I’m a 3D printing wanna-be, not even an amateur. Have seen a few printers, helped assemble one long time ago, played with the software a little, though I have never actually printed anything myself yet. I decided to spend some saved money on a printer for myself....
I just ordered my first ever printer as well! Prusa mk4 here because i can write it off and it’ll live in the shop later on - my shop guy approved this choice. By all accounts Prusa is one of the best supported brands, which was appealing to me since I’ll have employees working with it as well.
Would love to know what you end up choosing and why, since I’ve just gone through the same process and likely will again in the future.
Keep us posted, and looking forward to spamming y’all with my stupid noob questions when it arrives!
Such a good feeling cancelling my paid tier on Dropbox this week. I’ve been ‘playing’ at self hosting for a few months, and now I’m confident in my infrastructure and processes so I can start turning off some of the cloud things I’ve been paying for....
Hey congrats! If you’re exploring, I’ve had great success with the free tiers on sync.com (cloud storage) and notion (notes). I also have the iOS sad re:syncthing, which I use almost exclusively now.
If you want to try sync get yourself an invite from an existing user for free extra gigabytes. They’re a solid, sensible company and their free tier is more than enough for the few things I need handy on my phone.
I tried both notion and obsidian and for some reason notion just stuck for me. I like that I can share notes with coworkers. Ever note went down the tubes a few years ago, which was a drag.
Edit: reading that back I sound like a fucking shill. I do not get kickbacks lmao. Just wanted to share the programs that help when I can’t self-host.
documents I use regularly (contract worker so I’m constantly emailing the same things to accounting departments, etc)
current contracts / union constitution and bylaws / published standards / some tables of data I regularly reference for work / stuff I have to reference for workers
any “current projects” like a photo set for a project, plans and drawings, documents and literature for a vacation, etc.
study materials if I’m going for any certifications, so my waiting in line time can be reading up instead of candy crush or whatever
Since my mobile is all ios and I otherwise use syncthing, I use sync.com for cloud storage basically for anything that I’ll want without having to get a laptop out.
I use Bitwarden for passwords and authy for 2fa so that’s all fine.
This also means I can zero a device and have access to this stuff once I load an app back up on the other side of a border, when that’s a necessary step. Not possible with syncthing.
That’s awesome, thanks for tip! I’m at 13GB and tbh it’s not worth 10GB for me to touch Twitter lol, but I’ll check out the other options.
Honestly I’m just happy to get the word out and support a cloud provider that isn’t (as far as I can tell) fking creepy. I like the company, I’m as confident as I can be in the security of the platform, and want people to develop stuff like that.
Yup. Quick books and our government website both require chrome. It’s like… The stuff I do that I most care about not giving to Google, I have to give to Google. Drag.
I suspect a large number of these incidents are due to the password field in the login page allowing fewer characters than the field in the sign up page, so the password gets truncated. A couple of help desk meat shields have confirmed that for me, but mostly I think this because it seems to fix itself if I use a shorter password.
How short, you ask? Who tf knows! They sure as shit won’t tell you! Just spend the next 20 minutes trying shit til it works, because you have nothing better to do with your time!
I own a Garmin Dash Cam, and one of the features is red light and speed cameras alerts, however this feature is hidden behind a subscription, the camera doesn’t require internet connection all the time, so theoretically the files could be reverse engineered.

Was this feature not a thing 3 years ago? I don’t know why it bothers me, but I wish they would add some banners for their more active communities. It makes it just a little bit more official looking....
But to answer why: a lot of us are on mobile and therefore don’t care or notice. No idea whether that’s the reason, but it might have something to do with it.
Goodwill is also … objectionable, to say the least. And many alternatives fund insidious “missionary” work or anti-choice women’s housing. Check your charities closely to make sure they align with your values, whatever they may be.

“It’s free!” Is alarming and inappropriately cheerful.
These sites are sociopathic data harvesters, and if your relatives have any sense they’ll give you shit for exposing them to it as well. If it’s free, it’s probably even worse.
Take your rudeness over to r/exmormon or have a chat with anyone who’s got personal security concerns (I mean, don’t actually because you seem like a bit of a dick).
You are 100% exposing your family. It’s great for you that you don’t care about them, but don’t pretend otherwise.
