MoCA is a way to send wired Ethernet up to (300mb/s, at least the version i have) over coax. Verizon fios would provide these devices to send internet to set top boxes over existing coax cabling, but you can get a pair of these devices and send Ethernet in on one side, and Ethernet out the other side.

I have noticed however, it adds a bit of latency to the connection, which may be trouble.

Depending on your use cases and apps, file locking can be problematic when sharing across SMB and NFS simultaneously, their locking semantics are slightly different

I think it’s not widely front-and-center because it’s kinda fiddly, especially with folks with customized printers and there are caveats that can damage the machine or ruin the print if you are not careful. Sadly, I think that some of the more ‘closed’ slicer/printer systems could support it more reliably because the dimensions of the head + arm are much better known and the tool path can be planned much more precisely.

Like I mentioned, I have the most experience with Prusa + my Ender3 ( w/ a RPi3/Kilpper & mainsail; and a crtouch sensor) . I’d wager that other slicers could do this too, but I"m not sure of their setup.

Keep in mind that if you slice multiple parts to be printed at a time, then a failure on one part means the whole batch is potentially compromised.

I have the most experience with PrusaSlicer, and have used the multiple part one at a time option to print multiple parts at once. You have to tell it the dimensions of your extruded head, so it doesn’t crash the part , and if you have a bed slinger, you have to be careful of your x axis bar (ie, order it so it starts at the front if the bed and works it way to the back)

With mainsail and klipper, you can cancel one failed part mid print and keep going on the rest of the parts.

TacticalRMM is very comprehensive, self hosted, but more geared towards organizations managing a fleet of machines.

It’s not the Muslims, it’s the evil Christians. Same problem, but different names.

The Germans have Russians. :-/

In fact, it can be better: having root means you can arrange additional ‘firewalls’ between apps and your data , or omit/falsify sensor data the the banking app should not need, that the Google is unwilling to implement.

https://pairdrop.net is FOSS, cross platform, realtime, peer-to-peer, and only needs a browser. You can host your own version if you prefer. In contrast, Firefox Send (also FOSS) was ‘asynchronous’ (you could upload, and then email a link), but it was shut down due to abuse. https://github.com/timvisee/send is a fork of the archived github project that you can self host with many improvements, notably authentication, so only yourself and trusted users can upload. (edit: wrong link for ff send)

I wish I knew, but the ad industry LOVES this tech: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=smart+tv+ACR&t=ffab&ia=web Every other result is “How ACR is going to be awesome for advertisers/marketers”. the ones in between are “How to shut off ACR” :-/

No.

Smart TV’s run automatic content detection on all their inputs. You will also be nagged to put the device online relentlessly, and some models will not let you skip internet connectivity.

I see this said every time this comes up.

Are there any efforts starting or even attempting this? Or even taking an existing printer and replacing it’s main board?

These hips don’t lie

IMAP on O365 now requires “Modern Auth”, which requires OAuth to authenticate access to mailboxes. Anything that connects via IMAP will need to be approved by the admins at this point (Including Thunderbird). Without the cooperation of your organization’s IT team, you are not going to get far.

Linux. (ducks)

You can lose your Google account in the blink of an eye with no recourse, no access to support or anything.

With local and my own backups, I can choose to put them at any location, cloud or local.

I worry too – if this gets any significant uptake, what’s stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having “their” content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.

Could be too much pressure – double check your z-offset/leveling? I had it so bad, and didn’t realize it, … and wore out the original brass gear :(. The nozzle was pushed right up against the bed, so it was trying so hard to push out filament that wasn’t going anywhere.

Oh, I know that happened. But that’s just one little bit. The other items I mentioned will have far more broad, devastating and lasting effects.

The Local PD should have handled cases like that, to protect lawful voters. But I wager that the Local PD was already there, just in the wrong uniform.
