  • I bet to Japanese people it’ll age weirdly with the references it kept making to politicians and actors of the time.

    I really enjoyed it when it wasn’t trying to be a shonen jump anime. My favourite episodes like the Nabe Shogun bottle episode, or the several lazy animator episodes either with the drawing quality rock bottom or the paralysis with no animation at all.

    I used to watch it on a service called something like animeftw or something that’s no longer around on an xbox xbmc setup. So much nostalgia when I see screen caps.








  • That would surely only power a single circuit (due to isolation) and if you have to be selective, a critical circuit like your fridge isn’t really likely to have a wall port on the same circuit near where you’d happily have your fume emitting generator…

    I’m no electrician but I’ve generally installed automatic transfer switches (ATS) for mine site server cabinets that then power UPS racks and the transfer switch automatically or manually can switch from mains to generator if mains power goes out (which at a mine is all the time). I feel like a similar and safe system must exist for homes. Or something no different to switching solar to grid and back.

    But again, not an electrician.





  • Glad you got it working, interesting if the slicer itself was the problem… When you’re loading a file to the printer on my elegoo I’ll be able to check the actual layer settings which is ultimately the key since that’s how long the lcd will light up and cure the resin.

    However supports and rafts are heavily influenced by the slicer so any issues there could be resolved by the slicer software.

    Otherwise your hygiene cleaning all sounds like good practice regardless both to remove variables and maintenance.

    Glad you got it sorted


  • One rich company trying to claim money off the other rich companies using its software. The ROI on enforcing these will come from only those that really should have afforded to pay and if they can’t, shouldn’t have built on the framework. Let them duke it out. I have zero empathy for either side.

    The hopeful other side is with a “budget” for the license, a company can consider using that to weigh up open source contributions and expertise. Allowing those projects to have experts who have income. Even if it’s only a few companies that then hire for that role of porting over, and contributing back to include needed features, more of that helps everyone.

    The same happens in security, there used to be no budget for it, it was a cost centre. But then insurance providers wouldn’t provide cyber insurance without meeting minimum standards (after they lost billions) and now companies suddenly have a budget. Security is thriving.

    When companies value something, because they need to weigh opportunity cost, they’ll find money.





  • Hold them all to account, no single points of failure. Make them all responsible.

    When talking about vscode especially, those users aren’t your mum and dad. They’re technology professionals or enthusiasts.

    With respect to vendors (Microsoft) for too long have they lived off an expectation that its always a end user or publisher responsibility, not theirs when they’re offering a brokering (store or whatever) service. They’ve tried using words like ‘custodian’ when they took the service to further detract from responsibility and fault.

    Vendors of routers and firewalls and other network connected IoT for the consumer space now are being legislatively enforced to start adhering to bare minimum responsible practices such as ‘push to change’ configuration updates and automated security firmware updates, of and the long awaited mandatory random password with reset on first configuration (no more admin/Admin).

    Is clear this burden will cost those providers. Good. Just like we should take a stance against polluters freely polluting, so too should we make providers take responsibility for reasonable security defaults instead of making the world less secure.

    That then makes it even more the users responsibility to be responsible for what they then do insecurely since security should be the default by design. Going outside of those bounds are at your own risk.

    Right now it’s a wild West, and telling what is and isn’t secure would be a roll of the dice since it’s just users telling users that they think it’s fine. Are you supposed to just trust a publisher? But what if they act in bad faith? That problem needs solving. Once an app/plugin/device has millions of people using it, it’s reputation is publicly seen as ok even if completely undeserved.

    Hmm rant over. I got a bit worked up.


  • Tailscale can act as a site to site vpn, but it’s best used as a meshvpn imo with as many things as possible in it.

    Why? Because the dynamic dns is so powerful. Every host name automatically is in every other tailscale joined computer automatically. My NAS (Truenas in my case) is just “nas” so to access it it’s just https://nas. Same with my rustdesk server on https://rustdesk. Jellyfin? You guessed it: https://jellyfin.

    Why is this cool? I moved my box between other networks and it just works again. No ips changed.

    I take it to work. It just works. I keep one server at my parents place? It just works.

    But my printer doesn’t have the ability to join the tailnet so I use subnet routing to create a node on that network to act as a NAT router to get to and from that printer.

    You can even define exit nodes so if I install tailscale on my parents TV in another state, they can exit their internet via my home which has my IP and therefore Netflix counts it as inside my residence.

    Anyway just some considerations. I generally use the subnet routing as a last resort. My 3 node proxmox cluster is all joined and if I took a node to my parents it would literally just work, if slower, as a cluster member. Crazy. Very cool
