I just searched it a bit, and I think you’re right. I was thinking the paid tier only let you use port forwarding and access their servers optimized for P2P traffic, but it sounds like they actually block P2P traffic on the free tier.

My bad!

Technically you can torrent with it, but the free tier does not include port forwarding, so you will not be able to seed very effectively.

Edit: disregard, I was remembering incorrectly.

I don’t want to be an alarmist

But in that harmacy there’s a harmacist!

Have you looked into Remote Path mappings? I have not had to employ this myself, but my understanding is this allows you to avoid file duplication when your *arr and torrent client are using different filesystems.

Maybe I’m mis-remembering though…

Maybe a dumb question, but have you enabled port forwarding in your torrent client and ensured that the VPN server you are connected to allows port forwarding? Proton has decent documentation on how to do this, but it’s not obvious if you didnt already know you needed port forwarding.

This had me tripped up for nearly a full year after I got back into torrenting.

True… but i mean lasers are cooler by virtue of being lasers. 😁

Personally, I’d be worried about subjecting the printer to the lateral forces and torques a knife would put on a printer that was never designed to contact the workpiece, if you ever wanted to use it for FDM printing again. But maybe that would be a good project for a printer that was already beat up a bit.

Since you mention the Ender 3, mine came bundled with a laser cutter attachment. I have never actually gotten around to using it, so I can’t offer much other than to say that such an official accessory does exist and might be less of a hassle than some of the DIY options you are considering.

Thats true, and a good point.

But as long as you go straight from the original packaging to your dry box, you shouldn’t have to worry much about it ever getting wet to begin with.

There are probably cheaper bulk options–but I personally bought some 50g satchets that change color when they start to saturate, for convenience. 3 of those keep a large bin dry for a few months depending on ambient humidity and how often you open it.

It’s crazy easy too. You can get a decent size plasric tote with weatherproof gasket for about $15-20, and a few packs of reusable dessicant packs will.run another $10-15.

For about $30 all in you can keep 6-8 rolls of filament below 10%RH full time with zero hassle.

I get why the map is upside down… but why is the marina logo right side up??

Right after too-salty popcorn, this is one of my go-tos when watching a movie–especially with a peaty scotch.

This was one of the first that came to my mind as well. It wasn’t till a couple years ago that I learned it was a cover, and I really can’t decide whether I prefer APC’s or Failure’s version.

There is a live recording of Thirteenth Step, where they play it much closer to the original, and it’s the absolute best of both worlds IMO.

Proton VPN absolutely does support port forwarding, just not on the free tier.

100%

I’ve tried explaining this concept to people in my life who insist on considering context when deciding whether to use their turn signal. But about half of them seem stuck on this idea that moving their fingers a few inches is a task that justifies a cost-benefit analysis each time.

I don’t get it, man…

Looks great, man! In this guy’s humble opinion, it’s just the perfect amount of organized, but not overly fussy, for a compact functional workshop.

Got any before/after pics?

I’m terrible at organizing my workspaces, so I like seeing how other people set up their shops. It gives me neat ideas that I will totally never get around to implementing. Meantime I just spent 20 minutes hunting for that goddamned screwdriver I know I set down on a sbelf between the stack of wall anchor boxes and the bin of random drill bits. Or maybe I left it on the table saw…

Hell, I’ll go against the grain here and say that if my wife wanted to watch porn featuring me, some kind of AI or otherwise manipulated imagery is the only way that’s practically going to happen, and I’d have no issues indulging her in principle.

The main sticking point would be the feasibility of generating that content without feeding my photos to some 3rd party, and more importantly making sure that imagery never leaks outside of her direct personal and private possession.

I’d very much prefer to give consent, but if she were to do it on her own, my main issues would again be around the point above. Otherwise I wouldn’t feel much different than if she told me she got off while imagining me on her minds eye. And the same types of caveats would apply: Me with some anonymous 3rd party? Whatever floats her boat. Me with a specific person, or worse yet, someone we know? That’s when it starts to cross a line.

Great, now that’s in my comment history!

Only thing more embarrassing than breaking a B string is when the G string snaps.

I’ll see myself out…

Beautiful guitar by the way!
