Huh? This is from July 2023. There have been many of these proposed before, and possibly a few since. Looks like you need a license to distribute files these days anyway.
I spent a few years designing 3D printed guns for fun, none of them were effective or well known, and I never manufactured any myself. I did that that as a teenager, before there were laws, and it’s what got me into engineering before I pursued a degree. This was pretty early on in hobbyist 3D printing, it was all super experimental. Ultimately, 3D printing is just one method of manufacturing - there are many out there, and honestly the barrier of entry is low regardless of what method you choose. If someone has the skills to run a 3D printer, they can buy the hardware store components to make a gun regardless.
The better bet for legislation would be to more comprehensively ban unlicensed manufacturing, whatever the method, and more strictly regulate which parts may be bought unlicensed (barrels, trigger assembly, magazine, etc). On a personal note, I think it’s too deeply engrained in American culture to shift anyway, but I hope we keep trying to change the world for the better l (stricter background checks, more stringent home safety requirements, etc.)
Yes
Yes, twice (download from home to the server, and upload from the server to the client)
I do the same thing - I have a 3TB limit, but usually only use 300GB, sharing Jellyfin to a dozen or so users.
Edit: I’m sure there are plenty of good VPS providers out there, I personally have been using NerdRack for a few years now (got a VPS on special and the rate is locked as long as I keep it). Looks like they’ll do $11/year right now for a KVM VPS that’s sufficient.
