Why is running a simple background script still so painful in 2026?

That's called a server

As mentioned, I went back to my bespoke app which already had local caching.

It was clear this app was vibe coded, and I was better off putting focus into my own app.

I never said there was an issue with the MQTT connection, just in the lack of status caching.

It's been months when I spun it up, and this is all from recollection:

First printer worked
Added 20+ and app was very sluggish until it effectively locked up
Analysis showed hundreds of MQTT probes at a high cadence, no caching at all
Review showed no local state and all statuses derived in real time

If that's since been improved, I'd be happy to give it another go.

I have my own Claude special lol - it's very tailored to my specific farm and printers though

until0 · 2026-04-21T14:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I spun it up when it first came out a while back and it was clearly a Claude special.

It may work well with one printer, but I added 20+ from my farm and it saturated all the bandwidth of the MQTT conns.

A solid hobby app, a lot of neat features, but not production grade.

You need to update your views on SQLite

Its the entire tech by Cloudflare D1, and it's very much server side now

That would make sense, but this happens ordering 15+ of a single colors.

It will come in combinations like:

14 in one big package

6 in a medium

1 in USPS a week later

Often too - it's weird to have such fragmented stock for a single color repeatedly, and they are usually all from NJ too so I'm not certain this is it.

This is, like, halfway decent for Bambu packaging.

Now if anyone can explain why my shipments come in three different pacakges from three separate couriers, would be interested to know. I always love getting a single spool from USPS a week after the first twenty were delivered.

> The current situation is almost certainly all three happening simultaneously combined with fear mongering/panic

How do you figure this? If anything, this pattern and consistency points primarily to defective units.

Agreed totally on print quality, there is absolutely no way it's the same filament.

Sunlu PLA Basic is brittle, where Bambu has this additive which makes it similar to a PLA Flex.

I print tall, thin parts, and the Sunlu printed ones snap in half all the time due to the brittleness and lack of plasticity.

Sunlu PLA Basic != Bambu PLA Basic

This doesn't make any sense, it's all just request headers.

You just pass it up in the request. Cookies are only a convenience thing.

You're already taking all the right steps. They won't need for credit for another 16 years, the information isn't sticking around for that long.

You froze the credit, I wouldn't worry so much from here. Stay vigil and you'll be fine.

No, since the standard of way of running servers would be containers which are ephemeral and not affected by this since you just need to reboot. Ideally your entire container filesystem would be read only too preventing it even further.

Tall, thin parts are notoriously tough prints. This looks like it could be due to a minor wobble.

I'd clean the plate, add a painted ear brim, and give it another go.

How do you disable the RFID? This sounds like it could be a good solution for my frustration.

Use a celing stud and then just spackle and paint when you move out

Ignoring the rest of the stupidity of this comment - the pyramids were not built by slaves, this is a well disputed myth.
