I agree but having a more reliable printer you don’t have to fix is even better. It allowed me to start teaching myself CAD and now I spend time designing stuff around the house rather than fixing or upgrading the printer. I use Alibre Design, allows you to buy outright and no subscription if you don’t mind being on an older version.
Sounds intriguing, might be able to use this with Tailscale on a home box to access it on the go.
If you didn’t need 2.5 Gbps on the network, ace magician has a ryzen 5 mini that has a 2.5 Gbps and a 1 Gbps NIC for around 300 USD. Otherwise I guess you are looking for a new pc to put in fast cards.
If you had a pc already with two NICs, you could do sophos xg home on it or a pfsense/opnsense. I’m planning on virtualizing a VM on a cheap mini ryzen box that meets that (ace magician makes one for $300).
I have Fedora on a refurb Surface 3 (not pro). It is okay, but I run into issues with chromium browsers freezing it. Still tweaking power settings, i heard it’s related to that. Might try Nobara since I hadn’t heard of it, probably has better defaults.
Interesting concept, curious if it does decent results. Wonder if it has any biases towards certain things. How is it indexing? Is it going to have searches full of link farms? I do see a trial of it that I guess one could test initially to see how it does. I do see they have a browser as well, but it's Mac/iOS only.
Not completely, there are still some niche, non-technical communities that are probably never going to switch. I hope at some point they do, but still go once in a while to check. I don’t go daily like I used to, mostly do lemmy daily since the apps are getting so good now.
I guess it makes sense for this sort of thing to happen now. Goodreads doesn’t have a way to prove someone bought a book and with folks there that get review copies, probably won’t get the features. If authors didn’t have a hard enough time publishing, yet another thing to worry about.
I run the unstable HaikuOS build in a HyperV VM and keep updating it every week or two. Waiting on compatibility for hardware and just being able to use a web browser without issues. The epiphany port is decent but it’s still lacking. Things seem pretty active and really hope it’s more usable eventually. If done right, it could become the desktop OS alternative the world needs. Seems great design decisions were made early that should help it do well once the thousand paper cuts are reduced a bit.
Cat Deterrent model I designed since one cat dive bombs from door edge semi frequently. At some point will probably release the 3d models for it. Designed it in Alibre Design Pro.
