265°C is reasonable for a fast CoreXY printer.

A 56k modem is way faster than Meshtastic. It’s more like a 1200 baud modem and everyone in the neighborhood shares the bandwidth.

Making a gun is already illegal in California and Washington. This stupid law won’t make any difference. If someone is willing to break the law to make a gun, they probably are not going to follow this law either. 3D printed guns are rarely used to commit crimes anyways. It takes a lot of time and effort to get one to work well.

This is probably about companies like Bamboo Labs wanting an excuse to lock down printers even more. It will also make it difficult or impossible for smaller companies to sell 3D printers in California to get rid of competition.

You can always just remove microslop from your computer instead.

That idle power consumption doesn’t seem right. That’s less than a Raspberry Pi.

Software algorithms should not be patentable.

Because websites and browsers have gotten way more bloated. If you don’t need a web browser, you can get by with a lot less RAM.

The server version requires 1.5 GB of RAM. That’s still rather bloated considering Debian only requires 512 MB.

Optar would be a much better choice than QR codes if you want to store lots of data on microfiche. It stores about 200 kB per page.

That’s the Unix Epoch. The time and date in Linux and Unix is the number of seconds since then.

Everyone should set it to 1970-01-01.

Access points and routers are usually separate once you get away from the consumer grade stuff. The people that run OPNsense at home often use MikroTik or Ubiquiti access points.

$150 will get you a mini PC that you can run OPNsense on. Hopefully they don’t ban WiFi access points next.

One of the better free options is FreeDNS, but you are limited to 5 records.

If you want your own domain, I would suggest Porkbun. They have an API that can be used for dynamic DNS.

If you don’t want to write native code, then make a PWA. At least those don’t run a separate copy of chrome for each program.

You can use stunnel to make your VPN look like HTTPS.

Most ISPs have remote access to their modems. You should use your own if possible. If you can’t, then put it in bridge mode and connect your own router to it.

Those WiFi SD cards probably aren’t any more secure than the cameras.

If the camera supports downloading video over USB, you can get a USB OTG cable to connect it to a phone or tablet. Otherwise a card reader is the way to go.

If a fediverse server has too many users for the mods to keep up with, they really should close the registration.
