  • It does! I haven't configured mine yet but I use Feedme's mobilizer to do the same thing at the moment.

    • Just as a heads up, AutoDesk will start deleting your Fusion Files if you don't login once a year

  • Damn them too? I guess I shouldn't be surprised they're both in the enshittification olympics. I moved away from F360 in favor on Onshape a while ago but started muddling my way through FreeCAD when I heard about Onshape.

  • Wait what?

    • Can you recommend raspberry pi / octopi alternatives?

    Jump

  • I want to do this myself (to both free up my pi and not have to deal with underpower warnings) but my printer is a bit further away. I've had my eye on those USB via UTP devices for a while but a cursory search seems to imply there'd be timing issues.

    • FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

    Jump

  • Amazon is working on adding casting capabilities to the Matter framework, but at the moment it's only implemented in the Echo Show and on Prime video.

    • Top pilots’ union sounds alarm as regulators consider smaller crew sizes

    • This ‘Google TV Streamer’ set-top box is what comes after Chromecast

    Jump

  • Hopefully matter casting will be a bit more fleshed out by then.

    • Project 2025 wants to send you to prison for watching porn. Laws requiring ID to access NSFW sites have already made porn hard to access in many states. Your browser is next 👀

    • What's the ideal self hosted RSS setup?

    Jump

  • I use FreshRSS in a docker container both served and funneled from my tailscale network (can't fetch feeds otherwise) and I read it on mobile with FeedMe. My main reason for using FeedMe is the customizable mobilizer though I'm pretty sure you can enable that in FreshRss as well.

  • I recently fell into this rabbit hole myself! Though I decided against hosting the blog myself(because I don't want to do anything stupid lol) Nowadays for sites like that you can install a static site generator to automatically build the site based off of markdown files. I personally use Hugo but I hear good things about Jekyll too.

    The way mine is set up I make a post or a page on my machine and push it to my backend github repo. Github detects a change and rebuilds the site with the new content using a github action, then uploads the whole public folder to my host at neocities.
