Yep, tried those too. I do appreciate the suggestion though, truly. It’s just not something I’m cut out for it would seem. I really do need to look at selling my printers and getting out of the hobby. It was fun for a while, now it’s just a chore. Which is probably why I haven’t done it in 2+ years, lol.

Yeah I went through his channel too but something about it just doesn’t seem compatible with my brain, lol. Like I said, I really should just sell my printers. They haven’t been used in 2+ years and are just sitting here taking up space and collecting dust.

This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.

I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet. Or was I suppose…

I went a little crazy on 3d printing during covid. I had a single printer prior but purchased two more. I haven’t printed on ANY of them in like 2 years. I end up just printing stupid shit or because I go so long between printing wasting way too much time to get everything dialed back in. Now I don’t even know what my slicing settings were and I would have to probably start from scratch. I should probably just sell my printers…

I worked at a tree farm in my teens and honestly if I could still do that making what I make now I would be all over that. Always outside, in great shape, got to run heavy machinery, it was great.

Damn, I feel old now…

This article is short on details but what I really want to know is WHERE is that data coming from and how the fuck does United have access to it?! Also, a follow-up question would be how does one ensure they don’t get access to that data? Is that even possible anymore?

I had that happen for a while too, somehow it thought I was using it too much or something that wasn’t for personal use. You can request a whitelist if you are so inclined. The process was pretty simple: https://anydesk.com/en/whitelist-request

After I did that I haven’t seen that pop back up in over a year.

I’m in a large company, 350k+, but our team of ~20 has different rules. The head of our team, my bosses boss, gives us a TON of flexibility to take comp time, take random days off and bill to the project (without taking PTO), etc. When my boss brought me on it was touted as a startup within a large company. I won’t say we can do ANYTHING, but outside of go-live weeks we can flex our hours a lot. Hell I cut out by like 2P or 3P every Friday.

Same, it’s glorious. That said, on the other side of the coin during go-live weeks I’ve worked multiple days in a row until midnight or later. So it balances out in the end.

Typically, very little. I have ~40 containers in my Docker stack and by in large it just works. I upgrade stuff here and there as needed. I am getting ready to do a hardware refresh but again with Docker that’s pretty painless.

Most of the time spent in my lab is trying out new things. I’ll find a new something that looks cool and go down the rabbit hole with it for a while. Then back to the status quo.

I love how freaking classy they are about these lawsuits too. It’s really just “knock it the fuck off guys.” They are asking for a whole $1 in damages:

We are also seeking a declaratory judgment that the Shelby County Board of Education’s actions violate the First Amendment’s free speech and free exercise clauses, nominal damages of $1, and a permanent injunction against the district’s discriminatory practices.

This looks amazing! Going to play with it tonight. Thanks!!

+1 to audiobookshelf, it’s an amazing project! My wife loves it too, she can browse through the collection and listen to whatever without having to look through a bunch of folders and whatnot. I recently added my brother and mother to the server and they have appreciated it too!

Not to mention (at least here in the US) roughly 60% of our power generation is fossil fuels. So you just shift the tailpipe emissions somewhere else. Assuming you don’t charge at home with a solar setup or something.

Really glad I made the transition from ESXi to Docker containers about a year ago. Easier to manage too and lighter on resources. Plus upgrades are a breeze. Should have done that years ago…

That’s fair, and honestly I feel like it’s a game you either love or hate. And really, play what you love and don’t let the haters bring you down. I was enthralled with the story being a fresh take on a post-apocalyptic world. There are some…quirks with the gameplay but still one of my favorite games of all time.

Horizon zero dawn.

Blue Iris in the other hand… just give me a damn version that runs on Linux natively and not some Wine bullshit.

Check out iSpy: https://www.ispyconnect.com/

It can even run in Docker (which is how I’m running it). Not as intuitive as BlueIris but the dev is super-active and responsive to new features and bug fixes. Been running it for a couple of years now and like it.

So here’s a novel idea, maybe stop driving people away from your business with constant rate-hikes, removal of content, killing new shows after 1 season, etc…
