I tried that once and it takes way longer to run a backup. I forgot ehy exactly, something with running the comparisons against everything.

I have 2 powered RAID enclosures from icybox with 2 multi TB HDD in each one. The RAID is set to mirror the drives.

They are connected via usb 3 to a raspberry pi which runs borgbackup.

One is in my own place, just next to the main server.

The other is at my parents place in another city.

All my desktops, laptops and servers have borgmatic installed with the two pi’s as two targets. So when I create a backup it gets send to both locations. On my PCs I manually do a borg backup like once a month when I feel like it. The server computers are all on a daily schedule.

Borg has extremely efficient compression and defuplication. So having 20 historical snapshots of the whole file storage of each device takes about 30% less space than the original size on disk.

For example my desktop currently uses ~800GB but the borgbackup of said desktop takes only ~500GB.

The only disadvantage I find is that there is no cross system deduplication.

The super useful advantage is that I was able to just take the HDD enclosure, plug it into my Desktop and restore whatever files I want. I did an rsync to a blank fs once and it restored everything properly. And it’s pretty cheap. like 150$ total per backup location without any significant monthly costs.

I used hetzners storagebox for a while for borgbackups but restoring from it was SO SLOW. And my internet connection is not stable enough to do that without interruptions for multiple days. Never again, except for using it as an extra last resort “cloud” backup.

we do what we must, because we can

I had a case that looked like that, because the nozzle was scraping the previous layer of the print.

I think that for some reason the layers below were physically taller than in softwas and the additive effect of that stacked and reached critical failure at a certain height. It started as soft scraping and got worse as it went on until it failed like that because it essentially skipped a whole layer. No enclosure/heating chamber btw. It was always the same height for that model, but then a smaller model like a benchie would have no issues on that height. I guess because the filament was warmer due to the smaller loops, so more mendible or less expanded somehow, idk.

I dried my filament so it stopped making bubbles and ran some filament specific calibration and also I changed the extrusion to be a bit lower. Then the issue was gone.

I feel like by “scaling” they mean upgradability. So either vertical (adding more drives, ram, cpu) or horizontal (adding more boxes that loadbalance an increase of multiple parallel tasks/users) hahaha ooops

afaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.

Never heard of Kingroon.

I’d try a known good company first.

I once had a nightmarish time with some cheap filament and thought my printer just can’t do PETG well. Then I got a good roll from a different company and it printed even cleaner than PLA…

From my experience with windows:

• you plugin new hardware and boot
• it doesn’t work
• 15 min looking for drivers online on obtuse websites
• suddenly the device works, because windows downloaded and installed something in the background

so more like - plug & i have no idea whats happening & play

mom, why is it shaped like that?

mom?

I used wheel balancing weights (tiny 5g iron bars) and built them into my prints.

They are pretty cheap and the included adhesive makes it so they don’t rattle around inside if the tolerances of the cavity are not perfect.

Used them in the base of a tall slim model to make it less prone to tipping over.

you bought one? Like in - one time payment with infinite time ownership?

it insists upon itself

my 2 old phones (usb c) were both replaced because of hardware issues.

one has a broken power button that is constantly detected as being randomly spam pressed, so as soon as it gets power if it ever manages to boot it either hard reboots itself or tries to call emergency services.

the other has a flaky usb c that constantly connects and disconnects unless you hold it at a specific angle and the battery is like a step away from meltdown - it can hold charge for a couple minutes.

I’d be afraid to leave either plugged in at home.

I guess the article is for people that buy a new phone for fashion, not need.

telecom is usually enceypted unless you get knocked down to lower g and I never suggested E-Mail or SMS.

Previously I had to use Whatsapp app to to talk with them

ah I see where our views split. I just told people what app to find me on and I’d rather call or write mail than use whatsapp for a tidbid of convenience.

So from my pov the interop will reduce security. From your pov it will be at worst equally insecure.

You just disproven your own first point.

If you chat with somebody and they have a client that is closed source and thus can not be trusted - your conversation is not secure, even if your client is open source and trusted and secure.

So interop makes end to end encrypted communication as a whole less secure, not more.

I guess iphone (one with lidar, so one of the pro models, but it can be as old as 12) with a 3d scanning app might be the best general purpose in this price range…

Whats also interesting are diy rotating bed scanners like https://fabscan.org/ which come at 200-400$

There are a ton of apps and rotating table diy scanners so you can look around.

Afaik hand guided 3d scanners are way more expensive and start at like 3000$.

EDIT:

some quick googling showed relatively positive sentiment about the rebopoint products. There is one that is exactly 1k https://www.revopoint3d.com/products/3d-laser-scanner-metrox but you’re in for a software license subscribtion after a year of included use…

add gamescope config/flags

I have a couple of games that don’t capture the cursor or don’t scale properly with my display config

How is it a map and not a list?

Like, are the containers related somehow?

If you just want to know whats running, there are a ton of docker autoexplore dashboard out there. But I don’t think they output a map, just a list.
