Peter Lustig's unlustiger verschollener Sohn mit weirden Interessen und Gadsen.

🇩🇪 DE/EN 🇬🇧

Peter Lustig used to be the moderator in an old German kids science and nature series called "Löwenzahn" (Dandelion) who shaped our generation.He also shaped my childhood, and I want to honour him.

My real name also isn't "Günther", it's just a reference to "Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Günther" from Spongebob: The Movie, because I wanted it to sound like a real name and it makes conversations easier.

  • sharing experience with greentec (extrudr) / warping help

    Jump

  • I have some experience, but with the GreenTec PRO. I don't know if you have the same, or if it's another thing.

    The GTP is a composite material, meaning it's made of at least two different polymers. IIRC it's PLA (or something very similar) and Lignin, which gives it the heat and mechanical resistance.

    I had the experience that it behaves quite the opposite of ABS or other warping prone materials. Usually, slower cooling (enclosure, high bed temp, low fan speed) means less warping.

    But GTP was different. I had way less warping when I increased the cooling fan (max) and decreased the bed temp to around 50°C.It should solidify as soon as it comes out of the nozzle in my experience.

  • What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print?

    Jump

  • Laboratory note book for my new research group

    Jump

  • Obsidian or Logseq.

    I've used Logseq for my lab journal, thoughts, and whatsoever, and it works excellent for that.

    • You can link different things/ dates with each entry
    • Markdown
    • Functions and querys
    • Local
    • Very flexible
    • And you can find pretty much every thought you've ever had, nothing is lost.

    It can be tricky tho if you want to collaborate, because the sync isn't perfect yet, but the devs are working really hard on it

  • Does this count too?

    I already posted this on !balconygardening@slrpnk.net. .

    I'm purposefully growing duckweed on my balcony.I'm doing !hydroponics@slrpnk.net, and by doing that, I have lots of waste water with still good fertilizer in it.

    Duckweed is one of the fastest growing, nutrient densest and least demanding plant out there, and you can just scoop it out with a strainer.

    It's exponentially growing and if you don't wanna eat it, it makes great organic fertiliser or animal feed with lots of protein and micronutients!

  • What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?

    Jump

  • CasaOS isn't an OS, it's just the web interface you install afterwards you have Debian or whatever running

  • What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?

    Jump

  • I can recommend you Debian, since it's the "default" for many servers and has a lot of documentation and an extremely big userbase.

    For web interfaces, I can recommend you, as you already mentioned, CasaOS and Cockpit.

    I used CasaOS in the beginning and liked it, but nowadays, I mostly use Cockpit, where I have the feeling that it integrates the host system more, and allows me to do most of my maintenance (updating, etc.) quite easily.

    CasaOS is more aesthetic imo, and allows you to install docker containers graphically, which is better for beginners.I personally do my docker stuff mostly via CLI (docker compose file) nowadays, because I find it more straightforward, but the configuration CasaOS offers is easier to understand and has nice defaults

  • when can we expect affordable steel/metal printers to hit the market?

    Jump

  • Depending on your use case, some high performance polymers like PEEK or Ultem (PEI) can have many advantages that metals have, but are still considered plastic, so you can print them relatively normally with SLS or sometimes even FDM printers.

    Printing metals is often way harder than polymers, due to high temperatures needed, and post processing is also way harder.

    What are your needs?

  • Should I go back to next cloud?

    Jump

  • Awesome! I didn't know this existed, but I definitely have to check that out. Thanks!

  • Smart TV OS Alternative

    Jump

  • KDE Connect has a remote feature for presentations. Maybe one can create a small interface/ WM for it?

    For example, Niri WM, configured with just left, right, and laserpointer as confirmation button. Based on uBlue, so it updates itself. Does that sound practical?

  • Smart TV OS Alternative

    Jump

  • I'm using it for years now to control the laptop from my couch? And it works great.

  • Smart TV OS Alternative

    Jump

  • You could maybe get an advertisement screen. You know, those you find at train stations and stores.

    Maybe, you could even get something like those touch panels McDonald's uses, that would be nice!

  • Smart TV OS Alternative

    Jump

  • The option(s) other commenters gave are great! But just to give you more options, I'll give you a few additional ideas.

