Excellent. Thank you.

Now look at the questions again and when you read the word “you”, insert “preludeofme”.

I’m asking because you’re also wanting to offer a service to customers.

AI bots will hammer your endpoints into the ground if left unchecked. They’ll happily compromise your services while they’re at it.

Here’s some questions:

• What happens when you die?
• What happens if your house is burgled or catches fire?
• How do you protect against pe(s)ts making themselves at home in your server?
• What happens with a power or internet outage?
• What happens with hardware failure?
• What happens if you suffer dementia?
• How are you dealing with AI bots?
• How are you mitigating hacking attempts, security, authentication and exploits?
• How are you dealing with data corruption?
• How do you mitigate against ransomware having entered your systems?

Note that I’m not picking on you, nor is this list comprehensive or in priority order. I’m trying to determine if you’ve considered these common issues and concerns associated with hosting stuff that has great sentimental value, if not actual value.

I think that unless you have some way to enforce accuracy, it’s meaningless and AFAIK automatic detection tools are no better than chance and to my knowledge, getting worse.

An AI bot operator isn’t going to tag their material as [AI], more likely than not they’d attempt to use [NOT AI].

I’d also point out that while lemmy doesn’t (yet) support hashtags, any “tagging” would probably benefit from using the existing method using a #tag.

Ultimately, you need to ask yourself, is undeclared AI that goes undetected by the community a problem, or the new “normal”?

I’ll note that I’m not a proponent of Assumed Intelligence and think that when the bubble bursts we’re going to be in a world of hurt, but with a little luck the billionaires will have lost their shirts in the process.

There’s nothing to host.

Create an iCal file and import it into your calendar application on your phone.

I apologise, I saw S3, never even noticed the “OVH”, nor had I ever heard of it.

I’ll leave my original reply as is with an added disclaimer for anyone who follows down the same path.

Have a look at your AWS billing console, since data egress is charged and downloading to verify is considered egress.

AWS S3 supports data checksums where a checksum is calculated at AWS, which you can compare against a checksum that you calculate locally.

This is an article that goes into how it works, but I’ve not (yet) tested it, but I’ll be following in your footsteps pretty soon.

As an aside, make sure that versioning is OFF on your backup bucket unless you specifically require and understand it, because even when you delete objects, they persist as a previous, all but invisible, and charged(!), version.

My former backup software “helpfully” enabled versioning and I was left with a $600 monthly bill for six months while there was no actual backup being done due to a local hardware failure, until I figured out what was happening. I used that software for years and shudder to think just how much extra it actually cost.

I will note that while I had a catastrophic hardware failure, I didn’t lose any data.

Finally, if you’re storing data in Glacier, retrieval is charged at different rates, depending on timelines of access, so it might be that your backup software is using the slow tier to “save” you money.

Edit: OP advises that they’re not using AWS, instead they’re using OVH. The object storage solutions appear to be mostly compatible, but I was unable to discover if the OVH implementation supports checksums.

No.

Bambu Studio is forked from PrusaSlicer, licensed under the AGPL.

PrusaSlicer is a fork of Slic3r, also licensed under the AGPL.

Next time the company will write their own code and not steal it from the community, or they’ll comply with the licence under which they’re building their business.

What’s particularly troubling is that this is not the first time that Bambu Labs has done this.

s/see/watch/

I didn’t see any other video in relation to this.

As I understand it, the author of the AGPL has recently posted about software that’s including closed source modules and the person who was told to cease and desist has documented exactly what the issue is based entirely on Bambu Labs’ source code. There’s also discussion about reverse engineering.

I don’t know if any of that is new ground or not, as I said, this is the first video I watched on the topic, it randomly turned up in my feed.

I think that below is probably a fair summary, but I note that I’m a FOSS user and contributor and this is my opinion.

There is a case to be made that there is an AGPL violation here and the documented evidence and commentary is growing.

More people with knowledge on the subject are apparently weighing in.

As a software developer, I think that this case is important because there is a growing trend by companies and individuals to hide source code from the community, even if that software was originally licensed to them under an irrevocable licence. In this case, as I understand it, the Bambu Labs software is a fork of Prussia Slicer, which itself is a fork of Slic3r, all of which is licensed under the AGPL.

Welcome to the community!

Apparently the petition went up in November 2025 and has a year to get enough signatures. Last I saw it was near to the halfway point of acceptance.

I came across it because I saw a post announcing that Inkscape was supporting it.

Basically two choices:

1. Find a project you’re interested in and make a contribution. Many projects tag certain issues with something like “Good First Issue” as a way of lowering barriers to entry. Other things are updating documentation, fixing typos, then you can branch out into patches and pull requests.
2. Make your own FOSS project.

I faced pretty much the exact same choice, except I was given four of them, each with 8 GB of RAM.

Unfortunately they were two different hardware revisions, so the most I could achieve was two servers with 16 GB each.

They sound like a Jet taking off when powered up and the BIOS doesn’t support lower fan speeds.

Instead after months of deliberation I decided to go with a SFF Lenovo, 32 GB, 2 x 1 TB NVME, Ryzen 7, and bought this:

It’s whisper quiet and running Proxmox.

To get VM video passthrough to work I installed an extra video card, though, you could install a desktop on the host OS instead if you prefer.

The video card I used to fit inside is this:

Pandoc will convert markdown to a PDF in portrait or landscape and there’s even “beamer” support, aka data projector or presentation support.

Why run Docker Desktop when it’s installable as a cli service?

What are you actually trying to achieve?

As a creator, I’d be much more interested in a way to get paid into my actual bank account in such a way that didn’t involve Bitcoin (et. al.), PayPal or Stripe.

Tah. I’ll have a look see.

Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.

What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).

I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.
