Yes, and by the sheer existence of the concept of a "death cross", and now that it has happened for the Tesla stock, people will act as if whatever a "death cross" predicts will come to pass. So even though there was some correlation before someone formulated it as a concept, now the response will be different because people will act on it. If enough people believes it, it will probably just accelerate the process as they will seek to sell off before the downturn, pushing the prices down. Which is the way the Tesla stock should go, so I am all for this cross of death.
But Bandcamp Friday still gives all money to the artists, right? Or have they changed this?
Was there not already some deal with the State Department for the purchase of "armored vehicles" from Tesla to the tune of 400 million USD? Or did I just hallucinate that?
ETA: Apprently not true: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/02/14/state-department-armored-teslas/
To a large extent it is, the major difference being that when people take actions based of these signs, it influences which way the chart goes next, unlike the planets, which do not care the slightest what people do based on their actions. Thus you can end up making a lot of money if your actions are 1) correctly anticipating subsequent actions by other people and 2) sufficiently in advance of other actions. Which makes inside trading and pump-and-dump schemes great ways to get filthy rich, if you find yourself in a position to be able to pull that off. Or if you are lucky. Or if you have made a name for yourself and everyone else just assume you know what you are doing and follows (Warren Buffet comes to mind).
I just got my Core One last week (also first time buyer), and my first impressions are very good.
ETA: I got a lot of helpful comments in a thread I posted last year: https://lemmy.ml/post/23563961
RSS-feed of the Lemmy community then?
Interesting, I very rarely see headphone jacks and had noe clue that FM radio in phones was a thing still. Nice resource, bookmarking that for later!
The thing about market bubbles is that there is a lot of money to be made in the inflationary period with sufficient foresight/luck/inside information regarding timing (take your pick as to which is the most important). If they are convinced they can be the ones to cash out big, they are likely not very concerned about preventing a major crash.
Where does that article say anything like that? I could find neither a mention of Sweden nor of the US.
ETA: Hm, how thick do you think the walls would have to be?
Oh, that could be a much better solution. How would you design the reservoir filling system in that case? It would be difficult accessing the rear reservoirs directly, but I could maybe make something with cheap PVC-pipes. Ideally I would fill it from only one point, and I eventually plan to have some sensors measuring the water level in the reservoir(s)
Did you try FreeCAD after v1.0 release? I heard it got more intuitive with the release. I would prefer to stick to FOSS tools, and Fusion360 does also not seem to have a native Linux version?
But yeah, it is the impression I have gotten that FreeCAD is not very easy to get started with and why I thought to stick with what I know (Blender) for my first project.
Thanks!
This is pretty darn ambitious for a starter project. I say this as someone who is trying to get some fancy new 3D printable tomato cages going before the plants get tall and dangerous and I’ve been doing this for a while.
Yeah, I realize it is ambitious, but my inexperience is perhaps making me think this will be doable from the get-go when it's really not? We'll see... I have a limited time before it no longer makes much sense to pursue this this year, so at some point I will need to cut my losses if I haven't gotten anywhere.
So you really probably want to de-complicate this, either by only making planters that are sized for the printer or finding a existing planter that’s the right size but not self-watering and designing just the self-watering part. You’ll probably learn a lot about the right way to do one this year and then next year you can attack the next generation of the planters.
The design itself will be quite uncomplicated: a bottom container which will hold the water, and then some plates that will hold the soil, supported by the cups that will be submersed into the water that will be packed with soil and perforated to allow absorption. I was planning on lining these plates with some soil fabric so I could keep them loose, only with holes cut out for the cups. The reservoir will be filled through a PVC-pipe that leads from the top and down to the reservoir. I will then build this in with wooden panels (loose, as I otherwise would be unable to get the whole thing inside the shelf where these will go).
One of my big problems last year was finding anything of the right dimensions already existing. They will need to fit inside the shelf.
The problem with printing in pieces is that you are going to have to make sure that the joints are strong enough for the weight of the soil. This is why using a ready-made outer container might help. In the same way, what you really want is something finger-ish or jigsaw-ish so that the pieces align themselves more easily and interlock.
