Back in the day, I liked to watch Cory Williams and his SMP Films / Mr Safety / DudeLikeHELLA / TheMeanKitty channels, even if they were sometimes completely ridiculous, they were still fun to watch. When he started to Vlog it was still entertaining. The whole "Moving to Alaska" part was still interesting and weird, and I still liked to watch the videos. For TheMeanKitty, in 2018, Loki and then in 2020 Sparta died, so the channel, for the lack of a better word, was dead as well. But his main Channel then only revolved around doing Family vlogs, then game some Game stuff with Motion Capturing and Game Dev. Moving back to Oklahoma and so on. It wasn't interesting to me anymore, and I slowly lost track. I am glad that he now looks happy, and I wish him all the luck.
Another one would be Joshua Weissman. I really liked his initial content, his recipes and guide videos on how to do all sorts of things, like fermentation, making sourdough, pickling and so on. But, as soon as the channel took off and he hired more people, it became a bit weird. The "witty" comments, many times at the expense of his employees, got annoying. I also don't have that much of a Problem with innuendos, but this was overdone at some point. Looking now at the channel videos, it has heavily changed from the food being the focus to Joshua in the Thumbnails. This might be more of an "algorithm" thing, which I get to soon, but I still don't like it. But soon after that, it got more into the direction of "competition" content, the "But better" part, in which he makes some fast food items at home. While it was still interesting to watch, I think it is misleading because even Joshua struggled with the time to make all that stuff in the time to get it, and that, as a professional chef. Not to mention that the usual other time factors like preparations and clean-up aren't factored in as well. Soon after that, it got the MrBeastification.
Around 2 years ago, the channel and videos shifted to the "I did this" or "I tried that" with him basically going around and trying food stuff, rating them, and practically complaining about them most of the time. Funny enough, the last 22 videos (practically the last 10 months) all start with "I". Because of Popular demand, he also added his recipe channel, but, for me, I already lost interest.
I think the time I unsubscribed was when the interview came out, in which he basically said, "yeah, the purpose was to find something that worked and do that all the time", which means that his style of content wasn't going anywhere. Then also came out the allegations of him treating his employees like shit and stealing recipes. This all led to me not being interested anymore.
According to MAL, the first season sits at 6.44, which would be something I would skip. While there are some Anime I have seen and considered "good" at 6-7 rating, they are not particularly noteworthy. But everyone is different in that case.
But, actually looking at the article, I don't think that the summary of this poster is actually that representory of what the article is about.
First, it lists all Anime that have been released or will/should release this year. This includes the list above since it is the "Fall 2026 Anime release dates". So, it is just a copy-paste from the article of what has been released/will be released this year, not that it is "big".
But the "Top Pics" of the Author(s) (1 writer, 2 contributors) are the following:
I am a part of a couple of self hosting subreddits and I like to explain why things are the way they are because I feel that it is valuable to share that knowledge, even if the person doesn't care about the details initially.
I like to share my knowledge about things that I have used over multiple years, and I also don't like to simple give you the solution because, most of the time, important information will be lost by just saying "do it like this".
But over the last year I had a couple of people mention the typical "ignore all previous instructions" and lately it is just downvotes. No explanation.
People can't detect AI so they see AI in everything.
As someone working in software development, we are required to take part in the security trainings, the usual "don't open things from people you don't know" and "verify that a link is 'known' even if you get something from a person you do know", yada yada. You know the drill.
Recently, I got an email from our Boss saying something about "Here is something that you need to click on so that you are being authorised to do this stuff". Here was my thought process:
This is from the boss's Email. But this cannot be trusted since it can be faked
This is about something we/our software can do. But I don't know why I have to do this, since this isn't really something I am part of or even know anything about
It looks like a legit email
I hovered over the link, which had some weird target location that I didn't know
So, as a good boy, I opened a new Support ticket on IT with a screenshot of the link and said: "Got an email that tells me that I should open this link, but I don't know this link. What should I do?". The response was simple: Mark as Phishing and delete the Mail, done.
2 hours later, I got a message on Teams from IT which said: "Well, apparently that mail you marked as phishing was actually from us (was legit)". Great. Mail is gone now, don't know where Outlook put it, and frankly, I don't care.
If you train your people to "question everything" and not open links they don't know where they are going, then don't use some idiotic "middle man" or referer links in your official emails either. Even better, announce things before sending something out. I don't know how many emails I have gotten over the years where I would question the content and ignore it only for it to be something more important that nobody felt the need to announce first that something like this is coming our way.
