This is similar to what I do.

I have a USB drive with the whole bootloader + decryption keyfiles on it. I remove it while it is running as everything is stored in RAM and already booted.

Downside being it has to be plugged in to update the boot partition during an upgrade.

Just a note that dry canning is pretty bad and has a much much higher chance of botulism than other canning methods. (Botulism spores must be kept at-heat at 160C dry heat for over 2 hours, not the oven temperature, but the full temperature of the medium itself)

It doesn’t matter here much because it is already powdered, shelf-stable mix, but in general.

It’s funny, because often they aren’t prettier. Well optimized and well made games from 5 or even 10 years ago often look on par better than the majority of AAA slop pushed out now (obviously with exceptions of some really good looking games like space marine and some others) and the disk size is still 10x what it was. They are just unrefined and unoptimized and try to use computationally expensive filters, lighting, sharpening, and antialiasing to make up for the mediocre quality.

London population: 8.8 million

Twin cities combined population: 3.6 million

London public transport: pretty damn good, connections everywhere, not an insane price

Twin cities public transport: almost non-existant, insane parking prices

London police: sometimes reasonable and lightly armed

Twin cities police: notoriously corrupt, heavily armed, use constant excessive force on civilians

Mystery solved.

For the low low price of 50€ for a 30g part!

And you are often paying 140-200 for a pi nowadays to make it have the same usability as a laptop (pi, power supply, sata hat, data drive because SD cards simply fail after a while under server IO) while you can get cheap used laptops for 0-100.

So unless you are running it for more than half a decade (which rarely happens with selfhosters for a main server), you are probably spending more in total on the pi.

I would be interested in how things like MATLAB and octave compare to R and python. But I guess it doesn’t matter as much because the relative time of those being run in a data analysis or research context is probably relatively low compared to production code.

Does the 2.4 have auto z calibration? That is what really makes a “set and forget” machine when you switch nozzle sizes and such and it with auto adjust.

With my prusa MK3, I calibrate the z offset every time I switch filaments and recalibrate every time I switch nozzles which takes a lot of active time.

Yep, you can get an m.2 NVMe to USB3 converter very cheap and stick any m.2 nvme drive in it. (Also sata versions exist for m.2 sata)

Much safer solution for your data.

Is this the same Bose company that makes the standard Bluetooth ANC wireless headphones that everyone and their mother uses if they aren’t using earbuds?

I wonder how financially viable it is nowadays

Very cool! Hole looks small for a v60, but I like pottery videos like this!

I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.

I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.

But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won’t work.

It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won’t work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)

LocalSend.

No more USBs ever (outside of install media). So so simple, fast, and works on all devices and FOSS.

It is really the best UX of any file sharing app I have experienced (outside of airdrop I guess, but obvious problems there)

Okular is also a favorite of mine.

Fair, but very very very often (unless you are a full time daily user of the commandlet and all objects you may run into or have a photographic memory) you don’t know the actual specific property or object exact verbatim and have to rely on a very quick search to remember that one object you used 3 months ago once that you need now for example. Or you want to see where/if something is referenced in another subset of programs like a specific IP, another program, a resource taken up, etc…

That is mostly what grep is used for: discovery and reference, which powershell I don’t think has a substitute for so instead you have to sort through documentation and forums.

No grep though as far as I could find… There was a similar cmdlet IIRC, but it was extremely limited and didn’t work well (this was years ago though)

There is also leantime.io that I have been hosting for 5 years or so. It is a bit more than planka or tarallo as far as scope I think, but it has integrated kanban, gannt charts, and hour logging which is all I need for my personal projects.

It’s funny because everything you describe is exactly the problems my company had with all of our laptops on windows 11 and not linux, every single one has been reported dozens of times with windows 11, especially on 24h2.

Plus additional like installing printer drivers smashing Microsoft office fonts together, teams in a restart loop because an update changed a registry value that is just plain broken, even a problem where windows secretly and silently mutes the microphone, but says literally everywhere that it is enabled and unmuted such that you have to use the audio troubleshooter to unmute it (and now that doesn’t work because they replaced the audio troubleshooter with a shitty LLM that literally only checks if there are drivers installed).

Laptops not going to sleep when you close them is also like the #1 issue on all windows forums because of stupid fucking modern sleep that you can’t disable.

Your cloud example is exactly right and exactly what we want to NOT HAPPEN.

They shoved the cloud so much down our throats so that they can force you into monthly income-sucking unneeded subscriptions. That is it. That is the single reason everyone did it.

The result is now the average user has a much worse experience overall. One literally has to fight with Microsoft products to save things on their own computer. IoT and smart products literally won’t function without connections to their “cloud”. Phones come without SD card compatibility and with low flash memory to force you into cloud subscriptions. Now every damn piece of software is a way overpriced subscription that almost all originally started as “switching to cloud infrastructure” (fucking adobe creative cloud).

The “cloud” has had so many data breaches and people data have been stolen, siphoned off, lost due to bugs, and sold to earn even more cash on the side.

A huge portion of the general corporatization and bad enshittification of digital services and software in general can be attributed to “the cloud shoving down our throats” that you describe.

AI is looking to do the same thing except castrate peoples’ digital skills, critical thinking skills, transcription skills, and writing skills in order to siphon more and more of your income off in the form of AI subscriptions while they double dip and sell everything you ever say to it and triple dip in mining everything you say to it as R&D that you pay to do

Companies need to do the fucking R&D themselves with their revenue of a small country and stop forcing regular people to pay to be their alpha and beta testers and focus groups, and people gobble that boot up so hard because LLMs have a few small areas where they are slightly useful and can save 10 minutes per day and make them not have to critically think, so people will literally sell their data, their already small income, and their soul to save 10 minutes, and in 10 years the digital experience will be even more shitty and degraded than it got after “the cloud.”

Your usecase is the exact definition as using LLMs as accessibility and to actually better the user experience for certain people which is not the goal of any AI company or 99% of LLM integrations

TD;DR

Non-consentual cloud shoving has caused newer generations to think that paying corporations every month to save files is normal and that your data is not yours and always corporate property ™®©, along with the decimation of understanding simple file structures. You can actually talk to teachers and professors and they unanimously say that tech literacy has nosedived.

Now with the LLM shoving, they are trying to force the new generation to have to pay subscriptions to think, write, compose, draw, and get information by stripping them of those skills.
