I was looking for something similar for a while, like something for simple relational data with some GUI for data entry, aka “I don’t wanna write a little web app just for this”. I had used AirTable at work before at work so that’s what came to mind and my searching was basically for “open source or selfhosted alternative to AirTable”.

Came across some decent candidates, can’t remember all the names, but the one I tried, Grist, was pretty straightforward and did the job: easy relational data setup, GUI for all basic data types including file uploads, easy to create input forms, and widgets that talk to the API and you can customize with JavaScript. Setup was easy with docker

EDIT: other names that came up when looking were NocoDB and BaseRow ( I don’t remember why I didn’t try them for my specific needs)

I just started using both recently and it’s great. For the fzf file search, there’s even some extension that can show a preview pane of text files and even images!

Same here, I have chromium installed basically just for teams usage

Lol yeah that too

Honestly my biggest issue is with not moderating out the dozens of ridiculous entries that are either unrelated or just tinkercad screenshots of unprintable objects that were slapped together without even knowing how to use the align tool. Bonus for the ones that are not even screenshots but photos of someone’s monitor showing their ridiculous tinkercad thing. Like, what are they thinking? Why even submit?

I like contests as curated collections for me to browse through, and the scrolling through all that crap kinda annoys me. Maybe they’re curating them out now, it’s been a while since I looked through them. I know it’s a minor pet peeve thing lol

Just had to look it up, never heard of it! Thanks for the suggestion.

I live in high humidity, so that’s a big part of my setup. I print from a custom dryer with 4 spools in it, which feed to the printer through PTFE bowden tubes. I have a wifi switch for the dryer that just turns on once in a while to keep the ones sitting there from getting wet by keeping the inside of the dryer, well, dry. I store all my filament in containers with a 3d printed silica containers that go into the spool. I use the “rechargeable” silica beads that change color when saturated. Once in a while, when I see that the beads are turning blue in the containers from opening and closing, I will do a drying session where I dry all the silica containers and the spools for a good while and put them all back into the containers. Can be a bit overkill, but it fully eliminates that factor for me!

Never thought of this, and if someone told me , I would doubt it works, but he did it. That’s pretty neat!

Never heard of mktemp before, that’s need. Come to think of it I never thought about how /tmp is really used by the system in the first place, time to do do studying I guess

IIRC, Azure represents the largest slice of Microsoft’s revenue… And ironically, a fair chunk of that is run on Linux

Oh wow, that’s crazy, cutting a notch! Yeah, I only considered the nozzle, not all the other parts…

Can you expand on the glow in the dark filament? Are you talking about abrasion/safety of your extruder, or safety of handling etc. I am not concerned about my extruder seeing that I am using a tungsten carbide nozzle, but I have made GITD stuff for kids (older ones, not young enough to be putting stuff in their mouth lol)

Oh wait, I misread (or assumed) that’s what they were talking about! Dang… BTW, in my case it works if you drag the file in, and then hold it there for like 5+ seconds until the UI reacts so you can drop

Oh, it wasn’t just me!

Oh that’s neat! Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm I am on EndeavourOS and was just gonna wait a little longer, but now I am tempted to just push into the 555 beta. I mean, that’s what btrfs snapshots are for amirite?

Awesome Can’t wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?

Had never heard of mainsail before, looks so nice !

I did a nozzle cam setup with a cheap borescope out of eBay once, and definitely loved watching that first layer. Eventually it gave in to the heat and I haven’t bothered to replace yet though. Also multiple cameras on octopi was a bit of a pain to set up when I did it, but that was 2-3 years ago
