Setting up remote access to Bambulab 3D printers that are on a different VLAN than yours is a pain in the ass.
Bambulab has chosen the wrong path. It might carve out a niche among users who aren't very tech-savvy when it comes to 3D printing (and who aren’t interested in learning either), but all of us nerds who have used their printers are going to tell them to go to hell.
By the way, if you're trying to set up remote access using pfSense or OPNsense, here's a great …

Incident Report: CVE-2024-YIKES
A series of unfortunate events.

The interior department is canceling a rule that put conservation on equal footing with development,
as Donald Trump’s administration eases restrictions on industries and seeks to boost drilling, logging, mining and grazing on taxpayer-owned land.
The 2024 rule adopted under former president Joe Biden was meant to refocus the interior department’s Bureau of Land Management,
which oversees about 10% of land in the US.
It allowed public property to be leased for restora…

A “good year” for forests changes less than it seems
The rate of tropical primary forest loss fell sharply in 2025, reversing the record highs of the year before. On paper, it looks like progress. In reality, the dip is likely only a temporary reprieve. The decline followed an exceptional year for wildfires. In 2024, drought helped drive some of the largest fire-related losses on […]

I have a JPC-12 vertical antenna. On the good side, it puts the coil 4' away from the base, reducing coil losses by not putting it at the point with the highest current. On the other hand, it's stainless steel with significant real resistance, so even that reduced current still heats it up substantially. Some of that heat could instead be radiated RF!
I am considering rewinding the coil with lacquered silver-coated copper wire for substantially-reduced real resistance, as KA7O…

Court clears way for Louisiana law requiring Ten Commandments in classrooms to take effect
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for a Louisiana law requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms to take effect. The full court voted 12-6 to lift a block placed on the law that a lower court first issued in 2024. In the opinion released Friday, the court said it was too early to make a judgment call on the constitutionality of the law.
