LetsEncrypt is a good option if you want to set it up yourself. More work than cloudflare though.

IMO there’s no “best” material, they all have advantages and disadvantages. PLA is very rigid, PETG is UV and temperature resistant, ABS is temperature resistant and dissolves in acetone… ABS is tricky to print though, even with an enclosure. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you need the higher temperature resistance or like to tinker.

And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.

I haven’t tried, but it sounds like it’s hard to sell used printers. Maybe it’d be easier to sell the enclosure (less risk for the buyer) and buy the upgrade kit? Either way, it’s not like you wasted your money on the MK4S.

The vulnerability was discovered during a pwn2own competition. The competition was endorsed and probably sponsored by Synology. Not sure what the problem is?

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email… Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn’t consider discord a good alternative.

That depends on your OPSEC.

Isn’t the same true in the EU, then?

You also don’t need to show any ID for a business to meet “know-your-customer” regulations. Can you get a phone number without revealing your identity?

I believe the same is true in the US.

What if the “bag of money” didn’t have any money in it at all, and the cost of recovering and properly disposing of the “bag of money” cost the legal owners more than what the bag and it’s contents are worth?
