Here is all the Stuff I printed with my new P1S thus far!
Since im here, I'll need a bit of advice/guidance tho... For one, sometimes the nozzle doesn't clean itself properly and flings its poop on the bed. From what I read I can put an A1 Nozzle Wiper somewhere to insure it cleans better?
And for the bigger, what I asume to be Issue, even when it wipes itself successfully, there always comes out a large string of Filament afterwards, which the P1S does not try to clean. Then going on to print away with this string still on. It seems very unintentional.
While this is manageable in single colour prints, it makes using the AMS basically impossible, as this happens after every Colour change. This is what the bed looked like after my only proper Multicolour Print...
Anyone faced the same issue who could maybe help me?
I didn't check out what the news about it was but they announced at least half a decade ago that Geralt's story was over and if they're creating another Witcher game, it's going to be Ciri
So I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that Cirilla, daughter of the emperor, the girl with elder blood, groomed by the Witchers to become one of them... MIGHT just be the next protagonist.
And I'm all for it. She's the future, Geralt is the past. I love Geralt, but he's so old and broken by the end of 3, it's not even funny anymore. They could do prequel games with him or something, but not a sequel to 3 at this point.
As a trans man who is active in kink circles, this is one thing that I am constantly advocating for. The good news is that, as far as I can tell, men are more likely to listen and at least attempt to understand and embrace this than they have been in the past. Even compared to just a decade ago, more men are willing to investigate what they are attracted to in other people, regardless of gender, and much more appreciative of compliments from other men.
Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be going through the other videos, and recommending this to others.
PortsInfo is a simple desktop app that shows a list of active network ports on your linux systems.
In other words, it shows you which servers are running on your computer.
It's a graphical equivalent of running netstat -plunt in a terminal.
The app supports quick search with CTRL+F shortcut.
Hopefully this will be useful to newbies and system administrators.

Teaching people to be compassionate out of a promise of reward was always a terrible idea. No society has ever really rewarded kindness.
We should be teaching young people that compassion is an act of rebellion against uncaring systems and always has been.

