You cant remove pocket and telemetry without recompiling. That's why its not just a config file.

What filament do you want to use? Well tuned PLA might be able to bridge that far, no chance with PETG. What is your maximum acceptable sag?

It seems like the bridge lines do not attach to anything at the very end on the layer below. In Orca Slicer you need to enable "Ensure vertical thickness" to enforce that. I'd also rotate the bridge direction by 90°, this cuts down the length of the longest bridges by half. Bridge line spacing looks good to me. Make sure that the layer on top of the bridge is printed slowly and does not start in the middle, otherwise it will be pushed back and forth.

If it is just a mock-up, consider partially filling the interior or enabling "make overhangs printable". Both will alter geometry, but so will excessive sagging.

A lot of people here commented "I do X and it works for me", but I do not think that is good advice. While it might work fine for that person, there are too many variables that are ignored. Ambient humidity, filament type, printer model, slicer settings, model geometry/details - all of this has an impact on the final print quality.

A more controlled environment removes variables and therefor makes the print result more predictable. Drying filament and storing it properly takes a bit of effort, but it is easy step towards better results.

You don't even need a dedicated dryer, just use your printers headbed, put 1-3 spools on it and a cardboard box with a few vent holes on top. Set the temperature according to the filament and let it run for 8 hours. Afterwards put the spools into a sealed container (4L cereal box works great), add some silica gel and your done. When it cools back down the relative humidity drops below 10% RH, which is so low that most hygrometers wont even measure it.

I'm casually printing PETG at 260°C, over 20mm³/s (about 300mm/s) and archive reproducible near perfect results with next to no stringing. With bare PLA drying may not matter, I've too little experience to give a definitive answer. If you have any composite filament (wood, carbon, sparkle, etc) you definitely should dry it anyway, because you do not know how much the filler changes the properties.

Oh and finally: I place new spools in containers with dry air (a tiny bit of silica gel in them) and measure the equalized humidity after a few days. Most spools were delivered with a humidity of 15-20% RH

But I don't want to exchange is back to fiat, that's the entire point.

Do you what to know the best part about xmr? You can kick and scream and bitch about me using it, but you can't do jack shit about it. Maybe you can lobby at the side of paypal for more regulations, until the enshittification eventually catches up with you. glhf

please do not bring over reddit memes. Eventually someone will not understand the irony and keep doing it for real. thanks

The stupid thing about taxes it that they are complicated by design. This is great for the ruling class because they can afford to hire accountants to exploit loopholes, while us peasants pay the full price. This is "legal" but not necessarily right. Governments had time to level the playing field, make things simpler and close loopholes, but they rather enforce reporting of all transactions above 600USD because it's easier to go after the little guys. Now we're not asking anymore and they go surprised_pikachu.jpg

Taxes are intended to benefit the common good. If you use the money you saved to help and lift up your local community instead of spending it on yourself, it's arguably not even morally wrong.

If you are a company and run a webstore, it could be mandatory that all funds must go through a wallet where the tax authorities have a view key. This would be trivial to enforce with penalties whenever for publicly using addresses that point to other wallets. Peer to peer transactions (for eg. used goods or produce from your garden) are already except from taxes in my jurisdiction, so these transactions can be private.

people willing to exchange it for goods and services Never happened.

This is literally what you do every day. You exchange something for goods and services. This something is money based on it's functional role, not some obscure definitions. To be money, it must be used as money. To be used as money, a group of people must agree that the item is worth exchanging for. This something does need to fulfill additional properties to be useful, notably it must be fungible, durable, portable, recognizable, divisible and have a stable supply. Gold does fit this description, but so does fiat.

What you are describing is a government issued currency, which has some overlap with money, but is not the same thing. Maybe you should research on this stuff.

The idea that money is tied to the state is silly. Many things have been used as money, way before the concept of a "state" existed. Undeniably the money that lasted best across the passage of time is gold. Up until very recently it was the standard to settle cross country currency exchanges with. The value does not come from the state, but from people willing to exchange it for goods and services. Todays fiat money is created at will by a few select people that are not democratically elected. They get to decide how much they debase your savings for the "greater good", while the ones that profit the most are those who control the source.

Most people do not care about their open source, privacy and digital rights, so they only hear and care about crypto when the price jumps or when it is used for crime. Everything else is simply not newsworthy. So you end up with a bunch of "investors" looking to make a quick buck and people who believe to solve crime with more laws (requesting ransoms is already illegal, has existed before crypto and currently gift cards are scammers favorite form of payment).

I never mentioned the price nor suggested investing, because quite frankly, I don't care. What I do care about is giving the few big companies that control the internet as little data and influence as possible, and not processing payments through them is a really important step. So I keep about as much crypto as I keep cash in my wallet, and use it preferably when buying or selling.

I prefer free software not for its price, but for the freedom it gives me. Naturally I donate to these causes roughly what I'd have spend on a commercial one. They however do not need to know who I am, so I exclusively use crypto for that. I made one exception for an organization using paypal, and promptly they pulled address and name from that, gave it to a 3rd party which then send a postcard to me. You could see it as a nice gesture, but I think it's just rude to use data in ways I did not explicitly consented to. Just take your money and leave me in peace.

In a similar manner I like to use it to pay for email, vpn, hosting and other online stuff. In fact this lemmy instance is 100% paid for by microdonations from its users, and because the provider accepts it directly no conversion was needed.

Crypto is not anonymous. Even monero, the most private cryptocurrency, has a feature called "view only wallets", so 3rd party auditing is possible, if not easier then auditing today. Will individuals use it to avoid some taxes? Sure, it gets easier for them. Will corporations avoid more taxes then they already do? Doubtful.
