  • As with most things: it depends...

    If you're in a country where ISP's freely give out user info, I'd say you should have a VPN.If you're on a private tracker, you might not need it, but you never know if the people hunting pirates managed to get in there too.I don't use one as our ISP's mostly throw those letters in the trash and I'm in a private tracker, but your mileage may vary.

    To get started, you only need a server (like Jellyfin or Plex) and a torrent client. Then you can automate it with the .arr stack, such as Radarr and Sonarr, race others with autodl-issri/Autobrr, share your media with friends and family with open ports (not recommended) or Tailscale/Netbird...It gets as advanced as you yourself want it to be.

    Feel free to ask if you have any questions, not just about piracy but how to set things up in general.Good luck, and remember to have fun while doing it. If you don't, you won't bother keeping it updated and working in the future.

  • Webrips. That’s how we get movies and shows today without waiting for physical media being released

  • How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything

    Jump

  • Are you streaming to a Chromecast, by any chance? Or a older Galaxy device?The 4k Chromecast with Google TV does not support AV1, but the 1080p version does. Jellyfin tried Direct Playing AV1 files, which obviously went poorly.

    I run the same CPU in my NUC as you do, and all data is on a NAS shared with NFS. It's been absolutely bulletproof for about a year, so I'm confident you should be able to make this work.

    Any other containers running at the same time?No cooling issues?

    Just asking because mine dropped massively in temp when repasted.

  • FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU

  • I disagree, but not just to disagree.

    AMS is still very useful for having hazzle free filament swaps, keeping the filament dry and with the AMS 2 even drying the filament.If all you do is multimaterial or multicolour, then sure, INDX/Snapmaker/Vortek is amazing for time and cost saving, but most people at home will never ever be able to reach a volume of poop where it makes financial sense to pay the premium.The Snapmaker is obviously an exception, but it sacrifices both build volume and a heated chamber to achieve the <1k price.

    95% of what I do is mono colour, so the ocational toy for the kids with 200g of poop for a 50g part is worth the trade.

    People also severely underestimate the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) for many of us. If my missus has to tinker more than 15 seconds before a print, I recieve the brunt if her frustration. It’s quite probable that all these tool-/hotend-swap systems will require some love as well. RatRig’s IDEX and Prusa XL have had many experienced people giving up.

    I think this topic is highly subjective and personally just ordered the H2S. Quick math showed me I needed >75 rolls of pure poop before the H2D would make sense, and H2C will cost even more. I’d rather look at these systems down the line when more quirks have been ironed out.

  • Hot on the heels of the H2S, Bambu Lab announces the seven-color, wireless nozzle-swapping Vortek H2C

    Jump

  • I really have no clue.It looks like a cool system, but I also think they might be rushing it to have a reply to the U1.Will it work well from the get go?How long does it take to change filament and hotend?Will mis-alignment stop prints often, as things get worn?

    They also cannot possibly price it lower that the H2D, as it is the same printer with more tech.Prusa has also more or less confirmed to be releasing the INDX-system soon, which seems like a smarter system to me.

    If it turns out as polished as Bambu often do and not to expensive (sub 3k), then it will demolish the competition. I’m happy we all get to be a part of the insane development race going on these days.

    Also: if Prusa wants to compete, they have to offer a heated chamber and decent camera as standard. I still can’t fathom how they dared to release the Core One without.I’m willing to pay quite a bit more for European made, but not if it feels like a complete rip-off.

  • Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think it's very clever, but like you say it will be interesting to see how the system fairs outside a lab environment over time.And even if it does work flawlessly, there is no way they will price it lower than the H2D which is already outside what I consider reasonable for sporadic home use.

    If all my dreams come true, the competition heats up and they end up dumping the prices over the board.Realistically though, I'll keep an eye on the H2S over the next few months and see if people have issues with it before I give away even more of my hard earned money.

  • I'm thinking more and more that this is a semi-rushed response to Snapmaker having insane success on KS with their U1, more than a goodwill gesture from BL, tbh.

    I also struggle seeing the true point of it, depending on what the price ends up being.Let's say it lands at 2500-3000€. The H2S will have higher print speed (lighter gantry), fewer movable parts and a thoroughly tested hot end setup at 1150€ without AMS.1500€ in poop is going to take most people a lifetime to produce, not considering the advanced Vortek system needing maintenance. That's like 75 full 1 kg rolls of pure poop if you pay 20€ for each.It will also require at least two AMS units to function fully, both of which are proprietary and useless the day you buy another branded machine.If you don't need a heated chamber or the increased print size, you can get away with the P-series for even less money.

    Add the closed ecosystem to the mix, and I can't really see any viable reason to wait for the H2C at all...Am I just being dumb here? I'd genuinely like to know

  • Have you ever cried because of a video game?

    Jump

  • Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".I bawled my eyes out.

    Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.

  • I don't know why it wouldn't be, as they are great products out of the box.A bit pricy, but worth it. I'd give the same recommendation as you for anyone wanting to dabble a little and have room to grow and play with VLAN's, ACL's and expandability in the future.

  • People who don't live alone, who does the cooking?

    Jump

  • Same for us.She hates cooking and it looks like a bomb went off when she's done. I hate doing laundry and it looks like a toddler folded the clothes when I'm done.Cooking and cleaning probably takes more time per day, but we're both happy.

    A win/win that has never been explicitly agreed to, just happened naturally.

  • What is a food that you are very picky about?

    Jump

  • Carbonara.

    I've been served this dish with peas, with onions and with cream.I can forgive the bacon if it's really good bacon, as guanciale/pancetta can be hard to get here, but for gods sake don't ruin it with anything else.

    I rarely order it when out because so many places just serve a generic dish with bacon and ham without mentioning it, and I am not being the snob that asks what they use.

  • There has to be a passive way to catch mosquitoes, right?

    Jump

  • Can confirm the gas powered ones work really well, but you gotta run it early in the season to catch the fuckers right after hatching.

    A friend lives in moscito hell and could probably make burgers daily with the amount he catches.

    Thanks for the advice!

    Urge is still my go to every single time I want soda. Solo for easter and Julebrus for Christmas

  • What was that thing you got really good at, and how good are you?

    Jump

  • Reading people.Had some troubles with family members and drugs growing up, so you learn to read situations and people real fast. I guess it’s a survival skill as addicts often say and do what they need to to get their next fix.

    A nice «skill» to have, even though I’d rather I didn’t need to develop it

  • Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box

    Jump

  • I’m using a Chromecast with Google TV, simply because that’s what I had when I started.Hoping a new Shield will come before it dies, alternatively I need to find something else.

    After I migrated to a N100 that does all transcoding for me, the media device itself is more about codec support, a nice UI and response times and less about raw power.

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • Sounds rough my friend. Mine were trying to guide, but without yelling or consequences.

    Glad to hear you kept the good bits and do allright for yourself these days!

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • Can't say I can relate, sadly.

    Could you share some examples?

  • Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

    Jump

  • They never said I'd feel like a fool, but mentioned that I'd probably understand later in life, and they were spot on, but it comes gruadually.

    As an example: when I started paying my own bills, I stopped taking endless showers and later started being frustrated when my kids do.

    I also very recently started understanding why they hated smartphones with small screens as they typed so slowly, as I keep mis-typing more and more myself.

    So I'd say it starts when moving out and the realities of life hits you square in the face, and then the rest come dripping slowly over time.Becomming a parent slaps you with another big load as well.
