Not a lot to this article, but I'm glad he's focused on making Wayland better.
Ok, so... I generally will buy stuff that I think might be a good investment, then sell it at a point where it seems like it's made enough money. When I sell it I reinvest that into vti, with leftover money in spyg.
A recent example was AMD. I bought maybe 100 shares or so of AMD after they were announced as the Tesla supplier, I think 2021? Sold it after it hit 105% ROI. Put most of the money in VTI, the rest of the money in SPYG.
Rinse repeat.
Not rich, but richer than I was.
Also going to throw my vote in for prusa. I've got a few printers, including a vivedino troodon and the prusa has worked it's way into my default printer spot.
It's not just the Foss prusa slicer, it's everything else. All the parts can be purchased or printed, their instructions for assembly are really good, their support responds quickly when needed, etc....
I prefer etf's like vti, or spy. Maybe spyg of you're bold. Be ready to stare at losses though, maybe for a while and ask yourself if you can stomach that.

Thanks for the advice though, I've got a yoga studio customer that had like 20 of these and have been there for several years without issue. Pla is fine for 99% of my customers. No one is maxing out the hold weight, and if someone does I'll offer it in a stronger material.for them

Depending on your needs, I ordered a Lenovo X1 carbon with Fedora on it direct from Lenovo. It is awesome and I'd be surprised if Lenovo doesn't ship to Switzerland.
I also just received a framework 13 for one of my family members and tbh it's pretty amazing. Might be worth looking into a mail forwarding service.
This says it uses the battery from a polestar. So it's not lead acid but lithium. And 79kWh.
I haven't done this yet but I want to bring an auto cannon and set it in the edge
Don't get me wrong, I always wanted one of these, had an f150 back in the day, but these days 420hp isn't even entry level for a lot of basic cars.
Ok, this is something I rabbit holed on. If you want effecient space usage, you really can't beat the Tesla model Y. Especially if you can get a low mileage used one, but be sure to avoid the 7 seat variant.
It has soooo much usable space. I took pictures to give an idea of how it's different than a Ford escape hybrid, which was the other car I was looking at. Side note, hybrids are terrible for space efficiency.
The under floor section, generally where a gas tank would go
Second underfloor section. In a hybrid this is usually where the battery might be.
On top of the tote and toiletries bags/charger three weekend suit cases and assorted crap. Notice how much space is still left there are also two pockets, one on each corner.
Same area, just without stuff.
This would be the front trunk, or where the engine is in a gas car. That's a normal sized ice chest and some random food to the side.
Hard to take a picture of, but there is no drive line or transmission tunnel either, so even more interior space.
Hope this helps visually how space efficient it is.
Edit:
I bought one in 2022 and am averaging about $20/month in charging costs.
I hate them so much. I feel helpless about it.
Project cars 3 in VR is pretty slick. I still think the gran Turismo franchise is tops. I wish there was a pc version or anything similar.

I had a mower I bought in 2001, took it with me for a few moves. Sometime around 2011 it started sputtering and just take running like crap. Tried to drain it, and it basically took so afternoon. But I got it drained and replaced. The filter had disintegrated.
With the electric mower, I've had it since 2013 or so. The battery is finally starting to show its age but it does still work well enough. Still haven't done anything to it. Might replace the blade soon
Trying to run peacock TV on steamdeck
I've tried Firefox, Firefox plus user agent switcher, chrome, no ad blocker, clean container..... No love. Anyone know how to use the steam deck for this?

I made these for a friend but others kept asking me to make more, so I put them on Artisans coop. I've tested them up to 45 pounds so far. What do you all think?
Issues using PVA with a Prusa XL
Hey all, I'm hoping someone who has dealt with this can help me out. I've got a print that would really benefit from soluble supports. I spent some time reading about using PVA picked up SainSmart PVA 500g as it was recommended on a few different places though I didn't think to check, it doesn't have a filament profile in Prusa Slicer, so maybe that was a mistake. I ended up picking the only other PVA filament profile in hopes it was close which I think was PrimaSelect PVA+ or something.
So I spent more time reading and people suggested print it around 190c. What I ended up doing is using the printing profile "soluble interface", which only puts the soluble material between the support and the print. I didn't change too many other settings (slowed down initial layer, turned off wipe tower).
What I found is that the PVA keeps triggering the filament runout sensor on the hotend, so I kept manually feeding it back in but each time it seemed to just run out again.
Additionally, the PVA would come out in big bubbles instead of thin lines. What am I doing wrong?

