Thanks for your answer. I use the 0.4 see stock nozzle trying to use PLA. The plate has been cleaned with 99% isopropanolol and hot water with lots of soap. I am trying to keep the tip of the noozle clean but I like to start prints remotely so I am not always next to it when the bed measuring takes place. Do you watch for that little bit of "ooze" every print? Gluestick might be an option but it worked perfectly before without on the same plate with the same filament.

Thanks, will clean it again, this time as you suggested. Usually I use the isopropanol on the cold plate.
Hello folks! Build a MK4 4 months ago and was very happy with it so far. Now I have bed adhesion problems (see pic attached). 3 weeks ago I had similar problems and after a chat with prusa and resetting the calibration / cleaning the build plate again it worked fine. Now the problem is back despite a clean build plate . After resetting the calibration I got one nice print and then the same problem again. Cold pull of the nozzle resulted in a clean tip and no better results, so I do not think there is any clogging. Also the plate and the should be alright, as I got good results inbetween. Any ideas / hints where my problem is? Link leads to image of the problem. Could not upload the file for some reason...

Try Zotero. It is a complete literature databas but it's PDF reader is very good at extracting images and text. Works on all OS, web and mobile. Native Linux client has been very smooth for me. Oh, terminal it doesn't do though. If you want to extract a large amount in an automated way, its probably not the right tool.

Cool. Hope to print one later. Last week I have been searching for exactly this and could not find it. Did you think about an option for adding some simple dividers inside the box?

What do you guys think about Eternal Terminal? I quite like it. You can scroll!

My setup is pretty much option 1, I have no issues with it. You can easly mount NFS shares as docker volumes (I m docking that for jellyfin and nextclould) but you need to get the permissons right. But I am no expert, just a hobbiest not smart enough for a better solution :)

This was the first idea. I cannot explain very well why this does not work. But I think the issue is that the borg mount magic lives inside the container so the filesystem cannot be seen from the host. You can mount an empty directory and copy the files you want to access from the host into it. Problem with that is that you are stuck with the tooling provided by the container.

Thanks for your answer and taking the time! Borgmatic search I did not know. That is an amazing tool. You are right about the mounting. My way of dealing with that is a NFS share I mount RW so I can restore to that and than copy whereever. This might it be ideal for very large restores though. Initially I thought I could borgmount to the NFS share and then access the filesystem via NFS. But this does nof work I suppose as Borg only lives inside the container. Generally I do like having Borg and Borgmatic containerized as almost everything else I selfhost but it adds complexity restoring. Anyways great project, it is just so powerful and in many ways elegant. Really enjoy using it!

That does make sense. Could work for me as well. I was just not aware I can mount a repository from a remote host that was created by a different Borg instance on another server and just browse the files like they were local on my notebook.

Agreed, the dedupe feels like magic!

Borg is running on a headless server. Everything is dockerized, so I did the same with Borg. Advantages are that the setup is easy to setup, backup the config and move it to a different server. At first I did not realize that the mount of the backup only exists in the container and that this is making things a little harder.
Maybe I state the obvious here but anyway: Tonight I found a super comfi way to browse and restore data from Borg repositories. In [vorta](https://github.com/borgbase/vorta) you can add any existing borg repository and mount the containing backups in a very functional GUI. Until now I somehow assumed you could only deal with backups created in vorta which is not true. For context let me explain why I find that so useful: I am using a wonderful [Borg / Borgmatic container ](https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/docker-borgmatic) from the borgmatic collective. It works super reliable. But for restoring files you have to mount the backup in the container and deal with the files inside the container. This can be difficult i.e. when looking for a specific file in a folder with a lot of files (like a foto collection where you accidentally deleted one file). If any Borg users are out there: I would be interested what your workflows look like.

Nice hints. Never really heard about the banana pie routers. Great to hear from someone with extended knowledge! You gave lots to read and think about. Setting up a mesh network requires some work but seems doable. Have you used it? Does it work for you once setup smoothly? Sounds great all in all but not sure if I can motivate myself for the extra effort (and the negative feedback for breaking the internet). Do you use the metal cases from banana pie and their WiFi antennas or are there better options? It will be in the living room and a not to techy look is required.

Thanks. Yeah people say not so nice stuffed a out unifi and Ideally don't want to,be pushed in somebodies cloud. Mikrotik looks good. Will do some more reading about them. Your comments were really helpful!

Wow, just had a very short look,this looks like an amazing rabbit hole to get into. Do you run this yourself. Did you find the setup difficult? Is the,WiFi range compareable to a comercial access point?
Hello dear selfhosters, I'm planning to step up my WiFi game and after some research I feel a little lost. do have questions. At the moment with an all in one router (a fritzbox ) and a WiFi range extender the coverage is not sufficient and the extended connection not reliable enough. So I plan to get two wireless access points. That would be all for now, in the future I am thinking about switching to opensense to get vlan support - I'd like to have one for iot devices, one for kids, one for guests. The questions for now: If using access points with a software controler (I.e. T-Link EAP653 or UbiquitI U6+) can I just plug these into the router, turn WiFi in the router off and have the access points handle the WiFi? But IP addresses will still be assigned by the router, right? I don't want to leave the router WiFi running with the same ssid because this will affect the smoth transition between access points managed by the software controler? If the software controller is down for whatever reason, will the WiFi still work? Questions for later: Will opensense be able to handle vlans for WiFi connected decices or do they need to be configured in the controler software? Are the access points I mentioned suitable? I want WiFi6, not willing to spend more then double for WiFi6e, max 15-20 devices in the network, no cloud controller, generally I prefer open systems. Any better suggestions for devices? Answers also to a single question are very much appreciated!

Did not know this. Immutable Ubuntu plus flatpack sounds awesome. Not sure what to think about their plans to fork cosmic from GNOME.

Turns out she needs a bit of proprietary software (pixum for photo books) that I could not install on EndlessOS. So I had to change course and installed pop os. So far I am pleasantly suprised. Even though I thought I would not like it, their take on GNOME makes sense to me. Tiling is fun.

Need Tod check that out. Never heard of it. I myself run KDE as part of the mighty garuda Linux. Pure is not the word I would use to describe garuda though.
Tonight I am about to install endless os for my non technical partner. Do you think that is a good idea? Would you do the same?
