  • If you’re running Cosmos as a docker container instead of as the base operating system, then it just acts as a container management UI and reverse proxy. There’s some other stuff built in with their Constellation VPN (similar to wireguard/tail scale) and the app store for 1-click installs. But you don’t get any of the storage management tools from the OS version.

    You can still manage and install docker containers like normal or with compose files and have them show up in Cosmos.






  • Connecting this to two plugs on the same circuit won’t short anything unless one of the outlets is wired incorrectly.

    They’re used to backfeed power to your house from a generator during power outages. Technically not legal to use, but most people aren’t going to pay $1k for a proper transfer switch. They come with the caveat of ‘not to be operated by fuckwits’ since you can kill a linesman if you don’t flip your main breaker before using them.






  • Klipper requires that the printer is running Klipper firmware.

    OctoPrint can work with printers running Klipper or Marlin.

    Main advantage of Klipper is that it moves all the gcode and movement processing off of the microcontroller on your printers main board. Also, Klipper let’s you update firmware settings through a config file without actually having to reflash the printers firmware.

    OctoPrint works great as an easy add-on for a printer running the stock Marlin firmware. Main thing people want is wifi print uploads and camera monitoring anyway.
