IIRC Beehaw doesn’t federate downvotes. The OP has been pretty heavily downvoted for no valid reason

I’ve tried both on my low powered HTPC and came to the same conclusion - especially noticeable where video acceleration is concerned

Something about that channel feels “off”, don’t know what it is. Maybe all the rants and abundance of negative opinions?? Perhaps it’s the culture difference in how he communicates on camera?

The only positive videos I’ve seen are him moving to macOS, the dell laptop one, and i guess the keyboard one, the other ones seem to be mostly opinion pieces & rants. There are other channels that do a better, more balanced job of this I think

Explains why I was having issues with this in Gnome on my HTPC…

Ended up making a remote button shortcut to maximise and restore apps

I used to have only 4GB in my old Linux HTPC, didn’t take much for it to choke when using the browser. Upgraded to 16GB and no issues since

Absolutely love the ability to share links from my android and have them open automagically on my linux HTPC. Also made a command shortcut for my laptop so I can unlock it from my android. Really versatile

FFmpeg (libavcodec) is just one of 22 codecs that VLC is shipped with

I’m looking into printing with ASA eventually - have you tried skirts on an ASA print? (Not sure what other slicers call it - it’s a wall that is printed around the print to shield drafts)

I don’t have an enclosure on my delta so was considering that as an alternative.

I do something similar for my property’s exterior cameras, which are streamed to my VPS in ‘real-time’.

You will need to re-encode the footage - videos are already pretty well compressed, so traditional compression methods like 7z (lzma), gz, zip etc being layered on top can’t compress them further.

For your solution, I’d probably run a find every minute w/ cron to look for these files in a staging/watch folder, move them to another folder so they aren’t picked up on the next run, then re-encode with ffmpeg. Do note that when you re-encode footage, you always lose quality, even if you’re on a high quality preset.

I have a feeling that the Handbrake project can do this with a watch folder though, so might be worth looking into that. After a quick search this looks easier to setup than my solution:

I had a similar stringing issue with PETG on my flsun Q5, where PLA was printing flawless without any strings whatsoever. Since your SR isn’t a bowden, that mostly rules out retraction distance IMO.

For me I narrowed it down to Z-hop: as the printer was lifting the nozzle slightly to move to another part of the print, molten filament oozed out - sticking to the print, and getting stringed across by the nozzle. I only noticed after recording the print (use at least 60fps to avoid the frame blurring you’ll get at 30> and watching what exactly was happening prior to the stringing. It took about 4 hours to get to that point 😭

If orcaslicer is based on Prusaslicer, wipe on retract with the initial distance set to 100% may not trigger a wipe. Try 70% or 80% instead. There’s another setting somewhere to force retraction when changing layers: enabling this will forcibly honor your wipe retraction preference when changing print layer.

I think you may still get stringing at the really spiky parts of the test print, given there’s no space for a wipe, and that volcano is going to hold way more molten filament than a V6 or similar

Hopefully someone with more experience can add their 2¢, it was pretty difficult to research info online when I had PETG stringing - everything just says “tune your retraction” 😤

Edit: I mixed up the SR with the v400! In that case, Another thing to check is your bowden tube pneumatic couplers - unload the filament and tug lightly on each to see if they’re fitting securely. If they’re loose, your extruder can end up moving the bowden tube itself back and forwards, which affects your retraction

Feed that beast into a CPAP cooling duct setup, the part will pretty much go flying across the room when bridging lol

TIL, thanks for this info

Thank you for the extra info and clarification!

This kind of stuff is making me consider stopping my donations to the Lemmy project, and instead donating to the Sublinks drop-in replacement developed by the programming.dev instance admins

I was curious as to whether this was proprietary or not, but code for some operating system components is available online: https://github.com/DBOS-project

Time will tell as to whether this ends up gaining momentum or not, right now it seems pretty niche… Cloud providers ultimately will need to show interest for this to go anywhere I think

I personally prefer Firefox’s rendering, or even Edge’s old and long deprecated EdgeHTML (Trident fork) renderer.

IME Chrome performs way too much antialiasing on graphics that are not to scale, and their default font hinting technique doesn’t match Windows or even common Linux distro defaults.

It feels a lot like the enhanced speed and performance come from the shortcuts taken in the renderer, akin to Safari… except that Safari also opts to just refuse implementing new APIs and draft specs.

Text heavy sites in particular are not really that nice to read in Chrome for me personally.

It also supports some funky stuff like raw H.264 over UDP if you use ffmpeg to prepend special packets to the start of the video stream (Ideal for a DIY low latency video streaming solution ). If you decrypt digital OTA tv signals (DVB format), VLC will play the live underlying raw mpeg stream just fine.

Truly a swiss army knife of video playback, especially the underutilized network url file open option

Themes and DEs inspired by Mac tend to have a very clear and consistent design language IME

Gnome also falls into the clear and consistent camp too.

I value consistency a lot

Install iptraf on the machine that’s being troublesome, to see if the ping traffic even registers on the interface

From what I understand (based on smaller printed buildings anyway) it’s identical to FDM 3d printing pretty much, except that instead of filament, a massive onsite silo contains a liquefied cement-like mixture. The nozzle also has a valve of some sort to immediately stop flow.

Typically one operator has a computer running the printer host software, and others manually fix-up print errors (and things like blobs) while the mixture is still damp. A paperclip shaped rebar is also inserted into the walls every few layers for additional structural integrity

There are challenges with things like rainfall retention in walls during construction, but various companies have their own way of dealing with that from what I understand…

Due to the mixture it’s usually restricted to walls AFAICT. Overhangs like doorways need beam supports to be inserted into the structure beforehand
