  • Thank you for the thorough response!

    It's unfortunate that the design compromises result in a tool with limited usability. I'm slightly interested in the desktop mills and lasers but haven't done much research on them. Your comment about printing being slow actually perked my ears up as that suggests increased rigidity needed for milling. It sounds like if I ever do decide to get a tiny mill or laser, I'm better off with a purpose built machine.

    As for software, G-code for a specific machine is all about the post at the professional level. Unfortunately, pro-grade CAM is around $20k a seat. A good post is often $4k or a lot of time painfully producing and testing it yourself. CAM/CAD is the only thing keeping me from Linux at work and on my primary home PC. I wasn't impressed with the 1.0 release of FreeCAD. The UI still seems to be designed by aliens.

    (Lemmy weirdness: I only received notification of your response last night.)

  • Could you please give your thoughts on its milling and laser capabilities? Do you own the 4th axis rotary?

  • Iran Disrupts US Critical Infrastructure Via Exposed PLCs

  • I've not worked with infrastructure PLCs but have some familiarity with industrial PLCs.

    The mode switch probably actually is an effective countermeasure. It's common to leave machinery in Setup Mode all the time as you can't change the program or parameters in Run Mode. I.E. you usually trust your crew not poke buttons they shouldn't. Only in large factories do you find Run Mode being used, even large shops often leaves it in Setup.

    As to gateways and firewalls, the amount of machinery exposed rawdog to the entire interwebs is truly frightening. A lot of industrial equipment have exposed ports that are completely unsecured. Think RS-232 style comms that allow program and even parameter editing.

    I would imagine that many sewage trearment facilities are even less technologically sophisticated than a medium size machine shop.

    Also, Datura is a common weed. Collect a bunch of seeds and share with your friends so y'all can all trip for days and not even know it. The kidney failure can kind of suck.

  • You can often fix membrane switches using conductive paint. Link to example. $11.

    The PCB will have a pattern of traces under each button that are interlocked kind of like fingers that don't touch or two large pads near each other. The button of the membrane has a conductive patch that completes the circuit between those traces when pressed.

    Usually the conductive patch is what fails due to wearing off. So you just paint on new patches on the memnrane. If the traces are worn, they can also be repaired with copper foil, solder, and careful work with an exacto knife. I've even seen aluminum foil and super glue used as a temporary fix on the membrane.

    I would probably make this a an Old Man and the Sea project if it were mine. It's just so old, it needs to keep going.

  • Those are good security guides.

    I think I'm at the point where it's more about keeping my head down. Protect my family and people. Hope we don't end up in a camp.

    Until one of these occurs, nothing changes: some real national leadership opposing this, more than 5% start going hungry, or large numbers of people are being murdered/placed in camps.

  • It seems you've thought deeply about this. I've done so as well.

    It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it's so similar that it's obviously just borrowed. It's shocking that more people don't see it for what it transparently is.

    I have no clue what can be done about it. I don't know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.

    You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren't deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?

    Genuine questions because I ain't got a fucking clue at this point.

  • Yes, not at all uncommon in the BDSM community. Neither are 24/7 kink relationships. However, reality is different from fantasy and there is a fair amount of nuance in how this works in the context of a LTR and not a fun weekend.

  • That's what I was referring to about very few handguns. It was all wood stock rifles and shotguns. And, this was among conservative rural types. We're in a very different place now.

  • War. War never changes.

    Jump

  • Deep south born and raised, it's changed in the last twenty years, but guns used to be a fun tool. Most people owned long guns with much fewer handguns. Guns were for hunting, varmint management, and plinking. City folk don't really get it. Shotgun in the corner of the living room is normal.

    I have an acquaintance from West Virginia that is similar. They're also a non-binary, super queer, sexually sadistic top. We met in the BDSM community.

    Can't find it, but there was an interview where someone talked about poking their meninges with a metal rod and having a 'spiritual experience' or something. Also, bong rips feeling bubbly in the skull hole.
