Q2: There is a 3D printer for chocolate now, what would be the material you'd most like to 3D print with (or knit with, if you prefer)?

@makershour@a.gup.pe

@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A1 #MakersHour in terms of my creativity working in the gardens (there is a level of creativity), my title would be: Sisyphus the Gardener.
Otherwise, maybe:
The Tangled Yarn of Ropey the Goat or
The Two Speeds of Ropey the Goat
But I'd still like to do:
The Maker of Trees
I've actually done a 1st coat on the front of the new house this week

Q3: Bio-technology seems to be evolving quite quickly - what kind of home bio-making would you be interested in doing? (I don’t know what it means either. Let's see what you all come up with.)

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe #MakersHour Glass?

Okay, so I have a 3D printer, it's able to print a lot of interesting materials. If I want something out of metal, there are already SLM printer shops I could send it to. Chocolate... dono, doesn't feel that fun. Ceramics is a possibility but I did that at the wheel and there's something magical lacking with 3D printed ceramics.

But glass... I love glass and 3D printed clear materials are fairly unsatisfying.

@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A2 #MakersHour if i could the plastic, glass, tins and paper i put in my recycling bins into a printer that would be amazing .
Otherwise anything that would produce time or a device to grant more of it

Adventures in #OpenBSD episode 0x819fa:

"I want my own secure cloud storage."

EASY.

  1. Get a Hetzner storage box and set up an rclone mount with sftp and crypt enabled on it on the Macbook
  2. Try to mount the same thing on OpenBSD only to realise after a lot of digging that the mount option is missing for rclone on fishlinux because of underlying FUSE implementation incompatibilites; THEREFORE do the logical thing and
  3. Ask @gyptazy really nicely for a @BoxyBSD VM running FreeBSD
  4. Figure out how to connect to it from home internet that doesn't have IPV6 (the answer is, jump host from @OpenBSDAms for initial setup of tailscale, then once BoxyBSD VM is in the Tailnet, can ssh / mosh in from home)
  5. set up stuff on FreeBSD like doas and whatnot
  6. Finally get to a point where I can install rclone
  7. Copy over config from MacOS using tailscale file cp ( :flan_heart: tailscale)
  8. Scratch head over file permissions as usual
  9. Screw up some file system stuff as usual
  10. Finally mount the encrypted Hetzner box over rclone on the FreeBSD vm
  11. Mount the blasted thing over sshfs using @solene 's tutorials on the home box

NOTHING COULD BE SIMPLER. :flan_XD:

Q4: If you could create anything from the atoms up, what would you think about making first?
#MakersHour
@makershour@a.gup.pe

any ideas for new 3d print projects? I am running out of ideas.

I mean until I try to tidy up a room again.

Assuming claiming that I've already done that years ago(🤭urchin and the troll boy now in their 20's) doesn't count... I didn't think so...

something that automatically searches out, finds and destroys all the celandine in the garden borders. The searching and finding shouldn't be hard. IT'S EVERYWHERE. The lawn... it can stay. I'm not vindictive and I'll choose my battles

Q5: Someone near and dear has said they don't want you to buy them anything for their birthday, but MAKE something. What are you making, for whom?
#MakersHour
@makershour@a.gup.pe

@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A5 #MakersHour yeah "they've" said that before and then been super dismissive of hours of effort and shown off the "bought" gifts they received! Ahem oh sorry! I'm currently taking a variety of things for my nearestand dearest... but they're OBVIOUSLY SECRET 🤫🤣😂🤣

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe #MakersHour This is either a tough one or not a tough one?

For a chunk of people, this is "come over and I will make you the yummiest meal"

I used to do pottery but my wrists are messed up.... but pottery used to be a great thing for gifts, which makes me sad.

The rest of the stuff I've been doing lately doesn't feel like the greatest of made gifts?

Thank you for a lovely #MakersHour tonight.

If you would like to offer up some questions of your own for the bank, that would be much appreciated.

Just tag #MakersHourBank.

Thank you.

@jtonline Don’t do it!!!! Haven’t been on there or clicked a twit link in about 1 year! Mental health greatly improved 🙂

Hunter Greene with 6 pitches of 100+ MPH in the first inning. Last time he had that many 100+ MPH pitches IN A GAME was May 19, 2024 at the Dodgers.

@suearcher @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe a gentleman walking in the drive this evening said I was undertaking a lifetimes task when I said I was thinking of changing my name to Sisyphus his comment was. That's an interesting name. I think he didn't get it

I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like

"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

Help me get rid of sale items and extra unlisted earrings!

@suearcher @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe I'd like a magical cabinet like Omri has in The Indian in the Cupboard

Yes I have, in fact we've used CryptPad forms for our last few signon letters!

I also mentioned CryptPad as an alternative to Google Docs and Google Drive in the "organizing on decentralized social networks" session I did -- here's a summary (from thenexusofprivacy.net/notes-on)

@Em0nM4stodon's article for @privacyguides has a deep dive on the whole suite at privacyguides.org/articles/202

US occupation of Greenland would mean Canada has fascists on all sides, as AK is off our northwestern edge and RU is across the water for nearly half the circumference of the Arctic Circle. US+RU are already going to accelerate climate disaster in the Arctic.

T-minus 38 days until our Portland conference! Are you a first timer at Write The Docs or still on the fence? Ask a question in a comment. Have you attended before? Share a piece of advice, or your favorite part of our event.
We can’t wait to see you on May 4-6.

Let’s help each other out—are you a first-timer at Write The Docs or still on the fence?

Who do you trust, a pathetic talk show drunk we appointed, or a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT?!

Greenland understands the assignment. And Canada needs to be all over planning for Arctic relations WITHOUT the US. We need a trade and security AND ENVIRONMENTAL alliance from the entire length of our North coast through Greenland, Iceland, and the Nordic region.
