Please do share what alternative(s) you end up with and what you like about the providers. I had a look at mailbox, infomaniak and tuta for mail and airvpn as a replacement. I think I'l be switching to mailbox.

And only a month after my subscription renewed. In hindsight, I should have made this a monthly commitment a long time ago.

Anyone with some recommendations for email? I see tuta, mailbox and infomaniak being recommended on the regular around here.

Wife and I bought a Prusa core one late last year (on sale) as an upgrade to our entry-level cobra neo, which we had rapidly outgrown.

We disqualified Bambu for largely the same reasons you did. We had a look at many different brands, but settled on Prusa because it's the brand that we can reasonably expect to be supported the longest. Both on the software, but also availability of spare parts.

Many of the shipped parts are 3d printed, and there's no shortage of spare parts on their own website. I'm fairly certain I will still be able to figure out replacement parts 10 years from now if something breaks, either through Prusa directly or by ordering a printed part from a domestic print-shop.

From my understanding, you have the option of starting with the MK4S (or earlier) and upgrading to the core one later. Not sure I'd recommend it given how long assembly takes, but having this level of repairability and reduction in waste appealed to me: I don't want to throw out perfectly good hardware.

Prusa wasn't an easy choice (pricing, open source pull-back), but we felt it was the most reasonable choice since we could afford the premium.

I think mine was in Akihabara last year for some (dirt cheap) second hand Switch games, but besides that I have no idea where or when.

In theory: Yes, future works are not yet part of the training data.

In practice: It takes months or years for an open source project (or any new technology) to take off and be considered valuable.

The other argument relies on said tech organization doing the right thing, and spending resources on training their own model (years and 100+ million) instead of including the cost of the lawsuit and pending fine in their cost/benefit analysis. I'm not aware that any such tech organization (with the means) exists.

Gluetun has an example for qbt port forwarding integration on the wiki. I've been using this for about a year and some without problem (to my knowledge at least). I've seen that gluetun will retry setting the port in qbt for a while to work around the timing issues.

They also mention a bug in qbt when changing the port, which is also covered in the example.

Edit: I see you're already using the port down script. Not sure what else could be the root cause if you're running on an up to date container version :/

No, absolutely not. It is safe to assume that most/all open source (and otherwise) has been part of the training data. You need not look further than the fact that some models can recite Harry Potter from memory. There is no such thing as "clean room" for AI.

Bike-shedding has a different meaning.

The court is actually a clown town for pursuing DNS blocking instead of the CDN (Cloudflare). Is this just tech illiteracy at play?

Why couldn't they extend the server-side API to serve the content they wanted? The post opens with the words

It implies they have control of the full stack, and yet they're not making use of this advantage.

I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn't bundle these up.

Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).

I was really surprised that they had added a switch capsule machine out front. It's a nice way to pick up some weird switches.

They usually have some cute and decorative keycaps as well.
