That mindset is part of why I bought a Prusa originally, but felt betrayed by the MMU2S. That was an expensive and crap product that they never fixed. They basically stole from their customers with that one and I wish the community wouldn’t let them get away with it without them making it right, which at this point would be difficult to do.

I don’t know current best options, but last I was looking, the Voron design was where I was leaning. I’d suggest avoiding companies that violate open source licenses.

I used to be a Prusa evangelist, but I don’t forgive them for the MMU2S. Huge amount of people never could get it to work. I’m curious as to the actual percentage working. I couldn’t ever get it to work even with multiple complete rebuilds. That product should have been recalled or a free fix offered. Years later they released a new version that supposedly fixed the issues and you still had to pay to upgrade to it. Discounted if they had a support record for you. If not, full price.

From time to time I see a new Prusa printer and think “that looks good, I should buy it”, and then remember the insane amount of time I wasted trying to get the MMU2S to work. Never buying Prusa again until they provide me the working MMU I paid for at no additional cost. As there’s basically zero chance of that, my boycott continues and I suggest not supporting a company that fucked over their customers with an expensive poorly designed product that they then want them to pay to fix.

I have been trying to come up with a solution that retains anonymity while also preventing spam/scam/etc for a while now. I have a few ideas, but feel there’s room for improvements.Im’m up for discussing related ideas.

Is it resolving to an IPv6 address? If so and you don’t have fully working IPv6, try disabling IPv6 on Debian. I’m mentioning this as a possibility because I’ve personally had this issue with some new Debian installs a few times. The first few it took me more time than I’d like to admit to figure out the issue. If this is the case, then an IPv4 only mirror would avoid it, but you may have other random issues.

If it’s not related to IPv6, then I’d just pick different mirrors until you find one that works. Are you able to access that fastly mirror from another device (via http)?

Please actually compare the certificate when connecting to your server directly (bypassing Cloudflare) and connecting via Cloudflare. An easy way to do this is with openssl CLI:

openssl s_client -servername your-domain-here.org -connect your-ip-here:443 < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -text -noout

Replace your-domain-here.org with your domain and your-ip-here with your actual server IP, but also do it with the Cloudflare IP.

The section about the “Full (strict)” / “Full” is referring to how Cloudflare verifies the certificate (or not in the case of Flexible and off) between your origin server and Cloudflare – this is not with respect to the client and Cloudflare. The Custom origin certificates are also with respect to Cloudflare and your server (has no impact on certificate used between the client and Cloudflare). Cloudflare still uses a separate certificate that they have issued to themselves and hold the private key to use for the client.

If you pay extra for their “Advanced Certificate Manager”, this allows you to upload a custom certificate to be used between the client and Cloudflare, but you have to provide the private key to Cloudflare because they still terminate SSL/TLS at their servers. Even their “Total TLS” service (part of ACM and the word “Total” could be mistaken to be “total” as in from client all the way to your origin server) does not provide E2EE.

I may be unaware of a newer service offering, but the only way that I’m aware of to get true E2EE is on their Enterprise plan (Keyless TLS). I have a lot of experience with Cloudflare for both personal and Enterprise plan (I was the technical person in charge of the account and configuring and such). Granted, I’ve not been dealing with CF enterprise for a few years now and they may have a new service offering outside of enterprise that I’m not familiar with, but my quick look around still looks like everything aside from Keyless TLS requires either giving them the key (in the case of ACM custom certificates) or they use their own certificate for client <-> Cloudflare. When I did manage the enterprise plan, we actually didn’t use Keyless TLS because we used features that required them to terminate TLS anyway, so I can’t speak to the specifics of it.

I hope I’m wrong though. I’d love to have true E2EE while still getting the DDoS protection on my personal stuff.

You should check the certificate shown to clients when accessing your domain. I think you’ll find that it is not the certificate that you created outside of Cloudflare. Cloudflare doesn’t need your private key as they issue a certificate for your domain to themselves and use that for the connection with the client. The certificate you created is used between Cloudflare and your server. The only option I’m aware to route traffic through Cloudflare where they don’t terminate SSL is an enterprise only feature.

