Which prompt, parameters and model was this generated with?

It’s very interesting to scroll through and I could easily find my way in it. It is also very fast. Thank you for sharing.

I have the tendency to lock everything in place and fixate it based on some logic. For example: I would constrain Sketch010 for PocketGlandHoles so each of the holes is exactly the same distance. Lack of experience makes me want to have a parametric model so I can move things around until I make up my mind. Looking at this file however, it may be better to just model again when things change.

I’d love to have another peek if you screw up with this approach or if you’d have a finalized version.

I’d love to see the FreeCAD files and possibly see the progress too. Looks like a good project to learn from.

I’ve only seen my own (sometimes messy and slow) FreeCAD files and I also don’t get round to publishing anything either. Last time I made an enclosure I made a mess where it became slow because a lot was recalculated based on the position of the components and it had some curved surfaces. I do remember making clips (did not work well) and a ridge (that held up a bit better). Would use screws next time like you’re doing here.

Looks great! Are your files openly available?

I agree. Without an NSFW tag this video auto-plays when scrolling through the feed on Voyager. If playback would require an action to start playing then it’d feel different indeed.

I’m sorry, but even if this was a cockroach being killed, I still think it could be NSFW. None of this should be happening, it does. These are humans on both sides being murdered for no good reason and it is not the sort of imagery kids should accidentally see. The NSFW blurring exists for such cases.

I hope the aggressor retreats.

That being said, I don’t see the sidebar asking to blur right now. I don’t know if it is against my instance’s rules. It feels like common sense to me.

Can this sort of video be tagged as NSFW? Or is it tagged as such and do I have a wrong setting in my client? It is very disturbing.

They are also very Chinese and closed and without a proper Google Play store. I used a HiSense 5c pro as daily phone (hope I have the name right).

Bought it because I’m quite interested in eink. It is interesting to use and it is really usable. It is ok to read text on. I was not able to root it and was thus a bit locked in. The lock screen couldn’t be adapted to my liking and I did not fully trust in what spying it might be doing (like Google location tracking and such).

Looks good to me.

docker-ember largely automates such a setup with specific mounts for linking node modules from other folders, being able to bind to localhost for when you run the backend on your own machine, and exposing ports for livereload. May include other secret sauce. Some of that is closely tied to EmberJS.

I’m a fan of using tools you understand. What you show here is comprehensible and sufficient for now👌

I dropped my FairPhone 5 from a bicycle on unwelcoming pavement at good speed. Broke the camera glasses, the screen protector, the carry case and the back cover. It looked positively destroyed and my first thought was “yay, it’s repairable”. Repairing was easy enough and aside from some war wounds on the side of the case (scratches) it’s as good as new. I’m glad I got this phone.

Aside from being repairable, I also appreciate the e/OS support.

I’m also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don’t see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?

Battery temperature management seems to be a key limiting factor.

At least a few years ago, and likely still, the reasons and conditions under which the barrier layers in the battery degrade were not super well understood. Heat seems to be a key contributing factor and charging a battery quickly warms up the battery and I suppose not fully evenly within a cell. Not knowing the complete extent of this makes the early LEAF’s lack of actively cooled battery a reasonable choice. Before that, the batteries of earliest Prius cars held up way longer than expected.

Like with a phone: heat and cold is not super awesome for the battery. It seems heat is especially bad for longevity.

Mate, I’m not sure you’re making a convincing argument for remote cooperation here. When OP said sometimes, that is clearly the majority of cases in your book but I do read that differently.

Be kind and think of the other people in the conversation. If you want remote to work then act in a way that shows it does work.

Either case, best of luck in pushing for remote work! Cheers

I grew up online and there are people I’ve never met in person whom I can work with no problem. I have never had the need to see someone in person for work myself, but the click isn’t there for everyone.

I dislike generational thinking and this argument seems to play on those lines; I have seen some people working better remote and some working better partially in person regardless of their generation or background. Younger people are more fluent in working remotely but not everyone wants that full-time and sometimes it doesn’t work out too well either. Often working in the office is the worst so let’s make/keep remote the default.

My personal opinion is that we should do everything online which can be online and that people who need to work in person should do their best to cater for working online. It helps with climate and can help work/life balance.

Any form of communication gap is a shared gap. Both sides have to cater to make the conversation work. If OP needs face-to-face then that must be taken into account. If you want that conversation to happen you’d better care for their needs as much as they’ll care for yours. OP may have extensive experience in working with people and may have seen this need on their own end and likely on the other end too. Perhaps even only on the other end. On the spectrum of cooperation I’m sure there will be cases where it helps and perhaps even be necessary. I believe it’s a small subset of situations.

By all means, try to stay constructive and learn from others. Whatever they have learned in the past likely applies to our new ways in another form. I would like it if we could keep improving remote.

I don’t think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation “Augmenting the Human Intellect” (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).

It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was picked up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.

Looking good 😎.

What do you use as a charging circuit and (grid tie?) inverter? I’m interested in affordable components and corresponding wiring.

Assuming you’ll draw less current than the iMiev does, you may be able to get more energy from the cells 🤞

This must be from another timeline. Sorry for the inconvenience, please skip.

User focused applications running on my own internet accessible infrastructure fully based on open standards and interoperable with the Fediverse… Yes please

I’m looking forward to play with this.

Great pick!

The Twingo was very polarising at Renault in its day. It was a fresh air through the make’s boring boxy designs of the day and it can be had with a fully opening roof (not a convertible).

They may well give off the same vibe in 20 years as the 2cv does today. A more modern body and suspension with a happy face but less impressive history. They are not considered memorable today but I wouldn’t mind seeing them around on oldtimer shows.

Given the tiny engine, I suspect fuel consumption will be ok and it may thus be converted a few years down the line when it is cheaper.

No, I came into this for mechanical prints 7 years or so ago. I would expect there to be dedicated Blender fora where you can ask.

The slicer (such as Cura) will be fine. Your printer will likely come with some default settings which will be sufficient to get started.

Blender is the sculpting tool you will master. Cura is the oven. Baking is important, but the general art is in the mastery of the pottery tools.

Assuming this is all new, it is not a small thing to learn. Some are faster than others but becoming proficient may take months if it’s a side gig. It is really fun though. Blender will also allow you to make gorgeous renderings if you’d want but I would stay out of that if you really want to print things as it’s another deep and super interesting topic.

Good luck!