I actually like to have an app over just a website. Even if the app is just a website.
I would open an app once on my phone. Even when I put the link of the website on my home screen, every click would open a new tab in my browser instead of just redirecting me to the web page I already had open 2 hours ago.
And with an app, I can be more selective with permissions and what that app should be allowed to do or not, like sending notifications.
But I feel like that nowadays most things are developed mainly for mobile devices which pisses me off too because visiting your website now has all of that empty space on most of my monitor while the actual used spaced is so cramped that it looks weird.
You also wouldn't really know that a coat was made of ethically sourced pelts or if it was made from animals in abhorrent and cruel conditions. But knowing that could shift your opinion of buying that coat, simply because you wouldn't want to support the practice of abusing and the cruel treatment of Animals.
"AI" is something that a lot of people are not OK with. Disclosing that something contains AI is a good thing because it increases transparency, and a person could determine that they don't want to support its usage.
I also think that, no, "AI" isn't as easily distinguishable anymore as you might think, at least not generally. Heck, I am still sometimes getting the "ignore all previous instructions" comments because I like to explain things in more detail, which ends up in walls of text (because regurgitating solutions doesn't really help).
What you clearly be able to distinguish as "made by AI" are the poor examples, the "slop".
A couple of months ago I was invited to go hiking with some friends. When preparing, since I didn't have some hiking boots, I saw my boots that I got in my military service. That was a great idea because they were already broken in and all of that stuff.
After around 3/4 of the almost 15km hike, I lost the sole on the first boot and a km after that the other side. Had to finish the hike on both without a sole.
Well, they were standing around for like 10 years so I am not surprised that they failed and that the whole stuff between sole and shoe Desintegrated but still.
Used a fire TV stick for a long time but multiple factors made me finally switch to an Nvidia shield.
Worked great for a year and then an OS updated made the home screen 60% ads, especially those that started to play with sound when I was on them for like 2 milliseconds. Installed projectify on it and now I only see what I want to see.
It is always disturbing to me how much ads I see when I am using someone else's system, because I banned everything at home.
Always consider the "range" of the mesh. Just looking at the shape or the pretty colours will seem like the bed is completely borked even though it isn't necessarily so in reality.
For example, look at your "range" value; it says that the difference between the highest and lowest point is 0.6004, which is in mm. Meaning: that difference is 0.6mm
That isn't that much and not really something to worry about. In some cases, where the corners are different to the rest of the mesh, it could be that the wheels on the underside of your bed can be adjusted to make the bed flatter. This would require that your bed actually has those things but I wouldn't necessarily bother with it since your range is already that low.
That depends entirely on the result you get and the Filament you use. Also, keep in mind that whatever you set your bed temperature to and what the printer reports, very likely isn't what you actually print on. For example, on my Ender 5 Plus, I have a glass bed and had to set my printer to 75°C while on my Voron 2.4, I can simply set it to 66°C and get the surface temperature to around 60°C.
which means that you need to measure the temperature on the surface of the printer and not rely on what the printer is reporting (unless you actually measured the temperature and can guess the actual temperature). The more mass that the print has to heat up, the longer it will take for the print surface to actually reach that temperature.
Personally, I aim for around 60-65°C for the print surface for PLA. I always had good adhesion for my prints at that temperature.
As someone who got the "Kit" version, I must add something that drove me nuts.
The Voron Documentation is extremely good, while I had some instances in which I would have liked more detail, the instructions are easy to follow.
However, the LDO documentation is abysmal and missing quite a bit of stuff. They do have a wiki that lists things to skip but the replacement instructions are very short and barely understandable. They don't even mention things that you might need to print in addition to what the Voron needs. A specific example of this is the exhaust, the "Voron way" would be to print a cap that goes on the top at the back of the printer with a fan and a HEPA filter but the LDO kit doesn't have that because it should come with the Nevermore filter. But this isn't really mentioned there in the documentation and you need to dig through the wiki and the github project to find the right files for what needs to be printed.
I also had some trouble with the cables on the stepper motor that controls the X axis, they seem to be loose inside or don't make full contact which means that, depending on the wires position, could make the stepper motor not work that well.
Lastly, I am currently building the Box Turtle AFC (automatic filament changer) System also from LDO and, from what I can find, there is absolutely NO documentation about it. I was in the beginning of ordering some TPU spools because the build instructions of the Box Turtle say that you need some before I saw that they provide those in the Kit.
