If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.

Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.

I’m not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I’m currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)

Not hatchbox, that’s for sure.

I second callcc’s suggestions. I don’t think it’s a slicer or hardware issue, just optimizing your print parameters for the filament.

It looks like it’s happening at about the area of steepest overhang and while going around a corner. Is it possible the bead of filament is not grabbing onto the previous layer and dragging/sagging?

Maybe try slowing down the print speed a bit and/or increasing fan speed.

Fair point, now try weighting it by “per capita climate impact” or some other factor as vague as “enough money to make choices to reduce climate change”.

Slippery slope argument aside, what does having information about the consequences of your choice have to do with how personal the choice is?

I’d wager most people who are thinking about having a kid have not thought much about the impacts outside of their own personal life, or only about the potential positive impacts. Fact is the world really doesn’t really need more people, and if you’re serious about making a better future for humanity, you’d at least consider the impacts of having more than a couple kids.

And just to head off any semantic argument, when I say the world doesn’t need more people, I’m saying 8 billion is plenty of humans, not that we should just stop reproducing.

What are you on about?? It takes a little over 2 kids per child-producing couple just to sustain the population flat. Does that sound dystopian to you? Sounds like the average suburban family to me.

Who exactly are we saving the planet FOR?

Uhhhh… those hundreds of millions of kids born each year, exploding population or not, are the ones we are saving the planet for.

Why not? Choosing to have 1 child instead of 2 (or zero instead of 1) is generally considered a legally/ethically/morally acceptable choice. On the other hand stabbing someone (or yourself) with a carbon-neutral knife is generally not. Actually committing suicide would be less effective than having a child, unless you were able go back in time and kill yourself as a newborn.
