Where I wish it would be:
- Somewhere where there are more customisationS of how it actually stores files.
- Somewhere where it's possible to sync instances.

I still don't get the "It will be so much faster" claim.
Maybe if I am wrong,but with that system the process for a three colour print will be:
- Print the layer with Nozzle A.
- Cut the filament and retract it totally out of the tube. *
- Store Nozzle A
- Grab Nozzle B (can they be preheated?).
- Push the filament all the way into the tube while heating up Nozzle B.
- Print the layer with Nozzle B.
- Cut the filament and retract it totally out of the tube.
- Store Nozzle B.
- Grab Nozzle C.
- Push the filament all the way into the tube while heating up Nozzle C.
- Print the layer with Nozzle C.
- Cut the filament and retract it totally out of the tube.
- Store Nozzle C.
- Grab Nozzle A.
- Print next Layer.
Especially retracting and inserting takes ages - I only own the AMS 1 but I don't think the 2 is much faster - and the whole process can even that much faster
(*:This is one point where I wonder how well this will work. They basically need to cut directly over the nozzle/hotend to avoid excess. But as heat does go upward filament at this point is usually already reasonably soften. In the current mode of operations this is no issue as "the next filament" pushes it downward into the poop tower anyway. How well this will retract and extrude when BL claims the issue of softened filament is so big that this is the reason why the AMS 2 can't dry and print at the same time remains to be seen)
While on a full Toolchanger it is:
- Print Layer 1 with Toolhead 1.
- Store Toolhead 1
- Grab Toolhead 2
- Print Layer with Toolhead 2
- Store Toolhead 2
- Grab Toolhead 3
- Print Layer with Toolhead 3
- Store Toolhead 3
- Grab Toolhead 1
- Print next layer.
The only advantage I see with their model is the fact, that if you need more than 4 materials, any AMS like products needs in theory more careful planning unless you use one AMS per Toolchanger.
But with a tool changer the whole "retract and insert" in theory can be done during the time the tool is not used.
The other claim with the pogo pins was funny,though. At least it made Snapmaker publish a clarification of how long their pogo Pins are supposed to last and that they will be easily replaceable. I give them that.
They might ditch that - they published photos of a Bondtech INDX and the Core One. It might be,that they ditch the MMU3 all together.
Cooking at home. The wife cooks "everyday" meals because somehow she is much faster than I am, I cook for special occasions (e.g. when we have guests),but she became so good over the years she also does that often.
We rarely (like twice a year) use convenience food due to allergies and quality and most of the time cook "from zero", so that's a bit more time consuming but still manageable.
Mealie or Tandoor help a lot here, as you can better plan your cooking and build a menu for the week. (E.g. "If I do this on Monday, I have ingredients B and broth left over/can easily do more so I will do something with B on Tuesday and Soup on Wednesday. Oh, when I do noodles for soup I can also do a bit more and make pasta for Thursday") Additionally it makes it easier to adapt new recipes - we do various European dishes,from Portugal to Romania, some African and Arabian ones, some Indian, some South-East Asian ones and some Japanese and a lot of Korean ones. (We both lived abroad for a long time when we were younger). Especially for these rather "unusual" dishes planning is required as we sometimes need to order things online. (As getting some things is hard in rural central Europe). Grocy helps with that.
Delivery or Take Away is a rare choice,not only because it's often inferior quality, it's also fucking expensive. I can literally cook for a workweek for the money greek takeaway costs here. While we would have the financial means it's simply, well, wasteful. In all aspects.
Eating out is something we rarely do. We both do have probably four times the "eating out" occasions due to our jobs than private ones. But when we do it, we plan it very carefully. It can be everything from a "hole-in-the-wall" in a sketchy backyard to a Michelin three star restaurant,but when we do it, it's never out of "we are hungry, let's go" and more a "we are interested in this and this, let's find a restaurant that serves this."(E.g. the last time we went out it was a Persian/Iranian restaurant that various Persian/Iranian friends recommended. It was absolutely worth it)
The funny side effect? The kiddo(s) have been to three Michelin star restaurants before they were three. They know how to behave in a restaurant. They only sometimes used to get angry when someone handed them the kids menu. K1 cooks African, Georgian, Romanian, etc. dishes on the same level as my wife and went to shop alone at the African store in town when they cooked for us. Which is run by a few very scary looking (but in reality very nice and very correct - they saved two girls from sexual assault a few years ago) Nigerian dudes that half the town js scared off. They drag their grandparents - which on one side were born behind the iron curtain and rarely eat out- into hole-in-the-wall backalley restaurants in Berlin, etc. This is one of the achievements I am really proud of.
People: Learn to cook. Seriously.
Because at the moment we don't have a "hostile" job market yet - as written in the article, the market is only rapidly cooling down. As the market before was massively undersaturated it just means that people currently have less choices - but they still have their share of opportunities. But tbh, pure anecdotal, it pretty much reflects what I hear from graduates atm. The market for newly graduated has cooled down definitely, unless they have a ITsec background or have a fair share of experience already.

