This mastodon instance has been down for a few days and in the mean time I have continued to enjoy using my new GoToSocial instance.

Followers should be moved over to @[email protected] in a few hours.

First day of testing #gotosocial went very well. So I just loaded in all my follows from @amd

There are only a few small drawbacks to GtS and they’re all being worked on. I’ll test a couple more days then hit the move from my old mastodon instance.

I’m going to give GoToSocial a test as a replacement for this personal instance.

You may see a follow request from @[email protected] as I start evaluating it further.

Who is out there on GoToSocial and can recommend the best iOS app?

Is it just @phanpy as a PWA?

My kids named my van the Millennium Falcon, so I felt it would be fun to label her with the name.

Slicers have gotten so good at customizing models that I designed these in @FreeCAD specifically to be easily customized using slicer primitives and is printable […]

A closely cropped shot of a Chrysler minivan showing the front grille, bumper, license plate, and a partial license plate frame with the underlined text "Millenium Falcon". The license plate a California blue plate with the number (E)792098. I only mention this level of detail to give the visually impaired the same chance of stealing my identity based on a cop plate from another state that my dad stole in college sometime in the 80s. A screenshot of OrcaSlicer with the license plate back banner model loaded and an example text added in the slicer. The part is rendered in one color and the text "The BluesMobile" is rendered in a different color.

I’m getting much more comfortable in @FreeCAD.

The 1.0 release is much more resilient than it used to be and I’m getting much better at doing things the freecad way (I think…)

I still have yet to tackle the assembly workbench.

I too have deleted my account that had literally tens of dormant followers and perhaps even dozens of tweets going back to the days when it was still fun in 1973.

You all should know how I have sacrificed.

I built up this Trident about a year ago now and I’m still so happy with it.

It’s not the best at anything but it’s pretty damn good at everything I’ve asked it to do and it’s been a reliable workhorse.

If you’re DIY printer curious, I recommend it. There’s […]

3D Printers of the Fediverse: how do you handle heat soaking for printing styrenes or polycarbonates?

I have a #voron trident with bed fans that gets reasonably toasty (60-62C) but it takes a while to get there. I currently have a heat soak macro built into my `PRINT_START` macro but that’s a […]

I love my Ploopy Headphones but I unfortunately use multiple machines at the same desk and moving the usb cord is a bummer.

Is there some sort of device that will let me mux 2 or 3 computers in? or can I somehow reroute audio from other (Linux) computers into my primary workstation?

Note: the […]

Me, 1 hour ago: “how long could it take to resize a system partition? It’s on nvme and I’ve got a couple hours before I want to use this again.”

My computer now: “14% complete…”

Setting up an #immich install to see if I can get it to replace iCloud Photo Library.

I've never had anything self-hosted that was able to cope with >1tb of media (across dozens of formats) but people speak highly of it.

The app on my phone did crash twice on setting up the initial sync, but […]

Literally the last thing I use my Macbook Pro for is archiving the photos from my iCloud Library to a non-cloud, neutral format.

Is there a way to export the still *and* live photos from the iPhone to a USB connected SSD?

A lot of people have done versions of this tool, but none of them were right for my calipers or the magnets I had on hand.

And worse: None of them used an open CAD format that I could edit to correct that.

Here is my libre version of a radius tool for the […]

Three samples of a 3d printed radius gauge for the back of a set of calipers sitting on a 3d printing bed. One is attached to calipers to indicate how the tool works, another is sitting right side up but not attached to calipers to show the relief to fit the caliper bolts, and a third is flipped over to show the embedded label that has the equation required to use the tool.

If you're coming to @FreeCAD from other CAD packages and are missing pockets that are offset from the sketch plane, here's a trick.

For these magnet pockets I wanted them 3mm deep but offset .5mm from the top surface.

You can do that by doing a two dimension […]

[Original post on social.amd.im]
A screenshot of the freecad user interface showing a model that has two recessed cylindrical pockets. The pocket parameters are open in the window and show that it is has the type: "two dimensions", the first length is 3.5mm, and the second length is -0.5mm. This creates a feature that is 3.5mm deep with the lower 3mm of the cylinder pocketed and the top 0.5mm of the cylinder remaining solid.

Fellow 3D printing nerds of the internet, hear my call:

Is it possible to dock or otherwise reposition the notification window in @FreeCAD ?

I like the notifications, but I can't stand that the window just seems to appear wherever it wants, and I cannot seem to find a remedy in the documentation other than turning […]

[Original post on social.amd.im]
The control panel user interface in freecad, the notification area tab is highlighted to show its settings. There are a variety of settings in the form of labeled checkboxes and input fields. These allow disabling or modifying the settings for the notification window and what is displayed there, but other an input field for the width of the notification window there are not settings guiding placement or location.

If this is real it’s a great add to iOS 18. I believe GrapheneOS has a similar feature for similar reasons.