The use case I have in mind: say for example, I read a lot of articles about a certain topic, such as Linux or chemistry or whatever. I want to combine the articles I write into a singular feed, and for others to be able to follow it. Call it "Alex's Linux Feed".
Another use case: Suppose I follow a news source (like washington post), but maybe I dont like the formatting of their feed. Maybe it does not have the full article, or maybe it is not organized right (sports news is mixed with political news, and I want to separate them right). So I create my own feed where I organize those same posts better.
The reason this would be a platform because the user should not be burdened with hosting it (even if it is not difficult), and it should be searchable.
Is there any platform like this of user created RSS feeds?
You can do basically all of this with Lemmy communities and @bot@rss.ponder.cat.
You can create a community for "Alex's Linux Feed," and add any stuff you want to read to it, and it'll all automatically get posted there from the linked RSS feeds. Then, if you want to create your own feed to organize those posts better, you can create a separate community for that, and hand people out the RSS link for that community, and post stuff to it by crossposting.
The only issue is that I think it's possible that Lemmy hands out feeds that link to the Lemmy discussion, instead of to the underlying article, but I can probably make you an alternate RSS link that will instead link to the underlying article, so you can have that as an alternate feed if you want.
How's that sound?
Unfortunately a great many of them use Sodastream's gas cylinders - after their patent expired and anyone could build a compatible unit - so you might not be able to escape them getting your money when buying CO2 refills, if there isn't another brand of gas cylinder available where you shop.
Sodastream have released a new cylinder design (with a bayonet rather than screw fitting), presumably to again attempt to kill off the market for home refilling from a larger CO2 cylinder, or use in other brands of machines.
All of that said, I do like my Aarke machine.
I don't talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.
My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.
Then I'd be the one starting drama I guess...
I'm looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don't want to work listening to conspiracy theories.
Not no tiny ones either, or they'll still walk up to you with their nonsense. Get some bigass highly visible headphones.
They when they start yapping at you anyway pretend you can't hear them. When they start waving around frantically in front of you, and this is the important part, slowly take off the headphones, look at them sideways and go "huh?". Make them repeat themselves. Don't engage. Get back to work asap with the headphones again.
Eventually they'll tire of this song and dance every time and move on to someone else. Hopefully.
ignoring them is the best thing. when you start feeling super annoyed, thatβs a good time to take a break & walk away for a few mins.
also, the headphones suggestion is on point.
You don't. You care about what you care about.
What you can do is a combination of stone face and meditation.
Stone face is never giving a reaction of any kind. They shoot off their mouth, you just look away, walk away, or stare blankly at them. Should they question it, you just state you're going back to work (if leaving their presence), or "nothing" with nothing else added.
The meditation part is so that you don't crack. You learn to control your breathing, which gives you the later ability to both exist in the now without dwelling on the events of the now, with the side benefit of being able to tune useless signals out.
Both take practice. And they kinda depend on each other. You do stone face without meditation, you end up just eating yourself up inside from the stress. You do meditation without stone face, you end up looking calm and happy, which encourages the behavior.
Now, it's important to remember to do it when a person is voicing their silliness that you agree with, too. See, if you only go blank with one area of politics, or only that person's religious vomit, you end up causing problems for yourself. So hold everyone to the same standard that politics and religion are just utterly useless to bring up around you.
Are there cases where someone is going to push? Sure. You fall back to stating that you're hearing them out, but you have work to do. This does come with the consequence that you're going to have to also stay distant with other conversation and stay on task at work, at least verbally. That can be a loss if the workplace is otherwise relaxed and less "work now scumdog slave!", but it usually ends up being worth that.
Hereβs a hot take: Take shrooms. Youβll understand to your core that literally nothing matters and society is just a game of house that went too far. Thereβs so much you canβt control, so your coworkers political beliefs will seem like a very funny and intricate delusion they hold themselves to.
Of course this might not be your experience, but sometimes things take too much bandwidth in our heads and we hyperfocus on it and then it affects our mental health and personality. A mental shakeup helps reframe everything and Iβve found that my anxiety over how the world is going greatly gets dealt with better in my head after a good trip.
I submit that these songs aren't necessarily terrible but terribly overplayed to the point that they're painful.
I swear half of Mariah Carey's fortune is Christmas songs alone.
Also the whole "Boomers spent their entire lives and our entire lives trying to re-live their own childhood Christmases," since the majority of original Christmas songs are from that period.
Also some people love Christmas music so this could backfire.
I'm just going to say Nightcore.
I get that Nightcore has an audience, but what makes it annoying for me is when I am trying to search for an obscure song and think I've found it, only to realize that it's yet another low-effort nightcore remix.

They want to dissuade buyers by being a conspicuously noisy and annoying neighbor to the point that the house sits empty for a while.
Which, like, if your first thought is to do this, maybe you actually are an annoying neighbor and you're doing everyone a favor by letting them know.
They are going to only get neighbors that also suck, and since it has to sell lower it will lower their own home value.
OP is really punching their own nutsack here.
When German people go to hell, or skiing, they are forced into little tents, served shitty overpriced beer, and are subject to repeated blows to their ears by a type of parasitic earworm whispered fearfully only in dark circles as "schlagermusik".
Once exposed to it, it eats into their brain and gets behind their eyeballs, forcing them to wear manic grins, and tap tables to the weak, incoherent, barely thought out beats drumming mercilessly into what's left of their soul.

Incredible. I wonder what the vocals are.
Speaking of video games, from World of Goo might work if OP wants a bit more subtlety.
The beginning (end is similar) is the only part that's in the game and despite sounding pretty generic it somehow manages to be deeply unsettling in some way.

For me, it has to do with context.
Upbeat pop music while heading to the finish line of a 5k? Pretty good.
Upbeat pop music while I'm waiting in the psychiatrist's office so I can tell them my life is spiraling out of control? Not preferable.

