The federal government told [MN] state officials in a letter that it would “bring an end to chaos in Minnesota” if they abide by three of its requests, including giving it access to Minnesota’s voter information.

Smoky Sun - Lemmy.World

[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ec9adb91-b3f1-474c-adc6-89d81fbeaee6.jpeg] Moving picture of the early morning sun affected by the smoke from the Canadian wildfires over a farm field. The levels have been edited slightly to match what my eyes saw. The sun was an intense, piercing red and everything else had a smoky haze that was sharp on the nose, like deeply inhaled black pepper. This is my first post to this forum.

Console display options - Lemmy.World

I have an old PC running a couple of VMs and it has an old 19" display and keyboard for emergencies. It’s text only (80x25, maybe), no Wayland. What cool thing can I put on the display? Are there any text based graphs or charts?

The solution ended up being a setting on the printer that was overriding the firmware setting. I found the answer here.

In case anyone is having the same problem, It seems that the settings stored in the printer overwrides the FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM in the firmware. So I just went the the printer configuration -> advance configuration -> filament and then I changed the runout distance and stored the settings.

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Lemmy.World

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots [https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/950601/]. This article expands on that paper. I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what’s happening around me. Have you tried this? Did you switch back?

BTT Filament Runout Sensor on Ender 3 Pro

BTT Filament Runout Sensor on Ender 3 Pro - Lemmy.World

I’m wondering if anybody has this working on their printer. I have an Ender 3 Pro (v1.5) with the Creality v4.2.2 board. It’s mostly stock. I’m looking to add the BigTreeTech Smart Filament Runout Sensor (v1.0). It’s installed (plugged into the main board, not LCD), but will trigger a runout after a few minutes of a test print and then it seems to go into a loop where it triggers a runout after a few seconds of restarting. I’ve recompiled the firmware (Marlin) from these instructions [https://github.com/bigtreetech/smart-filament-detection-module/blob/master/readme.md]. I saw a post on Amazon indicating that the cable needs rewiring, but can’t find it anymore. Before I go rewiring anything, I was wondering if anybody has this working in their setup and if they did anything different than the instructions. I’m using the Marlin 2.1.2.5 config and updated the following config items: FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7 FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE

NAS NFS user mapping - Lemmy.World

I have a Synology NAS which, among other things, hosts a shared drive. It’s exposed via SMB & NFS. When I mount the share as NFS on my linux machine, the user IDs don’t match and permissions are all messed up. On my old NAS, I had it set up first so when I added users to the linux machine, I picked the user IDs so they’d match, but the Synology has a different starting ID and I don’t want to renumber my users on the client. I’m trying to keep it simple, so I’d rather not delve into the rabbit hole of LDAP, AD or Kerberos. I was debating just mounting CIFS or SMB with a generic user, but that doesn’t feel right. Has anybody done much with user mapping in NFS4? How well does it work? Is there a simple solution? I was hoping for a drop in replacement without a lot of time lost. What do you do on your system? Specs: 4 users, 4 laptops, 1 Apple, 2 windows, 1 linux, 2 linux servers, 1 Synology NAS. 1 overworked admin.

Not another email self-hosting question

Not another email self-hosting question - Lemmy.World

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I’m interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I’d like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I’d like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.

internal certificate distribution?

internal certificate distribution? - Lemmy.World

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I’m using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It’s a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I’m concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?
