  • We print with PC at work because we need the best resistance (inside a hot motor). It has significantly better heat resistance than ABS/ASA (113°C heat deflection or higher sometimes vs ASA 93°) and not crazy expensive.

    It also doesn’t warp nearly as much as ABS just in a little tent or enclosure. Glue stick for release on a smooth bed.



  • Also good to note: RiscV is not open hardware, it is an open architecture.

    The CPU’s/MCUs made with RiscV are still 99% proprietary and they can put just aa many backdoors into the devices as they want with little no no oversight, arguably less because you have orders of magnitude less external bug and penatration testers.

    Definitely in support of RISC-V because like AV1, open standards are the first big step, but it is good to note that “security” may or may not be better as well as the company behind it.


  • I completely overlooked the android app in the readme, thanks! I have a server set up so can I start local to try it out and migrate to a server later?

    Also is there support for mealie through an authentication platform like authelia?

    Any plans for releasing on F-droid?

    Edit: Oof, you can’t search for foods when making a recipe or meal, hopefully that comes because otherwise it is a huge process to make any custom meal or recipe…




  • Every discussion I have seen on the subject says that docker ipv6 is pretty busted from a security perspective and you have to implement a bunch of workarounds.

    I don’t have to time both to migrate to podman (and maybe have to run dual stacks for what isn’t available) AND migrate to ipv6. But apparently the way podman does it is also kind of a hacky way (I am far from a networking expert) so I will sit with my pretty decent, secure, and working ipv4 lol





  • Yes, but also on the hardware level.

    I don’t know enough about OS programming to know if it is the architecture or the (closed source, as mentioned) CPU design itself that is more difficult to implement.

    Looking at the MCU space, even with a known architecture (like ARM), each processor has to be individually implemented in software and firmware which is a ton of work, and the only people who necessarily know how are the processor designers unless it is open source. But take that with a big block of salt, because I have never done it, just looking at industry practices.





  • Not according to the documentation.

    Qobuz connect is something else that only got released 1 year ago. Spotify Connect even is only still in alpha on Music Assistant and that has been around for many years.

    You can already for years simply find library items from qobuz in the music assistant UI, but playing music to an external Music Assistant provider directly from the Qobuz app on a different device has yet to be implemented.

    Unless the documentation and github issues are all wrong. If you are able to just do that by default, you probably want to give some information as to how on the github feature request.


  • Oh for sure! I am just meaning specifically the Spotify Connect casting in general.

    Then you don’t have to use Music Assistant’s really clunky and weird interface and anyone that comes to your house can just put on music from their own account and own app direct through WiFi without worrying about Bluetooth connection and signal.

    I just looked and apparently Qobuz has a Connect feature that launched last year!

    I hope Music Assistant integrates that! Apparently digital hi-fi systems are also still busy integrating the functionality, including Sonos/IKEA. It would help a ton of people switch to quobuz


  • It is a handy tool.

    The coolest feature is the Spotify Connect which turns your MA speaker into a Spotify Connect satellite to play to directly from the app. (I know, Spotify is terrible, but it is an admittedly Connect is a very very good feature in both Spotify and MA). Sadly, it is very buggy when testing. For me it worked well for a while, but now it bungles Spotify encoding and plays very very slow and distorted

    It plays my home library very well through my ESP32S3 DAC to my old 90s Yamaha AV receiver and amp. (Side effect of also being able to control the sound system via HomeAssistant and IR and use voice assistant on a MEMS mic.

    Like others have said, the interface is very clunky and bad for browsing your library of local music, but oh well. I also wish it had a radio function for your local music.
