In case you haven’t heard, World of Goo 2 is just coming out! And like their other games, Linux is supported but you can also buy for direct download from them

Thanks, I didn’t get it until I saw the banana image in the article lol

Ha I like it. Yeah I skipped the underscore/hyphen for that reason.

Desktop: HAL9000

laptop: HALjr

Phone: HALnano

Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on… Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha

Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken…

Edit: I use Dave as the username, so that in the terminal it is dave@hal9000, which just seems appropriate

Fuck I just got rid of my 2008 BW laser brother and bought a new one that hasn’t arrived. Thanks for the warning, at least I will be able to set my firewall before I even connect it to my network

As the commenter above you mentioned regarding doctors, I have photos that probably look worse than fun in the bath pictures. As a parent, I have taken at least a handful of close up photos of genitals (and in earlier years, anuses) to show to a doctor with a befuddled and embarrassed tone of “so, is this normal? It looks weird, I was worried!” I mean to delete them, but sometimes I forget until I run into them accidentally much later on. TBH, I wish it was only on my device with no Google photos syncing, but I have also sent those to a friend’s wife who is a pediatrician for a sanity check before I go on wasting a doctor’s appointment over nothing…

I recently volunteered at my kids school and had to take the mandatory reporter training, which taught me that along with teachers, coaches, etc, people working at photo labs are also mandated reporters (in my state in the US), which really drove it home… I can only imagine some poor photo tech at Walmart in the 90s having to deal with finding and reporting child abuse, fuck…

Not sure, but I think I know what you’re talking about… Have you checked SuperSlicer? I’m not saying they have a solution - hadn’t used it in years and just checked it out again recently. It’s a fork of PrusaSlicer that has a lot of advanced and niche tweaks. Just one example I noticed when I downloaded it recently: do you know about the floating hole issue for bolt inserts, where slicers just make bridged circles floating in air, and you have to do some hack with one layer thick square cutouts in the model to fix that? SuperSlicer has a built in option for it that just already slices that correctly - saw it in their release notes and tried it, worked great.

That is all to say, they have a lot of advanced tweaks for slicing issues, in the familiar package of Slic3r and PrusaSlicer UI, so might be worth checking it out

Well, I guess you don’t wanna fuck around with an angry rabid penguin, but this person should be ok resizing a partition 😂

I recently tried shortwave (flatpak) and it works pretty well. Let’s you search for public streams, and if the radio stream includes song data, it even auto records individual tracks for you if you want. Pretty minimalist and functional

Oh, good to hear!

Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you’re live adjusting, so what I said doesn’t make a lot of sense

Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?

Yeah, a warm soapy wash is definitely a good step to include here. Let us know how it comes out

I was gonna say the z offset is too low, so the filament is getting squeezed around the nozzle and bunching up in those gobs. Did your adjustment work?

Oh lord, as someone teaching a bunch of technologically illiterate college students something that requires a lot less computer skills, teaching CAD to today’s high schoolers sounds rough. I am a millennial that started on DOS, and joke to them that back in my day, to play video games I had to climb uphill both ways in the snow, and, use a terminal lol. And funny that you mention your KDE setup, I use plasma and one of my first thoughts was “I bet there’s a KDE widget/applet for that” haha

Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven’t messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn’t noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn’t look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @anamethatisnt@lemmy.world suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don’t want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven’t started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That’s the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

I was looking for something similar for a while, like something for simple relational data with some GUI for data entry, aka “I don’t wanna write a little web app just for this”. I had used AirTable at work before at work so that’s what came to mind and my searching was basically for “open source or selfhosted alternative to AirTable”.

Came across some decent candidates, can’t remember all the names, but the one I tried, Grist, was pretty straightforward and did the job: easy relational data setup, GUI for all basic data types including file uploads, easy to create input forms, and widgets that talk to the API and you can customize with JavaScript. Setup was easy with docker

EDIT: other names that came up when looking were NocoDB and BaseRow ( I don’t remember why I didn’t try them for my specific needs)
