Given BambuLabs recent issues what now?
I have an order for a P1S that hasn't shipped yet but am now considering cancelling it and buying a Creality K1C. Anyone have thoughts on that as an alternative? It seems their multi material thing is coming out soon

Good MMORPG on Linux
I don't know about natively, but I've played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it's been a little bit.

I ended up canceling my order and in the form let them know the reason. They refunded me my money and didn't respond.
Now I'm trying to figure out what two actually get to replace my ender 3, currently trying to do research on the K1C and the Sovol SV08. I'm fine with tinkering, but I really want multiple color support

I need to buy laptop
Others have said it already, but I love my Framework laptop. I have one of the first gen ones, running Ubunut, and I'm looking forward to upgrading it to the new AMD motherboard they're releasing later this year. The fact that they have upgrade paths for their laptops is amazing.

New EV purchase tips.
I don't know the German market, but I've been really happy with the Kia EV9 for the two years I've owned it. Has 3 rows and gets 2.1-ish mi/kWh in snowy winter and about 3ish during the summer. Overall mi/kWh for the two years has been about 2.8 mostly city driving with some highway and occasional road trips

What's your opinion on git rebase vs git merge?
Reply in thread
love this approach and it's what I usually use. I also don't rebase after opening a PR (GitHub) because force pushing ruins reviewer context in the GH UI. so after the PR is open I merge main/master in instead of rebasing.

Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.
Reply in thread
Hoping to be constructive: how do you think search engines should operate? Or maybe how would you like one you consider "good" to operate?
Also wondering how you see something like Privacy Pass that Kagi announced recently: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass
This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.

Qwen3.6 finally makes my Local LlaMa useful
I had high hopes for Gemma4 and for the most part, for non coding tasks, its been great. I really want to find a relatively reliable local coding model though

Overwatch 2 is now the #1 of the worst Steam games
Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money's worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I'm happy with it.

Do you use a coffee subscription? Which one?
I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I'm very happy with it.

I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a switch to Linux. Looking for advice and discussion
I'm not sure what you mean by cost-effective resources, are you wondering what things are worth investing into inside of a total budget versus which things you could be more frugal on? Overall I would say there's not a big difference in terms of what to consider differently from running Windows: Linux will benefit just as much from good hardware (maybe more?) as window as will.
If you want to do plex and utilize hardware video transcoding you'll probably want an Nvidia GPU but I've had better experiences with AMD graphics cards in Linux. The best home management tool I can recommend is home assistant, and it doesn't have particularly high system requirements, you can run it on a raspberry pi.

YSK: Subscriber count on communities only show the numbers of users subscribed from your specific instance. The real number might be much larger than you think.
Reply in thread
I want to preface this by saying that I really don't know anything about Lemmy, but I can see where subscriptions are managed by the subscribers servers in a federated situation: the community's server might not even know who is subscribed to it since the subscribers server might be responsible for pulling data.
But any individual subscribers server would know about other users on that server that are subscribed to that community

Resources on learning how to build a retirement portfolio?
Reply in thread
Thanks for the input! I've been thinking that'd I'd probably just stick to index funds and avoid (for now) individual companies. My financial advisor does do individual companies (to fit the allocation targets), and does do tax loss harvesting, but I think that might be a bit complicated for my initial attempts.
I had thought about doing something like S&P 500 fund + some set of small and medium cap index funds, rather than trying to identify individual companies that fit into "large/mid/small cap & industry spread", but even in those broad realms there's lots of "index 500" funds and lots of "medium/small cap" index funds, how do I figure out which ones to buy and how to compare them?

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.
