I’d like to see the FreeCAD file both in the “a bit messy” form as well as in the cleaned up form.

You can manually edit the gcode to see if printing white first works out better. Then search for a more repeatable solution if you often re-slice.

Manipulating gcode looks intimidating the first time but it’s really not that crazy. Cura adds comments to the gcode and you can look up the codes otherwise, I expect Pusa Slicer to do the same. You want to move the whole printing sequence of the white nozzle before the printing sequence of the second black one on the first layer. Keep the setup (heating etc) before that.

We run Taiga and it seems to work fine.

If you want to link to external sources in a structured way and you don’t mind tweaking the looks, SolidOS (ot another SOLID app) has a task list/tracker.

I keep my personal tasks in org-mode or org-roam.

I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.

I consider it a scam from Dasung.

Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don’t notice as much I suppose).

Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.

Depends on the use.

The screen protector serves as a blue light filter too, it’s cheaper than a display, and fairly thin. That’s a straightforward addition for my use but if you don’t have issues with your phone dropping then you could certainly do without.

I very much dislike cases and loved the PH-1 for stating that a phone should be solid enough without a case (sadly it did not survive a 50cm drop on a floor so it did not hold up in practice). If you don’t have much issues with your phone dropping then not having a case makes it so much nicer.

I take more risk holding my phone than I should which means it falls more than average. The price I have to pay is a screen protector and cover. Replacing the display should be easy, but it’d also be wasteful.

I had to replace parts on my FP5. It fell on very bad asphalt at speed whilst cycling in a foreign country. The glass on the camera modules scattered. Display protector broke and the case got some good damage. I was instantly calmed realising it is a FairPhone and knowing I could order replacement parts.

Repairs were trivial and it feels good to have created just a tiny amount of e-waste instead of a large amount. The black aluminium case has some war wounds (scratches) reminding me of the trip.

Not CoreXY but you may want to check out FLSun’s delta offerings too.

I have an older one and it has served me well. I bought a QQS pro (I think) for tinkering. It worked well out of the box but I could not resist changing the stepper drivers, installing Klipper, changing the hotend, … It still works well, just faster.

Looking at the few reviews of what they have today I’d buy again but would try not to swap out parts. That or the Prusa you’re looking at.

When the battery gets fully discharged it degrades much faster.

I’d be searching for what’s draining the battery and in the meantime I’d add a battery disconnect switch for these periods.

Agree. They’ll surely to pay the cost and they have a proven track record on handling any potential lock in.

The Docker runtime is probably ok as it is a tool instead of a community. The registry has a community aspect and is where we’ll likely see exploitation of vendor lock in. Luckily Docker was grounded well and you can set up your own registry.

Answer: they’re holding up just fine

The whole reason I follow Forgejo is the thing they don’t seem to progress on: federation.

We either need to accept mail based patches again and teach a wide audience how to work with that or we need a federated forge.

When federation gets picked up it will be a major boost for Forgejo and the FOSS community.

I have since tried to browse Lemmy on it a few times. The lack of emitted light and terrible color rendition make it more boring. I guess that’s the point, a more boring device. Pictures are a problem due to dithering and bad color rendition.

They are also very Chinese and closed and without a proper Google Play store. I used a HiSense 5c pro as daily phone (hope I have the name right).

Bought it because I’m quite interested in eink. It is interesting to use and it is really usable. It is ok to read text on. I was not able to root it and was thus a bit locked in. The lock screen couldn’t be adapted to my liking and I did not fully trust in what spying it might be doing (like Google location tracking and such).

I dropped my FairPhone 5 from a bicycle on unwelcoming pavement at good speed. Broke the camera glasses, the screen protector, the carry case and the back cover. It looked positively destroyed and my first thought was “yay, it’s repairable”. Repairing was easy enough and aside from some war wounds on the side of the case (scratches) it’s as good as new. I’m glad I got this phone.

Aside from being repairable, I also appreciate the e/OS support.

Battery temperature management seems to be a key limiting factor.

At least a few years ago, and likely still, the reasons and conditions under which the barrier layers in the battery degrade were not super well understood. Heat seems to be a key contributing factor and charging a battery quickly warms up the battery and I suppose not fully evenly within a cell. Not knowing the complete extent of this makes the early LEAF’s lack of actively cooled battery a reasonable choice. Before that, the batteries of earliest Prius cars held up way longer than expected.

Like with a phone: heat and cold is not super awesome for the battery. It seems heat is especially bad for longevity.

I don’t think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation “Augmenting the Human Intellect” (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).

It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was picked up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.

This must be from another timeline. Sorry for the inconvenience, please skip.

User focused applications running on my own internet accessible infrastructure fully based on open standards and interoperable with the Fediverse… Yes please

I’m looking forward to play with this.

I had to read the overview and it looks nice. It reads like IPFS without some of the challenging cruft. Well written!

IPFS seemingly works small scale but not large scale. What makes tenfingers handle millions of files and petabytes of data better than IPFS? Perhaps that is not the goal. In what way do you think the tech scales? Why will discovery of the node which has the data be short?

I want to ask for benchmarks but you can’t do a full benchmark without loads of resources.

I’m not actively looking but please do share references! Other people may read this and they may want to know too. Perhaps I’ll jump back in the rabbit hole at some point too 😁
