  • VPN into your home lab isn’t about privacy, it’s more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

    If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

    It’s not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.




















  • I went from a Creality printer to a Prusa Mk4s on the last black friday sale. What sold me was that as they make new machines, you can just buy a kit to upgrade to the next version, instead of needing to buy a whole new printer. They’re also based in the EU, so even if they wanted to, they couldn’t do anything too bad in regards to privacy.

    Doesn’t matter tho, cause I won’t turn on the cloud printing stuff, since I don’t see any benefit. Everything can be done exactly the same way without requiring external services.


  • Just sounds like they’re saying the “slippery slope” is false, but everything else stated was true.

    3d party accessories are being disabled, and you can only use network connectivity if you connect to the cloud. They’ll have a solution for using Orca Slicer, but it still needs to phone home to work.

    Glad I stayed away from Bambu and went with a printer that doesn’t need anything outside my network to use all the features I paid for.