Could you explain more? Is this just an experiment to see if you can line up and fuse 2 separately printed objects? Are the 2 parts different materials? I feel like I’m misunderstanding.

What I think you’ve done is print 1 object in TPU and then print a 2nd object, also in TPU, close enough to the 1st object such they fuse. Maybe your future plans would help me understand. I’m interested in learning about different techniques.

I had considered doing something like object fusing to create foldable objects, like print the first couple layers in TPU (for both objects as well as a connecting piece between them) and then print 2 separate objects on top of the TPU base – think like a foldable phone case where rather than use a normal hinge, it would be an edge in TPU and the rest is PLA/PETG/whatever. Reason to do the whole base in TPU is that I thought just printing the part that connects the other 2 parts in TPU wouldn’t fuse well enough and would separate with use. I’ve not actually done this.

I also like Frigate and it has some integrations with Home Assistant as well.

Alternatively may be worth trying Shinobi. I tried Shinibi a while ago. I liked how it worked, but had some random UI bugs in the release versions. At that time the UI was being rewritten and while some things were improved in the new (in development at the time) UI, I had other bugs in the new UI (again it was in active development and not considered stable when in used it) and switched to Frigate. This was years ago, but I think I’m going to give it another try as I generally liked the UI and features over Frigate, but Frigate has been reliable.

Blue Iris is for security cameras, so think near real time object detection of multiple video streams.

It says it can’t be decrypted with passive means due to a proper ECDH key exchange, but if they are not doing any sort of verification that theor server sent or created the key, then it would be possible to do an active attack like MITM that manipulates the key exhcnage. What I mean is, your MITM proxy would substitute the real key with one that you have the keypair to and hand that to the target application. The target application then encrypts using the key you provide, your MITM proxy decrypts and reencrypts with the real key and all seems legit from both sides.

If there are server validation of some sort, signature checks or whatever, then it would require extra work like patching out or otherwise modifying those checks in the application, extracting the key from the application’s memory, or something like this.

I guess myvpoint is, if you’re motivated enough, you can make it happen.

Unfortunately TrueNAS dropped FreeBSD. I’m still on the FreeBSD version, but need to leave TrueNAS or switch to the Linux based version. I’ve not decided what to do yet.

Years ago i was looking for EV kits and found several people out there selling them. Idk what the current availability is, how much tech they have, or how open they are. The ones I saw were pretty low tech (lacking regen braking and such). Think accelerator pedal controls motor speed and a battery pack is about all they were. Again this was a while ago when I was looking (like 2010ish).

You could offer kits for older vehicles, but considering the cost of the kid and installation cost/effort, does it make sense to start with an older car that may have other issues coming soon?

So what’s the alternative? Start with a new car and throw out the ICE? Sure, but a bit wasteful and even more expensive than an older car or you could find an existing manufacturer (idk like Lotus) who will basically provide you the car without the ICE related components (aka a glider). ;)

Similar to SEO, there’s a lot that isnt public (some for obvious reqsons), so it’s a lot of guess work / trial and error / anecdotes. This volume thing I’m pretty sure is real. What is almost certainly real as well is open rates. If you send a bunch of mail that isn’t opened, this isn’t good either.

The warming up was in the docs for the 3rd party mail service I managed for work a few years ago when we wanted to switch to a dedicated IP. They also cautioned to keep open rates up. I assume they have the data to advise their customers appropriately.

I’ve mostly run my own mail servers since around 2000, and I gave up a few years ago and started using a 3rd party for outbound SMTP. I had considered giving people free SMTP accounts to boost legit traffic, but I didn’t know how to prevent spam/scammers from using it. Like if I posted on Reddit that I was doing that, I’d probably get legit people, but also almost certainly a spammer or few. As such, idk how anyone can practically run their own SMTP server today unless they sort of bootstrap it with a few legit newsletters (that people actually want and open) spread out over multiple days or transactional emails like say a ticketing system (if the people receiving them are the types to actually open them).

As far as personal emails going through the same spam filters, there are some headers newsletters add that I’d assume handles them slightly differently (list-unsubscribe).

