I imagine it would be something like the wireless energy beaming tech in this TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxrB7PDLJ18

Do you have the URL saved anywhere? Or maybe the URL is correct when you get far enough to see the "Private Community" window on Reddit? Worth trying an archive search if you have that: https://archive.org/web/

That's a fair point - I guess all I'm saying is that they all can show up within your feed if subbed to the same communities.

Admittedly, I didn't know there was a difference in vote counts when viewing across instances. I had assumed the votes would be synced to those accrued on the specific post's instance but it sounds like that may not be how it is done.

I like the idea that tags could facilitate a sort of one-to-many and many-to-one relationship structure, where a pickle community could say it is related to "Canning" and "Cucumbers" among others, and potentially populate in the feed of someone interested in prepper stuff or in the feed of someone interested in vegetable gardening. I'm sure I'm not using the DB terms correctly but they feel indicative of the modular structure this could allow.

I like this flexibility better than the idea of a consolidation of subs into one themed silo, but I could be misunderstanding the structure of the mulit-reddit proposal if it allows for this.

A food dehydrator or the purpose built Sunlu would work great for this purpose, but in my opinion there are easier procedural ways that don't require additional appliances.

I just keep my spools in a large sealing storage tub with an oven safe tray of loose silica desiccant beads at the bottom. Every few weeks the tray of desiccant gets put through a heat cycle in the oven (about 150-75 for 10-15 minutes) and goes right back in the bin. You really only have to fight the moisture that gets absorbed by the spool while on the printer before going back in the tub, and the moisture within the air exchange every time the tub is opened.

Keeps my spools nice and dry without much fuss.

Agreed - this was my initial concern as well but now that I've gotten used to the structure here it doesn't seem like an issue. The whole Digg > Reddit > "New Monolith" wasn't ever going to solve the problem of enshittification, it would just buy us some time, and probably not much at that. This feels a necessary paradigm shift, and the multiple overlapping communities really turns into a failsafe more than an inconvenience.

They all still populate the same on a feed if you're subbed anyway.

I'd love to see a review post on the MK4 whenever you get it/get to know it. My MK3S+ still runs like a top after 4 years and many hundreds of print hours, so I don't really doubt Prusa's quality. The new model coming soon is the only thing keeping my from picking up the MMU.