    1. KDE Connect: You can still use a normal desktop (preferably KDE or Gnome), set your display scale to 150+%, and then use your phone remotely to control the cursor, media playback, and more.
    2. Bazzite: often used to replace SteamOS, it also boots into Steam big picture mode by default, where you can set applications in the start menu. It has a nice console-like interface, and you don't have to maintain anything, e.g. updating. It also supports Waydroid and webapps by default.
    3. An old laptop or mini-PC with Bluefin or Aurora. They are basically like Bazzite, but without gaming stuff. You can set the display scale to 200% and enjoy a worry-free experience. Optionally, you can install Phosh or Plasma Mobile on top, which is made for mobile devices.

  • Search for a note taking app (solved)

    Jump

  • I can still recommend you Logseq and Obsidian.

    They store their database mostly as plain markdown, so you can just use your sync app of choice (Nextcloud, Syncthing, etc.) to sync everything between devices.

    Maybe Logseq offers their sync as self hostable service too, I don't know.

    I find Logseq extremely awesome and would recommend it to you.

  • Adding storage - Best options? (External USB drives, automatic decryption, media, etc.)

    Jump

  • I chose to continue with my current setup until I get the time and motivation to upgrade.

    I will build a new server from scratch. For that, I bought an used mainboard for a few bucks, which has 6 SATA slots.

  • Can I salvage this?

    Jump

  • Instead of using a caliper, like the others have said, you can measure the distance with your printer if you don't have such a tool.

    Just go into the "Move axis"-mode, and move your nozzle from the home position to the top layer.

    Let's say your coordinates are now X0, Y0 and Z49,3.

    You can then move the object in your slicer by just changing your Z axis to -49,3.

    Just make sure you:

    1. Get a good first layer, without getting an elephant's foot.
    2. Don't use too much glue. A good choice is acrylic glue, but it will alter the surface if it droops out or is too far outside.
    3. Don't mechanically stress the object too much. It won't be as strong as before.

  • Has anyone used UmbrelOS or CasaOS?

    Jump

  • I use Casa"OS". It's fine, but nothing groundbreaking. Cockpit for example can do pretty much the same, and for Docker containers, I nowadays mostly use docker compose.

    But hey, it helped me a quite a bit in the beginning, and it's cool. Pretty basic, but enough for most people, mainly beginners.

  • Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes

    Jump

  • Logseq and Obsidian are only similar on the first look, but very different usage wise. Both are very open with a plugin system, and you can modify them to turn them into one eachother.

    So, if you want only FOSS, then Logseq is the only choices you have.

    But Obsidian is, even though it's proprietary, very sane. Open plug-in system, active community, great devs who don't have much against FOSS, and more.

    Obsidian

    • More similar to a classic note taking app, like OneNote, but with a lot of features. Hierarchical structure, and more of an "essay" style, where you store a lot of text in one page.
    • Page linking is only done when you think it makes sense
    • Has been a bit longer around than Logseq, feels more polished
    • Great sync and mobile app, which support plugins from what I've heard

    Logseq

    • Non-linear outliner. Every page is on the same level, but within a text passage, the indentation matters (parent-child-relationship)
    • You create a LOT of more pages. Most of my pages are empty. They are mainly there for linking topics. I rarely create pages manually.
    • The journal is where you write most stuff. You then link each block to a page.
    • Logseq a bit "special". May not be for everyone. I for example am a bit of a disorganised thinker, who mentally links a lot of knowledge and throws concepts around all the time. Logseq is my second nature, because it's more flexible. My GF on the other hand is more structured, and prefers something like Apple Notes, or, if she would care about note taking, something like Obsidian.
    • The mobile app isn't great. It's fine when I'm not at home, but the desktop version is the "proper" one, and mobile/ iPad a second class citizen.
    • Sync is only experimental for now. It will soon be officially supported (hopefully) and self hostable, but it worked fine for me.

  • Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes

    Jump

  • I don't see any problems with that. Even I (and probably most others here), who are FOSS advocates, think Obsidian's model is fine.

    The devs surely get why FOSS is important, and try their best to match the pros of open source. They even stated that if the company goes bankrupt or they stop developing the app, they'll open source it.

    One major thing they do absolutely right is how the notes get stored. On other note taking apps, it's a proprietary database, often "in the cloud", where your notes get hold hostage. Here, they're just Markdown files, and the whole thing is pretty open, encouraging a strong community.

    It's similar to Valve/ Steam. Proprietary, but liked by most Linux people.
