i like kind machines. pro-people-not-dying. anti-nazi. anti-colonizer. pagan, but lazy about it.
I am #HardOfHearing, #nonbinary, polyamourous, into ttrpgs and #tech. Hobbyist #leatherworker, hobbyist scifi author, community builder, and artist.
I like to build #whimsical things that help people to #dream better and form meaningful connections. If you wanna hang out with friendly computer weirdos in Minneapolis, lemme know.

the topic of what trans (or adjacent) people picked for names came up in a channel i'm on, and i'm kinda curious where the hell they all got their names from (due to a high density of certain names), so i'm doing a Purely Unscientific™ poll on a site full of people who could answer this. answer if you want, please boost if you want, i ain't gonna do shit with this info
(also: testing if polls on this dingus even work)

Fun fact: Phi (~1.618) is really close to the ratio between miles and kilometers (~1.609), which means you can use adjacent fibonacci numbers to quickly mentally convert back and forth between them.
for instance: 21 kilometers is roughly 13 miles (it's actually 13.05)

Bad vibes, sexism
@mithrandir@raru.re it's a good strategy, though. Or asking them to compare specific things you know about and looking to see if they dodge addressing the technical parts of the question.
Bad vibes, sexism
@mithrandir@raru.re I've done this and been 'well, actually'd' on the thing I'd just made up.
Please just dismantle the patriarchy. ...in minecraft. 🙃
@montagsoup I don't think that should be a problem. I mostly mean, like, you'd just get an stl and it would kinda amplify all the imperfections. That's the kind of noise I mean, not scanning artifacts.
You can use a spray on clay, but I think the surface should scan in okay. Use like a powder, dry shampoo spray, or metrology spray.
@montagsoup yeah. There's some tools like haptic gloves that might help.
The downside of a clay first situation is noise reduction upon getting scanned in and a loss of hierarchical geometry data that comes from the cad construction process.
It'd be really rad to see improvements on this stuff, though. There do exist 3d scanners for help with this, but it's not perfect.
@forestjohnson whoa, dude, this is awesome!

Hype Machine's Merch Table scans your Spotify Wrapped playlist to show you what is available for purchase on Bandcamp, and since tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday it's a good time to support the artists you've been listening to this year:
@drwho@hackers.town I don't think so. Chrome can auto translate most vital bits if you need that.

Looking for donations for server hardware, boosts appreciated
So uh, hypothetically speaking, do any of y'all have 4 TB of redundant NVME storage laying around and are within driving distance of Minneapolis?
Cyberia.club is going on a hardware upgrade road trip to expand our Baikal server. We're looking at maybe four 2 TB NVME drives, if anyone's feeling generous and/or has a pile of them somewhere.
Otherwise, donations towards new crunch are appreciated over at https://cyberia.club/donate. No pressure to send us dosh, we'll love ya all the same. 🖤

remember that time a north african merchant(?) named constantine was in italy and a guy in the hostel was sick and they called a doctor and constantine was like "uhh aren't you gonna take a urine sample" and the doctor was like "a what" and constantine was like "…" and the doctor was like "…" and then constantine africanus moved to the monastery of monte cassino and spent the rest of his life translating arabic medical texts into latin,
because i think about this probably every single week
