I'm not sure if this is helpful to you or not, because it's not what you asked. I just don't mount them on boot though.

I have a script that requires a unique password that decrypts everything that I actually care about. If that hasn't been run, then the server starts emailing me every 15 minutes until I do.

The server is not setup to reboot unless I manually tell it to or there is a power outage, so logging in to run the script has never really been an issue. At most, I've had to SSH in from my phone maybe a handful of times.

That's the point my friend. The articles and the resolutions are mudying the water. Which is easier:

Finding one post that states "on October 12th, my adblocker stopped working and the resolution was to update the block lists."

Searching three months of varied news articles all related to the issue and with completely different resolutions.

Yes, they are rolling these changes out in stages to make it harder for the internet to collectively address the issue.

Trust me, you will get hit eventually.

I've been spending this weekend learning FreeCAD as well. Although I have found it frustrating at times, I've felt like its mostly just very unforgiving about "bad design". For example, freeCAD has been working best for me when I actually sketch every single element out. Every face, every cut, every pocket is part of a sketch and then a 1 step operation. If you design like that then FreeCAD is actually quite powerful, and I'm starting to like it.

I know a bunch of people already told you that they are not the same program, but this is the way I always think about them:

Blender is like modeling with clay. You mold it, push it around, and stick more pieces on here and there.

FreeCAD is like modeling with building blocks. You measure the part you need and select the block's that build that part. You can also swap out blocks for different blocks at any time.

No, they usually are just LED's these days.

What slicer are you using? I'm using Cura and I vaguely remember that being the reason why I didn't do that.

It's an ender 3 pro with the stock hot end, but it's also running klipper and prints at 60mm/s

I also use .6 as my standard nozzle. Since the stuff I print is usually custom brackets and cases, a bigger nozzle would be even more ideal. The problem is my stock heating can't keep up with anything larger than a .6

Yes, but car, home (or renters), and health insurance are required for the average person because all of those have a reasonable chance of absolutely bankrupting a regular person for life at any moment.

The alternative is to pay more taxes and have the government provide the insurance, which may or may not be better. There are pros and cons to both.

Either way though, you need the safety net that insurance provides.

I mean... Yea. Yea it is. They want to:

  1. Fill the thing with ads
  2. Control the entire user experience
  3. Track everything you do in that experience
  4. Prevent users from accessing any low level system changes
  5. Fill the thing with ads

They're not even being subtle about it:

“The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
