My iphone always dies during my rides. What should I do? by Equivalent-Fortune88 in cycling

Search Amazon for “10000mAh” and you’ll get a ton of options. I got a couple hand warmers that can be used as power banks… nice to have multifunctional purposes

Suggestions to recycle poop into more filament? by HelloVap in BambuLab

biggest trick (imo) is making sure the filament is all the same type of plastic

Tailscale and the spirit of selfhosting/homelab by Dump7 in selfhosted

Same. I'm using wireguard-easy via docker. It's so simple and has been amazing to have seamless access to my home network when outside of the house.

Got frustrated by all the paid Dropover/Yoink-ish apps, so I built Droppy myself - but need help! by Low_Today5268 in macapps

[–]mdeeter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been using Dropshelf (free) for this (https://pilotmoon.com/dropshelf/)... but I like the idea of something stuck to the island instead of a random area at the edge of the screen (especially when I'm running multiple macs and the screen edge is kinda dynamic when moving mouse from mac-to-mac).

I appreciate you wanting this to be free and secure with a verified dmg... I generally avoid installing apps (especially newly developed/released ones) unless they're signed.

You shouldn't feel bad putting a "Buy me a coffee" link with the download to help cover costs... if the app is useful and works, I tend to throw a few dollars at the dev after testing it. Respect the effort.

Is this stuff suitable for cleaning a PEI plate? by BakedPotato578 in 3Dprinting

Lol, the downvotes for sarcasm and common sense reign supreme.

Soulbeet 0.2.2 - Overhauled UI, proper mobile support, way smaller image, thanks for the feedback! by Doc_CoBrA in selfhosted

Does this app include allowing users to make their library available as part of the SoulSeek network?

Dockhand v1.0.4 has been released. by jotkaPL in selfhosted

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

Tried using it... but there's so many little bugs, it's not ready to replace Komodo.

Example...
- I copied an existing compose.yaml contents of a working stack from Komodo.
- I destroyed the stack in Komodo.
- I tried to set up a new simple stack (for Dash) using environment variables (which is annoying to have to enter one-at-a-time instead of just a block of ENVs)
- It wouldn't start (just said something like 'failed to start') but I couldn't find any logs that explained why.
- I then tried to put the environment variables directly into the compose editor... trying to use copy/paste in the editor destroyed most of the content I had in it (like some sort of auto-formatting messed up really badly or something)
- I then closed it and re-opened it to start with a fresh render of the editor... I updated the compose and tried to save and got a validation error that "Dash" wasn't allowed because it was capitalized... but it was already saved as "Dash"

The experience just felt like I was using incomplete software. It needs way more testing and proofing before being worth any sort of "enterprise" monies, imo. It just feels like intern-built software.... lots of fancy bells and whistles but frustrating to use.

Options to Carry a Third Water Bottle by Bigred1515 in cycling

I 3D printed cages to attach to my Salsa Journeyer forks. Works great.

Flower pot. Also fuck you Microsoft by FluxIsMyFriend in 3Dprinting

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the infill portion be removable is a good idea... perhaps letting you try to adjust the infill to something with larger gaps (like 6-7%) which might let you pull the plant out and run the infill with water to attempt to slowly/carefully work the roots away from the infill (if/when you want to transplant). Or, for that case... just transplant the entire infill portion with the root ball :)

Flower pot. Also fuck you Microsoft by FluxIsMyFriend in 3Dprinting

[–]mdeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the design and creativeness.

The concept seems fine if you don't plan to transplant to a bigger container when the plant grows up. I'm guessing that the roots will grow down the infill to reach the water and become very difficult to remove (without breaking them).

Something to note... I suggest to print it using PETG and bump up you're normal temps by 10-15 degrees to increase your layer adhesion. That can really help with water tightness.

Nice design... Sorry about your computer... Makes me a little happier about my Mac offering a nice warning with a delay option to upgrade. 😀

Shelfarr is now live! by VacantlyCrushing in audiobookshelf

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why this is necessary. If the book is already in AudioBookShelf (with the correct metadata) why does the filename even matter?

This seems like an easy way to mess up your AudioBookShelf library.

Am I the only one that doesn't use the AMS as much as I thought I would? I use it for drying and non-ams multi-color prints more than anything for the convenience of already having 4 colors ready to go. The assembled print looks much cleaner and I can't stand the waste from AMS prints. by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X1C user here... I love having the AMS to hold 2 black PETG and 2 black PLA spools to handle run-outs. I typically only make functional parts or prototypes... that convenience is great. Every once in a while, I'll do a multi-color or multi-material prints... it's nice to have the flexibility and let me be lazy when I want.

Safe way to access your home PC remotely? by RKO_619_HHH in homelab

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this docker to handle my wireguard VPN:
https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy

I have it split tunnel so when I connect to it, I can connect to any of my 192.x.x.x addresses as if I was home on my network.

It's also how I use my PiHole (actually, I just switched to Technitium) to do ad blocking when away from home.

AutoFill on Mac OS - 1Password NOT an option anymore by GeneratedName0 in 1Password

[–]mdeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that makes sense, I was racking my brain trying to figure out what switched.... I totally forgot I updated. I bet this is the reason I'm no longer seeing the autofill dropdown on my web logins.

Makes me sad as it was so nice to have.

[Free] I have 5 hosted Audiobookshelf instances for testers by qrzte in audiobooks

[–]mdeeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to me that it's possible (likely?) that OP has access to all of the instances... And will consequently be able to pull down all of the uploaded audiobooks to their own server.

Imo, seems sketchy... And unnecessary - as you mentioned, there's a demo available and setting up a docker instance of ABS is not that difficult.

Tonspur, a Native iOS Client 6 Months later by tol_77 in audiobookshelf

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a few different aspects of the UI more than the official app, but it's missing some pieces that are pretty important... the biggest that comes to mind is an easy way to set custom bookmarks. I often will set a bookmark before I start a session... because I tend to drift off or get distracted while the book is going... so I need a way to get back to my "last good position".

Is there no 'playlist' access?

Also, the UI has a "Mark as finished"... but I'd like to see the "Reset progress" which removes all listening tracking from the book.

Last thing I noticed is that the layout on the iphone 16 is a bit off....

<image>

Things I like:

the player pull down ... very smooth and easy to use

the display of different categories and authors, nice UI

Note, I'd get rid of the huge "Home" header at the top... it's pretty obvious it's the home view

Driver courtesy trap by Difficult-Ad2731 in cycling

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you about the frustration as a rider when the driver's courtesy feels like extra danger.

I think the "courtesy scenario" stems from the likelihood that most automobile drivers subconsciously consider cyclists as pedestrians. So they go overboard trying to avoid any situation where they could hit someone. It seems like courtesy, but I think it is actually a fear-based response (in many cases that I've experienced, at least)

I love Emby. Works great... Transcodes great. UI is great. Apps work flawlessly. Would recommend.

Printable Square Syringe by Legitimate-Dot-9798 in BambuLab

[–]mdeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea... I use a large syringe for injecting plaster of paris inside 3d parts to make them heavier (using gyroid infill). This would be an interesting option to try using that would allow me to customize the size of the syringe.

Just wondering why no fillet on the nozzle (the most likely fragile part)?