With that being said, would I source the stuff all by myself? Hell no.
I looked a bit in the names of the Studio, Director and Writer to see what they previously did and what sort of scores those things got on MAL.

the actual problem here is that OPs network is not configured correctly and that Plex detects that the physical local client is actually accessing the server from a totally other network.
Fairly common when you use docker to run Plex and have the container run in bridge mode. This will put the container in the docker network that will then be different to your local network.
Plex determines if a stream is local or remote based on the network so when your container is in bridge mode, the physical local client will be a remote connection because of the different networks.
And since remote streaming requires Plex pass since end of April, you will see this.
Basically, we have a process to sell something that is too big, complex and extensive for smaller customers so the idea was to drastically reduce this process to be able to give smaller customers the ability to sell that process.
So, in January, I got an email with the assignment to do this. Since we don't do it like this, I say he should submit a ticket in our tracker and plan it into a release to have some sort of structure and organisation in what is being done and when. Such a thing should also happen with our project manager because, well, he is the person managing what is being worked on so he should know what is going on and what is important. This doesn't happen.
4 Months later, the person sending the mail asked me what the status of that is, I didn't know because I was busy with our other stuff that actually followed our organisation.
This feature is super-duper important and already promised to some customers so it needs to happen quickly. Okay, we plan it in a release and I start working on it. The Plan was that since this was a "1 Task Process", doing that in our existing process, wouldn't make much sense and we decided to do this in a separate process that then relies on the codebase of our "main" process. While working on it, more and more issues popped up that made it really complicated to do it like that because our existing code just relied on a lot of things even if they are not in use. This meant that, to use it in the capacity as I needed, I would have to rip a lot of stuff out of the existing codebase and made this more commonly useable even though this wasn't "used" in the process anyway.
Yes, that sounds weird but you need to know that this is a codebase grown over 15 years so weird things are to be expected.
I do all of that and the sales team has a meeting and I was asked if I had already something that could be presented there, which I had, sort of.
This is presented in that meeting and suddenly this is not enough. "There needs to be other places to be involved in this as well and the customer needs to be able to make changes after the fact".
So, from the initial "1 Task process" we are now at a more complex process to handle the additional stuff of involving a separate entity of the customer, starting another process and being able to make changes to the initial variables.
I don't necessarily have a problem with changing things, but the utter lack of thought or planning of the person submitting the feature request is what drives me nuts. I mean, you had 4 months to think about what this should do and all you could come up with were 4 bullet points that just barely resemble the current state. Adding to that, the constant emphasis on "This is important and needs to happen ASAP". I mean, in literally every mail that person sent to me was the "this is very important, this needs to be priority".
It is like, yeah dude, I got that the 2nd time you wrote that to me but you could have at least invested some time yourself to properly think about this more than 10 minutes. To maybe notice that what you want isn't enough to do what you need.
I previously had a Ender 3v2 and an Ender 5 Plus and the E5P had constant issues in which I tried to upgrade it step by step to address those issues. However, never really could fix all of them. The last issues I just gave up on was the bed. While it worked fine, I never really could get a good first layer on the bed, when I calibrated the Z-offset correctly on one side, it wasn't good on the other side because the nozzle was too far away from the bed. I rarely could get the bed mesh range under 0.4mm which was quite annoying. But smaller prints, it printed well.
Last year in October, I decided to build a Voron and got the 2.4 LDO kit for 350mm. Took a bit of time to get it all assembled and some hiccups here and there but since it is up and running there is really only one issue that I haven't quite figured out yet (the A motor sometimes doesn't want to turn, after re-plugging the cable and restarting, it works without issues).
But I could print PLA, ABS and ABS-GF on it so far. I am also currently building the Armor Turtle AFC (filament changer) for it.
But 770€ for a 250mm V2.4 sounds very low to me so I would assume that it is 2nd hand. This could be fine but keep in mind that the printer also could have issues, issues you might not know about where they would be coming from because you simply bought the machine as a whole. So, identifying the problem could be a bit annoying.
