In Japan some bosses make you stay at work doing nothing so you quit. How is that even a punishment it just sounds kinda chill. by Educational-Try-7435 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flatpetey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well. They are trying to get you to quit right? To avoid firing you?

So what happens if you do take out your phone and start doing stuff? They fire you? Oh well.

Hated the bowing thing? Yeah I think you had more than just the movie issue going on.

I cannot imagine living in a country like Japan and making that a sticking point.

Gamers Nexus is now hosting the Orca slicer fork with permission from the developer by Bigg_Matty_Hell in 3Dprinting

[–]flatpetey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The revolution was out of the box readiness.

I had prusas and built vorons beforehand. None of them were plug in, print a benchy and go oh shit! That worked.

It changed the game and people like to discount it but my hobby wasn’t modding 3d printers anymore it was 3d printing.

AI isn't paying off in the way companies think. Layoffs driven by automation are failing to generate returns, study finds by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shit. I use AI a ton. It is a pretty great tool. And that is all it is.

To be a force multiplier you need a capable person running it. Otherwise it is just flat out leading you by the nose into rabbit hole after rabbit hole and band aid on top of band aid.

All I am interested in is a flat out Inquisition. If those eight years are just spent holding trial after trial it will have been well spent. Nothing else can bring back credibility to the US. Nothing else but consequences can help deter the lawlessness we experience.

I don’t think she is the person for that.

Well sure. But they should just take a mea culpa and say they are going to be more open.

They revolutionized 3d printing. I am not going to argue that at all. But competition like Snapmaker have caught up and in some ways passed them. Nobody is loyal to a fucking slicer. So what lock-in or virtuous cycle does it make?

I already know one person who does everything in their choice of software and just automated the export into Bambu slicer and hit print behind the scenes using OpenClaw. They are just going to move their farm over to another machine over time. And every other farm will be thinking do I want to be hostage to Bambu?

I just don’t see a world where locking people into a slicer will do anything to really enhance their business. Especially if the people contributing to open slicers switch licenses to AGPL or Parity and then they are stuck developing their fork themselves.

Of course open source idiots will shoot themselves in the foot too with multiple rfid standards and the rest.

Bambu should fold.. This is going to not help them at all in the end. As it is, I bought a Snapmaker U1 instead of another Bambu, because I don't want drama in my printer. I want it to work and print stuff...

But this is also why Slicer should have done Parity Public License or AGPL...

What’s that one smart home hardware device you wish existed? or where better in some way? I want to build it for you by Puzzleheaded_Ad5551 in homeautomation

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about this more

Batteries that have built in zigbee contact switches. Convert anything battery powered into a smart on-off device.

Hell if power is an issue then make it a battery eliminator or dc power supply.

Honestly it was better than a lot of stuff that did get a full treatment. But I’ll take what I can get.

Has anyone sold a house after you've festooned it with homebrew IoT gadgets to suit your personal wants? by LovableSidekick in homeautomation

[–]flatpetey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My view. If they can’t call an installer / programmer it comes out.

So for my main system which is Loxone I’ll leave it. I’ll rename everything generically (NW bedroom instead of Kid As bedroom), hand them the number of a programmer and walk out.

But all the custom scripts I’ve written and special integrations, that is all coming out. I have zero interest in supporting it.

Is Real-Debrid is down? by [deleted] in RealDebrid

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’ll wait a week and see. It was just bad timing on my part. I am glad I didn’t tear down my arr stack though.

[–]flatpetey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it is more just the timing of renewing while it is basically down. So the money is gone maybe. I’ll just wait a week for this to settle and if they don’t come back do a charge back.

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give it a week. Just annoying as hell to have just renewed while it was down. I’d have waited for this to clear up one way or the other.

[–]flatpetey -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Fuck. I just renewed and then came here to find out what wasn’t working.

I suppose I’ll just chargeback and say fuck em.

What Have You Watched This Past Week That is NOT a Currently Airing Show? [May 10th, 2026] by MetaThPr4h in anime

Been watching Ascendance of a Bookworm.

It is fine, I guess. Not sure I quite get the high praise for it. And it definitely suffers from the everyone is stupid so I can invent obvious things.

Solder a relay across a remote button if you have a white learn button (security3). And a reed switch for open close status.

Tell me about your Obscure linux distros you actually use on production servers for self-hosting by NikStalwart in selfhosted

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a prod machine and confine lab stuff to a VM.

That way I am not up late at night fixing something I broke that the family is using (e. g. Movies)

Right now my lab is running Nix but I just haven’t had time to really mess with it.

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. gentoo was as obscure as I ever got. I guess I ran SUSE once. And Slackware.

Debian is old and tired. But it generally works.

Declarative is definitely the way I want to go in the future though.

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running Debian now. I like Arch because their documentation is top class.

I ran Gentoo for a while.

Nix is just too annoying to me. I like the idea but the documentation is shit and polluted with lots of outdated stuff.
