What the fuck dude?? enough bullshit from you, Ill block you now on lemmy, but feel free to continue the storry about me being a guy who didnt let others to use internet 😂
I dont hate mate, especially not what you wrote. It was 90% joke, but what I meant is that I miss early days of internet where there was no facebook, tiktok and other crap (no hard feelings), I was paying internet access per minute, I could barely download a song or play a low res game, but it was super fun to spend time online, there was no people that report what they ate or when they took a shit, it just felt more healthy and chill imo. Today everyone is online all the time and so many people spend their time to share negativity and being toxic instead of having fun or doing something usefull.
Dont worry about speed, HDD is fine for media storage. Power consumption and noise is what you should worry about 😉 get small SSD for OS since they are cheap
I use Shelly Plus Plug S. Im not sure how accutate it is, but it does decent job for me. I feel like you are looking for something else, but wanted to mention shelly anyway
I have no experience with any of them, but I would give advantage to ender 3 v3 and sovol sv06 because they have smooth rods while neptune and kobra use wheels. You have to be ready to thinker, tune, upgrade and fix because you are buying super cheap bed slinger, but I guess you know that already. I dont know if you can get voron v0.2 kit for around 300€, but that might be beter investment if you are ok with smaller print volume.
IMO pi is perfect fit for pihole (low power and silent), but since its mission critical you want 2 devices running pihole. If one is down the other one will still be available. I have one pihole running on the server that runs all other services (including home assistant), and 2nd pihole on rpi4. Then I have another pi4 for 3D printer
Running pohole and homeassistant on the same device is not a problem for sure, but not sure about octoprint since it is using USB serial connection while printer is active (can be 12h+). Maybe it can work, but I wouldnt use 3D printer computer for anything else
I couldnt find best way tbh. You could set your qbittorrent to auto delete after some time or when hit specific ratio, then manually delete from arrs. There is also app that auto deletes library after X days (, but didnt try it myself.
None of that suits my needs, so I just do it manually from both qbit and library
Edit: best way is to get more storage so you do it less frequently or you never do it 🙃
Like others said, consistent leveling can be a pain on cheap printers like ender. Your printer have 4 leveling screws while you need only 3 points to define a plane. 4 screws are recipe for problems on such a small plate, and then they also ship deformed bed plates or frame...
There are better quality machines available, but there are also so many people with enders that print amazingly well. So you have to decide if you want to dig deep enough to fix/upgrade/tune/thinker until quality is accaptable. Some people enjoy tuning more than printing, while some want to spend money on more like plug&play experience
Xiaomi stick is 40-60€ depending is it 4k or not, I recommend checking local stores first