The soil container will have a quite broad base compared to the height. The plates that will hold up the soil will be supported by these cups as described above, and I can make these cups as broad as I need. Are PLA or PETG not particularly strong?
How do people achieve these interlocking patterns - standard tools in the software, plugins or do you do this manually?
You will probably want a fatter nozzle, otherwise this is going to take forever to print.
Oh, good point I didn't think about, and adding this to be research list. I guess it is delivered with a 0.6mm nozzle.
PETG seems to have worked fairly well for me for outdoor stuff? Coating or paint or whatnot is handy. You might want to look at the epoxy family? If you can print on the balcony, you might consider ASA which is totally fine for outdoor use with no paint.
Cheers! Two suggestions for PETG, so I should probably order some filament already! And adding epoxy to my research list, thanks :) Printing on the balcony will unfortunately not be an option for now.
FreeCAD is a bit of a learning curve? The thing that FreeCAD would make easier is a parametric model, where you say that you want a 400 x 400 x 300 planter. Except that if you are really serious about making large self-watering planters that are parametric, you are going to end up wanting to write code to make it all happen, which either means the Python in FreeCAD, the Python in Blender, or maybe just use OpenSCAD.
I will need to look into parametric modelling it seems. Python I am very familiar with, so making use of that in modelling would in any case be a good skill to acquire. My instinct was just to add a mesh in Blender and resize to my desired dimensions and that would be good enough. My tolerance for the outer parts here is quite high, but for the joints I would want higher precision. OpenSCAD I have not heard about, so I will check out that.
The dimensions of the planter would be 120x40x40 cm ish (based on eyesight from where I am sitting).
One avenue, which is also too big of an ask for this season, is making a multi-part model to cast the large pieces in concrete.
Oh, interesting - that is far from anything I've considered. But yeah, not quite something I would be ready to tackle for this season.
Another avenue would be to just design around the outside being wood and the 3D printed parts being brackets and jigs and connectors and the self-watering bits.
It is not that far from what I am going for actually, but the self-watering parts is basically a water reservoir, so it would need to be a water-tight container. Had I only been able to find boxes of proper dimensions where I live, I would not even consider trying to 3D-print this. But they are either too tall, too deep or not long enough.
Ambitious early project.
Hehe yeah, I would have gone with something else as my first project had it not been for the fact that I want these planters soon. I had hoped to get the printer earlier, but after asking for advice on my printer purchase here end of last year, I got a compelling advice to at least wait for first reviews before deciding, and by that time Prusa had a backlog on orders.
I’d probably go with petg.
Due it to being outdoors?
There are plenty of good tutorials / suggestions for general water tightness with regards to slicer settings. Water tight joints will be tricky. Consider sanding and then torching them. I’ve had good results with clearcoat spray after sanding pla. May work with petg too.
Nice, will check that out in more details! Are clearcoats typically non-toxic? Torching the joints sounds like a good idea - what would you typically use for that, a standard crème brûlée burner? I plan on making smaller prototypes to test out any concepts out before making a huge one.
Curious why you didn’t go with xl for this? Cost?
Cost is one major reason, the Core One was at the top-end of my budget, but it is not the only one. The Core One otherwise fit my requirements very well, and the XL would also not be able to print this in one go. This is by far the largest pieces I have planned on printing, and all the other prints on my "todo"-list will fit in it just fine. I wanted one with an enclosure, and I didn't like the look of the XL with an enclosure, as it will be quite visible where it will be placed, and I'm the kind of person who would care. And I also believe the footprint of the XL is larger? In that case, I am not so sure if it would even fit on the designated space for it.
Things to consider when printing parts for a self-watering planter?
I am getting my first 3D-printer (a Prusa CORE One) this week! I have tons of ideas that I want to get started with, but the most time-sensitive one is to make some self-watering planters for my balcony (so I can have time to grow some greens in the season). I wanted to do this without a 3D-printer last year, but I could never find any cases close to the right dimensions in the stores, and making the separator between the water reservoir and soil from off-the-shelf parts was not so easy with the cases I did find, so I hope I am able to make something functioning with my 3D-printer this year.
