Others obviously feel differently because Bambu is popular, but there’s no way I’d ever consider their printers with what I’ve heard about them paving the way for enshittification. Just no interest in supporting those kinds of business practices. Non starter.

They can’t resist the dong

What’s been rough about it, the install process, setup afterwards, or stuff being broken? I have an old 6T and was considering this for fun, but… Might skip if it’s not fun lol

Thanks for replying seriously even though I was being a glib asshole! Sorry for that, I honestly thought your first comment was trolling or something.

I get how good UBI could be for the average American… I’m just extremely skeptical about how it could ever be implemented here, with the attitude people have about “GUBMINT HANDOUTS”. I fully expect our corporate overlords to explain via the media how, if it even got to the point of being seriously discussed anywhere, UBI would mean BROWN PEOPLE LIVING OFF OF YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS, and cue a bunch of dumb fucks calling for their senators to vote against something that could make their own lives better.

I don’t know, good on you for hoping some good might ultimately come of this, but I just can’t picture America learning the right lesson from the consequences of its terrible choices. I mean, what, 49% supported an obviously fascist clown for president, and even after the insanity of only the first few months of this term, still his approval ratings are above 40%? I have no confidence in our people or government.

Hey cool take, quick question though, are you fucking retarded? Thanks! Have a great day 😊

This is just sparkling fascism.

No.

They’re not problems FOR HIM so obviously they’re not problems! Poor people should just not be poor - duh

But why?

Fuck all the way off, asshole! What possible reasons are there to avoid the fucking polio vaccine??

That’s a hell of a leap there chief.

Or the content is encrypted, but the metadata isn’t, so they can market to you based on who you talk to and what they buy, etc.

I don’t know about that - I had my roof replaced (by insurance thankfully) about a year ago, and it was ~26k. HVAC out of pocket a couple years ago was about 15k. Not fun!

Care to elaborate? Everything I’ve ever heard about him makes it sound like he’s a massive piece of shit. You buy his lies about Sandy Hook? Or think it’s fine to make up whatever you want no matter who it hurts, and expect no consequences?

I switched to a paid domain in the last few months and regret not doing it sooner - it just works, and it’s nice knowing that I won’t have to reconfigure all my stuff to point at a different domain name again in the future. Price was maybe $15/year on porkbun - very much worth it imo.

I’ve also used freedns in the past and had no complaints about them, except that I think wildcard subdomains are limited to paid supporters (very cheap though) and at the time my SWAG docker image maybe didn’t support them? It’s been a while. The service was great though. Never had problems like I did with duckdns.

Same here. Mullvad’s awful policy that essentially limits you to having their client installed on 5 machines was also a deal breaker for me. Sure I could have fucked around with managing keys/connections myself, but why bother? I emailed their support about how inconvenient it was, and they told me I was free to pound sand or pay them for another subscription to enjoy the convenience of having their client installed on more devices.

Proton has been great since I switched, and I see no reason to use Mullvad these days.

Question - if your domain registrar has an API to update your A/AAAA records, and your router (or other home server) lets you easily update those records via the API when your public IP changes, is there a benefit to using freedns or any other DDNS service? It seems like you don’t really need them if you own a domain.

Yes, it’s why I stopped using DuckDNS and decided to buy my own domain. I used Porkbun and got a cheap one (~$15/year?). It was super easy, and DNS results are lightning fast now; no timeouts/errors/etc. like when I was using DuckDNS.

My router supports Porkbun for DDNS; it handles updating the A/AAAA records for my domain when my IP changes, but if your router doesn’t have that option, I’m sure there’s a script you could run on a PC or Raspberry Pi, etc. to handle that for you.

I honestly don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner! I’ve changed DDNS providers a few times over the years and it’s always a pain to update everything that references the old names. It’s great having peace of mind knowing that I own the domain now and won’t have to change again (even if I wanted to leave Porkbun, I could just transfer the domain registration to any number of good alternatives and not have to change my domain name).
