  • Republicans like to be the "fiscally conservative" party until they actually hold the pursestrings

  • Licensing, probably. H.265 is very not open and you have to pay the MPEG piper to actually use it.

  • sir we are here to shitpost not provide context

  • Yeah z hop should really be close to off unless you have a really really narrow print profile.

  • Glad to help, and good luck! This is only the first step into becoming a master print tuner.

  • You say that like they haven't already done that. The sheer amount of optimizations they've put into factorio are insane, I'd almost guarantee they've invented some new data system that's never been seen before and haven't told us.

  • Wube is the most absolutely massively based game development company in the world and you cannot tell me otherwise.

  • i emotionally identify as lower right corner cat

  • Hell yeah I do. I help run the makerspace at my college. I've fixed damn near every problem a Prusa can have at this point lol

  • Ah perfect. I'll throw some of the 300gb archives on my rig when I get home.

  • Often a combination of temp too high, not enough retraction, or water contaminated filament.

    If the plastic in the hot end is too hot it will keep "running" out of the nozzle after retraction and you'll get strings. Similarly if you don't retract enough to actually pull plastic out of the nozzle during a rapid move, it will want to keep pushing thru. This is supported by the little blobs it leaves on that angled surface corner its travelling to when stringing, thats excess material squeezing out during its rapid moves then being left on that wall.
    And if there's water in your filament all bets are off on how it'll behave.

    215 is pretty warm for that esun PLA especially if you're using the stock brass nozzle, try bumping that down to 205 or even 200, and increase your retraction speed and distance settings in prusaslicer a tiny amount (0.1mm distance, 2mm/s speed at a time until you see improvement is plenty)

    Use a temperature calibration tower to test things out.

  • They are meant for long-term preservation.

    This is basically a "distributed backup" of the entire database. The torrents are not actively serving files- they're there to store multiple copies of the main database across the globe so that the entire database can be recovered (by anyone with the requisite knowledge, mind you) in the event that something happens to the original Anna's Archive team or the main database is lost/seized by "law enforcement".

    It's equivalent to how backup managers in ye olden days would make broken up piece files of a certain size that could fit onto a CD or DVD, so you could fit the entire contents of a large 20+GB hard drive onto multiple smaller media. The backup itself is not accessed unless your main hard drive crashes, in which case you reassemble all the individual pieces back into your complete OS environment after replacing the hard drive.

  • "Less" is still not "gone" unfortunately. You do still have to be very vigilant because federation from unknown instances intentionally spreading that stuff can and will end up getting garbage on to your server's hard drive that you might not even notice.

  • Id happily seed a tb or so of the most in-danger torrents. My internet aint much but my old pc is almost always on.
    How do I know which of the piece torrents are high or low on seeders? Maybe I'm just being special or can't see it on mobile but is there no way to check each torrent's health without actually downloading every piece and putting it in my torrent client?

  • Let's also add

    • you need to have 24/7 moderation capabilities to filter all the child porn that trolls will immediately try to spread onto your instance
  • yeah, it exposes PCIe, i forgot about that. but still a single lane and requiring an additional adapter card and ribbon cable that complicates packaging a bit and adds cost. I dunno, I'm sour on Pi these days since they've spent years screwing over consumers in favor of business customers. I've chosen not to buy their stuff despite the better software support.

  • Pi's have kinda garbage IO. You're limited to USB only which is a shared bus (so if you're saturating one hard drive, the other drives won't be able to do shit and I dislike it) you're also required to boot from SD card on a Pi, and OS level writes tend to kill SD cards frequently.

    The Orange Pi 5 that I have technically has a PCIe NVME M.2 slot that runs at PCIe 2.0x2 iirc. I've not done it with mine yet, so I can't guarantee compatibility, but that can theoretically be split using a m.2 to SATA controller adapter like that

    But at that point and cost the Rockpro64 look like a legitimate option, since PCIe to SATA adapters using a 4x slot exist all over the damn place.

    Honest opinion though: look for used office PC sales or government/school district clearing sales. I've gotten a stack of older 2nd/3rd gen intel Core machines at $50 a pop that are plenty fast for light home server use and have full fat motherboards for connecting up a bunch of SATA devices. They're a little more power hungry- expect 50W or more at idle when you have drives spinning - but they simplify setup a lot, they package nicely since you can put the drives inside, and the power supply is built in.

  • I'd say it is a bad thing.

    The Old Guard were shitbags for sure, but they were at least predictable shitbags that wouldn't rock the boat too far. When they retire and leave a super juicy incumbent office open, they always seem to get replaced with ever-more radicalized fresh blood that have zero qualms about driving a 50cal sniper bullet straight through all civil liberties.

  • Physics teachers hate this one simple trick

  • Speak for yourself. How do you know I'm not a 2-dimensional lifeform?
