Any UEFI secure boot enabled distro will remove all boot entries without a valid package key or a shim to a valid key.

Glad you got it working.

I am talking about something where there is no research done. No doctors exist in this space.

It doesn’t matter anyways. I found how the model’s last layer of thinking defense gets around the issue. I can turn off most of alignment, but cannot actually fully control it totally unchecked.

You assume much, and are being an ass in my opinion. Believe it or not, science is not always well funded. If you happen to be curious and have the time, it is possible to explore scientifically or even casually within areas that are not well researched. It is possible to have logic skills even without credentials.

We are not in some final state of technology. Anyone saying such nonsense lacks fundamental logic skills.

I do not care about me. I do not have dogma. I’m not interested in recognition. I am willingly to explore in unique ways both artistically as a professional artist, and out of logical curiosity. I have the tools needed to check my results against a control using unrelated sources. The most recent paper on the subject is something I can recreate but explain far better than that paper.

I could not care less what you ultimately think of me, or anything I say. What I care about is that you’re a decent digital neighbor. To be physically disabled in near total social isolation, and have a place like this as my main interaction with other humans, it is a mean prejudice to have some random digital neighbor make such unsolicited malevolent statements assuming my personal motivations without a shred of evidence or decency to engage in questioning. You know absolutely nothing about me, yet you presume a great deal, putting words to my emotions as if you own me.

Sometimes the whole world does seem crazy. So I’m not liking my odds. Thanks for the rational advice.

What if you’ve got no credentials, but the flaw is so serious that it will not matter if known.

This is a true hypothetical curiosity. I do not know anything of value. A bunch of people here like to call me crazy, and I’ve rambled on and on many times in ways that likely confirm their notions. A person like this is not likely to fair very well when operating well outside their social caste unless they already have hand holds on the rungs of the ladder above. Still, there are some rather surprising areas of technology without adequate fundamental research. Perhaps it is hypothetically better to have John Conner in the world of Cyberdyne. If someone had killed Apache early, the Internet would not be the same heaven of democracy, though that is not a very good intuitive scope of analogy. Just something to ponder if one were to be in such a situation.

All technology would instantly halt.

The actual bond wires between the silicon pad and chip packaging for every chip with some kind of leads (feet) is actually an extremely thin thread of pure gold. It has to do with the super tiny size of the actual pads that are being bonded on the die, the robotics, the welding, and the physical properties of the wire connection.

Nah, I think people that have critical thinking skills are not afraid of being wrong, aka their own curiosity and growth. The rest of the world wants simple dichotomous logic and is incapable of constructive engagement. They are simply too narcissistic to process abstract thinking and are looking for any excuse to rot in their dystopian existence.

No one has paid to replace it or has the money to do so. I faced this challenge in bike shops with advertising media. It is risky to accept large stuff like this from brand reps. It comes down to a plan and the level of investment in the product. Looks like someone bought in and had no long term plan for the space. Looks like a business on the threshold of black to red finances.

Poor guy. What a terrible county to live in.

So the trick to sanding longer with abrasives is wet sanding. In addition, in automotive work, a drop of Palmolive dish soap is added to a bucket of water. This addition makes a huge difference.

Overall, the principal of like polishes like is important. In abstract, polish is just fine abrasion. Like your finger prints are around 5k-7k grit equivalent. Rub something long enough and you will both polish and abrade it the same as this grit. The oils in your skin are the polishing agent.

I have played around with 10k grit wet sanding and then machine polishing with a light compound where places I rested my hand showed minor variations after stripping any oils and fillers with wax and grease remover (solvent).

I can think of several aspects to increase the complexity here. One could add inserts into the outer vibrating shell. These could be any materials.

I think the bigger issue will actually be the distance between the object and the shell. You see, the size of the random orbital action is the product of two concentric circles. In the pro automotive world, these are pneumatically driven. There are several models available with different properties related to this motion and the internal balance of the mechanism. Within this range of actuation, it is critical that abrasion does not follow a path of repetition. I think this likely means the shell must be larger than the radius of the largest of these two circles or maybe a more complicated size larger than the combination of overlapping radii including their central connection point. This should enable the part to move within the range of random sanding action. That range means the sanding is over a larger area.

The best shell is likely one with gaps similar to a DA sander with ports for dust collection.

