in my experience brand filament was less hassle to print with.
I bought cheapo noname filament a couple of times from different manufacturers and it was very hit and miss.
Worst case was I fiddled with printer settings for 6hours, drying it multiple times and many failed prints. Then I put in bambu filament and it printed perfectly with default settings.
But best case was just as good as the expensive stuff.
So you have to know yourself how much the gamble is worth it to you, what your frustration tolerance is etc.
I'm just speaking for me, as a senior software architect with a decade of experience:
Solving problems is the fun part.
Designing a good architecture is the fun part.
Making sure the project is high quality, clean and elegant is the fun part.
Typing all of that out (for momths and years mind you) is the boring part. For me typing is what comes after thinking. My brain goes into that adhd state where I have to pay enough attention to type the code, but not enough to be engaged. I'm getting so bored while typing code, I can't sit still for 30 seconds. Time gets slow. I get uncomfortable. I keep being distracted. I start thinking about something else and start making stupid mistakes.
I much rather explain my vision, architecture and solution in a detailed text (which helps me think about it in more detai) and then do hours of code review (guess I'm weird for liking that) and "thats wrong, redo it" until I'm happy then type all of that out myself.
There is a lot I hate about "AI", but sparing me from that rage-inducing manual slave labour is not one of those.
If I could hire a human to do the typing I'd do it. But an LLM subscription is so much cheaper than even the worst apprentice.
but when testing with creepjs.org it always detected my OS as linux, no matter what browser or extensions I use or which useragent I set. But when I tried tor browser with js enabled it detected windows.
Does anybody know how tor does that and if so, how can it be applied to firefox or librewolf or whatever (either config or patch) ?
I wanted to upvote you, cause I am not psrt of the anti-ai mob, but then I read you last sentence and the rest of this thread and holy fuck are you unlikable and unbearable.
The list of functional differences is too long to write here. I'm sure you can ask some llm to do the google search for you and it will shit out an ungodly amount of differences.
But I'd say roughly they are about:
how you configure it (sudo has a much more complex and expressive syntax, doas needs many more lines for the same result)
how it preserves env variables (sudo has more options for that, it excludes some by default while keeping others and can spawn subshells differently with -l -i)
how it does persisting authorization over some period of time :
doas on OpenBSD caches via a kernel API.
The slicer69 portable doas port has no persist on Linux/FreeBSD - you re-enter your password every invocation.
OpenDoas implements persist via timestamp files, similar to sudo but with fewer tuning options.
