I got a hand me down 2015 Kindle Paperwhite from my daughter—is that a hand-me-up?—after we upgraded her to a new Kobo Libra Color. I used #WinterBreak to jailbreak and got #KOReader installed and it’s a nice little reader that syncs easily with Calibre. No Amazon involved. The Kobo Libra is […]

This past weekend our family went to a YMCA camp for a family camp weekend, which is just like it sounds. All the classic summer camp fun but for a whole family. They’ve purposefully made a wonderful, inclusive environment for families of all shapes, sizes, and identities. Essentially all the […]

Just spent a lovely weekend away from it all on Orcas Island. If you ever have a chance to visit, the San Juan Islands are a wonderful place.

To the dad who just leaves his kids shoes in the middle of the walkway: Do you ever wonder why there are fifteen kids in the gym but not a single other pair of shoes in the space where people walk? Lockers. There are no less than four rooms of lockers in the gym, find one of them.

Took a minute to play with the tools in the Fused Filament Design add on @rahix created for @FreeCAD Pretty impressive. I am going to have to use the hole tool more often to be able to really make use of this... I usually just sketch and pocket my holes, but […] [Original post on gts.amd.im]

This is such a cool concept for early warning. “”” A NASA-Smithsonian collaboration has revealed that carbon dioxide released from rising magma makes surrounding vegetation greener, a subtle but trackable signal. Using satellite imagery and ground validation, researchers are crafting a powerful […]

I wonder if Giancarlo Esposito knows or cares that the Sonos voice assistant that bears his voice is exceedingly awful.

Electronics folks, I’m looking for an easy to use connector that I can use for installing a filtration unit under the bed of my voron 2.4 printer. It’s going to be in an airspace between a 110C heater and an ACM deck plate so it will likely be quite warm but not oven hot. Something like a […]

I love this use of “extra” space from the Pi-Tin folks. I’m a competent enough solderer, but it will still be kind of fun and reassuring to test my skills with the extra bits. …Or maybe I use it to teach my 8yo about soldering… […]

Overnight a 31 year old lilac gave up in the rain and uprooted. We knew it was going to happen eventually. It was growing out from under a large cedar and was poorly angled against the grain of the hill. But it’s still a bummer. At least today was sunny so I […] [Original post on gts.amd.im]

I was printing bits for the electronics bay on the 2.4 and had a small diversion. I printed the snap in mesh skirt inserts for my trident. The stock skirts are so open they just look unfinished to me. These are a small addition but they make things look a lot […] [Original post on gts.amd.im]

Well I have found the problem with 3D printed springs. Left compressed overnight, they creep — at least PLA does. #3dprinting

Quite a few years ago now, I was asked to look into making the third generation iPad from stainless instead of aluminum. Steve and Jony liked the look of the iPods and thought it would carry over nicely to the iPad. It was **hard**. I think we did a fairly good […] [Original post on gts.amd.im]

Sorry about the self boosting if I'm flooding your timelines a bit. I'm doing a little troubleshooting with my instance and outgoing posts. (This is also a part of that troubleshooting)

I just got a chance to read the Design for #3DPrinting guide from @rahix that went around last week. https://blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/ Such a great set of guidelines. I learned quite a few of these the hard way and it would have been great to have something like this when I was […]

Do I know anyone with the interest, capacity and hardware to receive (via mail) ~20TB of videos by trans creators on LTO-6 tape and upload them to archival storage? They are believed to be at imminent risk of censorship/takedown. They are currently within mainland USA so ideal would be mailing […]

Ok #homelab fam. I have about 10-15 years of #selfhosted hard drives. I need to make them unreadable before it recycle them. As I retired systems I took the chassis to my county’s tech waste disposal place. But I kept out the hard drives figuring I would […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Has @linuxmint responded anywhere or are they just going along with it? The silence is weird, right?

Some previous owner of this property decided that it was good and fine to let oregano consume a whole corner of the yard. I don’t think I’ll ever be rid of it… …but it does make weed whacking smell nice. #gardening

Framework's diagnostic LED sequence design is a wonderfully human piece of engineering. Quite a comprehensive set of checks, and the status LED is on the *outside* of the machine! So you can just record a video of the blink sequence and compare it to their […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Does anyone have any cool schemes for storing extra build plates? I have a couple 300mm build plate spares now and would like to do something better than just tip them up against the side of my printer. @3dprinting #3DPrinting

I’m looking forward to this one. I don’t play a lot of AAA games nor long sessions and I would be plenty happy with an 80% regular charge for some extra battery longevity. https://mastodon.me.uk/@kevie/114477783212309056

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry. Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka #Plushtodon) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website. Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon […]

Filling supers. Queen got a little frisky and put a hair of brood on a couple of these. I really don’t need more bees. Anyone want a split? #beekeeping
