brovonov··on Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract
Bambu has the slicer (orca, bambu) download a plugin (owned and written by bambu, closed source.) which is what the controversy is about.
brovonov··on Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract
They had that chance to create proper auth and api for years and many developers and myself have been asking for it. Never happened, and I suspect will never happen.

Voron isn't a company, nor are they after a profit, all designs are 100% opensource. Sovol runs on a profit and uses opensource designs to run their products.
brovonov··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
> At the end, it boils down to money: there are tons of ads on Notepad++ website, so having a competitive offering like "Notepad++ for Mac" threatens that business strategy.

Tons of ads? Really? I had to turn off my adblocker to check, but there is a single ad block on the bottom left. Is that considered a ton?

brovonov··on Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan
is there even a reason to use axios?
brovonov··on We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports
But you won't. Let's be real here. Yeah, lets gently remind ai spammers that they are truly helping but submitting bogus Issues, PRs, bug bounties, or whatever. Just like scammers from fake call centers, they are only in it for the money and hoping one hit sticks.

They are not contributors, they are spammers. There is a difference. Do you reply to spammers with friendly greetings?
brovonov··on A Year of 3D Printing
The U1, so far, is looking to be a great printer. No idea on long term, but you will not find another toolchanger at that low of a price.
brovonov··on A Year of 3D Printing
That is mostly true, PLA is ONLY biodegradable in a facility that can handle that. Your run of the mill recycling center in your city probably can't or won't take your PLA prints.
brovonov··on Instabridge has acquired Nova Launcher
It seems to be pirated icon packs. see the other comment in this same parent comment.

From the little research I did, they do appear to certain block apps.

brovonov··on We collected 10k hours of neuro-language data in our basement

brovonov··on A Cozy Mk IV light aircraft crashed after 3D-printed part was weakened by heat
It kind of is, a better metric is HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature), and it is based on curve usually load over temp.
brovonov··on A Cozy Mk IV light aircraft crashed after 3D-printed part was weakened by heat
Plastics under load have a lower Tg.
brovonov··on A Cozy Mk IV light aircraft crashed after 3D-printed part was weakened by heat
Polymaker's ABS is dubious too because it is blended with PETG. They are coming out with a Pro version that has a higher Tg and requires way higher chamber temps to print properly.
brovonov··on A Cozy Mk IV light aircraft crashed after 3D-printed part was weakened by heat
Lower, according to the report

"Two samples from the air induction elbow were subjected to testing, using a heat-flux differential scanning calorimeter, to determine their glass transition temperature. The measured glass transition temperature for the first sample was 52.8°C, and 54.0°C for the second sample"

Yeah, they might have used ABS-CF filament, but unless they got it from a good brand that uses good resin and proper printing parameters, the actual Tg will be lower, plus the stress from the vibration/load could have made the part fail if it was not for the heat later in flight.

brovonov··on Red Alert 2 in web browser
Yes, because they don't own the assets.
brovonov··on GitHub: Git operation failures
Has to be a mix of both.
brovonov··on GitHub: Git operation failures
Good thing I already moved away from gh to a selfhosted Forgejo instance.
brovonov··on Google Antigravity
Any reason why this isn't just an extension instead of another fork?
brovonov··on Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support
That's awesome. I used VLC only because of the nightmare of codecs back in the day, and worked well for me for ages. I now just use mpv with some UI plugins.

brovonov··on Ask HN: How do you protect your SaaS?
VPN for accessing your endpoints can only end in pain for both your clients and your company. Are your endpoints not protected by oauth?
brovonov··on Win11Debloat – declutter and improve your Windows experience
Gonna hard to justify win10 if certain apps/games whatever is only supported in win10. the obvious answer is Linux, but we already know the story there.
brovonov··on You did this with an AI and you do not understand what you're doing here
I went through some of these and the one that stood out to me was this one

Where the reporter says, "Sorry didnt mean to waste anyones time Badger, I thought you would be happy about this.".

People using LLMs think they are helping but in reality, they are not.

brovonov··on Ask HN: What's a good 3D Printer for sub $1000?
none of the printers mentioned going to meet any of your requirements.

Prusa isn't fully opensource, but has the worst enclosed chamber printer imo.

Bambu isn't open source in the slightest (beside the slicer).

You are never going to print PC on a bambu either way, at least not Pure PC. Blends, sure, you need at least 100c chambers for pure PC.

diy kits are the way to go, but it is going take you a LONG time. a voron, ratrig, or annex k3 are your best bets with the requirements you want. each kit has their weaknesses, and most of them, are going to require upgrades from their BOM.

brovonov··on Xrust – XPath, XQuery, and XSLT for Rust
On the section called The Plan

Complete the XPath 1.0 implementation. (Done!)

Implement all XSLT v1.0 functionality. (Done!)

Improve XDM, XPath; achieve v2.0 compliance.

Add v2.0 features to the XSLT engine.

Further improve XDM, XPath; achieve v3.1 compliance.

Add remaining v3.0 features to the XSLT engine.

NB. We're picking the low-hanging fruit first. So major, fundamental features of the languages are being implemented to begin with. The fine detail will be added later. Although the eventual desire is to implement all of XSLT v3.0 functionality, some more advanced features will be implemented sooner rather than later.
