I should make a thing that plays a different song depending on how the cable is rotated.

Might be cool for an escape room prop, providing you can also buy the matching jack.


Lately, I've been messing around with adding modern 3D elevation relief to historic maps. This is the original GLO survey from 1859-60 of the Grand Marais, Minnesota area.

Learning how to do this has been challenging. I've been using QGIS > Photoshop > Blender > Photoshop as the workflow.

That is actually really cool! I imagine aligning the coordinate systems of the original map with modern terrain maps would be one of the (many) challenging parts. Your result is amazing, and since you mentioned blender, I imagine you could draw this out from any perspective? Very neat!
in reply to Curt Olson

@clolsonus Thanks. As best as I can figure, these were American Polyconic using a datum that isn't available in any gis program. Maybe something prior to but based on the New England Datum. This is before NAD. I've been using NAD27, but it's usually off. I just fix it in Photoshop after I get it close in QGIS.

With Blender anything seems possible. I like this view and the overhead views the best so far. Here's an example 3d view up Devil Track River Canyon.




Risotto is the greatest. If you’re not making chicken stock* and then risotto tonight, what are you even doing?

*if you’re able to decant the fat the same night, you came out better than me. (I usually just decant after cooling overnight. I’ll get that tomorrow.)

in reply to Emily Velasco

@MLE_online I’m always evangelizing for it. My unsolicited tips are:
-use your own stock
-all the pressure to stir constantly is bullshit

I can give more, solicited tips too if ever requested.

@malachi17RV You can find the current ISO release of my Linux distro here: enux.enitin.xyz/
It doesn't contain the SDDM theme yet.
If you want to install the SDDM theme you can clone the repo and copy the file to either "/usr/share/sddm/themes/enux/" or "~/.local/share/sddm/themes/enux/"
in reply to Enitin

aww cool. I have been messing around with SDDM on and off for the past few months myself. Your config files clarified a few things for me.

Sometimes you think of the starwhale from Doctor Who and draw a little whale friend as you remember the episode. At least that is what led to the creation of this tiny whale.

I draw each of my flat 3D prints in Procreate, upload them to Maker World's "image to keychain" tool, download the file, and then print it. It's a quick way to make hand drawn art into something you can hold. I guess you could also print our your art as stickers but I enjoy the 3D prints.

The second image (video) shows my drawing process. I hope you enjoy this friend!

🇺🇸 A double standard. Trump won’t sanction Russia (yet) because he wants peace talks, says Sec. of State Rubio.

Sanctioning the aggressor? ❌
Blocking weapons to Ukraine to force talks? ✅

Meanwhile, Russia keeps making demands with zero consequences. Why is only Ukraine being pressured to compromise?



⚡️🇪🇺 The EU has no plans to halt arms supplies to Ukraine even if a 30-day ceasefire is agreed, DW reports, citing diplomats.

Ukraine is running out of missiles for its Samp-T air defense systems, Corriere della Sera reports. Kyiv has urgently asked Italy & France for at least 50 Aster-30 missiles to replenish its stocks.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine's missile program is making major strides. The "Long Neptune" has passed tests & seen successful combat use—precise strikes at a 1,000 km range. A huge step for our defense. Kudos to our developers, manufacturers & military. We keep working to secure Ukraine.


🇷🇸 Massive student protests erupt in Serbia against President Vučić. Demonstrations, ongoing for months, are now escalating nationwide. Protesters demand the removal of Vučić & his party, calling for a transitional government. The movement intensified after a deadly incident at Novi Sad station killed 15.

patch: source.mnt.re/-/snippets/14

some notes:
—geometry shaders are afaik not used anymore, at least there was a big effort to replace them in UI
—not sure if multiDrawIndirect is still used (reference: projects.blender.org/blender/b…)
—multiViewPort: projects.blender.org/blender/b…
—gl_ClipDistance is used in a few shaders
—dual src blending mostly in eevee, otherwise rare: projects.blender.org/blender/b…

btw my hunch about what's slow here once i drag the points of that cube is actually the text that's overlaid on top once i do that, not the 3d model itself

I have just managed to find some COVID era large magnetic sheets. I have a colour laser printer, some adhesive vinyl paper and very little shame.

I think I'm going to out fridge magnet my Wife and then make up a load of "you park like a teenager in his first sexual experience" magnets.



L'œuvre de Hannah Arendt est aussi exceptionnelle que conséquente.

On peut l'aborder de manière simple et efficace grâce à ce petit bouquin. En ces temps troubles, les réflexions de cette grande philosophe sont - malheureusement - toujours pertinentes. Je recommande, absolument!
