  • I set it up on my Raspberry and run it locally in island mode. So I use it separately from duckduckgo. The quality of the results depends on which mode you use and what you are crawling You can set rules etc. for the search results or their sorting, but I haven’t dealt with that, but it looks powerful in terms of scope. The tasks for crawling can also be set very precisely, including how much hardware resources can be made available for usage and much more. You can also set when and whether these are repeated. With the depth, the whole thing can quickly take on extreme proportions and should not be exaggerated. As I don’t surf the web that much, I have relatively few sources. If I don’t find anything and have to use DDG, I take the domain from the best result and create a new crawl task and then start it. It is definitely worth a look. If you really want to, you can definitely host a powerful search engine yourself.





  • I can only advise every first-time buyer not to choose a prebuilt but to assemble it themselves in order to learn everything directly and gain experience.
    I bought the mk4 prebuild as my first 3d printer with enclodure and it worked wonderfully. Except for problems at the beginning due to wet filament etc. but it’s not due to the printer itself. Then I installed the MMU3 later when it was available.
    After that I had slight problems,
    especially first layer problems, which I was able to fix. then the release of the mk4s so I ordered and installed the upgrade. Initially had massive problems which I would not have had if I had assembled the printer myself and had experience.
    The troubleshooting was unnecessarily time-consuming as I had practically disassembled and reassembled the printer but was still successful. At some point (after several successful start-ups and printers) I started up the printer and wanted to print something. Since it had always run smoothly before and never had any really bad problems,
    I sat at the PC with headphones on until I looked at the printer and saw that it wanted to become a CNC. Printing plate damaged but still usable, nozzle damaged but could be repaired, heater and thermistor destroyed.
    The support was very cooperative but of course I got the heater and thermistor replaced as they are not wearing parts.
    I am still extremely happy and can only warmly recommend prusa


  • The problem is people’s stinginess. They want to save money and buy from China. The manufacturers help themselves to the OSS community but do not contribute anything - on the contrary, the manufacturers undercut the OSS alternatives enormously. They have no development costs or anything else to compensate. So that the OSS solutions do not finance the development for other companies and push themselves out of the market, the only option is to lock it in. It’s the people who want to get into an expensive hobby on the cheap.

    Edit: example about developing stats.

    PrusaSlicer

    PrusaSlicer is our own open-source in-house developed slicer software. The PrusaSlicer team consists of 13 full time developers. As of January 2024, we spent a total of 145,720 work hours developing PrusaSlicer (that’s over 16 years of non-stop work by one developer). While only about 10% of the original code remains, we are still extremely proud that PrusaSlicer is originally based on the open-source project Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci. Each of the source files has a short header with the list of all contributors. We believe this is the right way to acknowledge whose shoulders we’re standing upon.

    PrusaSlicer is a completely free, feature-rich, frequently updated tool that contains everything you need to export the perfect G-code for your 3D printer. Today, the PrusaSlicer code powers most slicers on the market.