There’s often niche cases where the obviously better solution (cable) isn’t practical. Let’s take 2 mountain tops with a massive valley between that can’t realistically have fiber due terrain / environmental reasons but are only 0.5km apart.

A related scenario is where environmental or other factors make the fiber at high risk of damage (mud slides, earth quakes, etc), while wireless has its own reliability issues, they don’t have 100% overlap in their likely failure scenarios, so can be a good combination.

Another scenario is multipoint. It seems that most people think of point to point use cases and a wire is point to point, but what about point to multipoint / broadcast data? You could have hundreds of wireless receivers vs hundreds of cables. In some multipoint scenarios, the data throughput is higher and cheaper than fiber. Obvious example would be satellite TV 30 years ago when very few had access to internet that could handle the data rate of even a single TV channel.

As long as you do pass through of the USB device (or USB host controller), it should be fine. The VM acesses it directlty without passing through a virtualized version of the device (like what normally happens with sound, network, graphics) and the VM can even DMA to it. Down side is that the hardware isn’t visible to the host anymore, so if you pass through a GPU, it’s used exclusively by the VM, not the host. If you connect a monitor to the GPU, you see the VM, not the host. So you can only do this with hardware that is intended specifically for use within the VM. Zune management sounds like an ideal use case. See IOMMU if you’re interested in some if the tech side if it.

No reason it can’t be done on 120v (from a technical level). In fact, most solar inverters in the US could do this at a technical level as they basically do the same thing, just on a larger scale (higher current and therefore are wired in to electrical panels rather than through outlet as outlets have lower current limits). All you need is the inverter to synchronize its AC output to match grid. If you had a smaller inverter, you could just connect it to an outlet (ignoring building codes, insurance, and other non technical reasons). So the choice is then to have centralized larger inverters or smaller inverters per panel or 2. If you live in a very densely populated area where you can only pit a panel or 2 on a balcony or you don’t have control of your electrical panel, then the small inverter method makes sense.

I think you’re on to something, but sort of accidentally. A couple replies to you are saying it’s not possible, but I think they’re making an assumption that is not correct in many cases.

The replies is saying it’s not possible because the layers are flattened before passed to the compression, thus the uncensored/unredacted data is not part of the input to the compression and therefore cannot have any impact on its output. This is true assuming you are starting with an uncompressed image.

Here’s a scenario where the uncensored/unredacted parts of the image could influence the image: someone takes a photo of their ID, credit card, etc. It’s saved in a lossy compressed format (e.g. JPEG), specifically not a lossless format. They open it in an image editing tool to 100% black out some portion, then save it again (doesn’t actually matter the format). I feel lile someone is going to think I’m misunderstanding if I don’t explain the different output scenarios.

First is the trivial case: amultilayer output with the uncensored/unredacted data as its own layer. In this case, its trivial to get the uncensored/unredacted data as it is simply present and visible of you use a tool that can show the individual layers, but the general assumption is that this is not the case – that the output is a single layer image, in which we have 2 scenarios.

Second case: lossy compressed original, lossless censored. Consider that this censored/redacted image is flattened and saved as a lossless format such as PNG. Certainly there will be no compression artifacts of the uncensored/redacted data both because it is lossless (no artifacts added by PNG) and that it was flatted prior to being passed to PNG. However, the uncensored/unredacted artifacts remain in the uncensored/unredacted portions of the image. These were introduced by the compression that was applied prior to the censoring (e.g. the JPEG compression that contained the pre censored image). I suspect this is actually a common case.

Third case: lossy compressed original, lossy compressed censored: same as second case, except now you have additional artifacts, in particular you bow have artifacts from the censored portion, and the artifacts of the previous lossy compression are also adding additional artifacts. This is probably more difficult, but the point is that the original uncensored/unredacted artifacts are still present.

Yeah and it’d be cool if they threw in a couple other games to show its versatility. HL3 of course, but a multiplayer game and maybe a unique puzzle game would be a good mix of game types.

I think you’re mixing up ME and 2000. ME (consumer) came after 98 (consumer) and 2000 (business) was the NT (business) version. I ran 2000 for a few years. Huge step up from 98/ME in stability and less eye candy bloat than XP.
