I don't want to dox myself by saying too many details or accurate listings, but the one I worked at was basically:
opening the doors in a location and letting people in to do their thing.
occasionaly helping with location related issues (like toilet paper refills)
making sure the location is in order and everybody is out after they are done
closing the doors again
it started in the evening and ended a couple of hours past midnight, which my colleagues all complained about for some reason
Other I saw occasionally in multiple locations:
forestfire watch. You sit in a tower in a forest and look around with binoculars every quarter hour. If you see smoke, you try to figure out where it is on a map and notify somebody. Three 8h shifts, so you can pick day, evening or night.
sleep research facility, where you go help the sleepers, if they have some issue in the middle of the night.
In my location, there are a lot of evening and night time jobs that are pretty chill and pay rather well, because most people are "normal" and don't like to do them.
Most of them revolve around just sitting in a room and checking whether everything is fine once an hour. I'm speaking from experience, having done those kind of jobs on the side.
Best part for me was that it felt like 8-10h of free time where I played games and watched youtube, while getting paid.
I don't really know what search term to give you to find them, but I just scroll the local job market and find open positions all the time.
Software jobs in my area on the other hand are very annoying and require you to jump through 3 interviews and 2 tests while applying, be up early, on time, in office, regulated breaks instead of when I need them, pretend to be at 100% productivity all the time etc. for a barely 30% higher pay... not worth the effort at all.
Sometimes even layer height can affect bridge behaviour.
But first thing I'd do is to rotate the piece by 90° on the bed and see if the thin bridges that you can see behind the thick curved ones, change their orientation to be short instead of long.
And then try to figure out what makes those thick curved bridges happen.
It would help if you showed how it looks in the slicer.
But from the photo it looks like it made the bridge in a circular way instead of in parallel lines. If you can make the bridging go strictly in parallel lines from top to bottom, it should turn out better.
Aaah thanks for explaining, I didn't even know that was a thing, cause I never did any tutorials, I just started rawdogging it at some point when I needed to do a project.
I do mostly functional designs and I agree that Blender is not the best for it tbh. it can be fiddly and unintuitive. I guess I just know my way around it rather well by now.
There is this plugin that can make it more interesting for people that come fom the CAD workflow: https://www.cadsketcher.com/ (but you won't be making realistic doughnuts with it either)
if somebody is looking for a solution that is effectively equivalent to a proxy, they can enter into the search engine either "vpn" or "proxy" and they will find more results that will work for their usecase that way.
While you are getting hung up on semantics that I technically agree on, but I find meaningless in the real world usecase of looking for a solution that effectively works like a proxy.
If you have one of those cars that can be used as a boat. And you only ever use it in water and never on land, it doesn't really make sense to me to exclusively call it a car. Even though it factually is one, it acts as a boat. At least call it carboat.
If I have a VPN, but it's sole purpose is to take all the traffic that knocks on it's network-adapter and shove it down a dev/tun and vice verca, why can we not say (with the goal of clear communication and precise descriptions) that it effectively acts as a proxy ?
Hell the ability to access the internet via the tunnel, called Split Tunneling, is also controllable.
It’s that ability to control where the tunnel terminates that allows consumer VPNs, like Proton, to be used the way they are.
you can do the same split tunneling via proxy servers
while private individuals absolutely do use VPNs as an ersatz replacement for Proxy Servers they are nowhere near the whole use case for VPN
I agree. That also means that for certain usecases they are equivalent. It's sometimes worth checking all options to find the best one for that specific case.
Most people only search for "VPN" because thats the term that got marketed for decades.
But the problem can be solved by using a proxy as well.
The intent of my comment was just to point to a second term - "proxy" - that can be used to find more valid, alternative solutions to the problem of making your homelab hosted services publicly available. And I think you agree with me, that proxy is the term closer to the usecase, even though we both correctly state that a VPN can be used as a proxy.
To make a bad analogy (it's the first thing that came to mind): It's like people buying a wok, even though they really just need a pan. And so they only search for wok, because every company says wok all the time, even though they will never use the wok as a wok, but just as a normal pan.
Even by your definition that should be a VPN, right?
... in my case, I have a homelab, a VPS and a user of a service that runs on my homelab. The VPS is just a proxy for the homelab. The user (client) talks to the homelab (server), through the VPS (proxy) so not, not really a VPN, even if I'd set up openVPN between VPS and homelab. They are not two clients.
A virtual private network (VPN) is an overlay network that uses network virtualization to extend a private network across a public network, such as the Internet, via the use of encryption and tunneling protocols. In a VPN, a tunneling protocol is used to transfer network messages from one network host to another. Host-to-network VPNs are commonly used by organisations to allow off-site users secure access to an office network over the Internet. Site-to-site VPNs connect two networks, such as an office network and a datacenter.
So my argument is, if it is not used for private communication between multiple clients, it's not really a VPN.
Lets say, we both connect to the same Proton VPN server - our computers would not see each other and would not be able to connect to each other via that service. It has effectively the same function as a proxy - making your public internet traffic appear to come from the IP of the proxy server instead of your home IP.
Whereas if you set one up yourself with openVPN for example, we could make it so that we both get a VPN internal IP that we could use to directly connect and idk, play minecraft or something. Instead of connecting through the public internet, we would connect through a virtual network that is private for the two of us.
What did you try and what was the error?
