If people don't want these things in their air, why don't they just vote with their wallets and NOT BUY products that create these byproducts, or move to a place that better suits their snowflake-lungs?

Worst case, if you develop cancer after 5 years of exposure, you can exercise your right to sue the company for damages and be made whole again.

We don't need government hamstringing industry when the free market can sort these things out!

/s (because who the fuck knows these days)

I don't want to be an alarmist

But in that harmacy there's a harmacist!

Have you looked into Remote Path mappings? I have not had to employ this myself, but my understanding is this allows you to avoid file duplication when your *arr and torrent client are using different filesystems.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering though...

Maybe a dumb question, but have you enabled port forwarding in your torrent client and ensured that the VPN server you are connected to allows port forwarding? Proton has decent documentation on how to do this, but it's not obvious if you didnt already know you needed port forwarding.

This had me tripped up for nearly a full year after I got back into torrenting.

Exactly, if you prevent crime in the first place, there's no criminals to be tough on.

Conservatives don't want to actually prevent crime, they just want to be able to loudly and visibly abuse and imprison an out-group.

True... but i mean lasers are cooler by virtue of being lasers. 😁

Personally, I'd be worried about subjecting the printer to the lateral forces and torques a knife would put on a printer that was never designed to contact the workpiece, if you ever wanted to use it for FDM printing again. But maybe that would be a good project for a printer that was already beat up a bit.

Since you mention the Ender 3, mine came bundled with a laser cutter attachment. I have never actually gotten around to using it, so I can't offer much other than to say that such an official accessory does exist and might be less of a hassle than some of the DIY options you are considering.

Thats true, and a good point.

But as long as you go straight from the original packaging to your dry box, you shouldn't have to worry much about it ever getting wet to begin with.

There are probably cheaper bulk options--but I personally bought some 50g satchets that change color when they start to saturate, for convenience. 3 of those keep a large bin dry for a few months depending on ambient humidity and how often you open it.

It's crazy easy too. You can get a decent size plasric tote with weatherproof gasket for about $15-20, and a few packs of reusable dessicant packs will.run another $10-15.

For about $30 all in you can keep 6-8 rolls of filament below 10%RH full time with zero hassle.

Beginner here (to Linux and networking anyways), running Unraid for about 18 months now. Fully agree, it's been great for actually getting up and doing useful things quickly and relatively pain free.

Eventually I would like to try working backwards and getting things running on a more "traditional" server environment, but Unraid has been a great learning tool for me personally.

It's like... Maybe some folks learned to overhaul an engine before they got their driver's license, but lots of people just need to a car to get to work and back today, and they can learn to change their oil and do a brake job when the time comes.

Right after too-salty popcorn, this is one of my go-tos when watching a movie--especially with a peaty scotch.

This was one of the first that came to my mind as well. It wasn't till a couple years ago that I learned it was a cover, and I really can't decide whether I prefer APC's or Failure's version.

There is a live recording of Thirteenth Step, where they play it much closer to the original, and it's the absolute best of both worlds IMO.

Honestly, as long as it's easily DIY upgradable (accessible speaker mounting locations, standard DIN panels, etc) I am all for this. Most OEM audio systems are stupidly overpriced and suck complete donkey balls compared to what you can get for a few hundred bucks at Crutchfield and install in an afternoon.

For the last 20 years or so, most factory audio systems are so integrated into the rest of the electronics that they can be an absolute nightmare to upgrade unless you are a pro, which means you get the worst of both worlds: garbage audio, AND a steep upgrade path.

Proton VPN absolutely does support port forwarding, just not on the free tier.

100%

I've tried explaining this concept to people in my life who insist on considering context when deciding whether to use their turn signal. But about half of them seem stuck on this idea that moving their fingers a few inches is a task that justifies a cost-benefit analysis each time.

I don't get it, man...

On the one hand, you're probably right. On the other hand, I also look like a doofus with a bare chin so I can't really judge him on that account.

Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don't feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.

Hell, I'll go against the grain here and say that if my wife wanted to watch porn featuring me, some kind of AI or otherwise manipulated imagery is the only way that's practically going to happen, and I'd have no issues indulging her in principle.

The main sticking point would be the feasibility of generating that content without feeding my photos to some 3rd party, and more importantly making sure that imagery never leaks outside of her direct personal and private possession.

I'd very much prefer to give consent, but if she were to do it on her own, my main issues would again be around the point above. Otherwise I wouldn't feel much different than if she told me she got off while imagining me on her minds eye. And the same types of caveats would apply: Me with some anonymous 3rd party? Whatever floats her boat. Me with a specific person, or worse yet, someone we know? That's when it starts to cross a line.

Great, now that's in my comment history!

My wife went through something similar. Took until she was in her 30s and we were pursuing IVF for someone to take her seriously and actually do the investigation to realize she had crazy scarring from endometriosis causing all kinds of issues.

It's insane to me how much the modern medical community seems to normalize or straight up ignore this shit, like you said.

I realize we could have pushed harder, but when multiple doctors tell you "yeah, some women just experience periods differently, here's 500mg Naproxen to help you through" you tend to believe it.
