You can also install ad guard home as an add on INSIDE Home Assistant. Works great!

Am also in Wyoming and can confirm.

Too many people thought that Twitters Blue Checkmark meant you were special. That attitude carries over to Bluesky and being verified.

I’m so old that when I started there wasn’t any choice. It was command line or go outside!

I googled a map of US literacy by county. Interesting view.

Thank you for the feedback!

Creality K1

See this is one of the things that confuses me. ASA supposedly requires a bed temperature of 120 but the K1 supposedly only goes to 100. Did you modify yours to get hotter or did it just work?

Thanks for the warning about the fumes. This machine will go out in the garage and be externally vented.

The Centauri Carbon is surprisingly inexpensive, almost suspiciously so. I don’t need multi-color so that won’t be a problem. I’ll look into this one more.

The Snapmaker U1 looks interesting and it’s currently on sale for $849 so it’s in my budget -but- were back to the “I want a guarantee the thing will print ASA without 100 hours of frustration and faffing about.” thing.

BUT: please, for the love of god,the spaghetti monster and everyone else…

🤣

I appreciate your warning about ASA and its toxic fumes. The machine will live in my 3 car garage where I can put an externally vented hood over it or enclose it completely.

And stay away from Bambu,imho.

That’s a bummer to hear as they’re one of the few manufacturer names that I actually recognize!

I know that BL has some controversy regarding lock in but I can’t even figure out which of their models would do I want in order to buy it!

Cloudflare has a ton of services in their “free” tier and there’s a lot of confusion in here because people toss around “Cloudflare” without specifying which service they are actually talking about.

If you are using Cloudflared (notice the d) with your own LE Cert then you are probably fine.

The term VPN is pure marketing bs. What is called VPN today used to be called Proxy Server.

Perhaps if you are only talking about the consumer level stuff advertised on TV. Otherwise I can assure you that “Virtual Private Networks” are a real thing that have absolutely nothing to do with Proxy Servers.

On down the comment chain you mention "…our computers would not see each other and would not be able to connect to each other via that service. " as some kind of test of whether a thing is a VPN or Proxy Service but what you’re missing is that this is a completely common and advisable configuration for companies. In fact Zero Trust essentially demands configurations like this. When Bob from Marketing fires up his VPN to the Corporate Office he doesn’t need access to every server and desktop there nor does his laptop need to be able to access the laptops of other VPN users. They get access to what they need and nothing more.

Hell the ability to access the internet via the tunnel, called Split Tunneling, is also controllable.

It’s that ability to control where the tunnel terminates that allows consumer VPNs, like Proton, to be used the way they are.

So while private individuals absolutely do use VPNs as an ersatz replacement for Proxy Servers they are nowhere near the whole use case for VPNs.

Surprisingly the rear axle is driven! I had to look this thing up to find out WTF it was.

Impractical as heck but cool looking.

That dedication is how you know they actually use Slackware.

I don’t understand the “If you really want to hurt your parents” part of this. As a parent myself why would I be hurt if my child went into the arts? I think it’s cool AF that my kid with a Chem E degree plays piano and guitar!

I think it unlikely that the United States will have a National Digital ID system anytime “soon”. We may eventually end up with one but I’d be shocked if it doesn’t take at least two decades. As an example the Real ID Act was passed in 2005 and multiple states were still fighting in 2025. It doesn’t even completely take effect until 2027!

I wonder what must happen to roll out more Linux in the public sector.

Endpoint (device) management is mostly a solved a problem, the challenge lies in integrated systems that allow secured, controlled, and constant access to data in a way that is manageable at scale by hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of users.

That is where it gets wicked difficult and is what @Alaknar@sopuli.xyz is referencing. To my knowledge there is no real F/OSS equivalent to the tooling that MS Entra provides for IAM, DLP and MDM. You can maybe get close with a full deployment of NextCloud but that’s really only replicating M365 functionality from 15 years ago.

Is it ultimately possible if you piece enough packages and systems together? Probably but it would be a massive plate of spaghetti that only a team of highly experienced *nix managers could hope to properly support.

You can definitely use a full F/OSS stack to replicate the functionality of a Windows Active Directory network but that’s so last century. Today’s organizations, no matter their type or size, demand more and they won’t move to F/OSS unless they can get it.

Same here.

I wonder if I could port Petsci Robots to it.
