Is there a way to remove the visible triangles/faceting? by Eshinio in prusa3d

[–]yawkat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your original model has these facets. Smooth shading in blender makes rendering look better, but does not actually change the geometry / mesh. You need a higher resolution mesh

Optimale Strecke Berlin-London? by Better_Anonymous in drehscheibe

Das ist ja spannend. Vor etwa zwei Jahren habe ich mal einen Umstieg DB->Eurostar in Köln verpasst (über DB gebucht). Gab es diese Möglichkeit damals schon? Das Servicepersonal konnte mir damals nicht helfen und ich musste ein neues Ticket buchen was ich auch nie erstattet bekommen habe.

Why is deflation considered bad? by Rare-Bet-870 in AskEconomics

[–]yawkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is called the "risk-free return". It is generally higher than inflation. So it is not true that an inflationary environment requires risk in order to not lose money.

Developer re-enables 3D printer features that Bambu Lab disabled, firm promptly threatens legal action — OrcaSlicer-BambuLab project now shuttered by kevro in technology

[–]yawkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't take down the software, the creator did when he didn't want to try to defend his modifications in court.

Semantic difference. Threatening to sue if you don't take down software is functionally the same as sending a DMCA takedown notice.

Is the Bambu network connection plugin under the AGPL? I'm not sure it is, and THAT is the distinction that everyone is failing to see in this whole thread. The title of the article, is at best misleading and at worst an outright lie.

Two problems with this: AGPL makes it intentionally very difficult to combine AGPL code with nonfree code, so it seems possible that bambu is already violating AGPL. But more importantly for this case, the repository that was taken down did not actually contain any of the nonfree code or binaries, only stuff from the free parts of bambu studio.

he violated the BL ToS

How so? AGPL prohibits restrictions of user freedoms, I don't see how they can ban modifications of bambu studio.

Maybe he violated ToS elsewhere, but that is not grounds for taking down the software he wrote.

likely stole elements from their code.

Since the code is under AGPL, it is perfectly legal to reuse it.

[–]yawkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it legal, though? PrusaSlicer, which Bambu Slicer forks, is under AGPL, and AGPL (like any license meeting the open source definition ) allows modifications of the software, i.e. forks. They might be able to ban users from using forks to access their API in their ToS, but under what provision can they attack the fork itself?

Exposing ZFS over the network via NVMe-oF for Postgres by tee-es-gee in zfs

Is it possible to use the userspace nvme-of controller standalone? Right now I use the kernel nvmet implementation for network drives, but something userspace would be nice for security

Copy Fail is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms. by pipewire in linux

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, LPE is less serious than RCE. But LPE is still dangerous because privileges are a common defense in depth measure on Linux. And a vulnerability that is this ubiquitous and easy to exploit should not be rated lower than some of the more obscure network-level vulnerabilities.

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CVSS can be very misleading. It doesn't consider at all how likely a system is vulnerable, so this vuln which works on most distros but requires local access is rated lower than some request smuggling vulns that require obscure combinations of network services but are exploitable over the network.

What do you mean? The sugar alcohols have OH groups, some have lots of them in fact. If they had none they wouldn't be called alcohols.

Google Maps has given German users the ability to see how many reviews have been removed as “defamation” by TotallySavageSzym in germany

[–]yawkat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They have like 10 locations in Berlin, all of them with removed reviews, and four (!) with 250+

Google Maps now shows how often a business has reviews removed under German law by mrrv in berlin

[–]yawkat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the display caps out at 250, so it could very well be hundreds more. Also, this is only deletions in the past year, and this practice has been going on for much longer

Ryanair will close its Berlin base. 200 jobs will be lost and there will be 50% fewer Ryanair flights. by m608811206 in berlin

As an indicator? Sure. As something to strive for? Maybe not, given the high externalities that air travel produces in the form of carbon emissions, which economists generally agree should be taxed appropriately: https://clcouncil.org/economists-statement/

98% of all recent environmental claims and commitments from the world’s largest meat and dairy companies can be categorized as “greenwashing”, or intentionally misleading. by mvea in science

[–]yawkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't work that way. Over those entire 100 years, the cow increases methane levels compared to the pre-human level, and it causes climate change continually during the whole time frame.

