  • All the electronics inside are very much capable of combustion.

    Your power supply inside the printer body for example can very much fail and burst into flames.

    And tbh it’s not that uncommon for that to happen with 3d printers. They’re often made with very cheap parts and prone to cheap work on the inside bits.

    Add on how much of a high wattage load they meed to handle for extended periods of time and yeah, sometimes the inner wiring bursts into flames and the whole thing goes up.

    I always recommend keeping a cheap lil smoke alarm directly overhead any 3d printer, seriously. Those fuckers can very much spontaneously burst into flames lol



  • The fact that they prioritized Helluva Boss (which does follow that type of storyline), on their own YouTube (which they have control over), whereas Hazbin was put onto Amazon Prime with only 8 episodes honestly is what I think caused it.

    My gut instinct was to assume they had to agree to certain conditions to get onto Amazon Prime and the money from that is what got us Helluva Boss (which if you haven’t watched that, it’s so fuckin good)


  • It’s a musical, the songs are catchy.

    However I disliked how fast paced the writing was, and how even though it’s called “Hazbin Hotel” and the pilot framed it as a sort of slice of life “bunch weirdos” hanging out and getting redemption, instead that weirdly became the B plot?

    Somehow they took the whole story and shifted it over to the B plot and pulled this other big high stakes thing out as the A plot.

    That’s not really what I was wanting to watch, and it feels a bit like they hit swapped out the story on me, so I kinda got a bit turned off by that.

    I don’t give a shit about some high stakes angels vs demons war end game shit.

    I wanted to see interpersonal relationships of weirdos learning to co-exist.

    Tl;dr: I was expecting something closer to The Good Place, but instead that got side lined by some huge MCU style plot no one asked for.




  • Sometimes its a physical issue in your setup.

    Double check your cable, double check the carriage, and double check the rails, look for potential obstructions.

    I had one print that kept failing in the exact same place each time, couldn’t figure it out, then I watched it live and the dang ribbon itself was physically catching on a specific part of the geometry mid print and then the print would twist a bit, lol.

    Something to consider, I’d recommend visually watching that specific layer when it’s coming up to see if you see something happen.





  • The rabies vaccine seems to have an actually higher negative reaction rate in some pets.

    We have had 2 of 4 of our ferrets react severely to it on the second shot, of the “emergency midnight trip to the vet” variety.

    Here’s key reasons why you can’t compare this to human vaccines:

    1. It’s not covered by health insurance. You too would balk at a covid vaccine if it ran you a $600 or so.

    2. Pets are way more likely to get injured. Even a small child knows not to flip out and bite a doctor, or jump off the table when getting a needle. Your little dumb fuzzbutt on the other hand very well may attempt this…

    3. From what I’ve been told by my vet and some others in the community, the rabies vaccine has an actually higher than usual allergic reaction rate compared to what you are used to seeing. I’ve heard numbers along the lines of 5% to 10%, compared to something like less than 1% of humans reacting to most vaccines.

    4. Emergency midnight hospital trips also aren’t covered, and will run you easily another $1000+, whereas if your kid has an emergency at night you still are covered

    5. Dosing benadryl for a tiny pet is way harder, it’s way riskier and easier to fuck it up and potentially cause harm. As opposed to how a small child can be given a tsp of children’s benadryl, your looking at like 1/10th of a pill for your pet. Better not have shaky hands or your pet is dead… (or be like me and happen to own a jewelery scale so I can precisely get the dose right)

    6. Have you ever even tried to administer benadryl to a pet before? If you haven’t, you have no idea how hard it is. Normally my ferrets are good with meds but benadryl tastes vile to them and they make it very known.

    7. Finally, it’s pretty normal for exotic pets to just… never go outside anyways, my ferrets have the run of the house but they’ve only been outside (not in a kennel) a couple times, and they didn’t really like it much. Spent pretty much the entire time climbing up me to get away from scary noises and hiding in my jacket to get away from the wind. When I opened the door to the house they bolted back inside. We don’t do outside time with em anymore, they just don’t super like it as indoor pets. Too loud, too scary, too cold.

    So yeah, all the above combined perhaps makes it a bit more understandable why people are leaning away from these shots.

    Larger pets like dogs and cats though are much lower risk. They can handle larger doses, aren’t exotic so can be covered by insurance, normally spend lots of time outside, etc etc.

    But rabbits? Ferret? Hedgehogs? Etc etc… naaah not honestly terribly worth it. Huge risk for basically zero reward.

    Your ferret/rabbit that never steps outside isn’t gonna get rabies.




  • I have been using Reolink RC-522s outside in the harsh Canadian cold winters. Even at -40 they kept working and their quality hasn’t degraded.

    I tried out q few options for NVR software, and I’ve settled on Frigate NVR, it was pretty painless to setup and “just worked”.

    Shinobi I found worked at first but three times it shit the bed, silently failed one day, and just stopped working. I’d wipe and re-install and it’d just fail after awhile. Frigate has never had this issue so far.

    I use Power over Ethernet for the cameras, so i only had to run 1 single cable (ethernet) to each camera outside, no need to run high voltage which makes it way easier to install.

    I use a small mini itx PC as the NVR with a 960ti installed in it for transcoding.

    I have a fancy managed 48 port gigabit poe switch which is overkill for just cameras (I have tonnes of other PoE devices on my network as well justifying it), but any “dumb” gigabit poe switch will work for you, as long as you have enough ports for your cameras.

    I personally use kubernetes for my machines running self hosted apps, but for most folks that’s overkill abd you can just use docker compose!



  • The fact you bring up scraping at all indicates you have no idea what this is about.

    Data privacy and protection isn’t about that.

    “Some third party could just…” is indeed trying to whataboutism it, it’s completely irrelevant.

    Other instance owners are completely irrelevant.

    You’ll need to wrap your head around the fact that legally lemmy has to support the takedown request per instance, not federation wide.

    If I truly wanted my data gone I’d have to make the request to each individual server. That’s fine.

    Data privacy and protection compliance means that I can request specifically server A take down my data, and still be fine with server B retaining a copy.

    If I wanted both to drop the data, I’d have to request it from both individually.

    Scrapers aren’t involved here.

    The protection isn’t about “oh no people on the internet can see my posts”

    It’s more about “oh man it came to light Server B’s owner is selling people’s data and I don’t want my data included in that”

    This is a legal requirement, id recommend lemmy instance owners check in with their local lawyers about this, because a lack of compliance could get individual instance owners in hot water, and if multiple large instance owners realize this, it should put more pressure on the debs to fix that shit.


  • ITT: people too focused on Data Privacy with respect to other posters/internet denizens.

    In reality the much bigger concern typically is the literal owner of the servers

    If 1 server owner announces they are now selling off all their copies of raw lemmy data to an AI company to train on, legally by EU data privacy laws users very much would have a leg to stand on to demand their data be deleted and if the server owner doesn’t comply, they could be in very hot water.

    This doesn’t have to be a federated problem.

    You can request Server A delete your records while being cool with Server B keeping them, because Server A is selling your data and B isn’t.

    This delete/request action doesn’t have to propagate, it can be “per server”
