I use Fastmail now. I know it doesn't have the encryption that Protonmail has (what does, aside from Tuta anyway?), but the alias feature is great and integrates directly with 1Password (my PW manager). I chose 1P due to a blog post by Troy whatshisname a few years back and have been happy with it since. I have 15 days left on my Mullvad VPN sub, and I honestly don't know what I'll switch to once that's over (since apparently that CEO is a fascist too).

It certainly is bleak out there. I self-host quite a few services, and I used to roll my own VPN, so I might just do that again.

    I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but my advice would be to not use anything to track your sleep. I used an app to track my sleep for about 12 years, and the number of times I thought "I feel great today!" - but the app said my sleep was terrible (and vice versa) was so high that I gave up on it altogether.

    I've also been reading more and more reports of other people seeing similar results with Oura rings, Apple watches, etc lately. Seems like it's all just junk science.

    My guess would be that Yahoo is one of the few search engines with some sort of affiliate program, so if the scammers can get a browser to redirect all searches - with their affiliate code attached - they can make extra money after the initial infection. Maybe Yahoo's has some of the loosest requirements for signups, which would explain why it shows up most often?

    I've been tuning my Creality K1 ever since getting it (at a steal of $237.15!) about 3 months ago, and I finally got to a point where I'm getting really good, consistent quality results.

    Upgrades include:

    Strangely enough, the calibration I did that seemed to make the most difference is the one I kept reading was the least necessary to do. I performed an E-step calibration, and ended up changing the rotation_distance from the default 6.9 to 6.86964. Seems nearly identical, but the next print after making that change was the cleanest I've seen yet on my printer.

    By the way, the print above was run at 600mm/s, with Overture Turbo PLA!

    edit: actually no, volumetric speed limited to 25, so not 600mm/s (still fast though!)

    I'm now going through and fine-tuning temp, flow, and pressure advance for each of my filaments, and this is just such a different experience than that of my franken-Ender 3; however, I'm still incredibly grateful for all the knowledge and experience I got from constantly tuning that printer for about 3 years straight.

    Perfect first layers, every time
