I'm a big, imposing, totally manly, ex-elite military, father, identifying as hetero, who has had the occasional man-crush. But as Robbie Williams said, can't handle the whole "dick thing"

I refuse to use labels. People are people. Period. It's like classifying people by their preferred color.

Of course. Does that justify this?

I have universal care. I was not diagnosed until my 50's. It's not just poverty, it's not realizing there is an underlying something to your misery/behavior.

Reading the snippet reinforced my suspicion that I'm not able to read German

There is no cure for baldness, else Bezos would have a mane.

Wouldn't the Texas requirement allow New York to challenge all the southern bullshit, like religion in schools, book bans, etc?

Do they want to open that can of worms?

Also, this makes as much sense as North Korea trying to get the US to abide by their laws.

Yes, and he eats grass fed beef, it counts as vegan.

While pure silica gel should not be very toxic, colored silica gel has compounds that produce that color change.

You'll notice that silica gel is not sold as "pure".

The thing is that none are food grade, so it's perfectly legal to have impurities, and from what I have read, the coloring agents are toxic. Usually not worrying in the amounts used in the hobby, but still, what I warn people is about heating, breathing, etc products or materials which produce suspensions, aerosols, vapors for which we have little research or data.

Yes I remeber Deathstars. However, these past years I perfunctorly peruse Backblaze's yearly drive failure reports, and have noticed a trend, which is that most drives are fine, but every year there are a few that stand out as very bad, and they usually Seagate/WDC.

Exceptions yada, yada

Nor the Italians nor the Spanish. The UK, Italy and Spain (And the Turks, Japanese, Australians, and probably others) are SOl, because they are forced to replace their Harriers with F35s, which are the only modern VTOL/STOVL, but have the whole "The US has you by the balls" thing.

Heh. You really should put your /S at the end. Some dumb readers may interpret this as serious.

Not to be confused with the ping pong ball eater snake, or the larger basketball eater snake

 

No affiliation or anything. I’m simply stoked!

Elegoo Rapid PETG. I like PETG, but with my printer (Ender 5 Plus, slightly tuned; DD, All metal hotend, dual gear extruder, accelerometer…) regular PETG is sloooow. I’m already up to 180 mm/s it prints beautifully. As with all PETG it likes to be thoroughly dry. Once dry it prints like a PLA+. Beautiful definition.

I paid about 15€ per roll, but buying a 4 pack, it comes to about 12,50€ per roll, so about the same as PLA.

I’m just not buying regular PLA, or PETG anymore. The new generation of materials just leave the older ones in the dust. I had a few rolls of standard PETG that I had slowly been using up, but I sold the last 2, I couldn’t bear the waiting times.

I’m going to try a bunch of the new modified materials, like ABS plus and HT, ASA plus, and especially Polymaker’s HT-PLA-GF, a glass fiber high temp PLA that can be annealed in boiling water without deformation to withstand temps like 150º. Nuts! They are basically sold out until August, but once back in stock I’m buying the stuff.

Interesting times to be in the hobby.

 

Bonus points: Multi platform, Android-iOS... I usually use Thunderbird, but I'd like to explore other options. FOSS not mandatory

 

I use the app in an iPad, a much of the time when I click with my finger on the comments icon, my finger hits the community link.

Anybody else have this problem?

 

We are happy, very happy, that you have joined the light side of the force, but here you are preaching to the choir. Go knock on doors and help others see the light. Oh, and sending some money to one of the thousands of FOSS projects that keep this running would be nice too.

Anyway, welcome again.

Is there a way to have Voyager use an external browser to display web links? In iPad I’d like to use Brave, to minimize ads

 
 

I currently have an HP micro server gen 8 with Xpenology with hybrid raid, which works fairly well, but I’m 2 major versions behind. I’m quite happy with it, but I-d like to have an easier upgrade process, and more options. My main use is NAS and a couple of apps. I’d like to have more flexibility, to easily have an arr suite, etc.

Considerdering the hassle of safely upgrading xpenology because of the hybrid raid (4+4+2+2 Gb HDDs) I-d like a setup which I can easily upgrade and modify.

What are my options here? What RAID options are there that easily and efficiently these these disks?

I don-t have the spare money right now to replace the 2Gb disks. Planned in the future

I’m usually an Android/Linux user, but also use an iPad. In both Android and Linux I manage to have a mostly ad free experience, with Piped, for example, or with a plugin combo in Firefox. Is there a way to have this on the iPad? The whole no plugin thing in iPad Firefox is quite maddening.

 

I've been using rustdesk for while, and it works very well for me. The news of it being somewhat opaque, and developed from China, makes me a bit nervous.

Is there a FOSS equivalent that won't make me jump through hoops, and be easily installed by someone else remotely?

I would like to be able to have it run at startup in Linux and windows, have a fairly complete feature set, like file transfer, copy paste, etc.

Also it'd be great if it could be easily installed by someone else remotely. I do SMB support, usually onsite, which is why it's not cost effective to pay for a Teamviewer or Anydesk license.

I'm taking a look through flathub, but recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

What do you consider to be the "Goldilocks" distro? the one that balances ease of install and use, up-to-date, stability, speed, etc... You get the idea.

I'm not a newb, these last few years I've lived in the Debian and derivatives side of things, but I've used RH, Slackware, Puppy :), and older stuff, like mandrake/mandriva and others. Never tried Suse or Arch, and while Nix looks appealing, I need something to put in production rapidly. I have tried Kinoite in a VM, but I couldn't install something (which I can't remember), and that turned me off.

Oh I'm on Mint right now, because lazy, but it's acting up with a couple of VMs, which I need, I really don't have the time or desire to maybe spend two days troubleshooting, and I'm a bit fed up with out of date pkgs.
