I got one last week and it's good, real good. But like too good? So I'll never have to worry about bed adhesion, which is not a problem very often but is the most common problem on the stock textured PEI plate that the printer comes with. But with the cool plate I definitely don't have to worry about it. Conversely, I have to worry about getting my prints off the bed without damaging them.

I think what I'm learning is that some prints are more appropriate for one plate and others are better for the other.

Which I think is great! However, I've been donating $5/month for years and they're still trying to charge me $1.99/month. I feel like supporters should be exempt from the fee.

I have yt-dlp but not sure what url to use. Obviously the webpage's url doesn't work. Any ideas?

I've printed probably 5 kilos worth of prints with a lot of success, but exclusively PLA. I'd like to branch out to a new material. Should I start with ABS or TPU?

In light of some of the recent dystopian executive orders, a lot of data is being proactively taken down. I am relying on this data for a report I'm writing at work, and I suspect a lot of others may be relying on it for more important reasons. As such, I created two torrents, one for the data behind the ETC Explorer tool and another for the data behind the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. Here's an article about taking down the latter. My team at work suspects the former will follow soon.

Here are the .torrent files. Please help seed. They're not very large at all, <300 MB.

• All ETC Explorer Data
• Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool

Of course this is worthless without access to these torrents so please distribute them to any groups you think would be interested or otherwise help make them available.

To support Trump's executive order to close DEI Offices, cancel DEI-related trainings, and terminate any DEI contracts, the federal Office of Personnel Management has set up an inbox for federal employees to alert them of any DEI related efforts that should be shut down.

It'd be a shame if this inbox were so flooded with spam that it became unusable.

Wasn't sure of the best community to post this is, so feel free to spread the word elsewhere.

I'm on 3 different private trackers and they're great for shows and movies. Not so much for music.

To be clear, I'm unambiguously NOT interested in inviting anyone to the private trackers which I have invites for because that is explicitly against the rules and I always follow all rules to the letter. Feel free to private message me. Or message me on Signal

I need to replace a faulty breaker. Here's a picture of my main breaker box. There's no master switch that I can see that shuts off power to all of the breakers.

Following the line up and out of the box, it runs along the basement ceiling and out through a hole in the foundation.

Let me know if you need to see something else.

Edit. Resolved! I found a master switch on the outside of the house in a panel adjacent to the meter. Weird that anyone can just walk up to my house and turn all of the power off.

My private trackers do have them but if you're not looking for something specific, it's difficult to just browse. I'm looking for kids audio books to play on long rides. But I'd like a list to browse through and select from rather than thinking of a book and searching for it. Any ideas?

Edit: is there like a Radarr for audiobooks that might make it easier to browse?

I recently set up radarr and sonarr and I noticed that in Qbittorrent, it automatically adds the label/tag/category of 'radarr' or 'tv-sonarr'. (The terminology of label, tag, category changes based on how you're accessing it. It's confusing and makes this hard for me to search). I'd like to auto-tag/label/categorize by indexer because different indexers have different seeding criteria. What is the best way to auto-tag? Is it through radarr and sonarr or through qbittorrent? And where are the settings to control that? Or do I need a plugin or something?

Edit: I asked this in the Radarr Discord and they told me that you cant use Radarr to do this. They suggested setting up qbit_manage to do it.

Can someone point me to a helpful beginners resource explaining some Linux basics? Like what is the difference between "distro", which is what, like Ubuntu, fedora, Debian (? Or is that a category of distro?) And desktop environment which is what, KDE, Lubuntu, gnome? Like I don't even know I have these categories right let alone understand why I'd pick one over another and what practical effects it will have- which apps will I/won't I be able to install, etc...

I'm not expecting anyone to answer these questions for me, but if you could point me to something already written, I'd appreciate it.
