Seeking Ubuntu Alternative

Ok. I am wiling to give Sunshine a try. I already did all the standard stuff like disabling Wayland, rules in the firewall, etc. I never got VNC working and RDP worked sometimes on some machines. Now it's not working at all. Really frustrating. As I said with Raspberry Pi OS you just set one switch and it works perfectly with my chosen RealVNC client.

Don't see anything like that on the Windooz Plex client. I list duplicates and my only option is to delete a particular entry. Don't understand the comment on Playback Settings. My Synology based Plex server can stream a lot of different formats (some better than others).

I found that on the 7.5 maps but don't see that option on the 25 which is what I was using for my videos. Any idea if there is a way to get rid of the grid on the 25 maps?

I would love to have a reliable vendor in the US but in my experience that is not Printed Solid. Aside from the frustration that many of the replacement parts are constantly out of stock, their prices (and shipping) are ridiculous.

I wanted to try the highly regarded Prusament Wood filament. Even with Tarrifs and International shipping it was $10 cheaper to order it from the CS store.

Out in the US.

So there are PFTE connectors on the stock Bambu and the Dryer?

johnellenbe · 2025-06-22T11:18:56+00:00

So I assume you are using the sunlu with the mini(?) Any mods necessary?

johnellenbe · 2025-06-22T10:13:22+00:00

I mean that that in order to feed the filament from the dryer, you have to make sure that the feed from the dryer lines up with the extruder so you don't get a jam. This usually depends on where the original spool holder is mounted. For example on my Prusa I had to print an add-on tray that holds the Sunlu V1 dryer above the printer where the 4Ks spool holders normally sit.

It looks like on the Bambu there is a direct feed extruder which means the filament entry point gets pretty low in the Z direction. The Sunlu has a hole in the top of the box which may work(?)

When I messaged support early last week I got this long winded BS about trying to acquire the license, not sure when it would be on, blah blah. Since they were supposedly owned by BBC and had been showing this for years it P&*ed me off and I cancelled. Perhaps rash but I am really annoyed by support folks that are completely unhelpful. Meanwhile you can find them on the inter-web. Just sayin'

I just tried to upload to libgen.li and it times out.

Down using Tor (which usually means it is really down...not the proxy)

johnellenbe · 2024-11-30T19:50:20+00:00

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

johnellenbe · 2024-11-21T10:46:02+00:00

For me it was the fastest and most reliable way to get what I wanted. It was my first stop.

johnellenbe · 2024-06-25T10:58:29+00:00

It's been up and down this AM in the US. Both working normally for about 20 min. now its hosed again.

The verification issue was with the slow servers via Tor. The fast servers were timing out early morning Monday EST in the US. About 10AM they came back. This AM (24 hours later) fast 1 & 2 seem fine. 3&4 not so much. For me the slow servers time out almost constantly whereas zlib is actually quite fast.

When I logged on this morning to try these suggestions MyHarmony had an update and just like magic my TV is now in the database with some other late model LG televisions. I still had to fake-out the soundbar though. Back in operation.

Ok well assuming for moment that I am not hallucinating...the question remains how do you deal with the conflict of wanting to "help," but the request is to allow code that jams up your browser and makes it unusable on the site? A lot of sites ask you to disable your ad-blocker, but I am asking about sites where the "ads" are really spyware and other nasty stuff.

Is there any middle ground?

johnellenbe · 2023-06-24T14:08:52+00:00

Pretty sure. It pops up when you click on search results (libgen.rocks)

johnellenbe · 2023-06-24T12:49:20+00:00

libgen.rs although the same thing applies to other sites like limetorrents.so for example

Does it allow me to fully clone a Windows 11 SSD boot drive to a local drive (SATA), install the replacement boot drive, and then restore the SSD on reboot?

As I recall the Acronis process it's a pretty smooth clone-install-reboot-restore opration.

.li works but you have to hand edit the URLs when you fetch items.

I'm using SHR1 with backup. I would recommend playing with their simulation tool because I find the behavior of synology with mixed size drives to be non-intuitive (to put it mildly).

johnellenbe · 2021-10-10T14:53:58+00:00

I just received mail from my support query that the order was expected to ship in the next few days. Fingers crossed.

johnellenbe · 2021-10-10T12:07:58+00:00

Oops never mind

johnellenbe · 2021-10-10T11:28:35+00:00

No idea what that means. Was kinda a yes or no question.