But I'm new to this, and I am looking for some advice to where to get started reading up on different concepts that will be relevant to this project. These are the things I am planning to dive into over the next weeks, and I am sure there are plenty of things I have not thought about at all:
- Splitting and joining 3D-printed objects: The overall base area of the planter is too large for

Make Calculator in KRunner respect system settings for numbers?
I frequently use KRunner to do simple sums when doing my accounting. I keep a ledger with numbers formatted as e.g. 1,000.00. My system settings in KDE for number formatting under Region & Language is set to British English, i.e. the way I want it. However, whenever I copy a sum from KRunner, e.g. "1000.25 + 1000.25", it is copied as "2000,5" (i.e. no thousands-delimiter, wrong decimal point and only one decimal number). It gets a bit annoying to change this manually.
I can't seen to find any specific settings for this in KRunner or the Calculator plugin, and I would expect it to respect KDE's own settings.
Does anyone know how to force KRunner to do my bidding here?
Access to Samsung washers and dryers in HA without SmartThings?
I have a set of Samsung washer and dryer that can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings. I have no interest in making a Samsung account and having my washers and dryers communicate with anything outside of my network.
But since it has some kind of "smart" functionality, I was wondering whether anyone has been able to get this information without ever onboarding it with SmartThings?

Best way to switch a headless server from WiFi to ethernet?
I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.
Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won't have to connect a screen to get direct access.
What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don't want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?
EDIT: I also want to disable the wireless card.

Fixing wrongly set environment variable in Flatseal (when Flatseal won't run)?
SOLVED: BananaTrifleViolin's post contains the solution.
Flatseal won't start by itself anymore, which is a known issue. I got it running by running
undefined
GSK_RENDERER=gl com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
and inspired by a response in the above linked issue, I wanted to add GSK_RENDERER=gl as a variable in Flatseal so I could open it without having to manually run this in the terminal.
However, I seem to have screwed that up, and written GSK_RENDERER=ng instead, because the application still won't run, and now I get the following output anytime I try to open it by the method above:

Epson ET-2815 on Linux - epson-printer-utility not recognizing the printer
After a fairly hassle-free year or so with this Epson ET-2815 printer, the cyan now won't print at all (no lines, no nothing - printing a full cyan page just yields white). I believe the print head is fully clogged and I want to perform a print head cleaning. I need the epson-printer-utility to do so (available from here, manual here), which I did not set up when I initially set up the printer.
I have installed epson-printer-utility as instructed and run it through the terminal, but I am met with a error message saying "The printer was not found". The printer is otherwise found on the network and configured in CUPS, and I can print just fine with it (up until the cyan channel now doesn't work anymore).
I ran across [this old post](https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ep
KDE Wallet suddenly acting up
After a system start today, I was suddenly prompted with KDE Wallet requiring a password. I have not needed this before, and I could not seem to enter a password it would accept ("Error code -9: Read error - possibly incorrect password."). I can't remember setting this up, but it might have been something I did when I first set up my system. However, I would either have remembered it or stored the password in my main password manager, and there is no trace of it there.
To fix this, I created a new wallet and set that to be the default. Now, it works, and it is generally fine as it was not used for much, but I have one big issue: Signal used kwallet as its credentials manager, and now I can't open the Signal database.
Before I accept my losses and recreate the database from scratch, I wanted to know if anyone have experienced anything similar, and if there are some tips to restoring the original keychain? As I said, I don't know the password, so my guess is that I'm outta luck...
Considering the Prusa CORE One as first printer - any reason to reconsider?
I've been waiting to finish up with some major life stuff before diving into the world of 3D printers. Now that is finally behind me, and I am currently trying to find out which printer I want so that I can place an order.
So far I've set my eyes on the new Prusa CORE One. It ticks a lot of the boxes that I think I am after, including:
- As open as I can get (before going into that Voron-stuff, which I think I'm not ready for). I don't want to be bogged down with having to run proprietary slicers through Wine and things like that. I am not sure how big of an issue that is with e.g. Bambu or Creality (if at all), but I've seen enough rug-pulls and enshittification processes that I don't really want to risk that. I want to be sure that I can use FOSS tools such as Blender and FreeCAD for design, and similarly open slicers, and the whole workflow will work just fine.
