Sure there are a few others. What I’m mainly getting at is that you can’t run an email server in your house the same way you can run a lemmy instance and expect those emails to get delivered. You are forced to use someone else’s email service as a backend or google will flag your emails as spam.

This used to be true. However in the internet of today, if your email doesn’t come from a Microsoft or a google it will get rejected if the recipient is a Microsoft or google email address. They have taken over.

Very asshole tax?

Gotcha. So you watch the first layer go down and use this to see if it needs to be adjusted.

What is the purpose of the line printed around the skull but not touching the skull?

OP did you write the blog post or are you reposting? I’m mostly asking because I’d like to get your opinion on this book:

I just experienced this for the first time. I has having to print slower and slower to get the filament to flow enough not to print skippy and stringy. Finally, the gears in the print head started skipping. I took the whole print head apart and found nothing wrong. Switched to the spare hot end that came with the printer and its printing like new again.

I don’t know if this helps but, I’ve kind of just become comfortable with things being awkward. If I have a serious conversation coming up or whatever, I just change my expectations about what’s going to happen. I will be misunderstood. I will not be able to express my thoughts exactly with the English language. I will over explain. I will ask a dumb question that “should” know the answer to. I probably won’t use someone’s name, even though I know for a fact what their name is (my brain gets in a loop of “what I get their name wrong after all this time, I’ll look like such an asshole”).

I don’t even feel like I accurately expressed what I’m feeling with this post. And I’ve read and changed it a couple of times trying to.

Hope that helps.

The only note taking app you’ll ever need, again.

Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards the A1. I don’t have prusa money for my first printer and I’m iffy on getting a used one because I don’t know what to look for to make sure it’s ok. If I went with the ender, based on what everyone has been saying, it might just become another in a long line of complex projects I start and never finish. I’d like to start printing things right away to get solidified in the hobby/craft.

What is the controversy? I’m probably as open source supporting as the next lemming.

The P1P, on the sales page, lists the hot end as an accessory? Is that the nozzle where the plastic comes out and is that usually sold separately?

Definitely more in the tool side. I want to print stuff that works. Thank you for the suggestions. Are used printers easy to find? How well do they hold up? I’m assuming I would be buying one from someone who is upgrading to something better.

I like the look of the A1 and the P1P. They claim to run right out of the box, is that not common for a 3D printer?

These are great write ups. Much appreciated.

Crazy awesome setup! I noticed you had an enphase inverter next to your electrical meter, I assume for solar panels. Would you mind giving details about that system? What size array do you have and how efficient has it been? How are you monitoring the solar systems output?

Love that label on the UDM Pro (router).

Firefox is my main browser, even on my company computer. However, I still keep google chrome installed spec for this reason. I always have problems trying to use the O365 web interface with Firefox. I just do it on chrome.

The article started out about software problems and ended up in a scathing critique of banking management. Good stuff.

If you use MATLAB software there is a FOSS alternative that can even run most M-files and uses mostly the same syntax.
