Just got my Saturn 4 ultra, and it just doesn't seem to be very good. I'm toying with the idea of sending it back and paying the restocking fee, but that's a lot of money (and shipping fuel, etc, etc) to waste.

Upgraded from a Mars 2 Pro and Mars 4, and I just can't believe how clunky the Saturn is. The build plate is too tall and too crammed into the case to make a decent tilting adapter, and a ton of resin gets wasted when removing parts. The touchscreen UI is almost as bad as the Mars 4, with horrible use of screen space (multiple prints with same name but different date at the end? Too bad, you can't see any part of the title past the first two words) and poorly designed features.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has this printer or a similar one figured out, and is actually enjoying using it.

I didn't know about map complete, thanks!

I'm modelling a pencil holder version of the star projector at the planetarium I volunteer for.

Openscad wanted about 25 gig of RAM to crunch this.

The book "Talking to Strangers" by Malcolm Gladwell does an excellent job of explaining how access to convenient means of suicide increase rates, which contradicts the common argument that suicidal people will find other means to die if guns are less accessible. It turns out suicidal behavior is often situation and time specific, and removing tools for self harm means better chances of improvement.

Hi,

I have a tiny newsfeed community here on SDF. We got a spam comment by another user registered on the instance. Looking at the account, all it does is link spam. Is there a process to flagging the account for moderation at the instance level, rather than flagging to block in individual communities?

Account in question: https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/dordle12

Nope. That website's toxicity was one of the largest hurdles to learning to write software for me.

All those tabs... Lost to time...

Do you use bookmarks? Or just let the browser remember the url to autocomplete?

[-] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

That's.. kinda scary. How much RAM do you have?

[-] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 10 months ago

I dig it, start fresh each time.

Thank you for the link, but it just returns "no data" on my site.

Locally hosted on a not-static IP with cloudflare DNS and their proxy stuff.

[-] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago

Thank you for the advice!

[-] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 months ago

Thank you for the context, that makes sense and it would be difficult to prevent a recycled IP from causing this kind of problem.

Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.

Edit: I found it, apparently the list isn't ordered line-by-line, and sdfpubnix was just crammed beside another community name!


I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. I'm joined to the community, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the list with the other ones. Has this happened for anyone else?

To get here I currently click on @SDF in the "about us" sidebar, and then click sdfpubnix in that account's moderated communities list...

Thumbnails on .GIFs? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hi,

When posting animated images, I see that the file is converted into .webm, but no thumbnail is generated. I'm curious if that's just me, or the case for others, or intentional.

We are dealing with not one but two unreliable narrators: Musk and Isaacson himself.
