I was informed about Kagi through one of the posts here and tried it out. It's quite amazing how much better it is compared to even DDG. I didn't mind DDG but it felt "old" but Kagi seems to prioritize user experience over everything else. It may not be free, but it's worth the cost for me.

The term you are looking for is "parametric". You might be able to find a design you need through the many 3D printing file sites using that term. FreeCAD and Fusion360 are open used but another is OpenSCAD if you are more programming savvy than modeling savvy. There are plenty of recipes for threads in there to make your relatively simple design request here.

Tons of good and free options, you just gotta pick which one looks easiest for you.

From the article, you can get a detailed usage history of MTA transactions by simply supplying the credit card number (which they state can very often be bought on the dark web). The lack of identity confirmation to pull the report is the concern.

Because you're tied to their DNS without paying a hefty fee to use outside name servers. But there's always Porkbun for nearly as cheap but no strings attached.

Keep in mind that any hobby printer, especially those under ~$/€1k are subject to needing some level of tinkering to get reliable printing. If speed is unimportant, any of the options you provide will be a good fit. You will benefit from running some basic tuning for each spool of filament to get the best print quality. The speed can be dialed in to reduce failures but not take forever.

Build plate finish is more of a personal preference when it comes to PLA. Textured plate will provide slightly better grip to prevent the print from popping off mid-print, but it's a visible and tactile texture to that surface. It would probably be best to have a both a texture and smooth plate on hand long term.

Enclosure mainly comes into play if you print high-shrink materials like ABS or ASA. If you don't like to tinker, I wouldn't try to enclose a prusa or ender and would save up for a design built for it. If you don't mind tinkering a bit, you can always add the enclosure later.

Buying a used printer isn't a terrible option, but I would get eyes on first to ensure it prints as-is, especially since you want it to be plug and play. People sell printers for a variety of reasons such as upgrading, lack of interest, lack of funding, etc.

Another vote for Porkbun here. I switched after Google Domains shared they were selling off to Squarespace. It's been a lovely experience and their website just seems more human than the other big players. Cloudflare isn't a terrible alternative option as long as you'll be using their DNS.

It's a mobile game, but Sandship kinda checks all those boxes.

  • Slice & Dice is a fun game here and there
  • Poweramp Equalizer is pretty nifty if you use decent headphones or swap listening devices frequently. You can save profiles per device.

It's reasons like wanting to complete existing work and not overextending that I am happy to wait to create an account. I've been super happy with how y'all are running things! If there's anything I can do to help, I'd love to pitch in some!

I've been describing this as if Animal Crossing had an MMO. It's cute, cartoony, and cozy/relaxing. It has all of the typical MMO activities but a very heavy focus on house building and customization. The fishing mini game is decent to not get too boring and the cooking skills are a fun mix of different mini games. Overall it's a nice balance of freshness and QoL improvements for a nice chill gaming session. I'm excited to see where jt goes after launch!

It's only cosmetics. It's just getting to beta but they have a decent start to the store for clothing items for purchase. Doesn't seem to be a terrible way at all. Aside from the tutorial mission about it, you could simply never interact with the storefront ever again.

I had someone send me a 7z at work a few weeks ago and I got so elated that it wasn't a zip! I did have to request IT to install 7zip but I'm so glad to have it installed now. It's nice to see it being adopted more.
