Netbox,especially when combinded with Plugins is so incredibly good and might,that’s it’s almost funny how good it is. What I do Plugin wise:

• Documents: not implemented yet by me,but one could store manuals,etc. directly within netbox.

• Lifecycle and Inventory: While it’s not as good as snipe-it (tbh, inventory is imho one of the worst plugins) it does the job for my small deployment

• Slurp it to scan automatically

• QR Code for obvious reasons

• Floorplan as well

Of course that sounds overkill for a small deployment, but I simply forget too many things after a few months otherwise and it’s something my family (wife is in IT and far more qualified than me) would need if something happens to me,so a proper documentation would be essential for that as well.

Just saying:

There are alternatives for LE,not for all things, but for a lot. Afaik not all of them do follow suit.

For a lot of technical things that need to keep stable I use ASA these days. While PETG and PCTG (I mainly use PCTG these days instead of PETG) are cheaper and a little bit easier to print, I have found PETG to be too UV suspectible over time - unless there are additives in it- and I had some parts printed in PETG and exposed to the sun indoors (exposed spot close to the window,but under pressure,like your desk leg) loose strength. While ASA is more expensive and a little bit more difficult to print, but there are versions who are extremely easy to print these days. (But get a proper exhaust / filtering solution) and I simply want things to “work” for a long time. ("Do it right once*-mentality probably) The mixture of the mechanical strain and UV+ temperature seems to be the issue and ASA tolerantes that better.

For laundry detergents PETG should be no issue, wouldn’t use PLA,though. DO.NOT.USE.FDM.PRINTED materials for anything that touches your food unless you have done a lot of research. Don’t trust the" no issues" fanboys.

3. That’s ASA. Most definitly. If you need more structural strength use something with CF. If that isn’t enough maybe PC/PBT CF - but that is overkill…

To be honest: For that money I would rather go for another 50- 100$ if you can somehow afford them and consider a centauri carbon 1.

They are decent, work out of the box, now offer a open source firmware and you are set to print basicay everything beside automatic multicolor (which might or might not come…very likely not ). But they are good for all technical filaments, they are fully endclosed,etc.

Don’t get a refurbished printer. Never.

And stay away from Bambu unless you are aware of the walled garden.

As the original link has been taken down and your advice is still very valid just one point I wanted to add: This is valid UNLESS it’s from someone whom you know well enough that they tell you the truth and knows what they are doing - in that case it can be a good idea to buy a used printer from someone who knows what they are doing and who has ironed out the teething problems some machines have and can provide advice if something goes wrong.

I was luckily enough to do something similar (with my CNC-machine,though. Standard MPCNC,but the friend I got them from is a pro - he designs his own mainboards and stuff - and would have been able to fix some issues myself without him/would have become frustrated) once and was able to help out a friend this way - he got a nice, highly modified but working very well Anycubic (back then one of the most reliable models…) and I got money for the next machine.

Otherwise: your advice is very valid. I also fucked up in that regard once.

Yeah,Netbox is also my main solution, combined with forgejo repo.

Works very well.

Stinky is an understatement - ABS is literally toxic (enough that a longer print can kill a small bird in the room) and while ASA is toxic as well, it is less so.

Nevertheless both require a good exhaust/filter solution.

Funny enough it was quite the opposite for me I had horrible experiences with eSun(and still have them when I open a role that is still orginally packed from my storage) and switched to Sunlu/Jayo and did not have to many issues (as in: Two. Once a order was massively delayed (not their, something went wrong at the parcel service), the other time a role was not correctly packed (in one of the triple packs) and they send another three role package.

Print wise they are by far the most printed filament for us and we got through upper double digits by now.

For PLA: SUNLU/Jayo(same company) for standard stuff Polymaker for special stuff

PCTG: Extrudr

ASA: Black Forest Filaments(if in Europe), Extrudr, Spectrum

Avoid PETG and use the even better PCTG.

Jayo is literally SUNLU,btw.

She operated a (pretty shady) bar and basically prioritised that and her own enjoyment over her child a lot of times,letting her child sleep in the (guest area of the) bar,even when she was not working and someone else (she barely knew) worked there because she was out partying. Additionally this lifestyle led to her sleeping in for a long time letting her daughter often be unsupervised/uncared for at a very young age (like…toddler age) - as it happened on that day. (She kid skipped school - very likely with her mother knowing and allowing her after a fight they had. And left “to visit a friend the same age” - who would be in school at that time. There are some sources citing neighbours that it’s possible she threw her out because the girl was getting on her nerves as she possibly did before).

She actually, under mounting pressure from the German version of CPS and her relatives and friends openly (including in front of the child) discussed giving her up for adoption (like she had done 2 times before with other children)/ claimed she didn’t want to be responsible for the child.

She later refused to take part in the court proceedings, mainly these also did shine some light on her role of her as a mother and actually was almost imprisoned for being in contempt of the court. There are some theories that this, together with the fact that the perpetrator claiming that he was blackmailed by the child which back then would have fallen back on her as well (even if obviously untrue) was the real reason she decided to kill the guy at the time she did. (She later on confessed that it was murder and not manslaughter)

Surely a lot of things must be seen in the (very tight and depressing) morals of the time - she was a young woman with a bad family history herself and then her life became even worse. But…that was not the fault of the child as well. And by either standards, todays as well as the ones back then she surely was a bad mother,sorry.

Was she responsible for the murder of her daughter? No. Does that make her less of a bad person and less of a murderer herself? No.

(We had to cover this case in uni extensively - one of my professors actually was working as a DA in the same building back when it happend – or something like that, can’t remeber-)

Same here - using it on various Nvidia based machines without any issues.

To be honest: She was far from a saint herself and it’s very likely that she didn’t do it for the girl but more to make sure she wasn’t painted in even more of a bad light

It’s a sad story all along.

Well, the AM transmitter in the old car won’t work anymore as well.

Cars do age the same in terms of user experience - they are simply frozen in the state they are. (And at least within the EU can be operated fully offline)

The author seems to be more concerned that his car might not get “new features” anymore - and that bothers hims as the “free update” culture is extending to a lot of things. Technology advances but nothing has changed about that - that was always the case and now we can at least update some things.

While I would love to have a carnaker offer a open source plattform that would make people able to update and modify the entertainment/navigation part of their car I actually spoke to a car makers product manager about it - and sadly the multitude of regulations cars fall under in their various markets makes that basically impossible.

More important would be that we campaign for other things in terms of laws (some are in place in the EU but are currently under pressure):

• Manufacturers need to provide security updates for online functions for 10 years after the end of production.

• Manufacturers need to provide navigation updates for 5 years after the end of production

• Cars need a designated fully offline mode

• Driving data obtained must not be used for commercial purposes. (Currently already implemented in the GDPR)

• Important and often overlooked: Manufacturers must provide service software tools for cars for ALL repair shops and for at least 20 years after end of production. AND we need to work towards an open source industry standard.

So far that’s not working to much,but development is fast it seems

Basically a book downloader that connects to various sources, mainly Annas archive, and then hands the downloads over to CWA(or booklore). While still heavily under development it works.

Calibre Web Automated and Ephemera. But looking to switch to Booklore some day,just haven’t had the time.

Mealie is far superior to Tandoor,imho.