- As future-proof as I can possibly hope for. I think the upgrade path from the MK4 to CORE One shows that they are se
Linode network spike
I've been stressing out for some hours now, but I think I know what has happened, although there are still some things that's not quite adding up, and was hoping someone could help me get to the bottom of it. The actual question is at the bottom.
First some background I'm self-hosting Nextcloud on a Linode, and was notified that the public out network traffic exceeded my set threshold. I first assumed that I've had a breach on my server, but could find no trace of someone logging in. The reason I now feel at least somewhat easier is:
- No sign of anyone ssh-ing in successfully before the time this happened from /var/logs/auth.log (I guess this is not hard to cover though...)
- ssh through root is disabled - they would have to know my username and my password, which should not be brute-forceable, and the way it's stored in my password manager does not immediately allow linking the two (although, if my password manager is compromised I don't know what to do). I have no other sign
Unreliable samba transfers - common issue?
I'm running Jellyfin on a Debian-server in my home, and I have the associated media folders set up as samba shares so that I can transfer any new media from my laptop to the server through Dolphin (KDE file manager).
This has for the most part worked very well (except slow speeds), but I've had an issue recently where the files are not copied over properly. This resulted in glitches in for example music files that would stop playback. I checked the checksums of some of these files, and they were different from source. Seems like the glitchy files are missing some data, but at no point were I notified about this. It works fine after I removed the files and transferred again, and now the checksums match.
Is this a common issue with samba, or could it be a sign that my HDD is acting up?
Issues with pointer in slideshow remote not showing on external monitor
I have a big presentation coming up, and this is the first time using Linux and Libreoffice for this. I've been using KDE Connect for a long time for many different use cases, but never tested the slideshow remote before now. It works as expected on KDE 6 with Wayland, except for the pointer.
The pointer will only show on my laptop screen, and not on my external monitor. This is naturally where I will show the presentation, so this is where I would want the pointer to show. This is the case regardless of which display is set to be the primary monitor. Screen are set to "Unify outputs".
I found this post explaining the exact same issue from 2020, but there was never a solution to this.
Has anyone run into the same issue and know of a way to get this working?
Updating metadata effectively?
I use Jellyfin for my music collection, and sometimes the album artist and artist fields for the same artist will be populated slightly differently. For instance, I have one case where there are three different ways using &, 'and' and +. I have removed these from my library, updating them with manually with MusicBrainz Picard to use the same spelling, and reuploaded them to my server. However, it uses the old metadata still.
Is there a way to efficiently reset metadata for only certain albums so that these three instances are merged and I can access all three albums from the same album artist?
EDIT: So I managed to get this working now. What worked in the end (unsure if all steps are necessary) was to remove all the files from the server, run a rescan, delete all the albums (they would still be in Jellyfin with a blurred album cover), rescan again, and now the artists would be gone. When I added the albums again, the new metadata would be used.
Seagate OneTouch Hub compatability with Linux?
I am contemplating buying one of the Seagate OneTouch Hub external hard drives as a backup for my media that's currently stored on some other external hard drives connected to my home server since they are always spinning.
My local retailers don't give me many options as far as large storage storage solution goes, and the only other viable option now is a WD My BOOK 14 TB.
However, the retailer I will be buying it from goes out of its way to state that Windows or macOS is required. Is there any reason I should believe that I will run into troubles under Linux? I've had no issues whatsoever with some other Seagate hard drives (Expansion 5 TB), which I just instantly reformat to ext4 and use as normal. My guess is that this is just for the included software? I just want to make sure before I order.
(More long term I will set up a NAS, but for now time to learn and configure is more scarce than money, so I
Want to monitor system usage on my server - Grafana my best option?
The number of containers I'm running on my server keeps increasing, and I want to make sure I'm not pushing it beyond its capabilities. I would like a simple interface accessible on my home network (that does not make any fishy connections out) that shows me CPU and RAM-usage, storage status of my hard drives, and network usage. It should be FOSS, and I want to run it as a Docker container.