A novelty Christmas song played six months after it spent six plus weeks at number one in the (TOTP) charts. "Aga do" anyone?
[Not sure that any recent charts in this century are worth a damn.]
Why annoying?
Based on what kind of people they are, you might be able to get away with something else. Maybe play some Christian music if you think they don't want to live next to a god-botherer. If you're bible-belt, put one of those 24 hour Mecca livestreams on loud, and go do your grocery shopping or something.
If you want just plain annoying, you can't go wrong with Justin Bieber or tween pop.
The Fediverse is a great system for preventing bad actors from disrupting "real" human-human conversations, because all of the mods, developers and admins are all working out of a desire to connect people (as opposed to "trust and safety" teams more concerned about user retention).
Right now it seems that the Fediverses main protection is that it just isn't a juicy enough target for wide scale spam and bad faith agenda pushers.
But assuming the Fediverse does grow to a significant scale, what (current or future) mechanisms are/could be in place to fend off a flood of AI slop that is hard to distinguish from human? Even the most committed instance admins can only do so much.
For example, I have a feeling all "good" instances in the near future will eventually have to turn on registration applications and only federate with other instances that do the same. But it's not crazy to imagine that GPT could soon outmaneuver most registration questions which means registrations will only slow the growth of the problem but not manage it long-term.
Any thoughts on this topic?
Well, I am not saying that the scenario is a perfect match, just that it reminded me of that:-).
Though to answer your question, if Reddit were all AI slop whereas we were not, then they would be foolish to not exploit (for moar profitz) the source of legitimately true info that could be useful to answer people's questions, e.g. on topics such as whether and how to use Arch Linux btw. π
Agreed. Though it is not just that one isolated user - the admins of Lemmy.ml are quite well-known themselves for administering their server in bad faith as well. The side-bar just says "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmyβs developers" (and then a link to "What is Lemmy.ml" that returns an error when I try to click it - btw for you with an account, does it go anywhere? maybe a community that is only visible to those locally with an account? for me it says "There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room." - but what about when you click it?). And it while people on that instance constantly criticize the USA's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, nonetheless if you whisper a criticism towards the likes of Russia, China, or North Korea, you will be banned even from communities that you have never once visited. That is simply how they do things over there. (further reading, see also so, so very many examples in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or !fediverselore@lemmy.ca or !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works etc.)
Sadly, I am not anywhere close to joking or exaggerating. Also, while they ban people for mentioning that e.g. people died in the Tiananmen Square massacre, they also protect mods who act horribly towards their fellow human being. Here's an interesting example that you can read it for yourself e.g. at https://hexbear.net/post/3706906/5518427 where after the mod told the poster (over a misunderstanding of an in-game event) that he wanted to kill them, and then even the unremoved comments from the mod doubles down with βnono I donβt want to shoot for pointing that itβs a game, I want to shoot you becauseβ¦β, and then later tripled down still further, e.g. stating βI hope you die soon.β). To be clear, this post shows up on hexbear.net (for some reason, despite the original having been removed entirely), but the incident occurred on and the mod is from lemmy.ml - those instances are often intertwined, along with lemmygrad.ml.
So you may want to consider switching instances. A further thought: I am having to reply to you from a different instance than my original comment since I have blocked all users from lemmy.ml (although PieFed's Notifications system is newly implemented and still not fully functional yet, causing me to have to hunt down why I received a Notification for a comment that I could not see:-). You will often face similar prejudice when speaking from that account on that instance - e.g. the apps Sync and Connect can also do such user-blocking of instances, and several instances such as lemmy.cafe and quokk.au and dubvee.org have outright defederated from lemmy.ml entirely. Thus you may sometimes feel like you are speaking into a void and wondering why nobody will respond to you - I am explaining that this may well be a reason why.
I hope that you don't feel that I am picking on you personally, just trying to share that thought that could help you understand the contentious situation between the "tankie" vs. "liberal" instances on the Fediverse:-). If you wanted an instance that is specifically leftist, slrpnk.net seems awesome? In contrast, lemmy.ml merely pretends to be leftist, while actually advocating solely for formerly communist powers, despite them being currently capitalistic, and definitely authoritarian - e.g. you will see people praising the virtues of North Korea there, but nowhere else on the Fediverse that I have yet seen! Although for me, it's not even what those users believe, so much as their improper argumentation form about it, e.g. here's an example from the bad-faith user you mentioned, posted just prior to the USA election, which seems to be an attempt to encourage the BuT bOtH sIdEs EqUaL ThO rhetoric:
And I see this kind of thing so often from users on lemmy.ml, that I just blocked the entire instance - again, I hope you personally don't feel attacked by this, just sharing my reasoning in case that may be helpful for you.π
As you said, a 44k monthly active users plateform is probably not worth investing time from spammers and agenda pushers.
If at some point we'll make it, we'll see. Seems like we are still quite far.
see completely automated commercial spam posts every few days.
Don't get those accounts banned quite fast?
And we all know thereβs already political agenda-pushers. Hell, Lemmy was created by some.
It's community-dependent. Lemmy.ml communities are far from being the most popular on Lemmy: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month
"The fediverse" really can't. That's just the reality of a decentralized system. It's going to be up to individual instances to sort it out.
But that's a good thing, because what it means is that different instances can and will try different approaches, and between them, they'll sooner or later hit on the one(s) that will be most effective.
I don't have the foggiest idea.
And really, if I did have a good idea, I wouldn't post it publicly anyway. That'd just be tipping my hand to the astroturfers.
There are two groups here, bots, and bad actors. We've found that these measures have mostly stopped them both.
Some bots still get through occasionally, but not many compared to before. And some servers have more "lax" application questions, so they let more through.
i only use firefox; are the instance admins able to set it on your account? (because that would make sense)
when i first joined lemmy, i didn't understand how it worked so i would sign up with one instance and; when i could no longer up/downvote; i switched to another instances. it eventually led me to joining .ml and it was here i learned about the bot account setting and saw that it was set on the old accounts that i don't use anymore and i've always wondered why.
All I can say is that in practice, bots can't answer most simple questions in a believable way, especially questions that require actual personal opinions, or that require any context outside of what they were asked.
The most we've seen is that people created seemingly lemmy-specific signup bots, but they always answer questions in the same transparent way.
The blogspam bots that have gotten through (not for many months now here on lemmy.ml) are all transparent, because they all post links to the same domain. All it takes is one report, and we can remove their entire history.
Instead of trying to detect and block it, just disincentivize it.
Most AI spam on social media tries to exploit various systems intended to predict βgoodβ content on the basis of a userβs past content by tracking reputation/karma/etc. Bots build up karma by posting a massive amount of innocuous (but usually insipid) content, then leverage that karma to increase the visibility of malicious content. Both halves of this process result in worse content than if the karma system didnβt exist in the first place.
The fediverse architecture was built from the beginning to allow instance-by-instance exercise of discretion to mute any systemic effects that could take over the network as a whole.
This was I think oriented toward limiting swarming behavior from trolls, but I think it also applies to AI bots.
Right now it seems that the Fediverses main protection is that it just isnβt a juicy enough target for wide scale spam and bad faith agenda pushers.
If you ask me they are already here right now, but I think it's not the architecture of the fediverse, but the judgment of individual mods that have let us down in this case.

