these projects just need help. if you find their code repo or matrix or workspace they are often very receptive to specific feedback like this.

open an issue as next step. your critique is valid but critique is only so helpful when you’re a small dev team trying to do ambitious things. would rather see merge requests.

trust us! our logos are blue and our salespeople are bald and/or buff. lol ya

250C is not low temp for 3D printing tho, noticed that in headline.

sure that is low temp for glass aber above the PLA, ABS, ASA temps i run in vorons.

etsy is doing the right thing here. why should you be able to sell stuff you didn’t design there?

the world already has too many plastic articulated dragons. this sort of waste tarnishes reputation of 3d printing as a less wasteful way to create functional parts without shipping, or as an art form.

separate cheap newer N100 cpu node for jellyfin, other encoding

Intel NUC NUC8i5BEHS for k3s control plane, little more expensive but reliable.

i usually replace Thinkcentre fans w noctua for power draw, performance, and noise. and remove wifi module, not needed, draws power, closed blob firmware, is a risk. pops out easy, no config changes needed in Debian.

amazing, well done! i run Debian on cheap used Thinkcentre PCs, run as k3s worker nodes just fine.

use this instead of tailscale or other corporate options. tailscale is going for IPO, their service cannot survive investor greed.

just get a cheap n100 box, don’t overspend

it would be amazing if geerlingguy was the one to make youtube go mask off

ansible has a learning curve but will save you a lot of time in long run over bash.

write playbooks rhat target groups of similar hosts instead of a playbook for each distinct host, target specific hosts with -l flag of ansible-playbook.

look into molecule for testing sooner than later. helps you be more confident your plays will work as expected vs running trial and error on a host and getting it into a bad state. i run on bare metal so more important for my workflow not to wipe a folder with a typo, etc.
