  • I know it’s not the issue here really but

    the container runs as root

    That’s why we need to push for more self hosted containers to support running rootless. There’s no reason for it other than laziness IMHO.

    It’s wild to me how many people will jump through a bunch of other random security hoops but not blink an eye about running containers as root

  • Do NOT buy Creality

  • Yeah honestly I went back and read your OP and it sounds like maybe you straight up got a counterfeit unit or something? That’s wild. If genuine replacement parts don’t fit that’s super whack

  • Something that I’ve learned over the years is that a lot of times what separates cheaper or more expensive brands or higher prestige brands from lower prestige brands is quality control.

    In the world of guitars, for example, you can get some amazing deals if you’re willing to deal with buying a guitar that might need a lot of work to be set up properly after you bring it home. Or maybe you’ll be lucky and the one you get will be totally fine and require zero setup.

    Nowadays for most products I just assume if I’m spending half the money I’m probably not getting half the value. Instead the lower price means I’m accepting the risk of a 70% chance of proper QC’d unit rather than 95% for the more expensive one.

    The problem is it’s basically impossible to know the real rates for these things unless you’re a dealer who sees a high volume and can analyze return rates and stuff so it’s kind of a crapshoot. If I’m buying something I feel confident I can fix or upgrade myself (guitar) I’ll happily save a bunch of money and deal with the risk. A lot of people have that level of experience with 3d printers, and it sounds like you do.

    A lot of other people in this thread are clearly expecting an out of the box experience that is perfect. Which is totally fine, not everyone who prints needs to be an expert. But buying a creality machine as someone who isn’t prepared to do some of their own work fixing issues out of the box is probably a bad idea

  • This thread just reminded me to cancel mine. Good riddance IMHO. I should’ve done it back when they started spamming me with “quests” (aka ads) for Amazon and random fucking gatcha games. Between the privacy stuff and the pressure to monetize, there’s next to no way it’s gonna get better.

  • Latest Epstein Files Include Wild Donald Trump Allegations

    Jump

  • Let me lead by saying I 100% think Trump is a pedo fuck and deserves to rot in jail.

    But the reason why there isn’t talk about an actual conviction from the most sensationalist stuff in the Epstein files is that the most sensationalist stuff all comes from tips or reports given to the FBI or other law enforcement. They haven’t been proven. Nobody wants to hear that because it’s less exciting than reading a headline about how Trump is measuring child vaginas with his finger. It only takes a little bit more effort (actually reading articles rather than headlines) to find out that most of this stuff isn’t in a situation where it could be used in court to convict him currently.

  • Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time

    Jump

  • Legit question, not trying to bait or criticize: how many cases of espionage do you think DHS and ICE are actually successfully investigating and preventing? My gut feeling as a US citizen who pays a reasonable amount of attention to the news is “not many” but I honestly haven’t considered it

  • I’m not even a proton user anymore, for several reasons including the politics of the founder.

    It’s possible to be correct and also a dickhead, as evidenced by the way nanook is behaving in this thread.

  • Hyprland Update

    Jump

  • Just recently switched to Niri myself - I think the fact that Niri inherits a lot from Smithay for compositior stuff really helps. It’s the same compositor base that cosmic DE uses. Sure hyprland has HDR at present and Niri doesn’t, but I think it helps a lot to not build a compositor and a TWM at the same time. vaxry is honestly just doing way too much and it’s unsustainable and new version blow ups like this were inevitable given how big the install base has become and how huge hyprland feature set has gotten

  • Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got?

    Jump

  • I live nearish to a military base so a lot of local businesses have a military/veteran discount.

    At the store I buy dog food at, the staff are so tired of asking about it that they have shortened “are you a member of the military?” to “any military?”

    After I noticed it a few times that every single employee in the store shortened it that way, I started answering “there is one, but I’m not in it.”

    Loooots of blank stares. I stopped since apparently nobody gets it or they don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s the former but idk 🤷

  • I’m not a great example since I’m a lemmy user, Linux user, and a million other things that makes me weird as a computer user. But I do have to exist in the modern world and file paperwork and shit just like everyone else, and I honestly don’t think I’ve had to interact with a docx file in at least 6 or 7 years. It’s all PDFs and web forms. Work is all Google Docs and confluence and that type of shit. It’s probably been 10 years since the last time I even opened an MS word client proper, once I left academia.

    Anyway, I agree with you. Word seems deader than a door nail in terms of any text editing zeitgeist

  • Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans

  • Yeah what a coincidence that all the representatives that broke the shutdown weren’t up for re-election next time. Very convenient! I’m sure there was zero coordination to decide who would break rank.

    But even if there wasn’t any of that, Chuck still bears responsibility for the failure of the shutdown even if you don’t want to admit it.

    Chuck led the shutdown. For better or for worse, it failed to accomplish its goal. Ultimately more responsibility falls on him as minority leader than anyone else. It’s not insane to want someone who coordinates a major gambit like a government shutdown to be capable of keeping the other representatives from breaking rank to accomplish the goal of the shutdown. Coordinating votes is literally a huge part of the job as majority or minority leader. It’s disingenuous to say expecting a party leader in the house to line up votes is contrary to representative democracy.

    Just admit the truth, you’ll suck Chuck off no matter what he does. You’re literally incapable of not sucking his dick

  • If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side?

    Jump

  • Yeah I think it’s reasonable to assume that it could have started but we don’t know about it yet.

    Some people argue that WW2 actually started in the early 1930s with Japan’s incursions into China which ultimately resulted in the second Sino-Japanese war. In 1932 that probably felt a lot like Russia and Ukraine felt to us in 2022. I think the real deciding factor on whether it spirals into a global conflict is the extent to which a bunch of regional conflicts combine into to a global clusterfuck. US shit in South America is not helping. Neither did Israeli shit in Palestine.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_video_games

    Sony has been the publisher for a zillion games via SEI.

    They also literally directly own a bunch of game studios including Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted, all the way back to Crash Bandicoot), Arrowhead Studios (Helldivers), Guerilla Games (Horizon) and now also Bungie (Destiny, Halo). That’s just a few of the big studios they own. Complete list here: https://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-studios-sony/

    Edit: Oh and of course they owned the studio that made Concord (Firewalk Studios)
