A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

New headline is much more readable:

Canada’s WestJet notifies American travelers whose data was hacked in June breach

The mask is from a Hollow Knight character named Hornet.
Hollow knight is a video game that released in 2017, but they recently released a sequel called “Silksong”.

The linked image is probably some thirsty rule34 depiction of said character.

Make America Israel Again

Aside from adhesion itself, maybe that specific filament is (also) underextruding?
I have has a batch of 1.75mm filament that was actually something like 1.6ish. I tried to have it stick, but nothing worked because it simply wasn’t extruding enough.
I eventually measured it with calipers, set that in the slicer and then it started worked fine.
Similarly, maybe your .2mm nozzle has a partial clog?

Sadly, the CAD software I have the most experience with is SolidWorks. It has its quirks, but I like it and I know my way around.
Which is too bad, because it’s completely absolutely fucking stupidly expensive for any home use.

Not to mention I’ve heard stories of people getting caugth through exported models’ metadata and getting sued for publishing models made with pirated or student versions or whatnot.
I’m not even a business and whilr I have no moral qualms pirating software, I don’t exactly wanna deal with an actively hostile company either.

I’ve switched to onshape for now, but I know enshittification will eventually butcher it too.
There’s a few others I’ve tried that I either can’t get good at, or that simply lack functionality.

I’ve been meaning to try Alibre CAD, but last I checked, their trial thing required back and forth with a rep and I just never bothered.

I don’t even mind paying, yet not $5k yearly or some shit.
If you ever find something, ping me.

Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

Can’t tell if it’s a dumb hacker or a lazy frame job.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

I leave my phone further away.
Close enough that I’ll hear it if there’s an actual emergency, but far enough that I won’t reach for it just because I’m bored.

That’s enough to take care of most of my mindless night scrolling.

If I just can’t fall asleep, sometimes I’ll go drift off in the hammock outside or something that’ll cool my body a bit.
Tbh, sometimes I just rub one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also works as a decongestant.
I’m not a doctor, don’t use this as medical advice.

Ghost licensing is predatory.
It’s easier to just wait until the ghost can be published in the public domain.
Blame Disney.

allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.

If you have a microwave, follow the instructions in the bag.

I don’t have a glass lid

I’ve used a dinner plate as a lid in a pinch.
Careful it might get hot.

Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores’ checkout.

I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
Works fine for online places that only take credit.
You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.

You can still probably get a prepaid credit card…
You just have to pay it upfront before doing the transaction.

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

Older cable management was fucking elegant.
You can’t convince me that cable lacing isn’t fucking fabulous.

They didn’t even care back then, they sure as fuck don’t care now.

You can use an adapter just fine.
Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.
