I haven't had the courage to run executable code from P2P networks since the early 2000s. Even then it was probably a bad idea.

AOL came on floppies originally, but the quality was so poor that you could barely rewrite them.

I'm made of meat.

I didn't find an alternative, when I looked a few months ago.

There is a USB-C IR blaster that exists, but the Tiqiaa/ZaZaRemote app is awful.

Well, if you currently have this problem and want to fix it, I've shown you the way. OpenWrt is free software.

Otherwise, there's no point arguing about it.

Multi-hour downloads have been a thing since capacity was measured in kbps. If a simple TCP transfer causes excessive queueing, then the queueing algorithm is broken.

A router with OpenWrt and luci-app-sqm can fix this problem, at least for an internet connection with a fixed speed limit.

One major AAA game update will likely break your connection
One person in the house uploading anything will cripple your ability to make ANY request

You are describing symptoms of bufferbloat, not capacity problems.

It is possible to smooth PLA using ethyl acetate, but I don't know if that's good enough for food safety, plus you have to remove the ethyl acetate itself.

PLA won't survive in a dishwasher. PETG might, but there are no reasonable solvents for smoothing PETG.

Maybe it'd be best to print a mold in PLA, smooth with ethyl acetate, clean thoroughly, and then pour silicone into the mold.

Here are some alternatives:

  • lemmyans
  • lemmynauts
  • lemmyzens
 

I had some missing LEGO bits, so I found the components on ldraw.org, converted to STL with LDView, and butchered them together with Fusion360.

In this case, I merged 3 parts into one, so I'd only have to deal with 1 interface instead of 5. The sanding probably made it worse.
