The screenshot is a little lackluster but the video below shows it off better. The camera is an APSC sensor but the picture fills a full frame with very little vignetting. Up to 100x it looks pretty good but yeah, the DoF is literally micrometers thick.

FreeCAD has a steep learning curve, I’ve only just started with it, but it seems to cover every possible use case. Good luck!

Just PLA, I’ve only had the printer for a week. It will make it though the winter but I’m not sure about the rest of this summer.

You can import an image to an image plane using the Image Workbench then scale it. After that it can be shown or hidden like any other part of your design so you can just trace over it.

Yup, 2010 B2500.

I plan on cranking out replacement and upgraded parts for it now that I got the stringing under control.

I have an old set of vernier calipers that got me all of the non-curved measurements.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, I ended up using a photo to get the profile into FreeCAD. It’s not a friction fit but with the phone in place it’ll never move.

Chaotic good, right there.

I recently setup Guacamole (Web based VNC/RDP/SSH) with totp and was able to close external SSH access. Now everything I run can sit behind a single reverse proxy, no extra ports.

I found WatchYourLan hosed my PiHole logs. Somehow the WYL instance got its hostname associated with ~10 mac addresses on my lan so more than half of my traffic comes from “watchyourlan.local”. FML

I keep each service separate as far as DBs, if something breaks or get a major upgrade I don’t have to worry about other containers.

Namecheap, cheap, easy to use, easy to setup DDNS, helpful support staff. I have heard horror stories of them selling popular domains out from under their owner but none were recent.

I ran my ssh behind 53 for a while because it’s rarely blocked. A few bots even got it right and figured out it was ssh.

Without being able to set a static ip and forward ports you cant host services and point to them with a domain, like driveway-home.com or something.

But I think cloudflare has a service that lets you connect remotely without needing static ip’s (some one else will know the name). If you were to use that then you can use your laptop to host pretty much anything on the Awesome Selfhosted List.

Device agnosticism. Life is easier when it doesn’t take ONE laptop or phone failure to destroy all your data.

I use LXC for all the reasons most people use Docker, it’s easy to spin up a new service, there are no leftovers when I remove a service, and everything stays separate. What I really like about LXC though is that you can treat containers like VMs, you start it up, attach and install all your software as if it were a real machine. No extra tech to learn.

It’s kinda shitty of them to block the ports that makes up +30 years of what the internet IS. Bell/Rogers want your internet connection to be unidirectional, when you host your own content you don’t consume theirs.

Afaik it’s at the ISP’s digression. Up until I switched, Bell would block ports 21, 22, 53, 80 and 443.

IPv6.

Not even offered in my area 🤡
