I’m in the same situation - started with the same printer, put money and parts into it to get it to be reliable, and now I can just login to Octoprint and send something with 99% of prints just working. I wipe the build plate down, blast it with a few squeezes of canned air, and it just works.

But now these kids and their Bambus and multi-color print abilities…get off my lawn. Seriously, kids, you’re in my light and I’m trying to get this hotend adjusted…

When it’s someone else’s dumb thing it’s better for sure

Same issues here. I love GOS but I need basic things like SMS/MMS/RCS to work, and right now they just don’t.

Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

We used to use Malwarebytes Corporate Edition at work.

One afternoon all of our web servers stopped responding to traffic on port 443. I could RDC into the servers, and I could ping them, but most traffic wasn’t being passed properly.

Despite not having made any changes, I did everything I could think of to get them to work. I tried moving them to different switches, different static IPs, Wireshark showed packets flowing, but no web traffic.

I left the office. It was around 8 PM and I had been banging my head on my desk trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

I came back around 10 PM, mind clear and stomach topped off. I worked a few more minutes, then heard the Outlook ding.

Mass email from Malwarebytes CEO. Bad update. Blocked all class B IP addresses by mistake (guess which class we used). Mea culpa. So sorry. New update fixes things.

I immediately uninstalled MWB CE and boom. Services restored.

The next week we got our licenses refunded by our VAR and we never used that product again.

This got me too once. I was in the server room replacing old 110 punch panels/blocks with 8P8C connections. I lost track of cable connections, a mistake I have learned from, and I looped a patch cable into the same switch. Within moments the entire network went down.

Forty-five minutes later and we figured out the loop.

Another lesson learned: HP Procurve switches did not have Spanning Tree enabled by default.

Anyway, mistakes happen, especially in IT. It’s all part of the learning experience. My boss was the coolest, chillest guy in the world so I learned and moved on.

Welcome to the fediverse!

Definitely search for the communities you are interested in and click subscribe. There may be several similar communities on different Lemmy instances with different rules or vibes. Also, if the subscribe button says subscribe pending, you can ignore that.

Lemmy is amazing to be a “knight of new” as it were because the cross-talk, noise, bots, etc are just not there like they are in reddit. I’ve found communities I never would have known about.

Keep in mind Lemmy is very actively developed. If you do end up staying with Lemmy consider tossing a few dollars to the devs. I’ve always found the devs courteous and approachable when I’ve encountered a bug.

You’re good. Being a smaller engine though, I wouldn’t go much past that.

Pretty valid complaint seeing how the ARRL is sitting on millions of dollars in dues, yet has no idea how to run or secure a web site or application. Goddamn right the ARRL should feel nothing but shame.

Between this incident and the ARRL shutting their entire site down for a week to perform an upgrade (dev environment, anyone?), I have very little faith in the owners nephew or whoever is running the web services.

If you can’t run a website, take the millions of dollars in dues you get every year and hire a cloud computing company to run things. The status quo is untenable.

It’s confirmed here on Firefox on instance daring.lemmy.fan. You should file a bug on the lemmy-ui GitHub.

Edit: If you don’t want to or whatever let me know and I will be happy to do so.

Gonna do some research/reading about this and I’m being objective.

Thanks for sharing and replying so quickly.

Would you mind posting a link where I can read more about this?

boom

Oblig. XKCD:

Try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the external DNS in your router for testing. Does it work then?

Also, you may have DNS cached somewhere. You can flush your Windows DNS cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.

Subscribe pending and joined pretty much mean the same thing right now. I think it’s a bug but I’m not sure. I do know that Subscribe Pending instances work.

Old posts aren’t federated. As new posts roll in, they’ll start appearing.

I setup my lemmy log to go to a file as opposed to the console. Then it’s searchable, archiveable, etc.
