Ahoy Kickstarter experts - I made a rookie mistake in setting up my reward tiers - not offering a local option rewards to eliminate the need to ship for local backers.

I'm waiting on an answer from Kickstarter, but it looks like if I want to use their Pledge Manager (which would manage all the tax/VAT stuff), I also have to use it for shipping - which means shipping everything, even rewards for local friends, etc.

Anyone know of any workarounds?

Is there a simple way to deal with the taxes on my own? I have 60 backers, not all of them have physical (taxable) rewards, most in the US, so not insurmountable if I need to deal with that.

God, I am such a slow guy... I have many projects I wanted to do. But, my brain always looking for distraction after that.

I have tried Pomodoro method, it is sometime works... but often time, I still prefer distraction over doing something.

Any suggestion?

Hey #makers what material would you use for this project?

I want to make a set of lawn poetry, like magnetic fridge poetry but with non-magnetic and bigger pieces to play on the ground outside with friends.

I want it to be big enough to read off the ground while standing, and light enough to easily bring to picnics. Looking at the magnetic sets, I am guessing I will make 400-500 word tiles (ranging from "a" to e.g., "bedazzled")

Is nerve growth and regenerative medicine a pipedream? I want to do a phalloplasty after my terrible, non-consented, vaginoplasty, ideally in 4-8 years. But since I suffered necrosis on my neoclitoris and the tissue is heavily scared, I don't know what to do.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm in a bit of a pickle and I could use your brilliant advice.

Long story short, I need to wait an extra 24 hours before attempting to set up Jellyfin on my Raspi (waiting for gear to arrive).

I thought: maybe I could try a low tech / oldie solution first. I have my entire music library super well organized in iTunes (RIP). It's on an old Macbook Pro (2011) connected to an external drive. I can play all the tracks from that computer. I just resurrected my iPhone 6 (capacity: 64GB) to repurpose it as an iPod. My entire music library is 'only" 40GB so the iPhone could hold it all.

Only problem: iTunes on my Macbook Pro does not recognize the iPhone 6. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect to it. I suspect the firmware is too old (on the Mac / too new on the iPhone)... I could not even wipe the iPhone with that old Mac because it couldn't connect to the Apple servers.

The iPhone 6 is completely empty and has iTunes! (Not Apple Music but actual iTunes). It even filled with some tracks I had bought (not sure how).

What would you do in this situation? Are there any workarounds?

My old Macbook Pro is running iOS version 10.8.5 and iTunes is on version 12.0.1.26.

My iPhone 6 (wiped clean and re-associated to my Apple ID) is running software version 12.5.7.

Apple discontinued iTunes support years ago in favor of Apple Music and streaming subscriptions (no wonder, because 💰💰💰💰💰).

I wish I could put my entire music library on my iPhone 6, le sigh. I technically wouldn't even need Jellyfin.

I also have an iPod Touch (1gen) that may connect to my Macbook Pro but its capacity is only 16GB.

What would you do?

Actually y'know what i'm just gonna shoot this shot.

Hello tech and sysadmin people of fedi: if you're running an active IRC server. Can you give some pointers on setting up an (out-of-network, so not really connected to any other servers) IRC server for a very small group? Also some pointers for stuff like Anope/similar management tools.

I'm not exactly server-savvy, since my experience is writing 100% offline software, but i'd like to get off discord with my friends.

I really don't know what to do about this server. The development of #Firefish was abandoned last year. If I downgrade to an earlier version, I can then migrate to #IceShrimpJS and eventually #IceShrimpNet. I like this because then I could go back to using @[email protected] on my phone. I'm (reasonably) hesitant to rely on a smaller project again, though. I've got no qualms about setting up and using @[email protected] but starting from scratch would necessitate using a different subdomain.

Why do YOU think I should do? Is there a satisfactory option I've not considered?

feeling not so good rn :(

took 5 days to copy a rice (the only dotfiles they had was of an updated ver of their rice, which i didn't like)i saw that was a minimal type saying after this i would focus on studies and other stuff cause i'm doing shitty in those but now that i finished that rice, i just feel like a cheat and unhappy with my rice. haven't even started with the mako, screenlock and other stuff and my config file is just a mess

ik i should just move on but every time i look at my pc i remember this and i kinda need it for more than half of my hobbies...

sooo, any tips for me on how to cope with this? or do i just have to git gud

Any chooms got some 3D printing advice?

I have a bedslinger (Sovol SV06 ACE, PLA), and any lower profile prints have been perfect, but I wanted to try this cool paper-holding rat to print for my son, and I have tried 3 times and it comes loose from the bed near the top of the print. Of course then it just air prints.

Things I have tried:

• Cleaning the bed with 96% ethanol (I do that before each print anyway)
• Using hairspray on the bed
• Increasing the first layer thickness
• Adjusting the z-offset for more squish
• Adding a skirt of 8mm
• Checking all the temp settings: bed 60C, first layer 210C print temp 200C (as specified on the PLA spool)

I'm using orcaslicer, I think the one thing that's left to try is reducing the print speed, but I hoped that wouldn't be needed...Maybe there is a way to slow the print as you get further up? Or maybe because I'm such a n00b I missed something obvbious

Hello #fediverse! I need suggestions for a new laptop. I am most comfortable with windows PCs & have been anti Apple (mostly bc they have less storage for more $) but I do not like windows 10 or 11. I do not want copilot or any AI horseshit or spyware disguised as a service. I know that people are going to suggest Linux but I had a Linux laptop that died & I don't have time to maintain it. I will probably purchase from Costco. Is a MacBook worth the money? #adviceWanted #adviceNeeded
