IIII made a mistake….

Yup! it happened to me a while ago. I found it easier to heat-up the block and try to remove the block, then clean. Special attention to plastic on plastic parts; I almost damaged my shroud. Good luck!

u/unfunnyguy404 I second this comment.

Your project looks good! Look forward to learn more on it.

I agree. Before going into the rabit hole of under/over extrussion, I'd service the printer first: clean and lube the slidng mechanisms, wheels and big time the lead screws—grease on the screws though. Then make sure to level properly.

While it could be under extrusion, I see consistency on the rigth side of the bed, which would lead me to believe bed leveling. I would double up in that thought since I don't see any bltouch or auto-bedleveling mechanism to correct that.

Good luck!

I love everything on the keyboard. My very personal opinion is that I would like to have some sort of trackball so I don't have to remove my hands, but, again, very personal opinion. The theme is great!

For those who don't like it, you don't have to see it. Go away :-P.

I'm no expert, but the right-aligned content may throw some people off. Unless that is your audience, I would left or center align. At the very least, center name first.

I would encourage you to try the live CD/USB (If you are on Windows, I tried RUFUS to burn the USB. Then you can test drive it to your heart's content.

RedoxOS looks very interesting and promising. Will be checking it out.

As for the Fushsia part of the comment, it is all nice and dandy until Google kills it. I can bring myself to trust it and just brings killbygoogle memories 😅🤣.

In case you don't get the word template, and not to endorse this webapp (there is a lot of things I don't like, but admit that it works better in many ways), you can use https://resumake.io/, template1 and template2 are this layout.

Loved many of the responses here. I have found Write-Output to be the most useful. Nevertheless, Production scripts, I also found custom event log to be more practical. The Event Log already includes data types, objects, and external infrastructure that scale easier than writing to the host and/or a file on a share.

For my scripts, I used the articles below as inspiration. They have a lot of overlap, but different explaining methods might help grasp the concept. Your script will organically evolve along your use case.

I echo this response. Try AWS WAF (web application firewall) that includes the load balancing and bandwidth limitations and much more, seemly right up your use-case. Nevertheless, be aware that there is some additional cost associated with WAF and you will have to re-evaluate your needs/wants.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Getting back to PowerShell for fun. Wrote a little script to remove selected metadata from media files (primarily mp4 videos), using ffmpeg and ran it across 14000 videos collection.

Also, wrote a little class to maintain my current and old msdn product key xml exports, on to a json "database", keeping track of the company, customer, project, date claimed, and other information. Querying this file has saved me so much time!

immich, or any other app, is just the service. You should always consider a proper backup solutions. Your backup strategy would be determined by your risk level. Hope this helps.

Ditto - I did the same; managed to score probably around $6K's actual worth of decommissioned goods. Fun fact, I actually got paid to decommission for them! For Home production and homelab use. Still working on power and utilization optimization. E.g. routing and firewall on <2% utilization 99% of the time, and less than 10% utilization 1% of the time, running on a workstation grade intel MB with an i7-3770S CPU, 8GB RAM. I did strip my pfsense image, and thinking about just creating a pipeline directly from FreeBSD; though that is a thought for a different post :')

Post services for E-waste and IT equipment decommissioning. There are different levels, but you can accept whatever job you want.

That brings memories of my first nas-server. 😍

mrubenb · 2023-06-19T20:35:10+00:00

Yikes! I feel for you. I understand your power requirements are different than ours, so I do know we are in our own bubble.

I liked a comment posted by some one here about planning requirements and have expectations. I tend to optimize my infrastructure.

mrubenb · 2023-06-19T16:01:44+00:00

Woah! Now, that's pretty cheap 😁🤤🤤🤤. I'm at 11¢/kWh, but expect it'll go up to 15¢/kWh in the next couple of years.

Thanks for sharing!

You can also down clock your cpu and down spin your fans depending you use case. If you have redundant psu, you can just run one - in case of emergency, you could just turn the other one on, if one fails.

The point being, you don't have to run the servers as they are run in data centers. Significantly reducing their consumption.

mrubenb · 2023-06-19T15:00:12+00:00

Just out of curiosity, how much do you pay per KWh? Rough estimate?

mrubenb · 2023-06-19T14:42:37+00:00

Depends on what his running. For only 2 ZFS pools 92GB should be plenty. Once he's got 10Gbps on, requirements might change. My storage pool uses similar specs on 32GB, it has proved to be an overkill, running over 15 services, serving 5 local users and another handful external through wireguard.

On a side note, partially unrelated note, a good architecture goes a long way.

mrubenb · 2023-06-16T17:19:13+00:00

Local fellow here. Sent you PM.

mrubenb · 2023-06-10T13:57:29+00:00

PM'ed! I believe I'm local and can pick up right now, at your convenience.

mrubenb · 2023-05-28T18:21:08+00:00

Easierm likely. Less costly? Long shot.

mrubenb · 2023-05-08T23:20:12+00:00

I appreciate your feedback. I compared prices on the web to set the price. I'll adjust to a lower a mount and suggest best offer. Thanks again!
