I went for wireguard VPN instead of exposing services. Its much more safe afaik, but you have to configure each device you want to give access (aka scanning QR code). You also dont need to buy a domain for that. Exposed services would be easier to use, especially if you want to use it on many devices
Prusa is more expensive and better mostly because its built better, not because of software. Any open source (marlin) board can be updated by user and its also easy to flash klipper for example.
Constant readjustments are due to bad design and no QC. If you want more reliable printer dont look for knockoffs. My first printer was prusa knockoff, it looks better than prusa, steel frame with no printed parts, but its not even close. Its collecting dust now
Whats the point of botting posts from reddit to lemmy? Trying to make lemmy more active or something else?
Thx for detailed answer. Il check ot the links
TeamViewer is good until they decide its not personal use anymore. Better go for AnyDesk or even better RustDesk if you need remote desktop. But why not just wireguard or tailscale?

Amazing community, lot of guys there prefer local (non-cloud) services
I would come back here and give 1 mil to everyone who upvote me and 2 mil for op
Hey guys, I have Corsair RM550x that is turning on/off its fan in 65-70 min cycles when PC is on idle. When PSU fan is off I meassure 31W from wall and 21W when fan is off. Other PSUs are not like that and they are around 25W. Funny thing is that fan shouldnt even spin below 220W iirc and I found it hillarius that its using less power when fan is on. PC is working fine, but is this normal?
Edit: specs - MSI Z270-A PRO, intel G3930, 8gb ram, 2 sata SSD and no GPU
Edit 2:
Thank you all for helping me out!
I believe that no flow in case caused PSU overheating and due to lower efficiency at higher temp PSU was using more power. Enabling case fans with small positive pressure fixed the problem immediately and now its stable at 24W on idle. On the next diagram PC was idle for only short period of time, so you can also see power curve when it was running some services, but still "much" less than 30 W.
Edit 3: Before this post I asked Corsair about that, but got only bot level responses. Conversation was going in circle and then I gave up :D
Nothing will beat single board computer like rpi in power consuption, but PC can be efficient as well. For example in my country I pay around 1€ for each Watt a year (average 0.12€/kwh). So rpi is probably 5€ a year and my new server is like 20-30. There are some servers that run at 10W on idle.
Its 5x difference, but I got much better server and still acceptable cost. Having sata potrs will already save you a lot of $ and time since you need additional hardware to use ssd/hdd on rpi, especially if you need more than 1. And then rpi is not that small anymore. Rpi cant transcode at all, but its good enough for direct play. If you get intel cpu with quicksync you should be golden. I didnt test on 4k, but my g3930 can handle 4x 1080p easy.
I used rpi4 with 4gb ram as media/torrent server for few years and it was simple set and foeget setup untill SSD upgrade when it started started acting up. Figured the rpi cant provide enough juice on USB ports and then I got external power HDD case and got more into self hosting. 4GB soon became a bottleneck so I ended up with new PC and I love it. Still using rpi for 2nd pihole and few more services.
I agree with you mate, but how do you deal with long prints like 12 - 24h? Im printing at home for many years and since day 1 I plan to get some fire protection like ampoule. There are no signs of fire hazard in OPs failure, but your comment made me think again and maybe Ill stop being lazy and cheap. Gonna do some research right away
Good to see the prices are going down when everything else is getting crazzy expensive.
I bought some SSD in 2019 worth of 290$ and payed with 0.5 ethereum. That would be 900+$ today kekw
Only real solution is anti musquito net on windows, unless you are willing to move to island or antarctic
Hey guys! Its lovely to see this community is active on lemmy, keep it up!
Just wanted to share my recent project. Low powered PC is ticking inside of this PLA case and its silent home server
Hello lemings and old redditors!
I have counter for each of medication that gets decrement with automations once or twice a day at specific time. That works fine, but now I'd like to see for how many days I have pills left before I have to resupply. For example I take 2 pills of decortin per day and since there are 8 in counter I have enough for next 4 days and that will be on 21.06.2023. But I take 4 pills of envarsus per day and that means I have to resupply in 7 days since there are only 29 pills left. So basically I want a Card on my dashboard with 2 additional columns, how can I do that?
Enclosure will protect printer from dust and it will also keep the ambient temperature more stable. Dont make it hermetic sealed, better add few holes on the front and few on the back for example. I have a low rpm fan with dust filter because I mostly print PLA and in long prints (12h+) temperature can go a bit too high if there is no airflow at all. Keep in mind that enclosure should be removed sometimes for mintainance, removable sides is what you should look for.
You can leave filament on the printer, but if you dont use it for a long time it could get wet and then you have to dry it. Keep the rest of the spools in plastic sealed box or bag and put some silica gel inside.
Full calibration should be done once, but fine tuning when you face some issues or when you change to different brand or filament type. It depends how well the printer is assembled and how experienced you are, it can take only 5 min every few months, but begginers can spend days sometimes.
Extra tips: clean your rails and wheels whenever you can (once a month at least) for dusty garage. Get a kitchen sponge, drill a hole in it and guide filament trough the hole to remove any dust before extruder.
Welcome to the most fun hoby and happy printing!
