If it helps, it’s the only thing I think of wherever I encounter it, bus lines, taxi numbers, number plates, street numbers, you name it.

So, yeah, I think it’s funny.

TIL that it’s about relative temperature, rather than absolute. In other words it’s news because it’s the highest it’s EVER been, rather than because it’s a high temperature.

I live in Australia and we regularly hit 40°C.

This year we hit, 42.9°C, last year 44.7°C, the highest on record was 46.7°C. In other words, it gets hot.

Why is over 30°C in the UK news worthy, what makes that more significant than when we hit 42.9 on a Monday?

Here you go:

• Digi-Key
• Mouser
• Element-14

It’s OK to use 200 instead.

So if we all stop buying Starlink … the music stops?

Good to know.

That’s a fair comment, but there’s a secondary reason I suggested it, eliminating the OS as a potential cause. If it still crashes while booted into memtest86, it’s much more likely to be a hardware fault, on the other hand, if it stays running overnight, it’s more likely to be software.

Make a bootable USB or CD with memtest86 and boot from it. Then let it test your memory. Based on what you’re describing, it’s a good candidate for a fault.

I apologise, I saw S3, never even noticed the “OVH”, nor had I ever heard of it.

I’ll leave my original reply as is with an added disclaimer for anyone who follows down the same path.

Have a look at your AWS billing console, since data egress is charged and downloading to verify is considered egress.

AWS S3 supports data checksums where a checksum is calculated at AWS, which you can compare against a checksum that you calculate locally.

This is an article that goes into how it works, but I’ve not (yet) tested it, but I’ll be following in your footsteps pretty soon.

As an aside, make sure that versioning is OFF on your backup bucket unless you specifically require and understand it, because even when you delete objects, they persist as a previous, all but invisible, and charged(!), version.

My former backup software “helpfully” enabled versioning and I was left with a $600 monthly bill for six months while there was no actual backup being done due to a local hardware failure, until I figured out what was happening. I used that software for years and shudder to think just how much extra it actually cost.

I will note that while I had a catastrophic hardware failure, I didn’t lose any data.

Finally, if you’re storing data in Glacier, retrieval is charged at different rates, depending on timelines of access, so it might be that your backup software is using the slow tier to “save” you money.

Edit: OP advises that they’re not using AWS, instead they’re using OVH. The object storage solutions appear to be mostly compatible, but I was unable to discover if the OVH implementation supports checksums.

No.

Bambu Studio is forked from PrusaSlicer, licensed under the AGPL.

PrusaSlicer is a fork of Slic3r, also licensed under the AGPL.

Next time the company will write their own code and not steal it from the community, or they’ll comply with the licence under which they’re building their business.

What’s particularly troubling is that this is not the first time that Bambu Labs has done this.

s/see/watch/

I didn’t see any other video in relation to this.

As I understand it, the author of the AGPL has recently posted about software that’s including closed source modules and the person who was told to cease and desist has documented exactly what the issue is based entirely on Bambu Labs’ source code. There’s also discussion about reverse engineering.

I don’t know if any of that is new ground or not, as I said, this is the first video I watched on the topic, it randomly turned up in my feed.

I think that below is probably a fair summary, but I note that I’m a FOSS user and contributor and this is my opinion.

There is a case to be made that there is an AGPL violation here and the documented evidence and commentary is growing.

More people with knowledge on the subject are apparently weighing in.

As a software developer, I think that this case is important because there is a growing trend by companies and individuals to hide source code from the community, even if that software was originally licensed to them under an irrevocable licence. In this case, as I understand it, the Bambu Labs software is a fork of Prussia Slicer, which itself is a fork of Slic3r, all of which is licensed under the AGPL.

According to this source: https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2021L00617/latest/text

460 – 470
FIXED
MOBILE 286AA
Meteorological–satellite (space-to-Earth)
287 289 AUS98

286AA The frequency band 450–470 MHz is identified for use by administrations wishing to implement International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) — see Resolution 224 (Rev.WRC-19). This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band by any application of the services to which it is allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. (WRC-19)

287 Use of the frequency bands 457.5125–457.5875 MHz and 467.5125–467.5875 MHz by the maritime mobile service is limited to on-board communication stations. The characteristics of the equipment and the channelling arrangement shall be in accordance with Recommendation ITU‑R M.1174‑4. The use of these frequency bands in territorial waters is subject to the national regulations of the administration concerned. (WRC-19)

289 Earth exploration–satellite service applications, other than the meteorological–satellite service, may also be used in the bands 460–470 MHz and 1 690–1 710 MHz for space-to-Earth transmissions subject to not causing harmful interference to stations operating in accordance with the Table.

AUS98 The harmonised frequency ranges in the 400 MHz band are used for national security, law enforcement, and first and second responder agencies. These agencies include police, fire, ambulance, and emergency rescue. These agencies are normally consulted about use of this spectrum for government purposes via the Commonwealth, State and Territory representative arrangements established by the National Coordinating Committee for Government Radiocommunications[1]. The harmonised band comprises the following frequency ranges:

• 403–403.98125 MHz,
• 405.01875–406 MHz,
• 408.64375–410.54375 MHz,
• 412.46875–413.43125 MHz,
• 414.46875–415.44375 MHz,
• 418.09375–430 MHz,
• 457.50625–459.9875 MHz,
• 467.50625–469.9875 MHz.

Welcome to the community!

Apparently the petition went up in November 2025 and has a year to get enough signatures. Last I saw it was near to the halfway point of acceptance.

I came across it because I saw a post announcing that Inkscape was supporting it.

No doubt the threat of a Stripe ban on Kickstarter is predicated on the expected ban on Stripe by MasterCard and or Visa.

In other words, online censorship is being controlled by two credit card companies.

We really need more payment processors, preferably not based in the USA.

Basically two choices:

1. Find a project you’re interested in and make a contribution. Many projects tag certain issues with something like “Good First Issue” as a way of lowering barriers to entry. Other things are updating documentation, fixing typos, then you can branch out into patches and pull requests.
2. Make your own FOSS project.
