Abandoned FOSS projects

Complex social hierarchy is a super important aspect to account for too. In the proprietary software realm, you infer confidence in the accumulated wealth hierarchy. In FOSS the hierarchy is not wealth, but reputation like in academia or the film industry. If some company in Oman makes some really great proprietary app, are you going to build your European startup over top of it? Likewise, if in FOSS someone with no reputation makes some killer app, the first question to ask is whether this is going to anchor or support a stellar reputation. Maybe they are just showing off skills to land a job. If that is the case, they are just like startups that are only looking to get bought up quickly by some bigger fish. We are all conditioned to think in terms of horded wealth as the only form of hierarchy, but that is primitive. If all the wealth was gone, humans are still fundamentally complex social animals, and will always establish a complex hierarchy. This is one of the spaces where it is different.

I find there is more nuance in the camera, framing, and perspective view. Some focus on male gratification, possession, and penetration. I find that uninteresting. There are far fewer that focus on the nuances of female sexual experiences. Then there are far fewer still that understand and capture the art of human form. Like I roll my eyes any time I see a woman with her legs up and back. Even most skinny rectangle body type women have wide hips that are unflattering in the position. Sure some people don't mind or are even into that, but in strictly speaking art terms, like drawing and painting proportions, that is unflattering and not artful at all. I most appreciate when someone frames shots that speak to the subtle psychology of the human form. There is a very real and secret magic hidden in the human form and viewer's mind. Certain perspectives conjure emotions and behaviors outside of one's awareness. What is it exactly that seeing is motivating? Why those shapes? What is it about that mixture of the symmetrical and asymmetrical parts that conjures a primal response. What triggers imagination and wanton lust? What did they intend to focus attention upon, why, would you? What other aspects of self awareness are present? What are their motivations? Where are they? Who is paying for this shoot, why? Is a camera here to avoid issues with some rich prick trafficking? Is this a thinly veiled cuck to the world from the rich? Am I watching nothing more than the bottom of some dude's junk? Who let hamburger meat hair legs in front of a lens? Has she ever seen herself in a mirror like this? How smart is she likely to be based on traits of self awareness and implied complexity?

That is some of what I am thinking about. I'm just curious in lots of spaces. Recently I have been modeling mesh forms in CAD. So I'm in that artist's mindset. Mostly thinking about shapes and places that motivate touch on a level outside of typical human awareness.

I have no confidence it will work or last. I'm not committing to anything either, but at a minimum I need the flattest image possible, meaning a square lens to object from a distance where perspective distortion is minimized. The largest camera sensor (silicon die) will produce the flattest image with less perspective distortion. Each image must contain a known measurement, such as a little machinist's ruler or other. The point here is that the lines of known measurement must be as close to single pixel accurate as possible. I will not take the time to straiten or correct for errors, - if I have the time and feel like making something. The result will likely be ugly and might not work or last. I need to know the angles and sizes of those protrusions to utilize them like a dovetail. I do not trust anyone's measurements, especially my own, and I have no desire to dial you up for the 'measure thrice print twice, measure once unfinished dunce' - rule. I need the Cartesian planes of X, Y, and Z, (right, front, top) at a minimum.

I probably do not have time within my project, but if I'm bored and waiting on a long print, maybe.

Creality Ender 3VE Fan Noise

Jump

𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆 @lemmy.world 6mo ago

The cheapest fans available often have a lot of injection molded plastic that squeezes out of the gaps of the metal mold when the plastic parts are formed. Removing this may help some.

The cheapest fans now come with the small motor shaft embedded into the frame with a tiny ball of metal formed at the end of the shaft. The ball is what prevents the shaft and fan blade portion from coming out of the housing. This type of bearing and retention cause more friction than a design that uses a bushing and a small plastic retainer ring. They type with the retainer ring are usually floating in the magnetic field. The little plastic retainer ring on the shaft end is only present in cases where the fan is dropped causing more force than the magnetic field will hold onto. If a person such as yourself, presses on this type of fan at the fan blade hub, you will feel the magnetic field and see the hub deflect and then return to the center of the field. Spinning it will feel frictionless. With the ball shaft type, there is little deflection and it feels like a bit more friction when comparing two side by side.

With the ball shaft type, most of the noise will be coming from the friction and transmitted through the body of the enclosure. If you isolate the fan with some damping between it and the enclosure it will reduce the noise considerably. Damping the enclosure, and adding rubber feet between any table or surface may also help.

What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

Jump

𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆 @lemmy.world 6mo ago

Preach about the primitive stupidity of wasteful industrial technology and the stone age of silicon. Biology is the ultimate technology. The Neolithic is to us what we are to the age when the age of discovery is over and all of science is a fully constrained engineering corpus. This is the age of biology. At this technological stage, civilization is possible at stellar lifetimes and beyond, unlike the present where critical scarce resources are fully commercially depleted within a century. The ultimate technology is fully integrated into the elemental cycles it exists within.

