Last Notes npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I've just started blocking brand accounts. I'm here for your first person narratives, ya dang meaty weirdos. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers @nprofile…834x I'm catching up with their last few months of videos in preparation for the relaunch. Exciting! npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Working on #boats is like this: npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers FOC boards like Odrive's, though lovely, quickly drive up the material cost of mechatronic bodies. A quadruped can easily use a dozen motors so the possibility of cheaper knockoff FOC for hobbyists is appealing, if a bit risky and futzy. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I wonder whether anyone uses lead acid battery cells as keel ballast. Cast lead is common but that doesn't store any power does it? npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers "I should buy a boat" cat but eating lunch at a workbench and thinking "I should build a boat". npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I'll be twenty photos into appreciating a gorgeous boat and then a photo of the IC engine will pop up and it's ick. Separate from all of the politics and ecology, I'm just not into fuel-burning machines. 🤷 npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Groggy morning thought: Scrap punters: a fun event where people have a week to build a boat* using only tools and materials already in their possession and then we all meet up at a lake to toot around in water shallow enough to stand. Maybe there are ridiculous categories but it isn't a competition. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Tell me you don't follow best practices without telling me you don't follow best practices. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I don't know who needs to hear this but there's a cheap and cheerful boat building process called "stitch and glue" that can produce a variety of hull shapes and sizes. If you've always wanted to make a boat in your backyard/garage/bedroom then check it out. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I don't think it'll fit in my van but this is a lovely old bit of drilling kit. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I'm pretty happy with the PocketPD as a wee bench power supply for my workbench on wheels. The new firmware comes with what look like useful features and quality of life improvements so I'll have to give that a whirl soon. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers The goal of collaboratively creating the chip design equivalent of the Linux kernel and GNU tool chains is excellent. I hope we get there. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers If one's goal is to make a web page with text that is readable by variety of people then I implore you to check how it renders on small screens such as on a phone or using the built-in developer tools on desktop browsers that emulate small screens. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Anybody want a folding engine hoist? For a bag of good coffee beans I will deliver in the greater Seattle area. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Ok, scifi film fans. My search chops failed to find the name of a film where someone stranded on a distant planet tries to scavanged parts from a Russian rover with a big bear animation on its UI. The bear repeatedly speaks error messages in Russian which the protagonist doesn't understand. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers With four crew it's crowded but if I had this space all to myself I think I'd be fine. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers The FreeCAD 1.1 release notes' Sketcher section alone is enough convince me to update. Group dragging! https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_1.1#Sketcher_Workbench npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers @nprofile…ynd9 oh, no! I hope everyone escaped. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I had to set up a temporary bench in the middle of the shop space to crate up the remaining four Alto display replicas commissioned by Dr. Kay. When these ship to their new museum homes I will be out of client work and truly retired. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Groggy morning thought: a browser extension that blocks domains controlled by the user's choice of billionaires and media conglomerates. It could also be a PiHole (or equivalent) blocklist, I suppose, but not everyone can/wants to run PiHole. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're looking for a lightweight alternative to Calibre for reading epub then check out Foliate. It's available in many Linux package managers and does just the one thing: display books. Calibre is too much of a lifestyle when I just want to read a dang book. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers The best advice I have for new nerds: Refuse to pay rent. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers If you're thinking about taking your small group out of Discord and you want to self-host then check out Zulip: https://zulip.com/self-hosting/ npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers Hugs to people in the Meta VR team. You made great hardware and system software but your leadership blew it both ethically and strategically. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers This is a fun interpretation of the C64 design for a modern laptop. https://youtu.be/H5QQ0ECfwyE npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers It's come to my attention that some people believe the Y2K bug was a hoax and/or scam. If someone in your life is such a person then here's a video that may help. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers As we enter a period in which gifts are given, often to children, I would like to give a gentle suggestion: Refrain of taking anything from a child's hands in order to show how the thing works, no matter how the learning process goes. Instead, point and ask questions. npub14pv3wwx6hm290any4h39j8tnv6lgt7dj5j4cc09ejftgndt7n39strvsgs FFS, Flowers @nprofile…wfqx The W3C is captured by the simple tactic of the big corps sending 10 people for every 1 from other groups. Having any effect in standards is a full time job and it's expensive to travel to the meetings so few small groups have a chance to have influence.
