I took this approach as well but I let Grub add Windows as a boot option. No mashing keys at post and Windows doesn’t get to touch Grub or Debian.

The screenshot is a little lackluster but the video below shows it off better. The camera is an APSC sensor but the picture fills a full frame with very little vignetting. Up to 100x it looks pretty good but yeah, the DoF is literally micrometers thick.

FreeCAD has a steep learning curve, I’ve only just started with it, but it seems to cover every possible use case. Good luck!

Just PLA, I’ve only had the printer for a week. It will make it though the winter but I’m not sure about the rest of this summer.

You can import an image to an image plane using the Image Workbench then scale it. After that it can be shown or hidden like any other part of your design so you can just trace over it.

Yup, 2010 B2500.

I plan on cranking out replacement and upgraded parts for it now that I got the stringing under control.

I have an old set of vernier calipers that got me all of the non-curved measurements.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, I ended up using a photo to get the profile into FreeCAD. It’s not a friction fit but with the phone in place it’ll never move.

Just because cops are lazy doesn’t makes you less of danger on the road.

Makes me wonder if there are any cyphers that are easy enough that human meat could implement it but hard enough that it would take some serious GPU time to crack?

Around 2007 I had a Windows laptop die on me and drove me to device agnosticism. Maybe I learned the wrong lesson but now I keep my OS and data separate enough that a b0rked OS is an hour’s inconvenience instead of a day’s recovery.

Still, it’s pretty awesome that you can just shuck a drive into a totally new machine and only have to adjust network settings.

Computers are hard, can everyone go back to unobfuscated telephone calls and handwritten letters?

I know it is kinda frowned on but I like to use new directories at root to cut down on confusion as to where things are. Video storage for the NVR goes in /video, user data for Nextcloud goes in /data, etc. But I also keep everything in it’s own LXC so I don’t have one machine with 30 extra directories cluttering up the root.

I have given in to GNOME. Set dark mode, install the extension “Tactile” and never touch the setting again.

There was a Defcon talk a few years ago (oh god it was 8 years ago) where someone found a way mess with Chryslers because they were all on the Sprint wireless network. Things like lock out the physical controls on the radio then max out the volume, or turn it into a GPS tracker, or disable the brakes! The cars had some service listening on port 6667, there was no way to stop them from accepting malicious connections so Sprint just blocked all traffic on that port on their network at the request of Chrysler. The speaker mentioned they were sorry if you were unable to use IRC any more on Sprint wireless.

Which is why I am laying 4 feet off the ground instead of ON the ground. Also the giant hogweed.

It’s a Tensile Trillium. First time I’ve had it out of the bag.

It’s huge, 4m on a side.

Just a really wide angle.
