  • Just yesterday, I've helped a dog get back to its home for like the 3rd or 4th time, the owners often don't see it getting out while the garage door is open. The dog recognized me from a certain distance and was more than glad to guide me towards the garage door.

  • That's a piss poor RICH find

  • For the size I want to print, a pure cube won't cut it, but I did manage to make a form-fitting mold by making the cube hollow, then removing the cube proper, being left with the mold proper.

    I've been spending quite some time trying to figure how to properly cut the mold into 2 or 3 parts in a way that I can actually close the thing and pull out the cured silicone without it deciding it'd rather stick to the cured resin. I've given some thought on making a single use mold, but I also gotta figure how to ensure its interior gets enough release agent to help me demold.

  • Brazil. 60% federal import tax on stuff over 50 dollars (shipping costs count), plus ~34% state tax on top of the already taxed amount

  • I don't have a FDM printer

  • I've been trying to make/print a usable mold of the model, but due to its irregularity, i've been having a hard time doing so in blender, even with metaballs

  • Formlabs is WAY beyond my pay, I'm afraid. 349 USD is over 1500 BRL, and that's the price without shipping or the 96% import tax. The Resione i can buy off alie is ~60 dollars for 1L, final price.

    can you substitute geometry structure to provide “softness”.

    Not really, I'll need the squishiness on the walls, which will be 1.0-1.3mm thick

  • Baby calfs (calves?) are cute, the dumpster ain't pretty to look at and looks worse covered in gold

  • A monkey paw finger curls

    Hey look, the brits are coming again!

  • They would know Christ: they would be in the front row yelling for another crucifixion

  • You're not wrong, since the way the post explains it, govts can't force protocols to adhere to certain laws, but can force services, including those self hosted, to adhere, which makes the whole "use protocols" point moot.

    On the other hand, so long as there are many service offerings of the same protocol, like some 2000 different XMPP chat servers that can all communicate with one another, it becomes a game of whack a mole.

    tldr the article should be "don't use completely centralized services"

  • God please, this can't be a honest question

  • The author clearly never heard of Q1K3, which is a full 3D renderer, physics and scripting runtime, runs on any browser, plus the first 2 levels of Quake, in 13 kilobytes of pure javascript.

    Godot sucks for making web targets. Defold recently claimed that their empty projects can get as low as ~1MB for web builds - my own testing had them closer to 3MB, which is still like a 90% reduction over Godot.

    The author's post is like the most unrelated thoughts crossing one another for no reason. Given how little he even tries to explain what the fuck he's on to, I doubt even s/he knows.

  • Graphics in computer operating systems are, as a rule of thumb, a nightmare to program. My best experience with that was Delphi/Lazarus, which is a simple drag and drop to build the program window, though being Pascal, it's verbose as fuck.

  • People talk a lot about the protocols that power Bluesky vs. ActivityPub, because we're nerds and we believe deep in our hearts that the superior protocol will win. This is adorable. It flies in the face of literally all of human history, where the more convenient thing always wins regardless of technical merit. VHS beat Betamax. USB-C took twenty years.

    Hopefully, unlike betamax and laserdisc, the fediverse will trudge on despite the megacorporate protocols