Is there anything I can do with endless recaptcha's?
I have noticed lately that several sites I've tried to login to, some I already have an account, some I am trying to make a new account give me what seems like endless captchas.
The two notables ones from my memory, Etsy, where I've had an account for years and have 2fa enabled ffs. The other Unity, where I'm trying to make an account to join a friends Organization.
After several minutes the captches just seem to keep going and I get more and more frustrated to the point I just give up and don't login (which is not really an option with my Etsy store).
My setup isn't anything crazy, Firefox, Fedora 40, no vpn's or anything. Always from either my laptop or gaming system.
Does anyone else have this issue? What are the options?
EDIT/UPDATE: I disabled ublock origin long enough and only got one captcha. Seems google is trying to punish people using that. EDIT2: Spoke too soon, got my email verification, clicked through and back to endless captcha's.... ffs
Weird mouse behavior in fedora40/kde
I've just put Fedora40 on my Lenovo legion. I installed kde spin. I've got two strange issues.
The first, when adding file attachments in Firefox, it opens the gnome file manager instead of dolphin. Annoying but not major.
The second, when playing a steam game (fallout4) on multiple monitors, it seems the mouse isn't trapped to the game window, and when it inevitably makes it's way to the second monitor, a click will change focus. For this issue, I have been trying to use the kde window rules, but that doesn't seem to work. Nine of the rules seem to force the mouse to stay in that window.
Is there someone in this community that is willing to test planters for me?
I have a hobby 3d design business where I make things, and I have a lot of planters. When I make a new one the routine is, buy plant, plant it, take pictures, make notes about how well it works or looks.
Sometimes I end up with 3 or 4 iterations of it. I have too many, no WAY to many plants and I can't keep up with the care for them. I'm hoping there are members of this community that would be willing to test stuff for me, take photos and give me feedback. Preferably if you live in the PNW or west coast so shipping doesn't cost a fortune.
For example, right now I'm working on a little shelf that I'm hoping to put smaller, dangly succulents on and I've made two, sent one to a friend and need to test the second one. Message me if you are at all interested.
Asahi Linux on MacBook air questions
I'm debating trying to get my hands on a used m1 or M2 air for the primary use case of leaving it on my couch so I can quickly look stuff up. I thought about going with a chrome book, but all the snapdragon powered ones either have sketchy support or are expensive.
I also want it to have a small form factor so I think I want a MacBook air. I don't have any interest in macos (which I use for work) so I was debating putting Linux on it.
Has anyone had experience with asahi Linux, or the fedora spin? Could you share what works/doesn't etc?
Is there a better option I'm not thinking about?

What's the best way to sell a printer?
I have a trio of identical printers I want to sell. I posted them on Craigslist and got literally no response.
I posted them on eBay and sold one but for 1/4 the asking price. It also cost me a fortune to ship it.
Does anyone here have experience doing this and mind sharing your knowledge?
Lemmy, what did i get in the mail?
Weird story, so about 9 years ago we sold our house to a family member, who rented it out. Those renters reached out to them and said that we got a package. We still live in the area so I went and got it from them.
We have no idea what this is, or who sent it. When I search that sku I can't find much except an article about how Americans are getting sent seeds from China, the return address is from Equatorial Guinea. But even if they are seeds, what are they? Also why?
What you got Lemmy? Maybe put a sarcasm tag on your response if you have a humorous thought. But I really want to know. Google lens thinks they are bugs.
I'd love your input...
I recently (2021/2022) sold my gas cars and bought two EV's. Though I kept my two motorcycles. I've been compiling my thoughts about how it's been so far, and realized I have compiled pages and pages of notes and those notes are all over the place. Just tons of little tiny differences to massive differences in the driving experience. I'd like to share that with this community in a useful way.
I'm not exactly an EV enthusiast, I've had a very long list of enthusiast cars/bikes and when I was young I used to race both autocross and quarter mile. So this basis is where my brain is at.
So my questions for everyone here:
- What should I test/measure?
- What do you want to know?
- What data do you want to see (within reason, I'm not a data scientist)?
EDIT: You guys gave me a great list to start with. Some I'll need to start tracking my driving better so I can answer. I'll get back to you all.
