For non-Americans, poster above me is talking about the deductable, co-insurance, and then max out of pocket.

The one thing I'd argue is inaccurate is the 10% co-insurance rate.

If you have an insurance with ONLY a 10% co-insurance, you have good insurance. 25-50% is far more usual.

The only thing I'd mention on the cache is to be a little careful, because depending on your actual use case you can use a LOT of transcode cache space.

If it's just you, doing one stream, it probably doesn't matter.

If it's you, and your 20 closest friends, well, uh, it can be quite a lot and maybe you won't want it in RAM.

As for the media, a bind mount is the way to go, and I'd also recommend doing it as a read-only mount: Jellyfin doesn't need the ability to modify that data, and in the event of a security oopsie (or a misconfigured user, or a 6 year old that gets 5 minutes alone with your mouse or....), it keeps someone from trashing your entire media library, assuming that's something you wouldn't want to have to spend the time gathering again.

For the user, I just have a 'service' account, and run the vast majority of my containers under that UID. Sure, maybe that's not the MOST secure, but it's worlds better than root, and container escapes are not exactly common so it's probably sufficient.

...and if you get DLNA working let me know, because I never have. I just use Jellyfin clients everywhere because that at least does what you expect in terms of showing the media in a usable format and playing it.

Second time's the charm, maybe?

What, you mean you don't play games and go "Well that looked great! Well worth my time!" like an awful lot of the AAA game industry appears to think gamers do?

Huh.

Seriously though, I'm curious how we ended up in the make-shit-prettier race and not a make-the-writing-good, or make-the-game-actually-fun, or even things like make-more-than-two-dungeons (looking at you, Starfield) race.

Especially given the cost to me, personally, to keep upgrading my GPU has reached an untenable level: I'm sure as crap not paying $2000 for a new GPU just so we get a few extra frames of hair jiggle or slightly better lighting or whatever.

$5 says the problem is the ad revenue they were living on has dried up and/or dramatically shrunk.

This has happened to a LOT of sites, and a more niche site like newgrounds probably doesn't command high rates, so they have to figure out how to fund themselves now.

Edit: Also, I don't think sites asking you to donate/pay for features is "enshittification". If anything, getting revenue from you, the user, is a hard counter to enshittification.

Enshittification is exploiting you for the benefit of capital: you become the product, and are pimped out to anyone who wants to pay.

If you're the one paying for the service, you're maintaining the relationship as a customer, and you keep the power in that dynamic, which is a power 'free users' on enshittified platforms don't have: you can take your money and leave, and that will actually hurt them.

This isn't globally true, of course - what is? - but telling you they need money to keep the site up and offer you a method to pay and provide something for your money is very very honest compared to what most of big tech pulls.

It's probably fairer to say, 'It's hard for me to get into'.

Rodents and animals like pigs and cows and horses and deer and goats and such are primary seed spreaders, and if you've ever dealt with a rat or a pig or goat, you know there's absolutely nothing they can't eat: plants, fruits, wood, metal....

We're bad at it, but shockingly humans aren't the best at everything ;)

(Also: be careful, because the pineapple is just as interested in eating you as you are in eating it.)

Unlike incarcerated residents with jobs in the kitchen or woodshop who earn just a few hundred dollars a month, remote workers make fair-market wages, allowing them to pay victim restitution fees and legal costs, provide child support, and contribute to Social Security and other retirement funds.

Interesting if that's really true, given how prison labor being slavery is pretty much how it works otherwise.

I'd love to know how fair-market the wages are, becuase I somehow suspect that:

1. They're way lower than someone not in prison would get paid and
2. The benefits don't exist (no PTO, no insurance, no 401k, etc.) and
3. The coercive incentives of being able to report your employee to their guards would drive all sorts of abuses

This reads to me as a feel-good whitewashing piece so fragile white liberals can point to it and go 'See? Prison labor isn't that bad!', but perhaps I'm wrong.

In the app?

Does trying it through their web store directly resolve your issue?

(I had a similar issue, though not that exact one, that was preventing me from purchasing using their desktop client but the website seemed to not care.)

Listen, is it really a 3d printer hobby if you don't have 5 or 6 printers, none of which could actually print anything, and five boxes of parts laying around for you to fix your printers?

Oh also see above while planning another printer project, because none of those printers will do something you might want to do.

(/s, kidding, etc, but there's That Guy somewhere, and you know who you are.)

Oh, that's neat and I can certainly see why that's useful.

I have to do a little gcode header swapping by hand because I'm cheap and bought a p1p and am certainly making it do things it's not really designed to do, and that kind of functionality could save a bit of time.

I'd also argue it makes it harder to use, period: something that takes me 10 seconds to read somehow ends up being a 5 minute video, of which 90% is fluff that's not related to the problem.

I've yet to land on a tutorial video that gets to the point and doesn't feel the need to waste a ton of time introducing themselves, a paragraph about what we're doing, asking me to subscribe, talking about their sponsor and so on.

I lament the death of the text-based tutorial and strongly dislike the youtube format video.

Man, I wish this had been a thing ~8 months ago when I was building these for my stuff.

....mine are awful, and these look awesome, so maybe it's time to re-do that.

I'd love to know if this was just some guy who went 'let's ship it to all our customers!' or if this was a C-level 300 hours of meetings type of thing which concluded that spreading christmas malware cheer was the right move.

What is a macro in this context that requires custom firmware?

My googling makes it just look like gcode stuff to work around hardware issues, but I'm confused how that requires Klipper, since you can drop any gcode block you want into any slicer I've ever seen?

I was just curious if they had done their own thing. Some companies just ship Cura, some have done their own thing, and I wasn't aware of which way they went.

I'm not a giant Cura fan* so was just curious.

(* Cura has the problem of trying to be everything for everyone and to do everything anyone ever might want to do, and ends up just being.... a bit much.)

...so do both?

"Hi, coworker! How's your day? Anyway bossman is on me about the TPS reports, are those going to be done today?"

See? You were polite, checked in on them, AND got to the point all at once!

It's less that and more the rest of article 5 which lets each signatory decide what level of response is appropriate.

So really, the question you should be asking, is if the US invades, which other signatories would take armed action and declare war against the US, which I suspect is probably not 'everyone'.

The software was easy to pick up.

Are they shipping something other than Cura?

I'm a fan of the Bambu printers because they just simply work.

You want to print something, they print something, done.

If you want to fiddle, then they're the wrong printers, but if you want to model shit and make things then they're really hard to beat right now.

And, yes, I have reservations about the closed sourced nature, but honestly ask yourself: are you going to contribute to the code? Are you going to build your own firmware to run on your printer? If the answer is no, then that's probably not really a concern that should be driving your decisions.

will never be widely accepted by the majority of the populatioj because it just isn’t what the vast majority of people want. They want communication methods that compliment their real world lives

I don't think that's strictly true, but I do think it would require their real world lives to get shockingly worse to increase the appeal of living in a "better" world.

This is usually how you see these kind of things presented in fiction: everyone uses a "metaverse", but it requires a full on completely society destroying dystopia to also exist to make it sufficiently appealing.

I'd put money on the next round of VR worlds getting a lot more buy-in since you've got a generation of kids growing up that are already living mostly online, and a species that seems hell-bent on diving in to a nice authoritarian dystopia, so uh, the next 20 years will probably be real interesting,
