It’s two parts.
The sleeve with the teeth and the adjustable foot. The sleeve is called a captive hammer-in nut, or a blind T-nut.

It’s OK to use 200 instead.

61·3 days agoHow do you secure a Windows PC from hackers?
Turn it off and unplug the power.
But, then you can’t use it.
Precisely.
But …
It’s the only way to secure it.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•PC randomly restarts out of nowhereEnglish
2·4 days agoThat’s a fair comment, but there’s a secondary reason I suggested it, eliminating the OS as a potential cause. If it still crashes while booted into memtest86, it’s much more likely to be a hardware fault, on the other hand, if it stays running overnight, it’s more likely to be software.

4·4 days agoMake a bootable USB or CD with memtest86 and boot from it. Then let it test your memory. Based on what you’re describing, it’s a good candidate for a fault.

3·4 days agoIn other news, Google, Meta and TikTok claim to be victims of scammers who knowingly scheduled those advertisements on their platform and that they removed them as soon as the now fired intern responsible was reported to senior management, vowing to do better in the future.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox Backup Server verifications stupidly slow on S3 storageEnglish
3·4 days agoI apologise, I saw S3, never even noticed the “OVH”, nor had I ever heard of it.
I’ll leave my original reply as is with an added disclaimer for anyone who follows down the same path.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox Backup Server verifications stupidly slow on S3 storageEnglish
31·4 days agoHave a look at your AWS billing console, since data egress is charged and downloading to verify is considered egress.
AWS S3 supports data checksums where a checksum is calculated at AWS, which you can compare against a checksum that you calculate locally.
This is an article that goes into how it works, but I’ve not (yet) tested it, but I’ll be following in your footsteps pretty soon.
As an aside, make sure that versioning is OFF on your backup bucket unless you specifically require and understand it, because even when you delete objects, they persist as a previous, all but invisible, and charged(!), version.
My former backup software “helpfully” enabled versioning and I was left with a $600 monthly bill for six months while there was no actual backup being done due to a local hardware failure, until I figured out what was happening. I used that software for years and shudder to think just how much extra it actually cost.
I will note that while I had a catastrophic hardware failure, I didn’t lose any data.
Finally, if you’re storing data in Glacier, retrieval is charged at different rates, depending on timelines of access, so it might be that your backup software is using the slow tier to “save” you money.
Edit: OP advises that they’re not using AWS, instead they’re using OVH. The object storage solutions appear to be mostly compatible, but I was unable to discover if the OVH implementation supports checksums.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Comprehensive Response to Bambu's AGPLv3 Violations
62·6 days agoNo.
Bambu Studio is forked from PrusaSlicer, licensed under the AGPL.
PrusaSlicer is a fork of Slic3r, also licensed under the AGPL.
Next time the company will write their own code and not steal it from the community, or they’ll comply with the licence under which they’re building their business.
What’s particularly troubling is that this is not the first time that Bambu Labs has done this.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In a domestic fridge, should milk be lined up, oldest to newest from the hinge, or away from the hinge, and why?
1·6 days agoMilk comes in 1.5 litre bottles, there’s two of us, we have it in coffee, tea, omelets , and occasionally in porridge, we shop once a fortnight, you do the maths.

1·6 days agoI would put them on the shelf, but they don’t fit standing up and on more than one occasion they have leaked when lying down, so the door is the least worst option.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Lawful Masses: Bambu Labs AGPL problems just got worse
9·7 days agoI didn’t see any other video in relation to this.
As I understand it, the author of the AGPL has recently posted about software that’s including closed source modules and the person who was told to cease and desist has documented exactly what the issue is based entirely on Bambu Labs’ source code. There’s also discussion about reverse engineering.
I don’t know if any of that is new ground or not, as I said, this is the first video I watched on the topic, it randomly turned up in my feed.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Lawful Masses: Bambu Labs AGPL problems just got worse
27·7 days agoI think that below is probably a fair summary, but I note that I’m a FOSS user and contributor and this is my opinion.
There is a case to be made that there is an AGPL violation here and the documented evidence and commentary is growing.
More people with knowledge on the subject are apparently weighing in.
As a software developer, I think that this case is important because there is a growing trend by companies and individuals to hide source code from the community, even if that software was originally licensed to them under an irrevocable licence. In this case, as I understand it, the Bambu Labs software is a fork of Prussia Slicer, which itself is a fork of Slic3r, all of which is licensed under the AGPL.
