  • hexbear.net comically loses its domain name

    Jump
  • This is amusing, but one guy from the crosspost raised a valid problem:If the hexbear domain fully dies, then all the idiots kept in containment by defederation will start jumping ship to other instances, and start causing trouble for users and moderators.

  • Yeah, and? They can suck on my left nut if they don't like my criticism.Besides, my family has been here since the start of the nation. Where are they going to deport me to, Plymouth rock?

  • Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.

  • Do keep the glass transition temperatures for your filaments in mind. 150°, or even 165°F may be fine for PETG, but PLA will soften at those temps. Also, check your local liquor stores for anything in the 95% range. Makes a great cleaner in general, and should take care of any unforeseen offgassed chemical deposit issues.

    Even though I expect any such volatiles to remain a gas and get shot out the exhaust, it's better to be safe.

  • Probably not, but the goal is the convenience of multi-purpose. I can dry a filament for an hour, then wipe down the inside, load the dried filament, and cook dinner while I print.

    Also banking on the air fryers capacity to blow larger volumes of hot air at the target temp, given that... Well, it's designed to mainly cook food. Some of the cheaper filament dryers just do not have enough airflow. Or any airflow.

  • I wonder if it would be more effective to drive traffic away from xitter by instead posting partial text, followed by a segment that says "continued on [insert other social media post] here".

  • There is a procedure for migrating profiles and posts to new instances, if the old instance is still up.

    And on the admin side, there's established time frames and grace periods for server closures. Barring a big disaster, you'll have time to move your stuff.

  • Translation: "No fair! We needed those guys un-pardoned so we can look busy on slow days!"

  • Might be worth grabbing a copy of 1.3 and seeing if you can force a downgrade, since 1.4 released earlier the same month. No idea how far back the premeditation goes on this.

    I'll be doing the same.

  • This.I got super unlucky here, and this news dropped literally the day after I bought an A1.

    I'm still going to try and force it into a usable no-internet state, but I don't have high hopes right now.

  • Is Loops ready for wide scale adoption and federation yet? We kinda need a replacement for tiktok, otherwise the addicts will jump to yet another Chinese platform.

  • Love to, I've been running Fedora on my laptop for ages. Unfortunately my gaming rig still needs windows for VR stuff. Pimax has yet to add Linux support.Either way, I've pirated a copy of LTSC. By the time that dies, I'll probably have replaced the Pimax with a Deckard headset.

  • 𝓪𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓮

  • "Oh boy, here I go killing CEOs again!"

  • I think there should be a handoff procedure, or whatever you want to call it.

    As EOL approaches, work with whatever open router OS maker is available (currently OpenWRT) to make sure it's supported, and configs migrate over nicely. Then drop one last update, designed to do a full OS replacement.

    Boom, handoff complete.

  • How many senators or house members do we need to lobby to stop this?

    More importantly, how do I get into a position to even begin attempting to lobby them?

  • Oh no, I accidentally put paint in a super soaker and it squirted upwards on the camera! Silly me, I'm such a klutz!

  • That's odd, I'm surprised Rossman didn't upload it to that app store. Well, in the meantime you can get it directly from https://grayjay.app/. Should also be the first result in google, if you want to search yourself instead of trusting a randomly provided link.
