For rollbacks, I've been using Timeshift in Mint, and it has worked brilliantly.

I wonder why nobody has created a simple gui for Nixconfig.

I don't use CasaOS, I don't know the use case, or anything else, but the only right answer to "will try to limit data collection" is Fuck you.

For the love of God, or whatever, people!

STOP recommending that people use food preparation things to heat up material you have no clue about how safe they are. It's likely you are recommending people to poison themselves!!

Great advice! Use two food preparation appliances to heat a material you have no clue about what it offgases in addition to water.

Enjoy your food.

I do something similar. 1st- Never use something that will be used for food again. There are 15€ used microwaves listed in my local secondhand app, but I live in a small apartment, and I don't have the spare space.

2nd. - I don't do this stuff in the kitchen.

I have a small induction plate, which can actually be set to temperature or power level, and wich is surprisingly accurate! I spent a morning doing testing, and the damn thing would be within 5°C everytime.

I use an enameled pan, which has been retired from food use, and do this in the balcony. I shake it around every so often, with the temp set at 110°C.

It really irks me how a bunch of Youtubers ignore basic safety measures, like using your oven, microwave etc to dry silica, filament, anneal parts etc. We normally have no clue as to the modifiers, additives, etc, or even the actual effects of fumes of the base plastics (maybe there is research, but I haven't seen anybody looking for it)

I'm working on a cheapo enclosure, and already have designed and printed a cheap and cheerful filter, to use EVERY time I print, no matter what the filament. If I don't have hard data about the toxicity of a material heated in my breathing space, I'm going to treat it as toxic.

Safe by default.

Many phones need a charging port clean-up every so often

I've been using tablets since the first generation (Galaxy tab), and I must say that it kind of veered to that side after a while, since getting a convertible laptop. A few years back I got a Huawei tablet with a pen and keyboard, that had impressive battery, and it took the place of my convertible. While I'm a Linux-Android-occassional Windows guy, I now use an ipad (As much as I hate to admit, in the tablet space they are vastly superior), with keyboard and pen, for most of my away needs, and for general around the house stuff. I do a lot of graphic design and photo stuff, and thanks to Affinity's suite, I can actually do real work on the thing.

Sanchez is a pure politician, a party rat, who hasn't worked in a real job in his life. He simply wants to stay in power. He lacks any morals.

Sadly, on the other side of the aisle it's exactly the same...

I'm afraid I must disagree on some points.

While official numbers give an unemployment of 10.9, we must remember that there is a large underground economy, so actual numbers may be in the 5-6% range, or less.

I agree on the bureaucracy, but I think its downscalable.

Taxes I agree. They are proportionately larger than in most of the EU, and services worse.

On the military, a hard disagree. I know several people in the military, and as in may countries, you have hawks, but most of the army is professional, and very, very neutral politically. The image of a politically active military is an old image, from the dictatorship, 50 years ago. Even then, when a coup was attempted, the majority of the armed forces shut it down. That image of the armed forces is mainly a discourse used by separatist regions for propaganda (not saying that propaganda isn't used in non separatist regions, just different), and the hard left.

Have you taken a look at Sovol? Their SV08 is essentially a Voron. As for multi color, Bondtech is releasing their INDX tool changer later this year, wich in my opinion is far superior to an MMU. I don't know if it can be installed on the SV08, but if it is, it would be my choice.

 

No affiliation or anything. I’m simply stoked!

Elegoo Rapid PETG. I like PETG, but with my printer (Ender 5 Plus, slightly tuned; DD, All metal hotend, dual gear extruder, accelerometer…) regular PETG is sloooow. I’m already up to 180 mm/s it prints beautifully. As with all PETG it likes to be thoroughly dry. Once dry it prints like a PLA+. Beautiful definition.

I paid about 15€ per roll, but buying a 4 pack, it comes to about 12,50€ per roll, so about the same as PLA.

I’m just not buying regular PLA, or PETG anymore. The new generation of materials just leave the older ones in the dust. I had a few rolls of standard PETG that I had slowly been using up, but I sold the last 2, I couldn’t bear the waiting times.

I’m going to try a bunch of the new modified materials, like ABS plus and HT, ASA plus, and especially Polymaker’s HT-PLA-GF, a glass fiber high temp PLA that can be annealed in boiling water without deformation to withstand temps like 150º. Nuts! They are basically sold out until August, but once back in stock I’m buying the stuff.

Interesting times to be in the hobby.

 

We are happy, very happy, that you have joined the light side of the force, but here you are preaching to the choir. Go knock on doors and help others see the light. Oh, and sending some money to one of the thousands of FOSS projects that keep this running would be nice too.

Anyway, welcome again.

I currently have an HP micro server gen 8 with Xpenology with hybrid raid, which works fairly well, but I’m 2 major versions behind. I’m quite happy with it, but I-d like to have an easier upgrade process, and more options. My main use is NAS and a couple of apps. I’d like to have more flexibility, to easily have an arr suite, etc.

Considerdering the hassle of safely upgrading xpenology because of the hybrid raid (4+4+2+2 Gb HDDs) I-d like a setup which I can easily upgrade and modify.

What are my options here? What RAID options are there that easily and efficiently these these disks?

I don-t have the spare money right now to replace the 2Gb disks. Planned in the future

 

I've been using rustdesk for while, and it works very well for me. The news of it being somewhat opaque, and developed from China, makes me a bit nervous.

Is there a FOSS equivalent that won't make me jump through hoops, and be easily installed by someone else remotely?

I would like to be able to have it run at startup in Linux and windows, have a fairly complete feature set, like file transfer, copy paste, etc.

Also it'd be great if it could be easily installed by someone else remotely. I do SMB support, usually onsite, which is why it's not cost effective to pay for a Teamviewer or Anydesk license.

I'm taking a look through flathub, but recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

What do you consider to be the "Goldilocks" distro? the one that balances ease of install and use, up-to-date, stability, speed, etc... You get the idea.

I'm not a newb, these last few years I've lived in the Debian and derivatives side of things, but I've used RH, Slackware, Puppy :), and older stuff, like mandrake/mandriva and others. Never tried Suse or Arch, and while Nix looks appealing, I need something to put in production rapidly. I have tried Kinoite in a VM, but I couldn't install something (which I can't remember), and that turned me off.

Oh I'm on Mint right now, because lazy, but it's acting up with a couple of VMs, which I need, I really don't have the time or desire to maybe spend two days troubleshooting, and I'm a bit fed up with out of date pkgs.

 

Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?

Thay are allegedly a legal service where some nefarious actors provide torrenting plugins etc. I tried to find out how they were financed, and found northing but a site purportedly selling "Web3" advertising, and filled with technobabble nonsense. No address, no way to purchase their services no GDPR notice or anything...

All I can find regarding their safety are "It's legit, nothing has happened to me so far" comments in reddit and other boards.

They have your email, they host the service, they can track all you do...

Seems kind of fishy.

Ive tried it, ironically, to watch stuff that I pay for, I have Netflix, prime video, Disney... But Stremio gives me much higher resolutions.

Even though I live in a country where sailing the high seas is not persecuted, as long as you are the end-user and you derive no profit, I'm going to delete my account (made with an email address I have for bullshit stuff ), make a new one with a truly disposable email and get a VPN.

 

I'm having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can't get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing the folder with Samba, and can see it from another Linux VM, but not from windows. Any clues?

 

I have looked everywhere (so it's probably in front of my face). Where are saved posts? Are they in my instance, in lemmy? How can I find them?
