Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?
  • May not add security in and of itself, but it certainly adds the ability to have a little extra security. Put your reverse proxy in a DMZ, so that only it is directly facing the intergoogles. Use firewall to only expose certain ports and destinations exposed to your origins. Install a single wildcard cert and easily cover any subdomains you set up. There's even nginx configuration files out there that will block URL's based on regex pattern matches for suspicious strings. All of this (probably a lot more I'm missing) adds some level of layered security.

  • Llama-FS Self-Organizing File Manager
  • I definitely would lean into your camp for sure. The demo video shows it previewing suggested renames before accepting, but I see your point and I definitely had the same initial reaction lol

    Hadn't seen this here yet, a co-worker of mine sent it my way so I'm just spreading the word. Looks interesting, to say the least! Anyone tried this out or had any other experience with it yet?

    What causes this on PLA? Too little cooling? Or possibly too much??
  • Good question! I probably could try drying this filament again, just for kicks...I did dry it not too long ago but it's probably been long enough that it couldn't hurt. But yes I've seen this issue with virtually every PLA filament I've used when the factors I mentioned are all true.

    When this failure occurred, I was about 100 filament swaps in (it's a multicolor print) so faint evidence of the nozzle purging/eject/reload/etc process in the midst of powerful fans is at least initially what I had attributed that to.

  • Anyone know what the most likely culprit for this issue with PLA is?

    Anyone have any idea what might cause this sort of issue on PLA? I run into it frequently, but pretty much only when all of the following points are true:

    • the print has multiple parts, so the extruder spends a decent amount of time off of any given part (only one part from this print is pictured)
    • the affected part(s), like the picture above, have a relatively steep outward overhang, extending over the build plate
    • the outward overhang part is relatively narrow, as seen from a top view

    This is from a printer with a 4028 fan (i.e. pretty massive airflow, server type fan) so even the 35-45% (based on layer time) I have it currently set at is more than 100% with single/dual 5015's or etc.

    I guess my other option is to try supports, but this doesn't really seem like a situation where supports should be needed. Anyone ever had a similar problem and solved it without just turning the speed waaaayyyyyy down?

    Simple, checkmark based, multi-user tasks app suggestions?

    Anyone have any good suggestions for a simple, multi-user tasks App? I used Keep for a long while, and have been using Nextcloud for the past few years...but every Nextcloud upgrade lately it seems I hit new bugs and since I don't use Nextcloud for a while lot else I'm considering just parting ways with it.

    That all being said, requirements I'm looking for would be the following:

    • Easily accessible on iOS and Android (native app is a big plus)
    • Simple interface with basic checkmark boxes that you can check off and the task disappears to some sort of "completed" list. No fancy markdown/etc. needed
    • Ability to share certain 'lists' with other users, so my wife and I can see shared lists
    • A Web UI is another huge plus
    • Self hosted is big obviously, but at the end of the day I just want something simple and reliable

    If Nextcloud tasks is still among the better options I'll keep limping it along just figured I might as well see if anything new has popped up since I last went down this road. Thanks all!

    Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages | March 2024 Update - Support for Sub-Collections, Bulk Actions, API Keys and more... 🚀
  • Hey there! Love what you're doing with this project - it's super cool! I did want to ask a question though as I raised a GitHub issue a while back but received no response - is there any chance that the ability to automatically import .HTML bookmark backup files might be added in the future?

    My use case is that every night I have my Chrome bookmarks automatically exported to a folder on my NAS - and currently I use ArchiveBox to read that file and archive any newly added sites. While this works, ArchiveBox has at times been rather finicky for me at least over the years, and so I'd love a little cleaner and more functional alternative. I'm not sure if others would find value in this being an option, but just a thought!

  • In Indonesia, Women Pirate More Music and Movies Than Men
  • There was a study I read not too long ago that found the pre-movie anti piracy warning actually acted sort of reverse psychology on men, causing them to actually pirate more (as opposed to women). There have definitely been some gender-correlations in certain studies.

  • RIP my photos from 2017 and contacts from 2005
  • This. I made a similarly boneheaded mistake a few months back and lost a fair amount of stuff. Thankfully 95+% of it was ancient program files and such that gave me a good excuse to go through and make some much needed cleanup actually happen for once.

  • CNC Kitchen’s website
  • Idk what your connection looks like, but I have to agree that site feels insanely fast. Everything other than the store page click-to-full-load for me was probably ~1/3 of a second. Even the store page for me only took a second or so.

  • Second hand disks?
  • Make sure there is a warranty/decent return policy and test obviously as others have said...but I've bought more 3 and 4TB HGST drives than I care to admit and have very rarely had any issues. At the price you can find even larger TB sizes for I personally consider it worth the gamble for certain use cases.

  • Resetting Hue Bulbs
  • My Hue bulbs are the "original" (3rd gen I think) before Bluetooth was a thing...but I just walked through this whole exact same thing and I could not get them to reset with any number of power cycle routines.

    The only way I could get them to actually pair with my HA/Z2M was to manually add them to my old hub (long story why they weren't already in there), and then delete them.

    Yes, it was a pain. But it worked well and once I got the process down I just did 3-5 at a time and worked through them all. YMMV.

  • Wall control panels
  • Personally I purchased some cheap 10" Lenovo tabs for my new place. Haven't moved in quite yet, but some PoE to USB-C adapters and 3D printed wall mount cases outta get me out for ~$150/unit. Not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive. Should work well enough for what I need.

  • If you would start again, how would you do it?
  • I think you're on the right track considering those factors and others (integrations with HA is another big one for me). IMO it's always a balance though - a perfect example for me personally is I still use Nest Protect devices because they just freaking work, and work well. Same with a smart display I have and some minimal smart speaker usage. So sure, there's a little bit of "lock in" there, but as long as your risk tolerance is ok with that (mine is) then you're golden.

    The factors you mentioned, among others like HA integrations (preferably official), company reputation (I'm personally ok with some minimal lock in if the cost/benefit calculation works out), etc. are my first considerations when looking at new products. Wherever possible local first control is a great plus and can be an absolutely huge factor to be sure.
