Smoky Sun

Moving picture of the early morning sun affected by the smoke from the Canadian wildfires over a farm field. The levels have been edited slightly to match what my eyes saw.

The sun was an intense, piercing red and everything else had a smoky haze that was sharp on the nose, like deeply inhaled black pepper.

This is my first post to this forum.

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. This article expands on that paper.

I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what's happening around me.

Have you tried this? Did you switch back?

BTT Filament Runout Sensor on Ender 3 Pro

I'm wondering if anybody has this working on their printer.

I have an Ender 3 Pro (v1.5) with the Creality v4.2.2 board. It's mostly stock. I'm looking to add the BigTreeTech Smart Filament Runout Sensor (v1.0). It's installed (plugged into the main board, not LCD), but will trigger a runout after a few minutes of a test print and then it seems to go into a loop where it triggers a runout after a few seconds of restarting. I've recompiled the firmware (Marlin) from these instructions. I saw a post on Amazon indicating that the cable needs rewiring, but can't find it anymore.

Before I go rewiring anything, I was wondering if anybody has this working in their setup and if they did anything different than the instructions.

I'm using the Marlin 2.1.2.5 config and updated the following config items:
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7
FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR
NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE
ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE

Not another email self-hosting question

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I'm interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I'd like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I'd like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.

internal certificate distribution?

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?
