The most common reasons to buy Prusa that I have heard are their 24/7 support, warranty and wanting to support a European company. I’m not entirely up to date with Chinese manufacturers, so things could have changed, but at least in the past Fysetc, Blurolls and even Trianglelab seemed to be on par, or even exceeding, Prusa quality for printers and parts.

This is my wireguard docker setup:

  wireguard:

    container_name: wireguard

      - SYS_MODULE
    environment:
      - PUID=116

      - ALLOWEDIPS=192.168.1.0/24

Can reach the webuis from LAN, no other network configuration was necessary. 192.168.1.111 is the server’s LAN address. The other services are configured very similar to your qbittorrent, and don’t expose any ports. Can’t promise it’s 100% correct but it’s working for me.

I think it’s a bit unfortunate wording which makes it sound like the Vive was developed by HTC and Valve just adopted it. Valve did a lot of VR research, produced several headset prototypes, and invented key technologies like the Lighthouse tracking in the years before they announced their partnership with HTC. I’m sure HTC contributed regarding turning a prototype into a consumer product and mass producing it, but I think Valve could just as well have taken their VR tech to Samsung, Lenovo, or someone else and have them produce the Vive if they had been interested.

Do you know how to check for bowden gap, and how to hot tighten the hotend/nozzle in order to prevent it?

Hope you decided to buy neither of the two in the end, since Flashforge is also known for being anti-consumer and their shady business practices. Out of the two I’d actually go with Bambu Lab if I didn’t care about openness and modding, since their printers at least seem to have fairly good quality.

Found the blog post that I was thinking of, with a little more about Prusa’s relation with opene source. https://blog.prusa3d.com/the-state-of-open-source-in-3d-printing-in-2023_76659/

I admit this is speculation, but I got the impression that Prusa is moving away from open source because they’re salty about other companies cloning their products and selling them much cheaper than the “original” parts. Proprietary parts, patents, etc. is of course worse for the user than a fully open ecosystem, but he isn’t necessarily going full anti-consumer.

You have to specify which quantization you find acceptable, and which context size you require. I think the most affordable option to run large models locally is still getting multiple RTX3090 cards, and I guess you probably need 3 or 4 of those depending on quantization and context.

My paranoia level: Even though I’m pretty good with computers in general, I would not trust myself to set up a safe public facing service, which is the reason that I don’t have any of those on my home server. If I needed something like that I wouldn’t self host it.

The question is probably more related to what he has done rather than what he is doing right now, and he is kind of famous for having created Linux in the past. To someone who doesn’t know anything about Linux licenses I think it would be easy to suspect that Torvalds might have some kind of ownership of his creation.

Going full ergo is great, and I also think it’s sad that we’re stuck with legacy keyboards. Though I don’t like typing on ortho unless it’s also split (and preferably a little tented), the columns don’t line up with my fingers unless I keep my forearms close together. Staggered keyboards at least have diagonal-ish finger movements, even though the angle is different for left and right hands.

If you’re using Pipewire, have you checked if you can re-route the audio sink using qpwgraph?

The “meh key” simulates pressing ctrl+alt+shift at the same time. Can’t find any particular keyboard having it first, could have been added to QMK and then people who wanted it just added it to their layouts.

I was expecting more entries on a certain theme for version 420 ;)

Apex with EAC worked perfectly fine on Linux for the last 2 years, EA just decided to break it by replacing EAC with their own anti-cheat which is Windows only.

Add “site:reddit.com” to your google query.

Sad thing is that search engines have got so bad, and usually return so much garbage blog spam that searching directly on reddit is more likely to give useful results. I hope a similar amount of knowledge will build up on Lemmy over time.

I think Microsoft and their partners have been dreaming about turning PCs into fully locked down platforms for a long time, completely unrelated to gaming. Hardware DRM including display devices and cables, and only running “trusted” software is the end goal.

I think the problem is that game publishers also want the cheapest and laziest solutions. What EA (and others) are doing now are basically “give us full control of your computer so we can do whatever we want” with their kernel level anti-cheats. Server side anti-cheat requires more processing that they have to pay for, and requires more work to develop heuristics and other algorithms to detect cheaters.
