It depends on the material and printer and the orientation of the hole. Vertical holes (or up to 20 degree from vertical if they’re angled) are the most accurate because you basically exploit the printer’s X and Y locating abilities. Horizontal holes will always end up ovalized because horizontally they’ll be correct, but vertically they can only have a dimension that’s a multiple of the layer height.

With the aforementioned Prusa Mk4 printer and PLA, all the vertical small holes I print usually end up under ±0.05mm / 0.002" from the desired diameter. If the dimension is very important (for example, holes for a pogo pin holder that needs to fit with interference, otherwise it would fall off) I’ll print it 0.1mm / 0.005" undersized and then I’ll ream the hole just enough to get the proper fit. It’s quick but not as quick as not reaming the hole obviously 🙂

Note that our printer is in a closed enclosure and that seems to make a difference for repeatability: if I leave the doors open, the diameter of the final hole varies a bit more. Nor a lot more but noticeably.

Thanks! 😊

Yeah I watched some Gutfeld. He does go through the motions but his jokes never really land. It’s kind of like having a conversation with an AI chatbot: it’s convincing to a degree but something is off and it’s nowhere near as enjoyable as talking to a real person.

Here’s an interesting video about Zuckerberg’s rebranding:

Why Zuckerberg’s Rebrand Shouldn’t Distract Us

Finally a real list that doesn’t include Dave Chapelle - whom I already knew and whom find extremely unfunny.

I do enjoy Bill Maher very much. I don’t always agree with him but at least he makes good points and he’s funny. If nothing else, I respect his ability to address points regardless of which side of the political divide they traditionally fall on.

I’ve watched Joe Rogan too - not for comedic value but to listen to some of his guests - and he sucks ass. I didn’t think he was trying to be funny, because he really isn’t. Buf if he is, it’s not working at all. He’s just a terrible Youtuber the same way countless other Youtubers are, just with a bigger audience, as far as I can tell.

I don’t know any of the others you mention. So I will gladly check them out now. Thanks!

Hmm… Touché.

the TikTok of the fediverse

Gee just what the Fediverse needed…

Not really. It would only require the new user on the new instance to be able to “own” posts and comments made by the old user on the old instance.

For example, the old user account could transfers its posting and commenting history to the new account (and the new account would be asked to accept the transfer of course).

When it’s done, whoever visits the new account, will see posts and comments made from the old account up until the transfer, and the old account’s posting and commenting history would be blank.

Then If the old account were to continue posting afterwards for some odd reason, it would build a new posting and commenting history from that point on. Or the transfer could become effective only after the old account is deleted permanently.

I don’t know exactly how any of this is implemented, but it would definitely not require monkeying with the actual past posts and comments.

It’s not reputation or being recognized, it’s having an unbroken record of posts and comments, for myself and for others checking out my profile. I want my old comments and posts ported to my new account and deleted from the old, so that whoever checks my new profile sees all I’ve posted with all my old accounts.

Or said another way, the only thing that should change when I migrate my account is the @server part of the name and nothing else. And it should be trivially easy to do too. To my knowledge, this is not possible at the moment.

I don’t think there is an account migration tool yet.

I am in the same boat: I want to move out of SDF but I can’t really because I want to keep the community I moderate and my account’s posting history. I mean I could certainly create a new account and pass the moderating rights from the old to the new, but I’d still be starting from scratch posting-history-wise.

So I’m holding off until account migration is finally a thing.

Not really. Only shaked my head in disbelief.

Have you ever seen a TikTok video? Why on Earth do we want that on the Fediverse? Not everything that exists deserves to be copied.

I’m a billionnaire too - in dongs - but nobody forks my repos…
But most of my repos have more stars and more watchers than this one.

That’s remarkable considering Linux is only 33 years old.

thats a lot of words for contributing for a single year, only half of which was ‘volunteer’

How long have you been contributing?

Two comments about this:

• It is my firm belief that 99% of the population of any country ruled by a dictator are the primary victims of that dictator, don’t condone what their rulers do, have done nothing wrong and are just trying to be good people in unfavorable circumstances.

  The Russians are no different and it isn’t fair to impose on Russian individuals of obvious good will the treatment governments apply to the Russian government, because the Russian government and the Russian people are two very different things.

• Linus said in this interview:

  I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

  and here I’m telling you this: Linus acts like a dipshit.

  I know the Finns very, VERY well, and while they’re generally great people, when it comes to Russia and Russians, they have epidermic reactions of totally unreasonable proportions.

  I understand where they’re coming from and why they react like that, but Russia is to the Finnish people what peanuts are to someone with a peanut allergy: the reaction is totally disproportionate and with zero nuances.

  Don’t ever try to argue with a Finn that a Russian person can be good, and that Putin is also their enemy: the Finn will shut down and stop talking to you - meaning, in their culture, that you can politely go fuck yourself.

  And that’s what we’re witnessing here with Linus: however many years he’s lived in California, he still hasn’t shed that part of his upbringing, and quite frankly, shame on him.

Well yeah, I look at All too, to make sure I’m not missing out on something interesting. But I must do that every month or so.

That escalated quickly

That’s too much credit to the poster.

I’d say it went down the sewer quickly, rather.

Ah right okay.

I only look at the ones I subscribed to myself. Different approach I guess.

Forgive me if I’m a bit of a thicky, but why is there a need to block communities? Doesn’t simply ignoring them work?
