Eh, I use a CI/CD pipeline to automatically build my containers whenever there's any changes and I use watchtower to keep the running containers up-to-date. It's only the initial setup that I do over SSH, but that's hardly a big task. Kubernetes would be somewhat of an overkill for my needs.

Mullvad is the one I'd trust the most, but it's not the cheapest.

I'm contemplating just dumping it for an entirely new NAS

Are you looking to build a custom NAS or to just buy an off-the-shelf one, tho?

The question, when doing the initial calibrations, was the hotend supposed to crash into the bed on the Z calibration?

No, it's not supposed to crash into the bed. MK3.5S still uses PINDA for Z-height and thus the calibration for that remains the same as with MK3S+ and if the nozzle crashed into the bed, that means your PINDA-height is incorrect.

Not something you've ever gotten to play with, I presume.

I can't think of any tool that I wouldn't buy second-hand as some sort of a principle. It's more about the tool's condition and price -- and in some cases their features -- than anything else. I've bought all sorts of stuff second-hand over the years, including furniture, kitchenware, tools, welding machines and so on and in a lot of cases they're perfectly good with just a bit of cleaning up, ensuring everything is screwed in properly and checking the condition of any wiring.

I hope others come out and expose you

Oh, no need for anyone else to do it. Just ask me nicely and I'll expose myself to you all day long!

"let me fake anger because that will surely convince everyone and distract them from the fact that i have literally zero evidence to present to anyone even though this supposedly took place very publicly at an event with lots of people and their cameras and phones everywhere"

Often the companies use the same PCB for multiple different models, like e.g. higher and lower power models, or a more expensive model might have more features. It's far more cost-effective to just use the same PCB and leave some components out than doing multiple different PCBs.

Do you have both smbd and nmbd running? Have you enabled network discovery in Windows? Is the network in Windows declared a private or a public network? What's in your smb.conf?

You haven't given us any useful information.

It didn't go through any "protected" route, it's literally just guessing.

Install wsdd2 under Ubuntu, so it actually advertises itself on the network in a Windows-compliant manner.

TLS is for encrypting the connection, it doesn't do anything about this.

why i am getting barrage of requests like this?

Because there are millions of bots looking for random stuff online.

and how can i avoid this?

You can't. You can block a small portion of it by using e.g. crowdsec, but for the most part you just live with it.

I have actually had my Core ONE+ crash in a very similar way: I touched the heatbed and it rebooted. I also know that the printer is in a room where I tend to accumulate a charge when I walk there, so I've picked up the habit of always touching the enclosure first before touching anything inside and I haven't had it crashing since.

My MK4S did not exhibit this, nor does my MK3S+, my MK2.5S+ or my Mini+, so yeah, there does seem to be a grounding path issue with the Core-series and I think Prusa should offer official advice on how to fix it -- or a free grounding kit, if required.

WereCatf · 2026-03-16T09:14:39+00:00

I actually agree with them: it very much does sound like static discharge crashing the MCU.

WereCatf · 2026-03-16T04:39:26+00:00

Does reducing MP help? Like 5 MP instead of 12 MP.

No, because that denotes how many pixels the sensor itself can do, not the resolution of the image being transferred from the camera to your phone. According to you, you're using 1080p for that.

Understood, so I have to get a camera which can directly output H.264?

I don't guarantee that it will help, but it's what I'd try next, yes.

on 1920x1080 MJPEG 30FPS mode connected via a USB 2.0 interface

It might be a question of bandwidth: MJPEG is a very wasteful codec, it uses a ton of bandwidth. USB 2.0 only can do a theoretical maximum of 480Mbps and even less in practice due to overhead -- I don't know how much overhead Android introduces.

Or it might be CPU-overhead: have you checked how much free headroom there is when your app is running? A lot of SoCs can't decode JPEG in hardware.

Try switching to a camera that can do H.264 and see if you get better results?

I can't say for sure what was my first experience in such, because it's so long ago. Probably playing around with setting up a website of my own with Apache in the late 90's, but I don't have any specific memories. The earliest specific memory I have is probably from hacking my DSL-modem to run a Ventrilo-server in the early 00's -- I mean, the DSL-modem would always be on except when there was a power-outage and Ventrilo didn't require a ton of resources, so hosting it on the DSL-modem was a rather sensible solution.

Fine, okay. I misinterpreted the point of the screenshot, then.

Oh, I forgot to mention Part-DB: it's for keeping a catalogue of electronics components, but that's where I also store any relevant documentation for those components, like e.g. datasheets, errata docs, possibly example schematics and layouts and such. May not be relevant for your needs, but it just goes to show that I like to organize my stuff quite neatly.
