Please elaborate,

The software looks ok, will install. UI looks like spoolman, no bs, just works. I like it.

But; what's with the label printer? Creating qr with a url to the inventory system looks handy.

I always have to dig thru gmail for order confirmations when I want to know where stuff was bought. This looks like a great solution for a first world problem.

BOFH666 ,

Thanks for the answer!

Just bought a phomemo, looks like smart folks created a cups driver for it. (Ab)using dnsmasq and nginx is clever, will keep that in mind.

Perhaps not relevant in your case, but if you print qr, the caps of your links also affect the amount of data in the code:

Setting up Forgejo is not complicated, but of course this varies per person.

The 3D view is a nice gimmick, having a stable and secure VCS is more important to me.

BOFH666 ,

No experience with Gitea, expect it to be as stable as can be.

But... Forgejo is a fork, got some nice improvements and is and will be opensource. Gitea is 'for profit '

How to keep track of system temps and hardware health indicators via dashboard with a proxmox installation?

Recently I added a new HDD to my proxmox system, and I started to realize the HDD was running warm. Was thinking for a second, and having a dashboard with temps and general hardware health would be useful for the server, but I do not find a solution from within proxmox to do this. ...

BOFH666 ,

Install snmpd on your proxmox host and use observium (running elsewhere) ?

BOFH666 ,

Compiling..

Or you can be a happy user, as it is using semver since version 2.0.0

If you fancy a nice webbased interface, Forgejo.
Git bare with cgit is an option of course, but running the single application for Forgejo will you lots of fun.

Replace cgit with Forgejo. I really like the software from Jason, but Forgejo is a huge difference

Slicer software for a Linux system?

For those of you running your printers from a Linux PC, what slicer software works for you? I switched from Windows to Kubuntu about 6 weeks ago. Had been using Orca for about 2 years, but the Linux version doesn't fully function for me. The build plate preview and functions are just a blank page. Trying to link a 3d printer ...

Still releasing new versions and active on discord.

Left Reddit, won't ever go back. Lemmy still needs more traction, but at least it is not as toxic and influenced by corporate greed.

Anyone here, running Forgejo and runners in k8s?

Forgejo is not the biggest issue, but getting proper feedback from subprocesses/runner into Forgejo is too complicated for me..

Great for small and large scale networks, add devices by entering ip and snmp credentials and all done.

Add alerting if that's your cup of tea.

I love mine. Always fire and forget printing.
My 2.4 has a chaotic lab tap, never any issues.

Printing with abs, petg and pla never fails. Quite a learning curve, but well worth it.

If you are not afraid to take it apart an reassemble, go for it.

BOFH666 ,

Getting to know all the minor tweaks, the ins and outs of your device.

Every Voron is unique, so digging up a yt to solve your issue is not going to help much.

BOFH666 ,

Mine does.

Probably most of the builds do.
But you got to keep in mind, every Voron is unique. It is not a 100-a-day from the factory kind of product.

Alrighty, old Linux user from the earliest of days.

It was fun, really great to have one-on-one with Linus when Lilo gave issues with the graphic card and the screen kept blank during booting.

It was new, few fellow students where interested, but the few that did, all have serious jobs in IT right know.

Probably the mindset and the drive to test out new stuff, combined with the power Linux gave.

BOFH666 ,

It is ridiculous fast and probably not really smart.

But, the fact that we (Europe) have labels for the maximum speed a tire is approved for even till 300kmh, does indicate it is not abnormal.

As others already mentioned, above a certain speed, in case of an accident, you will be held more accountable.

But folks with BMW, Audi, Porsches etc. do drive serious cars. Going faster than 250 is not an issue with most of the models. The biggest challenge is to slow down from these speeds in a controlled way.

BOFH666 OP ,

The point here is:

  • not all functionality is available as-is. You need to install a cloud connected app.
  • a cloud connection is not per se one direction. It is more than possible, the people operating this cloud (for Bosch) have the means (read: api) to connect back into your network via the hardware.

You might take a good look at this work.

As long as the firmware of the dishwasher isn't audited by third parties (or even better: open source), who knows what it is able to do in your network?

