    Yup. They burn heavy bunker fuel - the sludge that is too bad to be used for anything else.

    Considering the amount of shipping, it's horrendous.

    But - and there's always another view - I don't know how much energy you'd need to use to haul that much cargo by other means like rail and trucks. One container ship carries as much as a thousand trains could carry. Vessels are really, really large, which make them quite effective.

    Oh you sweet summer child 😊

    I get what you mean, I really do, but the mobile launcher is very different from desktop.

    Let me find an image of what a mobile desktop used to look like. It was literally the original Windows95 desktop, complete with recycle bin and start menu and task bar. Now that does not work on a mobile device, and modern phone launchers are light years ahead of those olden days.

    I hope this link works:

    How do you build complex shapes? https://i.imgur.com/gxhThuP.png

    I've made a large number of custom prints, and all of them were created using TinkerCad. It's an amazing toolkit, stupid easy to use but versatile. That is ... until something needs a tiny adjustment somewhere. That's when I feel it would've been neat to use parametric CAD instead. I have spent many hours following Youtube tutorials for Onshape, Fusion, and FreeCAD. Tutorial shapes like a LEGO brick are fairly easy, although I admit that this kind of modeling is a sharp departure from the kid-friendly TinkerCad. My problem is that I don't want to make simple coasters or keychains, but complex shapes like this one. It's a holder/mount for two different kinds of walkie-talkies that I use, and the blue part slides into a tray in my car's dash where it sits nice and snug. **Question: How the hell do I even get started modeling something like this??** There's not a single straight cuboid here. Everything is slightly wedge-shaped. The way I do this in TinkerCad is that I build the hollow first: I made a 3d model of the walkie, a little oversized, set it be hollow, and drop it into the shape - that's the red or orange shells you see.

    How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high?

    I run an old desktop mainboard as my homelab server. It runs Ubuntu smoothly at loads between 0.2 and 3 (whatever unit that is). Problem: Occasionally, the CPU load skyrockets above 400 (yes really), making the machine totally unresponsive. The only solution is the reset button. Solution: - I haven't found what the cause might be, but I think that a reboot every few days would prevent it from ever happening. That could be done easily with a crontab line. - alternatively, I would like to have some dead-simple script running in the background that simply looks at the CPU load and executes a reboot when the load climbs over a given threshold. --> How could such a cpu-load-triggered reboot be implemented? ----- edit: I asked ChatGPT to help me create a script that is started by crontab every X minutes. The script has a kill-threshold that does a kill-9 on the top process, and a higher reboot-threshold that ... reboots the machine. before doing either, or none of these, it will write a log line. I hope this will keep my system running, and I will review the log file to see how it fares. Or, it might inexplicable break my system. Fun!

    Hi all! My very old Mitsubishi Pajero III (V60 from 2000) got a 2" lift kit and now the rear wheels have too much toe-out. The stock tie rods won't adjust far enough and there are no other original "sizes." So I need some aftermarket tie rods for the rear axle. My own research tells me I need a shorter (longer?) version of the original part number MR508134 ([Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/KS1pRLr.png)). **Two questions:** - Am I correct that the rear toe angle is adjusted via this part? - Given that the stock MR508134 is no sufficiently adjustable, what sort of aftermarket part should I be looking for? I'm in Europe. (For the sake of completeness: the front tie rods have adequate adjustment range.)

    TPU slips from extruder - why? [Prusa MINI+]

    _edit: solved by printing at 20% of regular speed. This seems to give the filament enough time to ooze out of the nozzle, and the print result was excellent._ My Prusa MINI+ works like a charm, except with TPU. We have a 5-hour print task that starts well but fails after 2-3 hours because the TPU filament is no longer being pushed into the nozzle; instead it comes out of the extruder! What could be causing this? Is the TPU just too soft and bendy? Is the shape of the extruder housing at fault? It looks as if the TPU gets stuck and is then pushed into the extruder housing when the extruder continues to push. This happens again and again, but it's weird that it works well for hours before failing. The object is basically just a long block, so absolutely straightforward and no retractions. We have checked that the nozzle is clean and has no obstructions. We have opened the extruder every time it happens, and there's no obvious problem to see (see [photo 2 here](https://i.imgur.com/Kx4eQFq.png)). We are considering to print a new lid for the extruder housing, see [photo 3 here](https://i.imgur.com/BPBE45g.png): (1) is the exit hole, and (2) is the cavity where the TPU ends up so it might help to change the lid (3) to a shape that does not leave a cavity there. Or is the problem that the roller (4) is too narrow or too soft? For reference, the filament is [Tinmorry black TPU from Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08HVQF4D8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details).

