CAD:

• FreeCAD (bit clunky at times, it forces you into one specific workflow. Its free, open source and what you create with it will always be yours. Its what I use. It feels like C in programming language terms)
• onshape (feels very similar to fusion. Its a smooth experience, runs in the browser and is a nice tool. I liked it and did some cool stuff with it. Only drawback: the free only allows to store files openly, so everyone can see your designs. Kind of open source if you want, but I think files can only be opened with oshape. Its by a team that worked for solidworks. It feels more like python.)
• open s cad (you code your 3d objects. Its rough to learn and build complex parts I guess? But a pretty cool idea. Worth a try!)

SLICERS (all open source) It does not really matter, just try and pick what you like. I used them for fdm only, idk about resin.

• cura (by ultimaker, one of the older brands. Slicer is quite nice, nothing special I guess, just works quite well.
• prusa slicer (by prusa. THE printer brand I think. A bit confusion interface compared to cura I think, works great tho)
• orca slicer (based on slic3r I think? Has supposedly one of the best slicing algorithms if I remember correcly and a lot of settings. The forbidden one (baboo lab slicer) is based on this)
• slic3r (the og slicer of sorts, never tried it)

OTHERS: To control your printer (remotely if it does not offer it out of the box. I tried none of them):

• octoprint (sends live g code to your printer. Offers camera stream. Runs on a raspberry pi)
• mainsail is (controls your printer, if it runs clipper. Supposed to be one for the best I think. Runs on a raspberry as well I think?)
• many new ones have remote controll stuff build in. Prusa offer remote management, same as bamboo, sovol, some enders and anycubic ad well I suppose. Some run in the browser.

To control your printer when fiddling with it, you can send gcode to the printer over serial, if you can connect to it via usb. Can’t name a CLI tool for that from the top of my head.

There are python tools to generate 3d meshes from 2d images. Look at huggingface how to install and use it. There are also tools in the browser. Pretty cool stuff!

Dit feels like a transcription of a video, rather than an article

And im sitting here like: “Uh I really have to try out the new features of 4.0 soon!”

Isn’t matter just a standard, that runs on multiple Protokolls like ZigBee or wifi?

So I am in a vicious cycle. I start doing something, notice there is a better way, change my setup and restart. So from just Ubuntu server, I developed to proxmox. From documenting everything manuall in joplin, i am now using ansible. I started with wireguard, then tailscale with selfhosted headscale. I try to get my setup right on the first try, which i notice is stupid as I am writing. It just hinders me to make progress. I think I should rather try to get it up and running as fast as possible (and securely of cause) to make progress and fail fast maybe? And I like all the changes I made, I think they were the right choice, but its a bit tiering. And I like ansible, I just have the urge to automate absolutely everything, so I can redeploy everything right after I installed proxmox. Which is not necessary at all at this stage, idk :D Maybe someone has some tips how to overcome perfectionism?

That resolves my confusion. I was wandering what is going on, if its a meme or what. But that’s actually pretty funny. Its a way to gatekeep kernel dev for people who are willing to put in effort, which shows it’s important to them making commits more serious I guess? Like it hinders people to do the AI spam shit that curl reported, on the other hand it also hinders getting into Linux dev a bit by making it more complicated than just a little pull request

Caddy is nice and super simple. Only issue I had was: it can’t control domains if its behind a VPN. I use hetzner and they have an API, but the feature is not native to caddy so I would have had to rebuild caddy as an docker image. Rather annoying tbh, because everything else is great about it

Hetzner offers mail hosting, its in the web package included

Sorry, i thought i was clear.

I used the proxmox ve helper script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install ha os.

The local domain does not get resolved how it should, i hoped someone here might have hosted ha in proxmox themselves or ran into a similar problem, or could give me a hint what to check

Thanks for the advice, i was thinking about it anyways :) i used the proxmox ve helper scripts: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install it

My friends had about the same amount oft issues with their thinkpad as me with the fw.

I agree, that there are many issues, but you don’t notice them in daily use.

The support is very good with most people, I seem to have bad luck, but once I got someone helpful, it got solved super quick.

I still recommend fw. I wish they would redo the fw13 and improve upon all the little issues everyone had, but mine still goes strong and I hope it will for many years to come

I would not even say so. It tool me maybe a weekend to und erstand the concepts. I had no other selfhosting experience before. Specialy docker compose is almost plug and play

Im not in this field, but the risk is that flatpak can be distributed by anyone? But flathub provides validated Tag for entities provoding trustworthy flatpaks, no?

i got the latest 2 days ago, so that should not be a problem. idk, i will just disable them i guess

puh, there is a lot in there. anything i should look out for?

i thought about that, because i dont. but on the other hand i dont want to be confused later on when i want to use zfs and it does not work

I think there was something with the screen, trackpad and fingerprint reader? But its long ago, so idk

I get that and I would obviously prefer an completely open source linux. But on the other hand I want stuff to work. I like that for example linux mint and ububtu ask during the installation if you would like to install prorietary stuff as well, which i always click. And who would not?

Oohh, counter strike.

Then find out you cant stream stuff out of the box and find uburnu vor mint? :D ( i would recommend mint, just installed it on my desktop. Laptop still runs ubuntu)
