Because of Node-RED i learned a LOT about APIs, protocols and stuff in a playful way. Especially:

-REST

-GET, POST, PUT

-JSON

-Javascript

-MQTT

And all that helped me a lot in my career, just because i wanted to automate a few things. And now Node-RED is just irreplaceable in my private life.

It pretty much feels like the file is just uploaded and a link (string) is generated to communicate that over sound. The receiving browser then just uses that "download link" to download the actual file. The file uri also just downloads a file from their servers.

Just saying, as it's not really mentioned on the site as far as i can see.

I always think how i would feel about a known fire in my house. Would i leave my fireplace unsupervised for a longer period? Definitely not, and that is the one place that should be fireproof.

I use my Octoprint mainly for three things:

1: Controlling the axis for manual bed leveling (yes i level manually)

2: Upload the gcode files to octoprint (no fiddling with micro sd cards)

3: Watching the picam. So i can sit in another room, but so close to hear if a motor jammed or something else.
