  • Reddit alternatives seem to attract people who were banned from Reddit. I think that explains a lot about the general vibe on here. I was never on Voat but I’m aware of its reputation, and a lot of the time Lemmy feels like how I imagine Voat was, same personalities, different politics.

  • Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

    Jump

  • Background: I just got my first printer (Bambu Lab A1 mini) last year. I am also not an engineer and, like you, don't want the printer itself to be the hobby.

    Based on my experience, and what I've seen others say online, Bambu Lab is still the king of "it just works". If you're not as ideologically motivated by right to own as I am, I'd say go with Bambu.

    While I have zero experience with the company, Prusa seems to be the most consumer friendly, though they have their own issues. If I buy a second printer, it's likely going to be the Prusa Core One.

    Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?

  • Thanks. Not sure if this is what you meant. The shape is distinct but the colors are similar. My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on as a hobby.

  • I forgot about dev mode. How does that compare to pre-enshittified firmware?

  • I'm definitely an "it just works" guy, and I am by no means an engineer. For me the printing is the hobby, not the printer.

    Multimaterial would be good, but only if it doesn't have to purge between colors. I bought the AMS lite along with the mini, and while it's convenient when I want to print something in a different color, only having one nozzle means a truly multi-color print takes orders of magnitude longer to finish unless the print itself is completely designed around the limitations of the single-nozzle setup. Having said that, if the MMS can also act as dry storage that would be a plus even if I primarily use one filament per print.

    It's less about specific build volume and more what I can fit into the existing space while providing more build volume than the Mini's 7x7x7 inches. I'd say the overall footprint of the printer has to be less than 60 cm on a side, since the table my current printer is on is 60 cm deep.

    Enclosure is also a must-have.

  • Upgrading from Bambu Lab A1 Mini

    Jump

  • I was going to say about 10x10x10 inches, but after recalculating the dimensions of the latest thing I'm making (a pill bottle organizer) I may be able to squeeze it onto the mini, so the thing that prompted this post may be a non issue, at least for now. Continued suggestions are welcome though.

  • What exactly does the mini do that makes it worth keeping if I get a larger printer? I'm not sure I can justify owning more than one.

  • I'm attempting to run a NodeBB forum. I'm only assuming that web sockets was the issue because the first search result I came up with that matched my symptoms mentioned it.

    Jump

  • Cool. Follow up question: Do I generate the cert once and distribute the same private key to all the servers I'm running? I'm guessing not, but does that mean I run the certbot command on every server?

  • I looked up Cloudflare tunnels and tried setting one up. Some things future readers may want to know:

    1. You have to set Cloudflare as your domain's authoritative nameservers.
    2. You need to set up an account (not a problem) but also have to register a payment method, even for the free tier (no me gusta).
    3. Regarding NodeBB specifically, if you set up a tunnel, you can access the forum, even over HTTPS, but it fails when you try to log in. A few minutes of searching leads me to believe it has something to do with web sockets, and the solution requires you to partially expose your IP address, defeating the principle purpose for me to use cloudflare in the first place.

  • Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware?

    Jump

  • Also, remote printing and monitoring are nice features, which would be a pity to lose.

    I don't see an easy way to accomplish this independent of Bambu's servers, especially if you use the handy app on your phone.

  • Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware?

    Jump

  • Slightly harder: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked

    I assigned a static IP address to my A1 mini in my router, and made a firewall rule preventing all traffic originating from that IP from going to the internet. The printer is also in LAN only mode, but I periodically have to reconnect it to Bambu studio which is annoying.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • On Lemmy you can see (and search) a list of all the activity from every instance federated to your home instance. Looking at Ibis, which a few posters have mentioned on this thread, it has a discover page with a list of federated instances and articles on those instances. The current format is hardly scalable, but it's a start.

    But, as I said before, the issue is less about discoverability and more about editing. Just like I can post in this thread even though I'm on a different instance, you can edit an article on one instance even though you're on another. The alternative as used by Wikipedia, is to allow anyone, account or not, to edit. Requiring someone to have an account on a federated instance would mitigate a fair amount of spam and ease moderation.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • In addition to discoverability, I'd say it provides a happy medium between letting every rando with an IP address edit a page and requiring account creation. Part of the point of the fediverse is to have (almost) everything in one place under a single account while still keeping things decentralized.

  • This looks interesting.

    Seems like it's still early days yet, but are there plans to add things like namespaces and categories?

  • I'm not thinking of a single distributed wiki, but something more like Fandom where you can edit pages on other wikis that are federated to yours.