Is Grafana the way to go, or are there other options I should consider?
(Partially solved) How to make Godot recognize my NVIDIA card on Linux?
I am running Godot 4.3 on Linux on a laptop with an NVIDIA RTX3050 Ti latop that I can enable through NVIDIA prime-select. When I have this enabled (not on-demand mode), Blender and games launched through Steam have no issue using the NVIDIA card, but Godot still uses the integrated Intel chip.
Is there an easy way to force Godot to switch device?
EDIT: I didn't get the Flatpak working, but instead running the executable downloaded from godotengine.org, it now works.
Best way to transfer Borg backup repository from one server to another?
I want to mirgrate my Nextcloud instance from a VPS to server in my home. I run the Nextcloud AIO Docker container, which uses Borg backup. The backup repo is about ~70 GB.
How would I best go about transferring it? Is using scp a good solution here (in combination with nohup so that I don't have to keep my ssh session active)? Or is there some other best practice way of doing this?
Not really sure I get Wayland
I switched to Linux about 1.5 years ago now when replacing my old Macbook Pro with a Tuxedo Infinity Book. I am super happy with the transition, and for the most part my digital life has severely improved as a result of it. There's one thing in particular though that I haven't fully grasped or understood despite all the talk about it, and that really has mostly caused confusion on my part, and that is Xorg/X11 (I don't know the difference...) vs. Wayland.
I started out with Tuxedo OS 1 and 2 running KDE Plasma 5.x.x, and thus have been on X11 for the most part since switching to Linux. I never dared switching to Wayland myself. However, they somewhat recently started offering optional upgrades to Tuxedo OS 3 running KDE Plasma 6 where Wayland is the default, and I took the plunge. The only real difference I noticed was small annoyances that I had to fix. Glitching windows running on XWayland and having to configure some .desktop-files to force apps to launch natively in Wayland. Ap
Contents of Meta data logs?
I am currently in the process of finally getting rid of my Meta-account. In the process I have requested data extraction. The media stuff was made available pretty quickly, but the data logs are still being processed. Does anyone know what data they actually contain, and whether there's any point in waiting for it?
The reason I ask is that I also recently got a notification saying that will soon train their AI-model on my data which they will use the "legitimate interest" bullshit to do. I want to have my account deleted by the time this will be phased in (towards the end of June).
So now I am in the dilemma of waiting for the data logs to complete (which I don't know how long will take) or just delete my account in hopes that it will be purged before the AI-stuff goes into effect. I am unable to find out exactly what these data logs consists of and whether there is any point in keeping onto them for whatever reason.
Now, whether I can trust that they actually delete the data is an
Site-specific about:config in LibreWolf/Firefox?
I have a specific issue I want to solve right now, but the topic is phrased more generally as I would love the answer to this as well. But this might be an XY-problem because of this, so here's the actual problem I want to solve:
I am using LibreWolf as my main browser, and it has WebGL disabled by default to avoid fingerprinting. I would like to keep it this way, but I am currently also making some internal tools for myself that requires WebGL (map renders with Plotly in Dash).
Is there a way to tell LibreWolf to enable WebGL only for specific sites, so that I don't have to manually toggle this when I want to look at my maps? My initial thought was that this could be solved with a site-specific about:config.
Adding license after some time with no license?
I have previously written a lot of code that is hosted on a public repo on GitHub, but it never had a license. It was written as part of my work while working for a non-commercial academic entity, and I would like to add a license before the link to the repo will be included in something that will be made public, potentially attracting one or two visitors.
This leaves me with a couple of questions:
- Can I just add a license after the fact and it will be valid for all prior work?
- Do I have to make sure the license is included in all branches of the repo, or does this not matter? There are for instance a couple of branches that are used to freeze the state of code at a certain time for reproducibility's sake (I know this could be solved in a better way, but that's how it is).
- I have myself reused some of the code in my current work for a commercial entity (internal analysis work, only distributed within the organization). Should this influence the type of license I choose? I a
