I looked into this a while back and gave up.

I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.

But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.

I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.

If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.

Episode III: somehow Anakin jumped straight to child murdering evil. Twice that we know of.

Episode VI: somehow ewoks were the lynchpin to take down the whole fucking Empire.

Episode IX: somehow Palpatine returned!

Yep, checks out.

I don’t think poop jokes resonate very well on any of the Lemmy communities I’ve seen.

Also, if you’re accidentally pooping your pants so hard that it falls down your pant leg and onto the floor, you may want to consider getting a medical opinion or at least doing some pelvic floor exercises. That’s concerning.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.

Yup. I was using self checkout once and it flagged me when I was trying to pay but didn’t say why. The supervisor was on top of it and unlocked the terminal and it made him watch a 5 second video of “suspicious activity”, which was me moving my reusable bag to the other side at a low angle. Some AI they use saw that as trying to sneak an unscanned product past the scanner.

I thought it was terribly clever but he just rolled his eyes and apologized for the inconvenience. As if an underpaid Walmart employee is going to waste their time arguing with a shoplifter.

Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!

My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

You need to run it with sudo, duh.

You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.

That advice on the wiki seems to be focused on users who don’t know anything about docker and running with some defaults that might not be ideal.

You can run Sonarr just fine in Portainer. It’s just a wrapper around plain old docker anyway. And if you want to use docker compose, you can still do that in Portainer. I think they call them Stacks in Portainer.

Portainer is just a GUI front end for Docker. If you like it, stick with it. I used it until I moved to Unraid and had zero issues.

What about Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html

It supports Gantt charts and has a pretty nice language for modifying chart content once you get used to it.

I use Obsidian with the Mermaid plugin for offline work, but there are tons of good web-based options out there, too.

No it’s not.

I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.

Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!

I have one. It’s a fucking lie.

I don’t pirate software anymore. If I do the math on how much enjoyment I get even from a mediocre AAA game title, it is dwarfed by what I’d spend on a night out, so the value is there for me. On top of that the risk of malware (or the effort in mitigating it) isn’t really worth it.

Tv and movies? Pirate it. The streaming services are garbage and the content has too much crap for me to want to pay a corporation for it. If it became too hard to pirate I just wouldn’t watch it anymore.

Books kind of fall in the middle. Happy to pay for ebooks if the author makes it practical, but I’m not keen on buying through Amazon.

It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.

Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.

If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.

I absolutely adored a low budget game called Firewatch. It’s first person and your only contact with another human is through a radio. You’re running away from your life and work for a summer in a fire watch tower in a national park.

The story is nice and the characters are interesting and flawed and relatable.

Buy it on sale and have a fun evening or two with it.

It’s simple, but it ain’t easy.

You can’t even see what brand the fridge is! What a stupid captcha.

If it’s a Samsung it’s definitely the one with the shortest lifespan.

I thought about hypothetically confirming that Usenet indexers have this show right up to the latest episode.