    [Solved: wet filament] Help me identify the problem: wet filament, bad z-height, or clogged nozzle?

    This is a Prusa MINI+ that has worked flawlessly for 3 months. Suddenly the prints won't stick to the bed, the first layer is all messy and I cancel the print before anything worse happens. - The printer has auto bed leveling so I would rule that out. - The plate is cleaned with 70% IPA, so it's not dirty either. - I have tried to adjust the "Live Z Adjust" while printing that first layer, but no setting works well. - Each filament is printed at recommended temps (+/- 215C) and bed is at 60C. - Out of my 5 spools, only 1 works well: RepRapper 3-color PLA. Even the Prusament PLA fails to stick well, and also eSun PLA+, and eSun matte PLA, and Tinmorry TPU. https://i.imgur.com/MEpK37W.png **Update:** - Thank you all for your kind input. - I washed the plate, and cleaned the nozzle (have no spare nozzle). - I also did a fresh Z-test ([with this object](https://www.printables.com/model/251587-stress-free-first-layer-calibration-in-less-than-5)) using Prusament galaxy silver PLA. - That was successful and showed that my height was already very close to perfect. - Z-test result shows that -1.425 is best. I was off by only 0.025. [Image](blob:https://immich.golfbravo.eu/4ec49cfc-8095-4d4a-ab6f-b2217f511a28) - Started printing an object with eSun matte black PLA but the result was same as in my original photo. - Changed back to the Prusament galaxy silver PLA and the result is perfect. ([image](blob:https://immich.golfbravo.eu/ec480405-f439-43ee-9516-a4a615a04ca7)) So it looks like my filament storage is not up to snuff!

    How to choose next 3D gaming laptop? Need to understand what basic criteria to look for.

    First, apologies if this isn't the best community; please direct me to a better venue if so. **TLDR:** I need to buy 2× used gaming laptops that are powerful enough for 3D-heavy games -- I don't know what to look for? **Situation:** My kids have used Lenovo laptops for their rooms, and after some years, their gaming choices (**BeamNG** and other such 3D-heavy games) mean that old business laptops won't cut it. They need to be replaced (the laptops, not the kids!). **Problem:** Back when I was young, I understood CPU and GPU requirements - these days I don't. *Help!* * An Intel i7 may be great but it may also be several years old. I don't understand the naming anymore. * Most normal laptops have integrated graphics which don't satisfy even most basic GPU requirements. * Real "gaming laptops" are **expensive!** *And I need 2 of them!* Gotta find something used, and I have no idea what search criteria to set.

    What is the purpose of the skirt/brim that is not even touching the object?

    My printer (well, PrusaSlicer) always starts with a line around the object I am printing. See (1) in the image. --Why? What does that do? There is also this line (2) at the front of the bed. --Why? What does that do?

    Am I building a fire hazard?

    Here's a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It's a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides. Is that stupidly dangerous? You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won't stop a fire on its own. Edit: the cabinet has no door, it's always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.

    Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?

    **Background:** - At work we use MS Office, because who doesn't. We used to have a central file server with lots of well sorted directories. - Then *Corporate* decided to ditch that, everything must move into OneDrive so there's always a Data Owner. - The local boss had to move everything from the network share into his own OneDrive, and then share, with each of us, the folders that were relevant to each of us. - This sounds like distributed storage, which is probably smart in some way. In reality, it's shit. Everything is now a link to "corporateName.sharepoint.com" in the browser, and it's a hassle to find that in the file explorer. SOmeone just shared a folder with me. I see it in my browser. How do I get it from the browser into a normal folder view? Should I forget about on-disk storage; is everything today just a browser bookmark? Worse, I have no idea what's where. Some people share some stuff and somehow it ends up in my OneDrive, but what's the context of it? This seems so wrong to me. Am I just not "getting" it??

    Switch controllers vibrate extremely loudly: defective?

    Hi all, I'm not sure what to do here. The controllers vibrate extremely loudly, it sounds like I am shaving my face! I don't remember it being so loud when the thing was new, just two months ago. Is it defective? What's the best way to get warranty replacement? I got it from Amazon but the only course of action there is to send in the whole thing for repair. Is that the best choice?

