Just tossing some more ideas in the ring:

Make sure there isn't a piece of plastic stuck to the heater under the bed - happened to me a couple times and it causes a very sudden high spot that manifests as a very thin spot on the first layer or a hole if it's bad enough.

If your bed is PEI, I find that fresh from a dish soap wash or isopropyl wipe down isn't always the best adhesion - but I find that printing just the first layer and then peeling and restarting can give an even better adhesion since the first layer picks up any contaminants very well, but that doesn't seem likely to be the root cause here.

Are you able to watch up close while it prints the first layer? You should be able to see whether the plastic is still coming out of the nozzle when it hits the bad spot. You should also be able to easily see if the plastic is still coming out but balling up on the nozzle, or if it's getting squished too much and having trouble due to a high spot, or if it stopped extruding for a moment and only pulled the last bit of extrusion into a thin hair while not pushing out any new filament even though there's space under the nozzle. That will help narrow down the issue a lot between a bed leveling issue, adhesion issue, nozzle clog issue, or other extrusion issue.

Just looking at the picture, because it happens around the same spot as it goes back and forth, it feels more like something around that spot on the bed - either a high spot or a dirty spot. But watching what happens up close and how the filament coming out up close behaves should help determine.

I didn't think I implied otherwise, I did say it was shitty of them because it makes no sense to assume someone isn't blind just because of their word choice. I'm just guessing at what their reasoning is.

It looks like the orange thing on the top pushes the phone forwards when pressed.

It seems they decided that based on the author saying that they "looked at the browser console" so either based on using the word "looked" or they deemed using the browser console to be sketchy and enough to disqualify the author, either way pretty shitty.

Gotcha, currently I just pay $5/mo for mullvad but I've considered adding usenet to the mix in case it can find a few missing episodes here and there. But I would be basically doing that only for my friends because all of the stuff I watch is popular, recent, and on streaming sites so I don't have any issues finding it on public indexers.

Doesn't usenet usually cost money too though? I see them as about equivalent, it's just that I already need a VPN to access certain porn sites in my state so I might as well use the same subscription and torrent for free instead of adding another cost.

I'm guessing they're trying to "clean up" situations where people have lots of shared libraries cluttering up their sidebar. I don't mind it that much since I rarely go into a specific library since all of the content is combined on the home screen. But yeah it does add extra friction if you want to go into a specific library.

I am more concerned that, based on the forum comments, they are making it harder to hide the ad supported content and rentals, as you can't unpin those from the app and instead need to go on desktop and disable them from your account settings. And it sounds like they don't plan on adding the ability to unpin Plex content from within the app. Maybe it's not so bad since changing your account setting is more permanent and doesn't need to be done every time you log into an app on a new device, but I don't like needing to do it on desktop instead of having the ability within the app.

I can't answer all of your questions, but for a while now I've run both just in case of something like this.

For media organization, if you use a renamer, arrstack, or just follow the recommended folder structures in plex's documentation, it should mostly just work™. I point my Plex and jellyfin to exactly the same folders and it looks like jellyfin matched everything with metadata correctly.

You do have to do SSL yourself if you want https (which you definitely want if you're exposing it publicly, but you could skip if it's lan only or accessed through a secure VPN). You should be able to apply just about any reverse proxy that can do letsencrypt pretty easily since there's nothing particularly unusual about jellyfin. I use traefik and my config is almost copy pasted from their examples.

The apps, imo suck. But if the community has a bad reaction to plex's changes then there could possibly be a lot more attention / development on jellyfin apps. So personally if Plex forces us to have free content and rentals mixed in with no ability to disable, I'll just put up with the apps and hope they get better. Imo for Android findroid is the best but it doesn't have casting support.

Uh oh... Well I'll try it out when the play store beta link starts working for me but I'm glad I already have jellyfin set up.

Has anybody else been able to get into the beta and can report on how accessible personal media libraries are in the new app? I'm dreading having to remake my getting started guide that I send to friends with more steps than just "pin my library and unpin the ad supported crap".

Edit:

For personal media pros, we’ve centralized media libraries into a dedicated tab. With the option to favorite libraries and easily access power-user features, it becomes a more personalized experience, with more exciting updates to come!

I hope this means pinning is just turning into favoriting to enable personal content to show up in the main views similar to how pinning currently enables personal media to show on the home tab... And hopefully you will still be able to remove the free ad supported content...

Edit 2 electric boogaloo:

They posted the APK so I've taken a look and here's what I found that I think is important:

• Favorited libraries basically works the same as pinned libraries - so your personal media is mixed into the home screen just like the current app
• There is no unpinning of live TV or Plex free movies/shows so it gets mixed into the home screen by default, and from discussions in the forums it sounds like that isn't planned (yet), so as it is now the only way to remove those is to disable it account wide in your Plex account. Not ideal so I hope they bring back unpinning.

I see, but couldn't they just sign up for a provider and then hook up their bots to the same search that you use? Or is the search obfuscated for you too? In other words how do they obfuscate it for the bots but not for the customers? That's what I never really understood - if the answer is just that the people running the bots are just too lazy to hook them up through the same unobfuscated search that paying customers use then that makes sense, but I always assumed there was more of a barrier since Usenet seems to have evaded legal action since forever.

What stops Usenet from being attacked legally in the same way, aren't they straight up hosting copyrighted content? I've always stuck to torrents because it seemed more decentralized, especially if you use DHT instead of an indexer.

This is the main reason I always preferred running my own arrstack over paying for realdebrid. Besides mullvad VPN going out of business suddenly (which wouldn't be that hard to switch) or taking down all torrent indexes simultaneously, there is no service that can be taken down using the law that would interrupt my media consumption. And even if all torrent sites went down tomorrow, I can trivially hook back up my arrstack to a dht crawler and ill be basically fully decentralized, pulling infohashes from the ether and downloading using purely P2P technologies with no (practical) central point of failure.

In addition to the possibility of reinforcement bars it could also have to do with the thickness of the tactile pad or it could have recessed spots underneath (to save on material if it was injection molded) that could create an insulating air gap.

That looks like it accepts a 14mm down stem. If you have any other 14mm male tapered bowls or other ground glass joint gear you can try to see if a 14mm ground glass joint fits.

Does it take a while to get the email after signing up? I tried to create an account. I find the tiktok experience interesting enough to try but was always put off by how intrusive their algorithm seemed.

Edit: just got my email, only about an hour so not bad!

I get the same on my Pixel 5 🤷‍♂️

ensuring greater security and privacy for users

Don't worry guys, they're just concerned for the users security and privacy

Wooo more subscriptions!

Hmm interesting, so I guess even though I can see this hours old post, my comment should arrive in several days time. Hopefully I haven't responded to anyone on world with anything important recently.

I feel attacked. I finally emailed my boss to ask for a raise this morning.
