  • It's funny if you know that it is parody, but it's so widespead in this day and ago so I tend to unconsciously filter it out. Tbh I probably wouldn't have clicked the link if I hadn't seen your comment, since I thought this was the original title of the video

  • Washington wants your 3D printer to spy on you - here's the bill

    Jump

  • I think you missed the part where it said "[...] cannot be overridden or otherwise defeated by a user with significant technical skill." I.e. either the printer will only allow flashing with signed firmware containing the detection algorithms, or it would have to be done by a separate chip which isn't affected by flashing firmwares.

    But also detecting firearms in gcode is a ridiculously complex task, and if companies actually try to comply they might opt for building the algorithms into their closed source slicer instead, and then only allowing their printer to print encrypted/signed gcode. Or they might do the analysis using some AI algorithm on their cloud servers, requiring an always on internet connection to print things. It might be tempting to think that nobody would buy a printer like that, but I think that enough people will do if they make it convenient and cheap enough.

  • Washington wants your 3D printer to spy on you - here's the bill

    Jump

  • For a printer to be compliant, it mustn't be possible to bypass the restrictions. So your printer might not even be legal if it allows you to flash custom firmware.

    identify and reject print requests for firearms or illegal firearm parts with a high degree of reliability and cannot be overridden or otherwise defeated by a user with significant technical skill.

  • Why don't more distros use this method?

    Jump

  • I think a new Linux user shouldn't have to choose a DE, so starting with a distro which makes this choice for them is most likely better. Unless the CachyOS installer does a good job at explaining what a desktop environment is, there's a risk that a new user thinks they're just selecting a skin for the OS and don't understand how it will affect their desktop experience. If they for example choose an extreme light weight DE for their brand new gaming PC, their first impression of Linux might be that it looks dated.

    Having a DE chooser built into more distro installers could be a good thing for us more experienced users though.

  • What does the bed mesh in Fluidd show? My prints are good, nothing to complain about, but I see the bed mesh doesn't look so good.

    Jump

  • It's also only the 50mm closest to X-axis 0 (left edge of bed I guess) that have significantly higher values, the rest of the bed is fairly even. Depending on what models OP has printed, they might not even be using this part of the print area.

  • Self hosted Kanban board with good mobile support

    Jump

  • If you don't find any hostable service, perhaps you could try Obsidian if its Kanban plugin works well in the mobile client. It's closed source, but all data is stored in markdown files, and you could use a self-hosted git server for storage and synchronization between users.

  • Offline TTS in 2026?

  • What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

    Jump

  • These aliases for zsh I use all the time. It's part of the prezto configuration framework.

     bash
        
setopt AUTO_CD              # Auto changes to a directory without typing cd.
setopt AUTO_PUSHD           # Push the old directory onto the stack on cd.
setopt PUSHD_IGNORE_DUPS    # Do not store duplicates in the stack.
setopt PUSHD_SILENT         # Do not print the directory stack after pushd or popd.
setopt PUSHD_TO_HOME        # Push to home directory when no argument is given.

alias d='dirs -v'
for index ({1..9}) alias "$index"="cd +${index}"; unset index

    Type d and enter to list all the directories you've recently been in, then type the number at the start of the line followed by enter to immediately cd there.

    Not sure if latest bash can do it the same thing, but some years ago I wrote a script to implement it there too. IIRC it might've been the automatic removal of duplicates in dir history that was missing.

  • Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?

    Jump

  • Current workplace: Windows computers with all development being done in Linux VMs. Management and a few younger devs are pushing for WSL, while several older devs are demanding Linux-only laptops.

    Previous workplaces: One more with Windows + Linux VMs. One with Windows + X remote desktop to development servers. One with Linux PCs.

    I have been exclusively applying for jobs that promised Linux development though.

  • GPU prices are coming to earth just as RAM costs shoot into the stratosphere - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • I just wanted to test if it was viable to run larger MoE LLMs on CPU, e.g. Qwen3-next-80B-A3B.. Even if I got acceptable generation speeds I'd probably get bored with it after a few hours, as with other local models. Had I got it for €700 it was pretty low value for money anyway, since my current RAM is enough for everything else I use the computer for. On the positive side, I can put that money towards a Steam Frame instead.

  • GPU prices are coming to earth just as RAM costs shoot into the stratosphere - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • ... I was thinking about buying a 96GB DDR5 kit from the local computer store a few weeks ago, but wasn't sure it was actually worth €700. Checked again now and the exact same product costs €1500. I guess that settles it, 32GB will have to be enough for the next couple of years then.

  • 780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks

    Jump

  • IIRC their web site used to make it sound like it was a paid product but it was always possible to get it for free. Can't remember the exact details, perhaps something similar to those "name your price" softwares that have a pre-filled recommended value but it's also possible to choose €0? I checked what it looks like nowadays and the Pro version does come up first if you go to downloads, and then there's a free Core version below it.

  • My 8gb vram system as i try to load GLM-4.6-Q0.00001_XXXS.gguf:

    Jump

  • Ah, multiple GPUs? For some reason I thought you meant that with exllamav3 you had managed to load a model which was larger than your VRAM.

  • My 8gb vram system as i try to load GLM-4.6-Q0.00001_XXXS.gguf:

    Jump

  • I guess there's some automatic vram paging going on. How many tokens per second do you get while generating?

  • Fedora 43 Is Not Ready for Release Next Week

    Jump

  • Had several issues when upgrading to 41, so I only upgraded to 42 a month or two ago in order to give them time to iron out the bugs first..

  • removed a homeplug

    Jump

  • Still are, but I guess a lot of people don't know much about them

  • Filament won't adhere?

    Jump

  • Filament not sticking to itself sounds pretty unusual.. Found this review on youtube. The channel has 6 subscribers and I have no idea if it's legit or disguised marketing, but all the comments mention similar problems as yours. There's also this review, with more negative comments. One person says they managed to get good prints by raising the print temp even more, but don't do that if you have a PTFE lined hotend. I.e. only try higher temps if you know for sure that you have an all metal hotend.

  • Gaming on Linux, -

    Jump

  • I'm not up to date on hardware, so I'll refrain from recommending specific components. I went with AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia GPU (using closed source driver) last time I upgraded my PC and it usually works fine, though I know many recommend AMD GPUs nowadays for Linux. If €1000 is your total budget, it might be worth considering a second hand GPU. For example a used RTX 3080 goes for around €300 and they are still quite capable, though someone else will have to say if that's enough for the flight sims.

    One thing you might want to look up is if the game uses hardware raytracing, and if that works on Linux. Out of the games I play, World of Warships looks worse for me than what I see on youtube, despite that I have set all graphics settings to max. Maybe it's possible to fix by configuring Wine/Proton/DXVK etc. I haven't really looked into it, but just so you're aware of potential issues.

    I used this list for help when choosing a power supply, but I think that becomes more important if you buy a high end GPU.

    I use Steam for almost all my gaming, and it makes running (most) Windows games a breeze.

    How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?

    Jump

  • So far that has never happened because I'm not using that much storage :) But I shut it down when I need to turn off the mains electricity, and for powering it on afterwards the fake wall can be lifted off. It's just the area underneath the desk so the panel might be smaller than it sounds like, and it hangs on some hooks so it's fairly easy to remove if you know what you're doing. Painted in the same colour as the wall, and with some some random junk on the floor in front, it blends in quite well though. I think the risk of burglary is fairly low, so it's primarily to soothe my own paranoia.
