Zigbee all the things.

A hub or a zigbee dongle with home assistant is open, extensible, reliable, and doesn’t need a dozen bespoke apps to work.

Akshually, we’re called lurkers.

This is the first thing I have heard from her about what she’s working on since she had her “wings clipped”. Hope she is still doing good…

Or simply passing by places that the politics of the week deem undesirable

Writer Cory Doctorow coined the neologism “enshittification” in November 2022, though he was not the first to describe and label the concept.[1][2] The American Dialect Society selected it as its 2023 Word of the Year.

Revolt is kinda “centralized”. You can host your own version, but they seem to actively discourage you from doing so.

Biden did get some new appointees on the board: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/people/2022/05/usps-board-is-now-mostly-biden-picks-following-latest-senate-confirmations/ but i’m not sure what the hold up is now.

Is this loss?

I hear ya. I know they’re not all old, and I know they are not all weird. I’m just amused that it seems that such a trite + petty label is finally rankling their jimmies because all the other labels that stunningly apply to a lot of the conservatives in office don’t seem to bother them in the least. As if … they already knew about the other ones. The MAGA conservatives waste no time slinging all sorts of generalized labels, thinking that it makes them seem stronger, but in reality, it’s just … weird.

Because they’re old, and weird.

Amoral? “Thou shall not bear false witness …” That’s one of the big ten list …

I think it’s not widely front-and-center because it’s kinda fiddly, especially with folks with customized printers and there are caveats that can damage the machine or ruin the print if you are not careful. Sadly, I think that some of the more ‘closed’ slicer/printer systems could support it more reliably because the dimensions of the head + arm are much better known and the tool path can be planned much more precisely.

https://docs.mainsail.xyz/overview/slicer/prusaslicer#enable-exclude-object <-- how to configure Prusa to label objects so mainsail/klipper can individually select and skip them.

Like I mentioned, I have the most experience with Prusa + my Ender3 ( w/ a RPi3/Kilpper & mainsail; and a crtouch sensor) . I’d wager that other slicers could do this too, but I"m not sure of their setup.

Keep in mind that if you slice multiple parts to be printed at a time, then a failure on one part means the whole batch is potentially compromised.

I have the most experience with PrusaSlicer, and have used the multiple part one at a time option to print multiple parts at once. You have to tell it the dimensions of your extruded head, so it doesn’t crash the part , and if you have a bed slinger, you have to be careful of your x axis bar (ie, order it so it starts at the front if the bed and works it way to the back)

With mainsail and klipper, you can cancel one failed part mid print and keep going on the rest of the parts.

Is this about elles ?

Don’t UWU! That’s a $350 fine!!!

It’s not the Muslims, it’s the evil Christians. Same problem, but different names.

It’s uncommon for ‘public use’ ethernet ports to exist, unless they are clearly labeled. The ethernet ports might grant access to the internal network, which, is easy to accidentally do. A non-profit library with a limited budget might overlook all the extra protections on open ports (enable/disable ports as needed, use 802.11x port-based authentication, internal SSL, etc), that would be necessary to secure it. Or, even better; that RJ45 port might be wired up to an old PBX, and you may have fried their telephone system, or your own hardware.
