Knight Panther by John Blanche, 1986
  • I’m not sure why but it looks almost like a miniature or a “Honey I Shrunk the Knight” scene

  • Echoes of Wisdom is so good.
  • I’m looking forward to it. Just worried that it’ll be as short as Links Awakening

  • I always get them confused.
  • Enders Game instilled the importance of adjusting your frame of reference. What was up can become down.

    So it’s science fiction but when you consider a collaborative global human response to existential danger it’s fantasy.

    But the Shadow series shows how quickly we go back to weaponizing and using gifted war trained children as tools of conquest… so realism/horror?

  • Good Computer Handbooks
  • If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.

    Assuming it’s advising disabling it at the router/switch level and not just a per device level.

    Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)

  • How do I make my own internet?
  • Or a LAN. Could do a WAN which itself can be interconnected over a wide area. Usually by routing over the internet but you could use something like satellite uplink or miles of dedicated cables.

    But the interconnection of multiple LANS and WANS is what would make an “internet”.

    So maybe 2 universities joining their own networks would be moving towards a private “internet” but I think we’d still call that a private network or a WAN.

    It’s interesting to consider where the definitions change.

  • Clever guy
  • Air only has so much resistance itself. High enough voltage and the closest path to ground is where the charge will go.

    Just like with Lightning

  • I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers
  • Exactly… this printer is useful honey.

    I can make parts for the printer, accessories for filament management for the printer.

    Halloween decorations… once I get the printer back online when I have this mod finished.

    Parts for another printer.

    Mounts for the brooms… when more filament comes in since I used the last of it for the parts for the new printer.

    Save 450 on a unique appliance part they’re not making anymore which now justifies the thousands I’ve spent on this thing.

    Seriously though. It is a fun hobby and if you want to just print and make things and not tinker there are plenty of good options out there. Me? I like tinkering. It’s a blast.

  • I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers
  • If I don’t design and print something I could buy I might be tempted to do more mods for my printer.

    Things like this give us… balance. Luckily I have a new project… building a Voron so it’s both something new AND printing printer parts.

  • A great channel for topics like this.

    This video goes into the expansion of spacetime as well as cover how internally those forces don’t affect local spacetime because of the mass/spacetime curvature.

    Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere

    Although I have to agree with the top comment regarding this being my favorite channel I don’t understand. But the more I watch it the more I start to get a sense of a lot of it and I actually am understanding some of it

    And yeah, we don’t know what, if there’s anything, it’s expanding into.

  • [newbie] Does one need special drivers for running 3D printers?
  • It has its strength. The downside to blender is it’s geometry based unlike Fusion and others that are parametric.

    Where this shines, for example, is when you’re defining a circle with a given radius. If it’s 4mm in a cad program and you export to STL it will be polygon based. But you can adjust the density of the export and, if you need to, scale your cad up 200%, 300%, etc and export again. Always resulting in the closest approximation of that circule in the stl or export. This way you don’t lose any fidelity. Blender does have some great tools for interpolating points in a mesh so it’s not useless either.

    The best analogy I can think of is raster and vector. Doubling the size of a vector doesn’t result in aliasing. But, likewise, doing a high quality image of something photorealistic is not great on vector.

    I use Fusion for cad modeling. The parametric design workflow allows me to adjust measurements, etc and have them show downstream, etc. But if I’m going to import something that’s already an 3d model I’ll use blender and mesh mixer to cleanup the model first.

    I’ve also used just blender when using game assets to pose a model before exporting to a mesh for use in a slicer. Since, again, it’s the tool for the job.

  • OceanGate’s submarine relied on ‘idiotic’ Excel spreadsheet
  • You’re absolutely right. Excel isn’t the issue, controllers aren’t the issue.

    The controls and navigation were proverbial canaries in the coal mine to the bargain basement approach to design and materials purchasing for components that were under pressure.

    Destructive Stress Testing, redundancies? “That stuff costs money. I know better than any ‘bloated’ established and experienced agency or company because I can save a dime”. That attitude is what killed them and doomed the entire venture from the beginning.

  • Bracing for the worst
  • What a poor ending that was.

    Somebody suggested a better ending which I like too. Having Archer flash out and quantum leap into a cowboy or something and go “oh boy”

  • Mlem scroll issue in 1.3.5 [resolved with update 1.3.6]

    I just updated yesterday to the 1.3.5 release.

    Unfortunately now when I use my thumb to quickly scroll posts and comments it doesn’t respond.

    But if I stop, and move very slowly it does register the scroll. After it finally does scroll then for about 10 seconds or so it behaves normally.

    This doesn’t happen, however, in the top half of the screen. Just the bottom half.

    Thank you again for all the hard work you do on the app.

    Singer 8606 Manual/Parts?

    I got a singer 8606 from a yard sale and am having trouble finding a manual online and what parts work with it?

    E.g. compatible bobbins, needles, etc.

    [EFF] User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer
    www.eff.org User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. (See more about this movement and joining....

    I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as

    Copyright/DMCA Safe Harbor CSAM Law enforcement/warrants/info inquiries

    And not included (since it’s focus is on US legal issues) but I’m curious about would be other regulations such as EU user data retention
