It's uncommon, but without thinking about it, I wouldn't have noticed that I wouldn't usually add the "ein" here. I think it emphasizes the affiliation to the group of people.

Re:Restore full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers

well, but it could be. Of course, more complicated to set up, but this connection could be VPN or anything and the printer is (similar to a 2D printer with IPP or similar) just a host with some ports which have to be reachable.
My A1 still has the old firmware where mqtt is exposed - this totally works for me to tinker with, and I don't understand their motivation to cut us off.
I also don't understand their stance to limit client software - I found a bunch of bugs in their package, filed one in their github project, and never heard anything of it, while they continue to ship features. So they don't care for their software (or linux users?). They should allow the community to fix their shortcomings.
Re:Niri 26.04 was just released (scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor)

I'm on hyprland (which also has a scrolling layout). How do you guys navigate between your workspaces? I'm accomodated to super+<num>, which jumps to workspace #<num> with a mostly fixed purpose. If I opened something ad-hoc, I usually know where I placed it. I found it difficult to operate in a setting which more resembles the state of my desk (if it weren't random access).
Re:CadQuery is an open-source Python library for building 3D CAD models
on Friday April 17, 2026 @09:47AM (#47805924)
I have written a lot of openSCAD code, I learned about BOSL(2) and wrote even more, I tried getting into build123d (and failed, as running openSCAD/BOSL2 is way too comfortable to leave it)... the only downside is that AI fails horribly with those libs and frameworks.
I think I heard of cadquery before and decided against it, in favor of build123d.
