Don't know if this is the right comm. Let me know if there's a better one.

Inthe last few days I noticed that the results of some public searxng instances has gotten way worse (mostly cyrillic/chinese text when searching english text with :en).

Does anyone else have that problem? Die google start the next anti-consumer tactic to push their AI garbage?

Doensn't look like he moth larvae pictures I found online. Looks a bit similar to the larvae of a Dermestidae. But still not sure.

Sorry for the low quality picture. It's hard to make macro images.

Zoe Baker and Anark release a video in the same week? Let's fucking gooooo! ❤️🖤

Hi!

I'm supplying a small camp I'm participating in with Internet/Wifi, so I built an x86 OpenWRT router with an LTE modem... it took forever, but now it's working. (camp is quite outback for open wifi routers) So now I thought: What if we could share files for... anything easily via the router without setting up SAMBA on their phones or whatever.

So I thought of services like Sharedrop, or drop.lol, or litterbox.moe or pastebin or whatever. And that it would be super convenient to fileshare without the Internet or whatever.

There are a lot of self-hosted options available but which ones run on that 8GB OpenWRT router I set up. (Should be easy - that's a powerhouse for writeaple drive space in a router.

So: what's the best idea here? I can set up a http server, but I guess an ftp server would work as well. Althoug it would be perfect if it worked with phones and ad-hoc filesharing (download and upload, preferably with QR-code generation).

I know stuff like magic wormhole or localsend or warp, but all of those are a bit of a hassle for noobs to setup (i.e.: opening a firewall, which you shouldn't do if you don't know what you're doing). That's why I was thinking: hosted in the router.

You got any ideas what I can run on my potato of a server/beefcake of a router?

Hi!

I have a subsonic instance running but I rarely listen to Albums. Stuff I really like are DJ performances like by the channel The Moment.

So I thought: why not download and self-host them before Google makes Youtube sign-in only, (like Elon and Facebook did).

That stuff is probably quite hard to organize. But the type of music simply breaks the common services, like Jellyfin, or Subsonic.

I know of funkwhale. But I'd like to keep the contents private. I just wanna listen to music at work (so being open to the web is a plus). I thought funkwhale is a bit too... "social" for me. I'm a (re)uploader, not creator.

You got any ideas? Maybe a youtube-cloner with audio-only support? (I know how to download videos already)

Edit: Of course, I'd download the sets legally, e.g. from their patreon discord, or whatever. ;)

Also: I know that restricting it to my VPN would be ideal for security and legality reasons. But that's a bit inconvenient. And I want to check my options.

Hi!

A bit of background/motivation: Sharing photos of protests can be an important part of the PR of political organizations. However, not everyone feels safe sharing their faces in connection to political organizing. That's why usually, faces are pixellated, or people wear face covering masks (which might be illegal on protests in some juristictions). Pixellated/hidden faces are quite ugly to normies, though, which can reduce the effectiveness of the publication.

So I had this idea: What if instead of pixelating the faces, I run some CV software on the image and all the faces get swapped with the faces of Hedy Lamarr, Diego Luna, or JC Denton. I remember that Snapchat could do live faceswaps with the selfie cam ten years ago, so some desktop software like that shouldn't be too hard to find in 2025, right? /j

Unfortunately, all the stuff I managed to find was some computer science projects in which you train some monster model with one hell of a dataset of each face you want to replace/emplace (which defeats the purpose of anonymizing political activists). Or some obnoxious AI startup which is waaaaay too busy sucking off Elon Musk and/or Sam Altman. I don't want to give my money/data to some doomed AI startup which ends up selling our likenesses to the NSA.

TL;DR: Is there some kind of desktop software which detects faces in an image and swaps them with another face? It's ok if there's only a framework (as long as it's not as bad as all the horrible OpenCV results you find in online tutorials).

Edit: I found something that I can work with

Doctored screenshot of youtube:

You see a video with the description "LA protests LIVE: View from Los Angeles" by the Associated Press. The Thumbnail has been doctored to show a screenshot of the Episode S2E08 ("Who are you?") of the TV Show Andor, where in the episode...

I got a new Biqu H2V2 for my Ender 3 pro , since myold hotend started getting unreliable and that was a great excuse for yet another upgrade.

I wasn't happy with the carriage holder I printed, so I wanted to print a new one. After afew hours of printing, I needed to abandon one part, since it was incredibly messy with blobs of PLA gooped on the print. Since I needed the new carriage mount, I didn't think anything off it and simply abandoned that part and continued the other ones.

Today, I saw that the heating block is completely gooped up with PLA (see pictures). So now, I got two questions:

1. How should I remove that gunk? I was thinking o| carefully peeling of everything without the silicone sleeve while the hotend is at a low PLA-bending temp, like 150°C, or 175°C.
2. What caused this? Flowrate too high (the prints look the part)? Too fast extrusion? Heatcreep?

Thanks in advance. (:

Hi!

I've daydreamed about getting a cutter plotter without actually planning on really getting one. Too expensive and shelfspace-consuming for something that I'm not going to actually use that often.

Then I remembered that I could "just" mount a dragknife on my Ender-3 pro to do the job (maybe get one of these fancy quick-toolhead-changing systems as an excuse to tinker with CANbus, or something ;).

After a bit of online search, I found that I'm hardly not the first one with that idea. I've found a few videos, posts on reddit and files on thingiverse/printables, but nothing too in-depth. So I wanted to ask y'all if you know any resources to check out on this. Some github-pages style homepage of someone would be ideal, but I'm not too hopeful that there's something out there if I haven't found it yet.

Things I think I've found out:

• Roland Cutting Plotter Vinyl Cutters are apparently the way to go. With 45° for vinyl.
• I can use gcodetools to create gcode from svgs. The exact details aren't clear to me, though. Probably gonna have to create a klipper macro for this.
• I can simply attach a cutter to my toolhead, or use something like the BTT hermit crab for a more fancy approach

Things I'm still not sure how to do:

• If I'm using a BL-Touch - how should I handle z-homing? Can Klipper use BL-Touch for z-homing with an endstop-failsafe? Should I just monitor the print by hand?
• Is there a comprehensive guide on the materials?

Do you have any experience on that topic?
