    I used to use MythTV back in the analog TV days. It’s much easier to use when you have proper cable channels. I couldn’t be bothered to pay >$140/mo for Cable TV any longer.

    So now I just pay $60 for internet, and pirate everything I wanna watch with Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyfin/Jackett/Qbittorrent and a $2/mo VPN from Windscribe.

    Honestly, with YouTube experimenting with ‘inline’ commercials, I think MythTV is going to make a comeback; because the big thing MythTV had going for it, was detecting commercials and removing them from the recordings.










  • PETG just is a pain in the ass sometimes. Really sensitive to moisture, and it loves to stick to hot metal. So it has a tendency to overextrude because of the steam, and bunch up on the nozzle, causing all sorts of havok.

    The key to printing it is just keeping it dry – the latest batches I’ve held feel like they’re way softer than I remember, so I suspect mfgs are putting more glycol in it than before.

    Also, do a sanity check and go back and print PLA from time to time. Sometimes you won’t realize something else is wrong and you’ll blame it on the filament, but something like the idler arm on the extruder is broken, etc.

    You can print it on Textured PEI, or Glass - but I suggest putting a little glue stick down to act as a release agent on the PEI - PETG and PEI bond together too well in some instances (ESPECIALLY on smooth PEI)










  • This screams honeypot. MS-Paint logo, some broad “encryption” claim without mentioning any cyphers at all, the nice “positive-intentions” website… Why are your ‘intentions’ front and center but not the information on what you are doing to keep your clients safe?

    The logo is literally a fish, giving me the indication that something fishy is afoot… I don’t trust it.
