  • The Verge got official answers to some questions and IMHO the responses are all wrong.

    https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24349031/bambu-3d-printer-update-authentication-filament-subscription-lock-answers

    1. Will Bambu publicly commit to never requiring a subscription in order to control its printers and print from them over a home network?

    For our current product line, yes.

    1. Will Bambu publicly commit to never restricting the use of third-party filament in any way, shape, or form?

    For our current product line, yes.

    1. Will Bambu publicly commit to offering and keeping the local Developer mode available in any future printers it releases?

    We cannot commit to features for non-existent future printers.

    1. Will Bambu publicly commit to its current and future printers permanently being remotely controllable over LAN without user account or Internet access?

    For current models: Yes.

    Basically it was corp speech for "DRM on filament, subscriptions, and forced cloud mode will come in the next models". Otherwise they wouldn't have put such emphasis on "current models" and completely leave the door open for anything that might come out next month

  • for some reason i read xfs instead of btrfs....

    their array implementation is stupid and smart at the same time. I love that you can mix and match disks at random, even with different filesystems (you can have one drive in murderfs, one in xfs, one in btrfs and the last one in zfs and all protected with the same parity drive), but i completely hate how my server is locked by a 25% iowait due to how much cpu intensive is their softraid. Maybe when they came out with this system 20 years ago it was groundbreaking, but now it is stupid. Now with unraid 7 released one week ago they're starting to deprecate it (disabled by default in new install) in favor of native btrfs or zfs arrays

  • a btrfs "array" in unraid is composed by individual btrfs partitions mounted as /mnt/disk1 /disk2 /disk3 and so on, then there's a daemon that makes a "unified" view at /mnt/user/, and it uses a different algorithm for parity.

    There's a way to make real btrfs raid arrays, but it has been introduced very recently (1-2 years ago), and it's not the default that you create when you use the Web UI.

  • The unraid array it's not an array, but a bunch of xfs partitions where a third party program is doing softraid. If opened on any other Linux distro, they will mount but parity drives are ignored

  • If you have new drives: make a zfs array and copy all files there

    If you want to recycle drives while temporarily keeping the parity drives: from unraid 7 set a drive as unused, use the mover (or unbalance) to empty it, check if it's actually empty by going to /mnt/diskX , format it as btrfs, set it as preferred for your shares, choose another disk to empty, use the mover to move all the data from the next disk to the new btrfs one, then remove the empty drive and add it to the btrfs raid. Repeat.

  • Uncompressed Blu-ray rips are almost the same size when compressed with lossless compression. The binary content of h264 files are almost random bits so deduplication is almost a waste of CPU time. Maybe you can save space from the useless repeated media like trailers and other ads in the bluray isos

  • spammers they just email info@domain and call it a day, they don't try to see if you have some custom naming scheme. I bounce all emails sent to that, the rest is catchall, with occasional blacklist to some TLD like .monster .asia .xyz or .su

  • Every site needs a government license and it's trivial to detect and flag incoming traffic on web ports on a residential IP address - they are going to be interested in what kind of " subversive propaganda " you're hosting

  • wow, really neat design for this price range

  • It seems like regular people can get a public IPv6 so they can self host at home. Although, technically, everything public facing needs a ICP license so hosting stuff on Port 80/443 can draw a target on the head

    Otherwise rent a vps in Singapore/Korea/Japan plus a .com domain and access via cloudflare tunnel as too much traffic over SSH/VPN/rarely used ports to a fresh Ipv4 address leads it to automatic probing and ban https://gfw.report/blog/gfw_shadowsocks/

  • Automatic photo upload works good, but it's the album creation (and sharing with other users) that severely lacks in features. 3rd party modules like memories are also better

    But for official photos, last time i checked it 3 months ago, you could add photos to an album only at the moment of creation, and not add later

  • Nextcloud photos is in the "proof of concept" stage, not even alpha.

  • the reason OP was thinking of doing this, was saving disk space and avoiding buying another hdd. So if it's a 1:1 full disk image, then there's almost no difference with the costs of raid1. Setting exclusions, avoiding certain big files, and so on. In this case he's talking about restic, which can restore data but very hard to do a full bootable linux system - stuff needs to be reinstalled

  • i was also thinking like this, then i had to restore everything from a backup when the ssd suddenly died. I wasted so much time setting everything back as before

  • When I did it, I did it manually with thunderbird, which is a great way to delete clutter meanwhile

    Just select 1000 emails at a time and drop them in another IMAP server folder

  • It's dangerous and you can blew it if you don't know what are you doing but by shorting two specific pins, it's possible to turn on the PSU and see it it's working or not

    Did you use a vacuum on the fans and let them spin during the clean?

  • I think 5 years ago, on Ubuntu

  • 64 gb of ecc ram (48gb cache used by zfs) with 2tb drives (3 of them)

  • I have similar speeds on a truenas that I installed on a simple i3 8100
