  • The printing speed is slow AF...a 37min benchy on a coreXY in 2025, WTF!? My bedslinger does it in less than 30min.

    The default Prusa profiles are incredibly conservative. They prioritize quality and part strength over speed. If you need the speed you can easily bump it to 200% with minimal issues.

  • Hey, Fractal looks pretty cool. Might just replace Element.

  • People with disabilities would like a word with you.

  • I have exactly the setup you described, a Raspberry Pi with an 8 TB SSD parked at a friend of mine. It connects to my network via Wireguard automatically and just sits there until one of my hosts running Duplicati starts to sync the encrypted backups to it.

    Has been running for 2 years now with no issues.

  • I'm still waiting for somebody to release a Linux tablet with an immutable distro and Waydroid pre-installed.

    Could be a killer product for productivity. Solid linux distro for desktop usage with the possibility to seamlessly open Android apps on demand.

  • Once again, the format doesn't work for me when the main topic is about a fad that nobody talks about anymore.

    It worked in South Park for a long time because they had a relevant episode a week or two after it happened. In Futurama, not so much.

    The Bender story was pretty neat though. They could have left out all of the NFT stuff and focused just on the Bender plot and it would have been a significantly better episode.

  • Sodium-based batteries currently have a lower energy density than lithium-based batteries so they are only useful in some applications.

  • When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.

    Well, did he try to turn it off and NOT back on again?

  • That is what I'm doing currently but now unbound doesn't talk to the root servers anymore, it sends all queries to Quad9.

    Both scenarios are not ideal because you always end up with one entity knowing all your queries.

  • Right you are, but don't start telling everyone so I can't silently download my lossless albums from Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz anymore.

  • Not illegal but it leaves all your DNS lookups in plain text with your ISP, which just doesn't sit right with me.

    Not that the ISP in my country would care.

  • Is it possible to get unbound to talk to the root servers via TLS/HTTPS by now?

    I'm currently using Quad9 because they support DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.

  • I used to have a second partition with Windows for such cases, but over time I just stopped bothering with those games.

    Now I just refund if it doesn't work and move on in my to-play list.

    I still have a Windows VM for some applications and for doing firmware updates but I never bothered to set it up for playing games.

  • Eternal was a recipe for stress for me.

    That's the thing that made it great for me, but I liked both 2016 and Eternal for different reasons. Would be great if they can somehow satisfy both camps with the next entry.

    • Make sure you have the Vulkan layers installed: https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer
    • Download the latest Proton-TKG (Wine master) from ProtonUp-QT
    • Start the game you want to launch with it at least once
    • Search for it with protontricks and take note of the APPID: protontricks -s NAME
    • Set the registry entry: protontricks -c 'wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland' APPID
    • Set the launch arguments in Steam to: ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISPLAY= %command%
    • Switch the Proton version to the Proton-TKG you just downloaded
    • Enable HDR in KDE settings and launch the game

    Some games crash on start, anti-cheat does not work and some games don't look right. So make sure to check that everything looks good once you're ingame.

  • Most of the time, yes. I try first with Wine's wayland driver and if that doesn't work I switch to gamescope.

  • I have an Alienware AW3423DWF since about a year now with about 4000 hours on it. Very happy with it, won't be going back to anything else until another technology with per-pixel lighting comes along. I also have a Dell with VA panel as second monitor and it looks like 90s technology compared to the OLED panel.

    The only bad thing I can say about the monitor or OLED in general is that the dimming is fairly aggressive, i.e. on bright scenes you will not even get close to the advertised brightness. Makes the OLED monitors pretty much unusable in HDR for desktop usage. Mostly unnoticable in gaming and movies.

    There also is some text fuzzing with high contrast text, not distracting for me but might be for others.

    but how is the current compatability with Linux these days?

    No issues here on Linux. With Plasma 6 you can even do HDR properly. Many games work with the latest Proton-TKG on Wayland and the HDR layer, some still need gamescope to properly work. mpv does movies/shows in HDR with the HDR layer, no issues.

    Always check out rtings.com for their monitor ratings, they do the most thorough tests of all:

  • That's a shame because ionity is absolute trash.

    0.69 EUR/kWh is a robbery and requiring a subscription to fill your car cheaper is a scam. They are doing it with taxpayers' money as well.

    Imagine a publicly funded gas station with those conditions and people would lose their mind.

  • I have been using this for a few hours now and it's pretty great, so far my favorite of all the players I tried. Left the dev a few bucks on GitHub.
