and stack them up until I’m ready to watch it, but I’ve rarely had to do that.

This is a bribery scheme. It’s pretty fucking obvious.

Please, could we move to Known Space?

I just shake my head at people that think if you’re spinning out on the ice, just press the throttle harder. Fucking idiots.

Buttplugs R Us?

This is blatantly a bribery scheme, with untraceability as a feature. Everyone knew it was coming, and there’s nothing to be done about it because the recipient now controls the Justice Dept, which is the only organization that’s likely to have the resources to trace the payments.

Fixed, I was 1 level too high to show your comment easily.

I built an MPCNC for building kitchen cabinets, then managed to wreck it moving it, it was pretty fragile. I’ve been considering building a Lowrider since all I really would use it for is more cabinets and that seems pretty portable/storable with a full sheet print bed.

I eventually built a coreXY printer with a chamber (had to build my own since the patent wasn’t off for heated chambers yet, but then I’d built half a dozen printers already so no big deal) and I got pretty good prints with that, but I’d have to replace the hotend fan fairly often as it would get cooked and usually every time that would happen I’d have to do a coldpull.

I would use bluetape and gluestick to keep it down. When PETG came out, I just mothballed all that because it gave me everything I needed in ABS except maybe the rigidity, but I’d just design to compensate.

MPCNC?

What would you say are the quirks? I come from building my own printers for the last 15 years, so I’d say I’m fairly experienced.

What are the interesting features?

In another thread on this enshittification, someone pointed out a similiar enclosed CoreXY brand, Qidi, that just runs FOSS Klipper. Looked very comparable, with the upcoming generation looking to have an AMS-like multifilament feeder.

Seems like most of the models include a chamber heater for better prints, especially on ABS which I’d given up on without a heater. Comes with brass nozzle for regular filaments, and a steel nozzle for CF filaments. This has replaced the Bambu on my wishlist.

True. I’ve done that command for so long that I’ve kinda gotten gzip hardwired into my fingers.
