  • Oh, you’re right! You did jump to insults right off the bat.

    Then you stalked my account to try to create more personalized attacks.

    I mean, you can keep arguing but you will have to do better than to accuse me of trying to be a good person. Unless you were trying to say I’m fake, but
    I actually care. And the same sort of toxic user behavior that ruined Reddit long before the administrators did is something I try to meet with good humor and a sense of silliness. Maybe the Lemmy community can keep that at bay.

    If your antipathy and rage at other people is such that you cannot break through it to realize someone is cracking a joke, then… I don’t know. I don’t have a constructive suggestion right now.
    No joke here: Are you physically in pain? Maybe something you don’t realize is bothering you? Possibly some other drain on your psyche? You’re putting out a lot of hate for being random text in my phone.





  • I thought this sounded familiar.

    Twitter collected user phone numbers and email addresses for the stated reason of account verification/security. It then used that data for advertising.

    It’s currently banned from profiting from deceptively collected data, is required to allow users to utilize MFA not tied to their phone number, must assess the privacy and security risks of new products, must disclose data breaches to the FCC, and limit employee access to user private information.

    Not that a Republican FCC would enforce the rules, but this would make it official that Twitter can do all those things. Expect Musk to be sliming into the DM’s of everyone.





  • I find your comment infuriating and I don’t exactly know why. It feels like you’ve tried to explain things for a less intelligent audience. If someone said that to me, I would struggle to fix my face.

    You don’t have to use your first sentence to say that designers design designs, and you don’t have to spend two sentences (“The reasons […] but some are.”) to make a qualifier.

    You could just say “Those fucks probably did it on purpose because there’s no law preventing them from it, and they will keep doing it, too”

    Errybody knows companies are gonna roll you if they can get away with it.




  • I’ve seen wrinkling like that occur on taller parts with lower infill when the outer shell traps warm/hot air, which distorts the top of the shell as it tries to escape.
    If that’s at play here (it doesn’t feel exactly right, though), then as others have suggested, perhaps it’s a cooling fan speed setting?
    Any chance your bed is too hot, or some settings like first layer temp/final layer temp are causing unexpected issues? That’s a giant skirt for a large, flat piece. Is the thing tacoing on you?

    My other thought on this could be uneven drying of your filament. Perhaps one side is drying to 10%, and the other side is not. Any way to rotate the filament as it’s drying?
    How long are you drying for?


  • So I recently(ish) went through this - migrating from consumer hardware to rolling my own.
    Here’s what I did:

    I bought a mini-PC router and loaded OPNsense onto it.
    I needed wireless AP’s in some odd places, so I bought a pair of POE-powered Netgear WAX620 AP’s because they were a decent price, and a 2.5G POE+ Switch.
    I probably would not go with Netgear again. They try to lock you into their cloud (subscription) platform. I don’t dig it. I would probably also not go with a POE switch unless I had to, because it adds a lot to the cost.
    If I had planned better, I’d have waited until a decent older switch became available from a local surplus source. (The local university has a public surplus site that sometimes has interesting and cheap networking gear.)
    If you plan to set up VLANs, make sure your switches are up to the task.


  • Solved with ejector seats, obvs.

    If you can’t physically handle explosive bolts firing within close proximity of your ears to shear the roof off your vehicle, and the subsequent 12-20G’s of acceleration as you’re unexpectedly launched skyward, then what are you even doing in a vehicle!?

    As to how to trigger the explosives and rocket motors when the power has gone out? Independent emergency batteries that activate when a power loss is detected.

    Could these batteries be used to power the braking system instead of a dangerous, cartoonishly violent, and ill-advised fantasy? Yes.
    Will they be? No.
