Don't worry about it budday!

The chocolate industry hasn't found a viable alternative to African slavery 160 years after the emancipation proclamation, but they've got this fossil fuels thing licked!

You can get surface mount cable raceways that connect to the wall with adhesive. Works well and also looks great.

Another option is called "sticky backs", they're not as nice looking, but they're commonly used by electricians in cabinets to secure wires:

One thing is if you're really concerned about the walls, maybe put a strip of masking tape on the wall before the sticky backs or cable raceway. That way you don't need to worry about the adhesive on them taking the paint off afterwards.

Yikes. That's a loooooootta filament.

ngl, I've never tried it and I doubt I'm about to start, so prints go into the recycle bin so they can get dumped in the landfill with the rest of the recycling.

But at the very least, it's a better practice to use PLA as your main choice.

Lemmy won't like them.

Besides that, was listening to some bluegrass while reading Mark Twain for maximum 'murica.

tbf, you wouldn't do this because it's cheaper, you'd do it because it's more ecologically friendly and it helps make your 3d printer a bit more sustainable.

But at 20 bucks for a spool of thread, you won't be coming out ahead economically by recycling, I agree.

My ISP had the same problem, ultimately I was able to convince them to let me use my own router. In doing that, I was able to at first use a standard off the shelf router and later a pfsense firewall to handle NAT that exposed my servers to the outside world.

Before I was able to do that, I was pretty convinced I wasn't going to be able to self host. There are other options, such as special VPNs for self-hosting, but that's not really the point, is it?

It was early when I read the article, I got the impression that the 9W was for the furnace version of the thermopile electric generator.

Oh, it's just a thermopile put out in the sun.

I can see why it never caught on then. You'd be relying on the difference in temperature between the hot side of a thing painted black put in the sun and the cool side in the shade. The amount of energy you'd get from such a setup would be infinitecimal. I'd expect you'd need to do an absurd amount of work and use an absurd amount of material just to power a single house.

The amount of energy it would take to build a "solar cell" thermopile that'd generate 1.5v with a quite high internal resistance would probably be in the megawatt-hours, likely from coal and oil.

Searx is a other good option.

I do believe that you're right and that is the case.

The AT protocol and activitypub are completely different protocols. Bluesky the "distributed" Twitter replacement uses AT, but nobody else does.

The benefit of activitypub is that it is completely decentralized. You don't need to ask anyone's permission to start up an activitypub project or server other than maybe a domain registrar.

The benefit of AT is you can maintain a single unified identity across different servers, since there's basically one source of login credentialing.

At least that's as far as I understand it, I could be wrong.

On board with both of you.

Science that isn't ethical science is a huge problem we can't just wave away, and science that isn't good science is also a huge problem we can't just wave away.

On the other hand, good science that is also ethical science can be immensely useful when it helps to describe the world and predict things that could happen accurately.

I ended up giving up on kbin after almost a week of trying to simply get it to run and federate. Ended up running Lemmy (though I'm presently using lotide as my main threadiverse experience) and after days of not being able to federate with kbin.

Hoping kbin federates with lotide soon.

Really like the project in a lot of ways, but when I tried it, it just wasn't ready yet.

SAP is also popular, and nobody is actually known on planet Earth to have anything positive to say about it.

I figure their marketing department hires some really good call girls. Only explanation I can fathom.

I like fanless PCs. Some have gpio headers for home automation purposes.

For just self-hosting, I'd probably like using refurbished laptops. Seems nuts, but low power, included input and screen, built in UPS, and sometimes you can get them for like 100 bucks. You can just use a USB or wifi device for home automation purposes if need be.

Tbf, most of the fediverse isn't lemmy.

The only way to know for sure is to test. I found I could subscribe to peertube channels using lemmy, but that wasn't intended and just a happy side effect of the common activitypub protocol.

I recall seeing new videos and being able to comment but not be able to create new posts that would federate since that wouldn't make a lot of sense.

The second part is a nozzle cleaning. It wipes the nozzle on a part of the bed that won't be used for printing to get debris off of it before printing. Cura does the same thing on my tevo tornado and actually sends a message saying what it's doing so when I'm logged into reprapfirmware it says "cleaning nozzle"