I just leave that here:
Yeah, to be honest, WG out of the box is really nice for tunneling and static IP road warriors. For larger deployments it's a bit of a PIA without DHCP.
Sadly.
But things like Netbird make it a bit easier.
To be honest as someone who works alongside these people occasionally: That's a rather small security detail and I know of people with far far less money that have bigger security details.
20 people is not even a close protection detail, a chase car and an advance party plus medics, even less so if you consider that some people will be off duty, etc.
Well, the obvious choice, Terry A. Davis, isn't with us anymore.
You didn't get my point: On Open Source people know. People know that Xorg is using arcane concepts and as a client you can pay someone to get through the code. Or a governmental institution can. (And yes, mine does with public reports)
This is not the case with closed sources. You will only know when someone has exploited it. And while closed source applications like Windows,Office,etc. are having enough public weight that a lot of people with good intentions see them as a "challenge" and test for exploits. This is already not the case for smaller,but often critical applications. And no,most commercial closed source applications don't give a fuck about security - even in critical infrastructure. I worked as a PM for these applications in the past and my company now consults for critical infrastructure. The status of security in niche applications is abhorrent. The longest running major exploit I stumbled upon was 22 years old. And left around 65% of all water treatment plants of a smaller nation at risk. (It's fixed now. Not because they wanted to, but because someone forced them to)
One thing people tend to overlook is: Development costs money. Fixing bugs and exploits costs money.
In a closed source application none will see that your software is still working with arcane concepts that weren't even state-of-the-art when written 25 years ago. The bug that could easily be used as an exploit? Sure, the developer responsible for it did inform his manager around 50 times he needs time and someone from the database team to fix it. And got turned down 50 times as it costs time and "we have to keep deadlines! And none noticed this bug so far,so why should now notice now?"
Just saw that my way of doing this isn't actually needed anymore, there is an integration now:
Yeah, absolutely - nevertheless it can inspire that reaction - which is a shame, because it's indeed fairly easy.
I absolutely second Technitium as well. That thing is rock solid, can be used for basically everything, has blocking with a multitude of options and does provide a nice graphical GUI.
I have it running in a dual DNS setup (main server+a Zimablade nowadays) and that shit just works - it's the container that has caused the least amount of problems in the last 3 years.
The API is fairly handy and quite easy - I have it integrated into HomeAssistant so I have a "Disable DNS Blocking" button in my "Network control" tab in the app.
The only downside is the fact that initially it can be quite overwhelming, especially if you are not an DNS guru and just did the step from AdGuard/PiHole - but soon you realise that you actually only need a few fields for basic operations.
I have to disagree here - you can absolutely run a large organisation on Linux (the Frenchies do it,e.g.).
The issue is the middle ground. A large company can absolutely invest into what's needed for that. They might even come out cheaper.
The small to middle companies are the issue. The ones with 1-10 people running their whole IT. For them, Linux based operations are an issue - there currently is absolutely nothing that is as "one module working well with another" than AD. (Which should please not imply that AD is well designed and working too well). Period.
I have just kicked Microsoft (mostly) out of my company. But that is my personal decision - I am the CEO and we are small enough that I can do most IT support myself or with the help of a small outside company. But boy,did that cost us time and therefore money and still there are drawbacks and things that will not work as smoothly as they did on windows. I am thankfully able to do that - as I have no external venture capital I have to answer to, have staff that is very tech literate (especially considering that none has an IT background),willing to learn and don't need software too much that requires windows. (Well,some, e.g. occasionally CAD)
But would I ever recommend that to anyone? Nope. Definitely not.
Which pains me to say.
Yeah. It basically can only do guest and non guest, sadly. There used to be a hack allowing proper VLANs,but that's long gone.
Whenever you need the ZFS features. I did need them and had no issues so far that were unexpected.
I use Orca,but within a Linuxserver.io container. Which has the advantage that you can use it from a tablet,etc. as well.
Person doing the hiring(formerly as a manager,now as an owner) here: At least in my legislation I literally can't without facing a legal risk that is beyond worth taking. Which sucks big time.
In my last job where I was responsible for hiring people there was a strict "do not reply to people asking why if they ask you by mail and use one of these four sentences when they call you - or get fired" policy after people used these explanations to sue multiple times. The company won every time,but these kind of lawsuits are fucking expensive and time consuming.
And there are a shitton of people trying to gain a reason to sue,sadly. I had people apply to jobs they didn't even have the legal requirements to work in (think as in "Neurosurgeon needed!" and your untrained custodian applies) and they then tried to frame you that they weren't hired because of a protected class attribute.
Tbh, I only circumvented that rule once, when a very young candidate for a prestigious trainee position got the best score in our assessment centre we ever had. Only to be bested by two other candidates a day later. And I only had two spots. So...I made sure they knew that and made them reapply for the next scheduled opening and "parked" them at a partner company in the meantime so they were cared for financially (allowed them to even make a little "extra" as the traineeship didn't pay that well in the beginning).
It's a totally fucked up situation where a few grifters ruin it for everybody and (and this is as bad) also give equal opportunity laws a reason. We need changes in legislation that allow giving people useful reasons why they weren't hired without risking lawsuits.
