I don’t know who Bill is, but he’s a dick.

I’d like to watch Arcane, Wheel of Time, and Lower Decks, to name a few.

Breathe cold air, wrapped in warm *chef’s kiss*

Give me a keyboard that shocks me if I use the wrong finger to type a letter.

I think a heat gun would probably work, as suggested elsewhere. A hot surface might transfer its texture to the print?

Oh! I wonder if your printbed could get hot enough to do it?

Otherwise, yeah, 220 -> 400 -> 600 -> 1000 -> 2000 -> 4000 -> 8000 -> 10000 grit might do it.

… That’s like $100,000 a person. Not to mention transportation costs, costs to house them while in custody, cost to apprehend them.

Makes absolutely no sense. Spend $100k on anyone, and you can make them into a valuable, productive member of society (assuming they weren’t already).

I’ve polished to a practically mirror shine with progressively finer and finer grit sandpaper. Took an eternity. Worked for the purple I was using, but it might not work for all colours.

I’ve also tried heating PETG with a butane lighter out of pure frustration. It does work, but the line between restoring the surface finish and deforming the print is very thin.

Oh boy, that brings me back… After they blocked net send, well, let’s just say my school board’s internal single sign-on had an SQL injection vulnerability and plaintext passwords…

Woah there, that’s way too fancy!

I wish that were true…

When you see plain serif black text on a white background *chef’s kiss*

I don’t know creality, but have you checked your first layer calibration and bed levelling?

That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

What advantage does it have over nspawn?

I’ve been playing with systemd-nspawn for my containers recently, and I’ve been enjoying it!

Ironic that one of the biggest complaints about AI these days is that it’s stealing from artists, and the OP couldn’t even follow the CC-BY-NC license that xkcd is released under…

I know it’s a meme right now to hate on pizza parties at work, but in a generally positive work environment when things get a little hectic, I really do appreciate not having to think about lunch for a day.

How does it compare to keycloak?
