I can’t know for sure if they kicked the bucket or not, but they aren’t around here anymore.

They seemed like a genuinely cool person and it makes me sad that they might be gone.

They’ve mentioned accepting and not fearing death, but also wanting to remain anonymous.
I won’t doxx them, alive or not, but know that it seems someone has since been taking care of what they considered to be their life’s work (their words).

May they remind y’all to cherish whatever time you do have.

lol fuck thag noise, literally.
Unsolder the piezo.

Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.

Whatever you do, make sure you have working backups first.

I imagine you could copy the docker volumes over, but that’s more work than of they’re “mounts”, in which case you can just copy the corresponding on the host. Use scp or rclone or whatever to copy the files over

So much baiting, the chat bot never had a chance.

A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

What are you gonna do, call Feline Ressources?

Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

It generates 42.8% bullshit.

Clearly, that means I can order my Trump Epstein frappé too, right?

Aside from adhesion itself, maybe that specific filament is (also) underextruding?
I have has a batch of 1.75mm filament that was actually something like 1.6ish. I tried to have it stick, but nothing worked because it simply wasn’t extruding enough.
I eventually measured it with calipers, set that in the slicer and then it started worked fine.
Similarly, maybe your .2mm nozzle has a partial clog?

Sadly, the CAD software I have the most experience with is SolidWorks. It has its quirks, but I like it and I know my way around.
Which is too bad, because it’s completely absolutely fucking stupidly expensive for any home use.

Not to mention I’ve heard stories of people getting caugth through exported models’ metadata and getting sued for publishing models made with pirated or student versions or whatnot.
I’m not even a business and whilr I have no moral qualms pirating software, I don’t exactly wanna deal with an actively hostile company either.

I’ve switched to onshape for now, but I know enshittification will eventually butcher it too.
There’s a few others I’ve tried that I either can’t get good at, or that simply lack functionality.

I’ve been meaning to try Alibre CAD, but last I checked, their trial thing required back and forth with a rep and I just never bothered.

I don’t even mind paying, yet not $5k yearly or some shit.
If you ever find something, ping me.

Honestly, I’d just use whatever the ISP provides.
Sure, it’s not open source and it kinda sucks… But I mean, if you don’t trust the ISP modem, you can’t trust the rest of their infrastructure either anyway, so it’s kinda moot.
At least that way you have a vague chance of having a modicum of support when shit breaks.

If it can’t be put into bridge mode, it probably has some sort of DMZ function where it basically does port forwarding for any/all possible ports.
Double NAT isn’t as bad as it sounds these days.

Now to your question…
They exist, they’re mostly targeted at ISPs though, so might be a harder find than other things.
They might also be older, as basically all customers also want their ISP to provide Wi-Fi, which a bridge modem won’t.
Anyway,
You’ll have to know what DSL were talking about, there’s… ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2, etc

One old-ass model we used to use back in the day was… a Siemens 5200, but that’s ADSL2 at best, definitely not VDSL.

Fuck this feudal tithing bullshit.

The reddit part is pretty representative though.

Macaroni and cheese and cheese

Yes and these comments also show up on mastodon.

No apologies needed. Although, ordering one before they reban it again may or may not be something to consider.

Pretty sure that ban was walked back?

I loathe sluggish pace reading where I lose the plot inbetween sessions.

I love binge reading a book but rarely can.
I already read a gazillion emails, documents, specs, and whatnot and the same braincells are often cooked.

Similarly, I just can’t deal with physical jigsaw anymore. Same braincells used in work-related pattern recognition in troubleshooting, that I find it unsatisfying.

You might not yet always know what you’re doing to your Linux install…
But you can never really what the fuck Microsoft is gonna do to your windows install.

That’s without even getting into whether or not Microsoft knows what they’re doing themselves.

Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.
