It should be case by case. Simple as that.

This is not an ideal situation to begin with. I stopped upgrading my P1S firmware at 1.07.00.00 and I use OrcaSlicer in LAN mode.

At least you have control over the machine.

X1C at least has a custom 3rd party firmware. So you can keep control of your machine at the very least.

I bought a Creality K1 before I received my P1S as a gift and the setup was pretty easy.

Other printers are there or getting there in ease of use, but Bambu Lab clearly had a headstart and used that to try and close their ecosystem

Yes but unless they get challenged in court, they will continue to do so.

Their slicer is forked from Prusa slicer, which is forked from Slic3r which is AGPL.

Unless they write their own slicer from scratch, they are stuck with the AGPL license. They tried to mitigate that by adding poorly implemented user authentication code.

The dev used their AGPL code to create the Orca Slicer fork and now, Bambu Lab is mad because it exposed their shitty security and poor attempt at closing their ecosystem.

I am a neophyte in homelabbing. What is Netbird doing exactly?

I read the github page and didn’t really understand what is the use case for that.

This is an interesting article, but the crux of the setup isn’t described : what is the configuration on your home server?

Creating a wireguard tunnel is pretty simple, but managing how everything is handled behind the VPN is more challenging.

The issue is that a lot of everyday services depends on Google.

If your bank decides it integrates with Google Play Services, well fuck you, your degoogled device won’t work anymore and you’ll have to switch banks or forego using your device for banking.

Every corpo is pushing hard to interwind themselves with your day to day so that they become the gatekeepers of your life and rent seek.

It’s easy for us to find an alternative because we are tech litterate, but not everyone has the knowledge to do so and it is increasingly hard to do so.

GrapheneOS uses Google hardware and depends on Google publishing the Device Tree Blob to create their software over.

By branching with Motorola, it gives them more viability for when Google decide they won’t publish the DTB anymore (it will happen).

But GrapheneOS is still dependant on Motorola not being dicks.

Force the companies to behave, not the populace to be controlled.

There is a local initiative going around for age verification software and I am baffled that anybody support that, and moreso that parents created a software and the initiative.

Just a quick correction, its M capital for Mega, m is for milli.

And Giga is also G capital, not sure there is a low case g for engineer notation.

Every C-Suite think they will be able to snatch senior devs that other companies will train.

LLMs are just one way to monetize the data. I would bet hand over fire that Microsoft used the data as soon as they bought GitHub.

it makes sense. My rationale behind putting the NAS on the MGMT and then passing disk space through mounted drives is that I can create any number of VLANs if I want, and give bits and pieces of the NAS drive through the services, without ever having to change my NAS configuration (other than creating the shares I need)

I wanted to just add more storage space to proxmox and distribute it through the services, but considering the prices of NVMe drives, the rock5c with the sata hat was a lot more cost effective since I had 2x 2TB SSD not doing much in my computer.

I forgot he is pushing 80 years old.

Is that Vince McMahon?

It isn’t when you are a sociopath

I think the will to fuck anyone over for more advancement is the biggest factor here.
