I'm just curious if anyone knows of an effort to build a federated version of something like Thingiverse, Printables, Thangs, etc. I'm not really a fan of the centralized control, commercial tie-ins and profit motivations of those and similar sites, but the community of collaboration and remixing designs means they are basically indispensable for time efficient 3d printing, they're basically like the Github of 3d printing.

For me the ideal would be to have a federated alternative where users can host and share their own creations and collections, as well as rate and comment each other's designs to help improve discoverability of the best models in the community. This seems like something that would be a good fit for the ActivityPub protocol but I'm not sure if there is something like this already out there. All I could find is this old reddit post that seems to have gotten a lot of support (and good suggestions for features) in the comments but has gone nowhere as far as I can tell.

Got an older Hyundai Santa Fe that needs the power steering system looked at. So depending on what work needs to be done it may need an alignment afterwards too. Anyone know a trustworthy place, ideally one with an alignment rack?

I don't like the weight or fragility of huge tempered glass side panels which seems to be the default for any case that is over $100... plexiglass/acrylic and some RGB are acceptable although honestly the aesthetics are pretty much irrelevant and I don't need them. I don't want a "cheap" case either. I've cut enough fingers on poorly finished steel rattle-trap boxes and I really can't stand them.

Enough about what I don't want though. What I DO want is a case that's focused on practical features, good airflow, quiet, well-made, easy to build in, roomy without being absurdly enormous, not too unconventionally laid out so that wires will reach while allowing good cable management -- basically, something that was designed thoughtfully.

My current case is a Corsair 900D and other than the fact that it's way bigger than I'd like, I'm generally pretty happy with it, but I'm not sure what else is out there that would even be comparable, Corsair seems to have gone to tempered glass in all their larger cases and I'm not very familiar with all the other manufacturers out there nowadays.