    [SOLVED] Can't access my site from WAN despite DNS and port forwarding in place. Help? [ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT]

    TLDR: - Update: the server software has a bug about generating+saving certificates. Bug has been reported; as a workaround I added the local IP to my local 'hosts' file so I can continue (but that does not solve it of course). - I suspect there's a problem with running two servers off the same IP address, each with their own DNS name? Problem: - When I enter https://my.domain.abc into Firefox, I get an error ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT instead of seeing the site. Context: - I have a static public IP address, and a Unifi gateway that directs the ports 80,443 to my server at 192.168.1.10 where Nginx Proxy Manager is running as a Docker container. This also gives me a *__Let's Encrypt_* certificate. - I use Cloudflare and have a domain `foo.abc` pointed to my static public IP address. This domain works, and also a number of subdomains with various Docker services. - I have now set up a **second server** running yunohost. I can access this on my local LAN at https://192.168.1.14. - This yunohost is set up with a DynDNS `xyz.nohost.me`. The current certificate is self-signed. - Certain other ports that yunohost wants (22,25,587,993,5222,5269) are also routed directly to 192.168.1.14 by the gateway mentioned above. - All of the above context is OK. Yunohost diagnostics says that *_DNS records are correctly configured_* for this domain. Everything is great (except reverse DNS lookup which is only relevant for outgoing email). Before getting a proper certificate for the yunohost server and its domain, I need to make the yunohost reachable at all, and I don't see what I am missing. What am I missing?

    ELI5: a tool to check my disks while mounted?

    On Windows, we've had the `defrag` tool and others, that happily works on a drive even while it is in use, even the OS disk. On Linux, I know of the `fsck` command but that requires the drive in question to be unmounted. Not great when you want to check a running server. I do not want to stop my server and boot it from USB, just to run a disk check. I can't imagine that's what the data centers are doing, either! Surely some Linux tool exists that can do some basic checks on a running system?

    Just finished wiring the garage to the house - and find that the wire is damaged! Now what?

    I mean, the simplest answer is to **lay a new cable,** and that is definitely what I am going to do - that's not my question. But this is a long run, and it would be neat if I could salvage some of that cable. How can I discover where the cable is damaged? One stupid solution would be to halve the cable and crimp each end, and then test each new cable. Repeat iteratively. I would end up with a few broken cables and a bunch of tested cables, but they might be short. How do the pro's do this? (Short of throwing the whole thing away!)

    CPU load over 70 means I can't even ssh into my server

    *edit: you are right, it's the I/O WAIT that it destroying my performance:* `%Cpu(s): 0,3 us, 0,5 sy, 0,0 ni, 50,1 id, 49,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,1 si, 0,0 st` *I could clearly see it using `nmon > d > l > -` such as was suggested by @SayCyberOnceMore. Not quite sure what to do about it, as it's simply my `sdb1` drive which is a Samsung 1TB 2.5" HDD. I have now ordered a 2TB SSD and maybe I am going to reinstall from scratch on that new drive as sda1. I realize that's just treating the symptom and not the root cause, so I should probably also look for that root cause. But that's for another Lemmy thread!* I really don't understand what is causing this. I run a few very small containers, and everything is fine - but when I start something bigger like Photoprism, Immich, or even MariaDB or PostgreSQL, then something causes the CPU load to rise indefinitely. Notably, the `top` command doesn't show anything special, nothing eats RAM, nothing uses 100% CPU. And yet, the load is rising fast. If I leave it be, my ssh session loses connection. Hopping onto the host itself shows a load of over 50,or even over 70. I don't grok how a system can even get that high at all. My server is an older Intel i7 with 16GB RAM running Ubuntu22. 04 LTS. How can I troubleshoot this, when 'top' doesn't show any culprit and it does not seem to be caused by any one specific container? (this makes me wonder how people can run anything at all off of a Raspberry Pi. My machine isn't "beefy" but a Pi would be so much less.)

    What's the point of Octoprint as a Docker container?

    Having ordered my first 3D printer, I am giddy and preparing various things. I have installed Octoprint on my home server as a Docker container, but when running it, it seems that it wants to have a serial connection to a printer. Octoprint expects to be running on a Raspberry that is connected via its serial interface. What am I missing? The printer I ordered (Prusa Mini) comes with a wifi dongle, so I guess there will be a way to reach it over the network. But that does not automagically mean Octoprint can work with it.

