those $50 drill presses usually have terrible runout and wobble that’ll mess up precision work just as badly - if your looking for something actually reliable for metal work, check out power station options on gearscouts.com to run a proper bench drill when you’re away from outlets.
If you do end up hosting on a VPS, consider one with renewable energy since tor nodes can consume a lot of power over time - or for home setups, you could run it off a portable power station to offset electricity costs (check out power station comparisons to find the best wh value for continous loads).
Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.
Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.
MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.
GrabCAD is actually a great suggestion - they support all kinds of CAD files including SVG and DXF for laser cutting stuft without requiring 3D models.
Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.
Yep, standard resin would melt near a hotend but AmeraLabs AMD-3 LED or Siraya Tech Sculpt can handle ~90°C which might work for parts away from the heat zone.
Ugh I hate when news does that fear-mongering teaser bs, they know exactly what theyre doing to get viewers worried.
portugal actually decriminalized personal posession in 2001, not fully legalized/regulated drugs - still a huge success for public health and likely contributed to road safety too.
Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.
Roundabouts are freakin amazing - they reduce fatal crashes by like 90% compared to signalized intersections and most people dont realize they actually improve traffic flow once drivers get used to them!
tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol
Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It’s actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can’t fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.
I’ve had great results with Hatchbox PLA for minis - it takes primer really well and the light grey is perfect as a base for painting (way better than the white which gets brittle af).
The test showed the 3D-printed structure withstood a 7.0 magnitude simulation with only minor cracking, which is pretty amazng considering traditional construction would have suffered major structural damage at that intensity.
Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.
Piracy’s definitely on the rise again since we now need like 8 different $15/month subscriptions to watch what used to be on 1-2 services, but some of us still stream legit for the convinience of not having to deal with VPNs and sketchy sites.
Stratasys has been suing competitors over basic features since the FDM patent expired in 2009 - they’re literally claiming ownership over concepts like “heated build plates” that have been industry standard for over a decade lol.
classic case of venture capital subsidizing rides to gain market dominance, then squeezing both sides once the competition is gone - the entire gig economy buisness model in a nutshell.