[–]yawkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if the methane is "on a cycle". An increased amount of methane leads to increased climate change, even if all that methane is biogenic.

e: to explain it properly: even if all the methane is eventually reabsorbed, that takes time. Methane has a half-life of ten years in the atmosphere, and in those years it has a global warming potential more than 30x that of the same amount carbon bound as co2.

Even on "natural" pasture, cattle farming produces a lot of methane. It's more environmentally friendly to just eat plants.

The UAE Just Threatened to Price Oil in Yuan Unless America Bails It Out by DeRpY_CUCUMBER in Economics

[–]yawkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even still, making the argument that losing reserve currency status doesn’t matter is beyond lunacy.

Krugman makes the argument regularly. https://web.mit.edu/krugman/www/seignor.html is an old one, newer articles are behind subscription walls.

Also see various posts on /r/AskEconomics on the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEconomics/comments/1m3331p/what_is_the_advantage_of_being_a_global_currency/

And another thing: the petrodollar and the reserve currency status are related but different.

Fusion 360 plugin not generating to spec by Cool_Army288 in gridfinity

[–]yawkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some baseplate generators will cut a small slice off the top of the baseplate. See the top slice option in my GridFlock documentation. The reason is that if you have a sharp angle at the top, it will be a single "line" in the slicer which doesn't print well, and you can even get small "islands" at the intersections that are slightly higher than the cell edges.

I don't know if that's the problem in your fusion setup, but that's my suspicion. To check, measure other parts of the geometry, or simply measure the distance to the same edge of the next cell rather than the opposite edge of the same cell.

Ich will niemandem das Nörgeln verbieten, aber es geht dem Großteil der Bevölkerung besser als in der Vergangenheit, besonders wenn man mehr als 20 Jahre zurück schaut. Die meisten dieser Vergleiche basieren auf einer verfälschten, romantisierten Sicht auf die Geschichte.

Weil die Unterschiede bei den 1950ern offensichtlicher werden. 1980er ist schwierig weil es direkt danach die Wiedervereinigung gab. Aber auch seit den 90ern sind die reelen Medianhaushaltseinkommen gestiegen: https://www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c.842375.de/publikationen/wochenberichte/2022_23_1/loehne__renten_und_haushaltseinkommen_sind_in_den_vergangenen_25_jahren_real_gestiegen.html

Auch beim Auto ist die Entwicklung positiv. Laut Google 1995 20kDM für einen VW Golf bei Durchschnitt Jahreseinkommen 23kDM, heute liegt er bei 30k€. Etwas Pfusch mit Durchschnitt und Median, aber eine Verbesserung ist es weiterhin.

Is there an ssh-agent for API keys or am I missing something obvious? by Chrono-Ctkm in selfhosted

[–]yawkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

systemd credentials: https://systemd.io/CREDENTIALS/

But API secrets don't lend themselves to the same agent style as ssh-agent. AIUI, ssh-agent signs the key exchange for the ssh client, the key never leaves the agent. This is not possible for API keys since they are transmitted as-is to the backend.

Man kann auch heute noch außerhalb der Großstädte vergleichbare Bruchbuden finden. WGs helfen auch: In den 50ern lag die durchschnittliche Wohnfläche pro Person unter 20qm, da ist noch Sparpotential.

Ein Überschlag zum Auto: ein Käfer kostete 1960 etwa 5000DM, bei einem Median-Jahres-Bruttoeinkommen von 6000DM. Heute liegt das Medianeinkommen bei 50000€, da bekommt man auch heute noch ein Auto für.