The only thing holding us back is investment into discovery within a social framework of meritocratic hierarchy. Gross inherited wealth is the terminal cancer of civilizations. Intelligence is not hereditary and the impotence is incapable of managing or filtering innovation and progress. Anything beyond a trust fund for an upper middle-class lifestyle is treason against country and future.

Take for instance space exploration. All of the missions are about military engineering and have little to no basis in science altruism, or progressing the future. If anyone had even a tiny fraction of sense, we would be putting everything into the recovery of a single m-type asteroid. Any of these fragments of differentiated planetesimal cores contains more rare mineral wealth than all of what humans have accessed in the Holocene. We live on the flux, the dross, the garbage that floats to the top when gravity has pulled everything we value within this gravity prison of resource scarcity. Everything we have is the result of the sparse junk that fell to the surface later than the last phase of molten Earth; those outer objects that still contain diverse wealth. We could go right out there and pick one of our choosing. We are the Neolithic fools that never travel one valley over and discover all the resources and technology of the Han Chinese. That one objective eclipses all human wealth in a decade. Instead, we are territorial toddlers bedazzled by the colors on our toy stick's fabric, and no better than chimpanzees mobbing to rape and pillage, with the mass mytho disorder of collective imaginary friends. The biggest businesses in our world of the present are no more that prophets selling technological singularity and infinite energy scams the same as the ancients pedaling Zeus and Apollo. There is nowhere to go down in truth; only to peek behind a façade to see nothing has changed.

I have no clue, but the YT channel Caspian Report used higher quality maps and 3d renders than anyone else did up until a couple of years ago. I think he used to credit them in his descriptions. I know they were a paid service thing. Sorry it is not more specific, but that should be enough to track something down if desperate. Those maps were above any beyond anything other CCs were uploading.

Gross inherited wealth is the societal version of terminal cancer. It is the actual underlying problem that has gone unsolved. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans. No amount of money can replace meritocratic hierarchy at scale. As long as that issue goes unaddressed, this place will crash and burn. Anything beyond an upper middle-class trust for life must be forfeit. That one change eliminates every problem person you know by name.

Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto

𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆 @lemmy.world 6mo ago

Check DNS logs. Discord is proprietary undocumented garbage that connects to dozens of raw IP addresses that have no documentation, rhyme, or reasoning. You have no clue what or who is connected in that mess of garbage, or why they are there.

It is about like, I'm going to give you access to a phone, a special phone, it just works.

It is a prison phone. You are in prison when you use it... technically. But you don't really "see" the "place". The other inmates are all around you. They see you, but you don't see them. Never mind that though, the phone just works. Lots of people love that phone. Nobody asks questions. Just use the phone and pay no attention to all the rest. It will be fine.

Business model? Viability? Never mind all of that. Don't ask questions like that. The numbers do not add up in the slightest. That is the magic of prisons. Justice costs a lot, but it is worth it right. Magic phone is easy. Ask no questions. Expect no answers. Totally normal, everyone is doing it.

The whole thing is a mass of clueless zombie morons that ask no questions and have no idea who what or why they are connected to with all those raw IP addresses. They all give trust blindly without accountability or understanding.

How often are your windows open? What about during Winter? or during Summer? Do you open windows to let in fresh air?

Jump

𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆 @lemmy.world 6mo ago

I'm in a microclimate that is even more unique than most of SoCal. You would have to visit to really understand it. I would not have believed it until I moved here. The temp where I live is 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit different than the surrounding area even just a few miles away. It only exists within a mile or so of the ocean. Riding a bike everywhere for years was quite fun because the weather always gets better the closer I get to home. It could be in the low 40's F at night in Irvine, but it will be 55-60 F in San Clemente in the winter. It may be nearly 100 F in Mission Viejo in Summer, but it will still be 75 F in San Clemente. It has to do with the water, mountains, and how this area is situated at the edge of the LA Basin. It causes the wind patterns to be favorable here across both major regional weather patterns. If you go diving here, it also becomes obvious. There are three major thermoclines even at recreational diving depths and the first one hits hard at just a couple meters down. The cold water is why there are never hurricanes here. Any disturbances of the surface mixes the thermoclines and prevents building strong storms. When the air gets too hot, this area is covered in a marine layer at night because of the water temperature and that is what keeps it much cooler. San Clemente is where that phenomenon starts. There are actually cheesy little tourist shirts sold about the place in Peru that is supposedly the only other location with the same microclimate in the world.

I always have a window cracked open in my room, but SoCal coastal weather is best in the world year round. There are few locations with deep water upwelling AND onshore flow atmospheric patterns. Of those, there is only one other location, in Peru, where it is also a temperate desert.