I grew up with a family that didn't have a lot of luxuries when I was young. We had three channels on TV, so we didn't spend a lot of time watching TV. So I didn't get to watch a lot of pop culture content for about the first 7 or 8 years of my life.
So one of the first memories I have as a kid is in hearing music on the radio, record player, cassette player or any sound system .... I understood that it was previously recorded and performed by other people somewhere else.
What I thought was that all the sounds were generated by human voices. Guitars? Pianos? Trumpets? Brass sounds? Violins? even Drums or percussion. I thought all of it was people just making sounds with their voices.
I'm Indigenous Canadian so my parents didn't have musical instruments, a couple of uncles played the guitar and fiddle ... but by the time I was young, they no longer played these instruments and had them. I never knew or understood musical instruments really until I was about 8, 9 or ten. Up until then, I just thought all music was just people with amazing and usualy human voices.
Growing up, we had a neighbor in the Air national guard who was a boom operator on KC-135 refuelers, meaning he controlled the boom that comes out the back of the airplane and transfers fuel to other aircraft. The boom operator lays face down on a bench and looks out a window in the back of the plane to control the boom.
When I learned that they "operate on their belly", I somehow interpreted that to mean he performed medical operations on people's bellies.
It didn't even make sense to me at the time but I figured there must be some special reason that the operation had to be done while airborne and I was impressed that our neighbor was not only a doctor but an airborne surgeon who specialized in this one belly surgery that couldn't be done on the ground.
