I am very happy with Kagi. Can recommend. In the end someone has to pay for the service. With Kagi I know I don’t pay with my data but with money.

Most people don’t want to pay for AI. So they are building stuff that costs a lot for a market that is not willing to pay for it. It is mostly a gimmick for most people.

I think the idea of prusa is cool but I feel like they are a bit behind. Especially regarding price to performance. That is what I gathered from the reviews at least. They are pretty reliable but not the latest and greatest tech.

Yeah I did that math myself. I would only do that because I like my Ender 3. But in the end a complete package sounds very tempting.

Don’t misunderstand me. I am very impressed by the performance of the Bambu printers. They really gave the established brands a kick in the butt price and performance wise.

Still it makes me uneasy to have a closed source system. I don’t mind butting some effort into my printer if it is more open. I mean my ender 3 is a lot of work. I’d assume it gets better than that.

I don’t have the space for two printers. But I think too that at some point upgrading makes sense. The Ender 3 is nice to tinker but I want something that just works.

Then post some please.

I don’t see how they can recover from that. They will get lawsuits from all around the world.

If I’m not mistaken you can save keys in these chips so that they can not be extracted. You can only use the key to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify by asking the chip to do these operations with your key.

Depending on your jurisdiction it is probably your responsibility to enforce your copyright. I can always just record your music off a streaming platform. You can attach a license to your song in funkwhale (see this). If you want DRM for your music then funkwhale is probably also not for your. You still have to enforce your self that nobody monetizes your works if you don’t allow it. You can delete things from the fediverse if you know the source but I don’t think funkwhale allows DRM protected music.

If you attach a license to your works that doesn’t allow monetization and they monetize the app you can sue them. I doubt they will though. And they probably wouldn’t be very successful because the app and the server are open source. You could just build the app without monetization. And someone probably would.

The upload and sharing copyrighted music probably falls into the hands of the instance admin. As with PeerTube it is probably not a good idea to have open signups. But everyone has to make sure that doesn’t happen.

The fediverse is an open and very liberal space. If you want full control over your works it is probably not for you. No software with federation probably is. If you want and need to control over your works (which is legitimate) you need something with a tighter grip, maybe host the things yourself on your server with DRM. That doesn’t mean it is bad for everyone.

I am unsure if I understand you correctly. Funkwhale is for you to publish music or other audio you make yourself. Not for your commercial music library. And the software itself is under the GNU AGPLv3. You can host the software yourself on your own server or you join an instance of someone else. Just like lemmy, mastodon or all the other fediverse projects.

What are you saying? This is an open source project that is connected to the fediverse. It aims to be something comparable to soundcloud where people can share their music. What about this is says monetization?

Only if you have enough starting capital to skirt through life without a worry.

Manual docker deployment

I’m so glad I’m on my own instance.

Yes. If you don’t connect it is pretty dumb and shouldn’t be able to send your data for harvesting. You sould research if you can set it to one of the outputs permanently then you can use some external device that you trust.

The lowest power option depends on what you attach. With a poe injector you can use a dumb switch and a poe injector as an external device.

The poe injector has usually 3 connections: power and 2 ethernet jacks. One ethernet neck is for plain ethernet the other one has added poe. It loops through the data but adds power to one of the ports.

To determine the lowest power option or is useful to know your minimum specs. How many ports do you need in total? Do you need smart capabilities? Do you need or want morn than one poe port?

What do you want to run via poe? How many poe ports? Is a poe injector also okay?

Windows Defender is the default anti virus solution on Windows by now and it is good. But no anti virus is perfect. It is a good idea to have a backup strategy if you plan on having any important data on your PC. In case of encryption malware and hardware problems.

Phishing is also very problematic practice that the anti virus can’t protect you from and even experts can fall into the traps. So you have to be careful with your account credentials.

Don’t disable Windows updates or postpone them indefinitely (though windows makes that harder to do anyways). Also be aware that your PC might need firmware updates too to stay secure. It depends on the manufacturer of your hardware how and if these are provided and how you install them.

Lastly I can recommend using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Using an ad blocker can help you stay safer and Firefox has very good support for them.
