This is a community for people who have home servers. 100M is fine for a couple people just web browsing, but that’s not the topic of this discussion.

I run 10G between my desktop and my server because I can easily saturate a 1G connection doing a simple file transfer.

I hate this so much, but I can’t do anything but agree.

Ryobi cordless tools because I’m a light duty user. Wiha screwdrivers because I’m worth it (and they are worth it). And the nice Hakko soldering tools because I use those more.

I had a Harbor Height cordless drill that worked just fine for like six years, to my surprise and delight. I’m a light duty user, so I upgraded to a brushless Ryobi.

I wish someone would call me their dearly beloved ham casserole.

When I bought an actual bedframe. It wasn’t the bed at my parents’ house, it wasn’t the bed that my college dorm owned, and it wasn’t an air mattress I had been sleeping on during my internships. It was an actual bed, a real piece of adult furniture. It wasn’t a small cheap metal frame. It was bulky and adult and real, and I owned it.

I run http://long.cat (but I’m not a web dev, so the cool scrolling bit only works on desktop)

Universal Radio Hacker probably isn’t as simple as you are hoping, but it should be moderately easy and very powerful https://github.com/jopohl/urh

Consider post processing steps if you really need smooth parts. Sandable fillers, special paints, epoxy coatings, or just a bunch of sanding. I’ve had good luck with XTC-3D. It’s an epoxy you paint on that’s specifically designed for smoothing prints.

You could also consider a resin printer if you need smooth. They are their own can of worms, but the resolution and smoothness is good.

I usually just accept the roughness.

Where are you seeing dread? Most of the cicada news I’ve seen falls between “this is a cool curiosity” and “this happens regularly and is perfectly fine”. Also plenty of articles about eating them.

Because mainstream porn sites are blocked or require age verification in my state. Other good reasons are to avoid some issues when torrenting things or to “be” in another country to get around Netflix and other streaming service region blocks.

Privacy and avoiding man in the middle is kinda bullshit. Nearly all websites use TLS, so mitm isn’t possible. And it’s only privacy from your ISP.

I agree with the people suggesting Onshape.

But if you like programming, OpenSCAD can be really interesting.

One of the IT guys at my work is really good at stripping torx, but that’s because he uses a driver a couple sizes too small.

To be fair to 4, cell phones are miraculous.

No we aren’t 😞