    Please help me choose my first 3D printer, with the features I need

    I am looking to buy a 3D printer for my son (and for myself too). We want to print, not tinker, so it should be something that gives great results right from the start. Can you guide me to a sensible choice? My first choice would have to be the Prusa MK3S Plus but it is outside the price range I am shopping for, except if I buy used -- would that be bad to do? **Realistic choices:** - €380 used Prusa MK3S+, with 10 days printing time - €400 new Prusa Mini+ - €250 new Ender 3 V2 Neo **Criteria:** - High quality, no hassle. I want to print, not tinker. - Preferably (semi)assembled. - Auto bed leveling. - Auto error detection (filament, power, etc.?). - Budget up to 600 EUR/USD including extras, excluding filament. - Speed is not important. - Size is not important. - Must not be cloud-based. **Questions:** - **Surface**?! Smooth, os satin, or textured? (Why) Should I have more than one kind? - (Why) Do I need an enclosure?

    Docker + Nextcloud = why is it so difficult?

    *TLDR: I consistently fail to set up Nextcloud on Docker. Halp pls?* Hi all - please help out a fellow self-hoster, if you have experience with Nextcloud. I have tried several approaches but I fail at various steps. Rather than describe my woes, I hope that I could get a "known good" configuration from the community? **What I have:** - a homelab server and a NAS, wired to a dedicated switch using priority ports. - the server is running Linux, Docker, and NPM proxy which takes care of domains and SSL certs. **What I want:** - a `docker-compose.yml` that sets up Nextcloud *without SSL.* Just that. - *ideally but optionally,* the compose file might include Nextcloud office-components and other neat additions that you have found useful. Your comments, ideas, and other input will be much appreciated!!

    (Why) would it be "bad practice" to separate CPU and storage to separate devices?

    TLDR: I am running some Docker containers on a homelab server, and the containers' volumes are mapped to NFS shares on my NAS. **Is that bad performance?** - I have a Linux PC that acts as my homelab server, and a Synology NAS. - The server is fast but has 100GB SSD. - The NAS is slow(er) but has oodles of storage. - Both devices are wired to their own little gigabit switch, using priority ports. Of course it's slower to run off HDD drives compared to SSD, but I do not have a large SSD. The question is: (why) would it be "bad practice" to separate CPU and storage this way? Isn't that pretty much what a data center also does?

    Can't figure out NFS file sharing

    Sorry, noob here. I have been using Linux for a decade at least, but some basic stuff still stump me. Today, it's file sharing: The idea is that the server is good at CPU and the NAS is good at storage. My NAS does run Docker but the services are slow; and my server runs a bunch of Docker containers just fine but has limited disk space (SSD). **Want:** - Share a directory on my NAS, so that my homelab server can use it. - Security is not important; the share does not need to be locked down. **Have:** - Server+NAS are on their own little 1Gb Cisco switch, so network latency should be minimal. - Linux NAS and Linux server have separate users/UID/GID. Whatever I try, it always ends up with errors about 'access denied' or read-only or something. I conclude that I am not smart enough to figure it out. Help?

    Desktop A/C unit. This can't possibly work! Prove me wrong?

    Prove me wrong, please? *edit: thanks for all the great comments, this is really helpful. My main take-away is that it* does *work, but requires* dry air. *In humid conditions it doesn't really do anything.* Spouse bought this thing that claims to cool the air by blowing across some moist pads. It's about as large as a toaster, and it has a small water tank on the side. The water drips onto the bottom of the device, where it is soaked up by a sort of filter. A fan blows air through the filter. 1. Spouse insists that the AIR gets cooled by evaporation. 2. I say the FILTER gets cooled by evaporation. 3. Spouse says the cooled filter then cools the air, so it works. 4. I say the evaporation pulls heat (and water) from the filter, so the output is actually air that is both warmer and wetter than the input air. That's not A/C, that's a sauna. (Let's ignore the microscopic amount of heat generated by the cheap Chinese fan.) By my reckoning, the only way to cool a ROOM is to transport the heat outside. This does not do that. We can cool OURSELVES by letting a regular fan blow on us = WE are the moist filter, and the evaporation of our sweat cools us. One could argue that the slightly more humid air from this device has a better heat transfer capacity than drier air, but still, it is easier to sweat away heat in dry air than in humid air. Am I crazy? I welcome your judgment!

    Request: file-sharing service

    *edit: thank you for all the great comments! It's going to take a while to chew through the suggestions. I just started testing **picoshare** which is already looking both easy and useful.* Hi all! I am looking for a file-hosting / file-sharing service and hope you guys could recommend something? Features I would like to see: - Docker-compose ready to use. - multi-user, not just for myself. - individual file size >2GB. - shared files should be public, not require a login to download. - optional: secret shares, not listed but public when the link is known. - optional: private shares that require either a password or a login. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