And all of this is not necessary, before the cloud, dishwashers worked fine too.

BOFH666 OP ,

Oh! The IOT toaster, perhaps a really good analogy!
That was a good read and fitting for this situation.

When was it published? 2019/2020 ?? Well, took just 5 years for the corporate greed to get on par.

BOFH666 OP ,

I couldn't agree more with your stand about the need for devices to be smart.

It is all about data-mining and advertising.

Maybe this is just me (or wishful thinking), but I do notice more people being cautious about stuff that needs a cloud connection.

People around me create dummy accounts to register Android enabled televisions, prefer stuff by eufy over ring etc.

Maybe we -as a bunch of uncontrollable nerds- should educate people more or at least share stuff like the wiki by Louis.

People need to know, they are the product..

Docker host running immich amongst other containers. Backups are done nightly to a nas device on location, the immich container has a volume mount to an external SSD.

Fire: nah, won't survive it. Planning to fix this in the next few weeks, setting up a Nas on a remote location.

Just for support purchased the '"license"', entire household moved from Google photos to immich. All using wireguard with the 'include these applications' option. Gave them access to jellyfin and satellite receiver too, so they are very happy to keep it up and running. No complaints, immich works great.

No.

Your brain has to process stuff. And it is at it's best when you are sleeping. Having your kids sleep in is beneficial for developing their brains.

Society might think you are lazy, but instead your brain is processing new thoughts and information.

Getting exhausted is not ok for a normal sleep pattern. Don't overdo it.

If it is too cold for the equipment, it is too cold for me.

This error is a nice indication for me that I need to turn up the diesel heater before starting the voron.

Thanks for all the hard work, delivering a great piece of software!

Immich server key purchased a few weeks ago, was the least I could do.

Using the go application to import the Google takeout zip file is a really good way to improve the WAF.

Thanks!

It is a donation. You will get a license key and when applied to your instance, it will report you are a supporter in the web interface.

For me it was a means to show some support.

BOFH666 ,

I totally agree with you, the wording could be more clear.

Reading this: we have enabled a way for you to financially support the continued development of Immich, ensuring the software can move forward and will be maintained, by offering a lifetime license of the software

Was enough for me to order a server license (..).
I like the software and being a professional developer I totally understand you might need funds to do the job.

So this is just my €0.02 to keep the flow from caffeine to code flowing..

Hell yeah! Of course, best Christmas movie ever. Multicasting it over the corporate network since last Monday and won't kill the process before 2025!

now i've got a machine gun ho ho ho!

Yes, as an alternative to klipper -this really is your end goal - use the firmware by mriscoc, it is really nice and robust.

Gives you more options and the results are better than the stock fw.

Can't he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great..

BOFH666 ,

Every single application or popup window will always attempt to get the highest z-order and switch keyboard input focus from wherever you were working to this window.

More than once, this resulted in input into the wrong window, causing problems.

And running this piece of junk os in a triple monitor setup; why do new windows (mainly outlook related) open on a different monitor ? If my input is on monitor 2, why are new windows opened on monitor 1 or 2?

A straight forward install of a recent Ubuntu version is much friendly for the user. But, as stated by someone else, improving the product is not gaining any cash flow.

BOFH666 ,

Blink the window-title and in case something like a taskbar is used, use the application icon to get attention.

But don't act like you are the most important and single application on the system. Be modest.

Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

My sister had a weird problem with Win 10 and needed me to format her notebook, a perfect opportunity to convert another soul. So I suggested installing Linux so she could try it out, she was hesitant but when I showed her some prints of Zorin OS and told her about KDE Connect she was much more inclined. ...

Did you uninstall cups and avahi?

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today..

Keep up the good work!

Does anyone else here have lupus? Just got diagnosed and I am really scared/upset

I got a diagnosis today after trying to figure out what's wrong with me for twenty years. My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I'm 27, and I am terrified I'm going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for ...

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don't compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Ender. Happened back in the days with a 3v2, the stepper drivers on the original mainboard overheat, causing it to 'miss' steps.

Replaced the MB with an improved version, tuned the vRef and never had any issues again.

You might look into tuning the vRef for your machine.