Other than that, I am really happy with mine, I usually get 0.1mm difference in the bed mesh range (running a voron tap as probe), the print speed is great (but I also didn't optimise it and just used the speed settings from the default profile in Orca Slicer)
Back in the day, I liked to watch Cory Williams and his SMP Films / Mr Safety / DudeLikeHELLA / TheMeanKitty channels, even if they were sometimes completely ridiculous, they were still fun to watch. When he started to Vlog it was still entertaining. The whole "Moving to Alaska" part was still interesting and weird, and I still liked to watch the videos. For TheMeanKitty, in 2018, Loki and then in 2020 Sparta died, so the channel, for the lack of a better word, was dead as well. But his main Channel then only revolved around doing Family vlogs, then game some Game stuff with Motion Capturing and Game Dev. Moving back to Oklahoma and so on. It wasn't interesting to me anymore, and I slowly lost track. I am glad that he now looks happy, and I wish him all the luck.
Another one would be Joshua Weissman. I really liked his initial content, his recipes and guide videos on how to do all sorts of things, like fermentation, making sourdough, pickling and so on. But, as soon as the channel took off and he hired more people, it became a bit weird. The "witty" comments, many times at the expense of his employees, got annoying. I also don't have that much of a Problem with innuendos, but this was overdone at some point. Looking now at the channel videos, it has heavily changed from the food being the focus to Joshua in the Thumbnails. This might be more of an "algorithm" thing, which I get to soon, but I still don't like it. But soon after that, it got more into the direction of "competition" content, the "But better" part, in which he makes some fast food items at home. While it was still interesting to watch, I think it is misleading because even Joshua struggled with the time to make all that stuff in the time to get it, and that, as a professional chef. Not to mention that the usual other time factors like preparations and clean-up aren't factored in as well. Soon after that, it got the MrBeastification.
Around 2 years ago, the channel and videos shifted to the "I did this" or "I tried that" with him basically going around and trying food stuff, rating them, and practically complaining about them most of the time.

The leather was fine. The part between the rubber sole and the leather shoe (I think it is called midsole?) just disintegrated.
The were stored in my shoe rack. I wouldn't say that it is particularly humid there but it would be warm-ish (depending on the weather).
I wasn't particularly shocked by this since they were simply lying around for that long. Maybe active use would have extended their life a bit more.
But maybe I can give them to someone that can add a new midsole so that they can be used again.

As someone who got the "Kit" version, I must add something that drove me nuts.
The Voron Documentation is extremely good, while I had some instances in which I would have liked more detail, the instructions are easy to follow.
However, the LDO documentation is abysmal and missing quite a bit of stuff. They do have a wiki that lists things to skip but the replacement instructions are very short and barely understandable. They don't even mention things that you might need to print in addition to what the Voron needs. A specific example of this is the exhaust, the "Voron way" would be to print a cap that goes on the top at the back of the printer with a fan and a HEPA filter but the LDO kit doesn't have that because it should come with the Nevermore filter. But this isn't really mentioned there in the documentation and you need to dig through the wiki and the github project to find the right files for what needs to be printed.

I mean, in literally every mail that person sent to me was the "this is very important, this needs to be priority".
It is like, yeah dude, I got that the 2nd time you wrote that to me but you could have at least invested some time yourself to properly think about this more than 10 minutes. To maybe notice that what you want isn't enough to do what you need.
It was definitely worth it for me.
I previously had a Ender 3v2 and an Ender 5 Plus and the E5P had constant issues in which I tried to upgrade it step by step to address those issues. However, never really could fix all of them. The last issues I just gave up on was the bed. While it worked fine, I never really could get a good first layer on the bed, when I calibrated the Z-offset correctly on one side, it wasn't good on the other side because the nozzle was too far away from the bed. I rarely could get the bed mesh range under 0.4mm which was quite annoying. But smaller prints, it printed well.
Last year in October, I decided to build a Voron and got the 2.4 LDO kit for 350mm. Took a bit of time to get it all assembled and some hiccups here and there but since it is up and running there is really only one issue that I haven't quite figured out yet (the A motor sometimes doesn't want to turn, after re-plugging the cable and restarting, it works without issues).
But I could print PLA, ABS and ABS-GF on it so far. I am also currently building the Armor Turtle AFC (filament changer) for it.
But 770€ for a 250mm V2.4 sounds very low to me so I would assume that it is 2nd hand. This could be fine but keep in mind that the printer also could have issues, issues you might not know about where they would be coming from because you simply bought the machine as a whole. So, identifying the problem could be a bit annoying.
Other than that, I am really happy with mine, I usually get 0.1mm difference in the bed mesh range (running a voron tap as probe), the print speed is great (but I also didn't optimise it and just used the speed settings from the default profile in Orca Slicer)