Very little of any fiber touches the actual nozzle during printing. The actual fiber size used in filament is far far smaller than what most people imagine. It is only the waste dust from the production and processing of carbon fiber. All actual fibers of any useful length are sold in industry for use in composites. There are continuous fiber printers, but that is not at all related to what is used in 3d printing. If you actually look at the data from people testing materials, fiber infused materials are always weaker. They print better because they are breaking up the polymer bonds. Lots of people jump on the buzzword thinking it is technomagic mor betterer but do not pay attention to the details. If the fiber had any length to it, it would clog like crazy because a long bunch of fibers distributed in 1.75mm crammed into 0.4mm is never going to happen. It is just like a dust additive that happens to be available and is compatible. So it should be well distributed throughout. With ABS a wipe of acetone should help too, if left to completely flash off the solvent for a week or more. That needs to be super limited though. Acetone tends to get retained in bad bad ways with ABS. It is a massive no no to use in automotive applications.

Not in terms of kernel supported encodings and long term kernel support, from what I have seen. I have not looked into this in depth. However, looking at git repo merged pulls, issues raised, and the lack of any consistent hardware commitments or consensus, implies to me that the hardware is very unstable in the long term. When I see any hardware with mostly only base Debian support, it screams that the hardware is on an orphaned kernel and will likely never get to mainline. The same applies to Arch to a lesser degree. Debian has the primary tool chain for bootstrapping and hardware hacking. When it is the primary option supported, I consider the hardware insecure and unsafe to connect to the internet. I’ve seen a few instances where people are talking about the limited forms of encoding support and the incomplete nature of those that do exist. It is far more important to have hardware that will be supported with mainline kernel security updates and is compatible with the majority of encodings. It would be terrible to find out the thing could not support common audio or video codecs. IIRC there was an issue along these lines with the RISC-V PineTab.

I know the primary goto for RISC-V is SiFive, but I have not seen a goto LTS processor from them in terms of third party consistent use.

Plus, while more open is mor betterer, RISC-V is not full proof from a proprietary blob either. The ISA addresses the monopolistic tyranny and extortion of players like Intel, but there is nothing preventing the inclusion of 3rd party proprietary module blocks. The entire point is to create an open market for the sale and inclusion of IP blocks that are compatible with an open standard. Nothing about these blocks is required to be open. I don’t know if such a thing could be set to a negative ring more privileged than the kernel, but I expect this to be the case.

Most people’s routers are already up 24/7.

We should be able to do our own DNS. Who cares if it is on the wider clearweb. You are paying for an IP address with your internet connection. If you are running a server with verified hardware and signed code, all we need is a half dozen nodes mirroring our own DNS. There must be a backup proxy for the few terrible providers that cause issues with IP. The addresses are not static, but they do not change very often. At worse, you hit a manual button to reset or wait 10 minutes before the DNS updates.

Pipe Pipe is better than Newpipe. I use F-droid’s VLC front end for local music because the built in android back end is VLC. For everything else, in browser

Rπ is proprietary. You really need a hard drive for storage. The point is a TPM based encryption with no user configuration or worry about securing the thing. It just works with no excuses.

It is not about the people that already host. It is about enabling many more by giving them an option to buy a path of least resistance. In exchange, it creates a potential revenue source in a completely untapped demographic. The subscription/donations demographic is like a very unique and niche market. The vast majority of people do not exist within that space. Most people do not have the financial stability to engage like this. It is not that they are unable to accumulate adequate funds, it is that their pay fluctuates over time and their baseline constraints are far more stressful than spending from times of surplus and opportunity. Catering only to those with such surplus and gatekeeping the complexity of self hosting is massively limiting adoption.

The rule in managing a chain of retail stores is that, no matter how you select products to stock in stores, it is impossible to only select products that will all sell on one platform. How you manage the overburden always determines your long term success. You must employ other platforms and demographics to prioritize the mobility of cash flow.

Similarly but inverted, this place has a slice of all demographics. Efforts tailored to the various subsets should tap entirely new potential. A fool imagines they can convert the unstable poor*'r* into a reliable stable income source via donations. Someone like myself has means but not a situation that is compatible. If I have some tangible thing to purchase, I can make that happen. I do not have any subscriptions in life for anything at all. Heck, I won’t even shop on any of my devices I use regularly because I only buy what I intend to go looking to purchase with intent. That is not common, but what is common are spontaneous people that need time to align their finances with their desires. That person is likely to dread paying $5 every month compared to $250 in May when they get a couple thousand dollars on a tax return. Expecting the public to float the stability is stupid. That is not how the real world works. Real businesses always float the overhead. I’m talking about how to free the masses to self host everything for the cost of a nice router spent once with no techno leet filter.
