This is normal behavior. There is much more to the JVMs memory usage beyond what’s allocated to the heap - there are other memory regions as well. There are additional tuning options for them, but it’s a complicated subject and if you aren’t actually encountering out of memory issues you have to ask if this is worth the effort to tune it.

I record everything on Plex off an antenna/hdhomerun and fast forward through all the cruft. We can watch about 3-4 hours of coverage each hour depending on the sport. There’s no way I could watch it live. Plex will get a bit confused about whether or not an episode is new or not, so to prevent it missing anything I post process each file into a new library and fix up the episode name with a timestamp. This does result in some repeated recordings, but we just delete any matches we’ve already seen. Been doing it this way for the last few Olympics and it’s manageable.

I love this feature too - never having to worry about filament running out and using up the last bit of every spool is so handy.

Actually native encryption has been a feature of ZFS for a few years now. It’s nice not having to have an extra LUKS layer.

XFS does not do snapshots, replicas, and all the other myriad of things that ZFS does.

ZFS for nearly everything plus ZFSBootMenu EFI on root data pools. Get a bad upgrade? No problem, boot a previous snapshot (auto created with a pacman hook), which I had to do recently when 6.6.39 LTS kernel had a bug. Snapshots are also great when doing things such as upgrading postgres, hass, Plex, etc.

It’s not as much as you might think, plus you have to purge to switch filaments with a single nozzle design. I would argue my Bambu saves filament on the balance because print failure is so low.

Simple - I don’t worry about it at all, I just load up a second spool of compatible material and let the printer switch when the first spool runs out (X1C with AMS).

Interesting! I haven’t had issues with ABS at stock temps in my X1C - 90C for the build plate - and I print a lot of large flat ish designs. I have had more trouble with PETG warping, and for HIPS I have to crank up the first layer to 110, then 100 for subsequent layers of it won’t stick to the Engineering Plate with glue stick at all.

My chamber temps do tend to be a bit lower, since I have an exhaust fan hooked up the carbon filter fan output to vent outside since ABS and HIPS fumes are nasty.

But yes, I’ve found 10C or so can make a huge difference when things do go south, it just hasn’t been an issue on my X1C for ABS, fortunately. Interesting to see how much a towel improves your chamber temps though!

Overall I love my X1C, one of the best decisions I made, don’t miss my old kludgy FlashForge Creator Pro and all its quirks one bit.

This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.

Don’t know why you are being voted down, you are 100% correct. RTLAAU.

Nope, it doesn’t work that way. You have to umount it. You could reboot after removing it from fstab, but that’s a bigger hammer than necessary.

You need to move the service file to the right directory, for starters.

Nope, they should not be executable.

I use syncthing all over the place for this sort of thing. I have some sync directories that are multi way synced across multiple devices, others that are one-way drop targets to a specific device, others that are for operations like backing up photos. It’s quite excellent with a good sync algorithm that rarely results in conflicts.

Another suggestion for Darktable. It handles this case of mixed types transparently. It’s a big thing to learn, but extremely powerful and capable, and you don’t have to know all the corners of it, just enough for your workflow.

FreeCAD. It’s fantastic but takes some getting used to. I recommend the Ondsel fork - it’s still free and open source except for the cloud storage which you can ignore. Ondsel includes some newer features and some interface changes.

When I’m forced to, and not before then. X works perfectly well so there’s no reason for me to switch to something else with less features.

Reboot to the snapshot you took of the root fs before starting the update, then just rerun the upgrade. If you are using btrfs (or ZFS) make use of its features so you never have this sort of problem.

It’s not that bad, glue and screw. Remove the inner board from the drawer front and reattach it to the drawer first. You might have to clean up the MDF a bit. Use filler if you have to, maybe, but don’t use nails. Then reattach the drawer front - again with screws. It might not look perfect, but it’ll probably look fine when the drawer is closed. Consider wood block fillets at the interior corners (sacrificing a bit of space).

Alternatively you could rebuild the drawer frame, using the same drawer front so it matches.
