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.

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 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

climate 

@thegibson@hackers.town yeah, seems about right. It's not consistently hovering around freezing here and it's the end of November. I grew up with sub freezing Halloweens and this is weird. Fifteen degrees above checks out here, at least. 😬

a few years ago, i started thinking "you know, it would be pretty cool if somebody took seriously the idea that G-d has no gender and came up with a third-gender system in Hebrew and used it to make a de-gendered siddur. i would love to see what that looks like"

and then i was introduced to the Nonbinary Hebrew Project and i was like "wow! i hope somebody uses this to make a siddur! that would be really neat!"

and then i was like "...oh, i'm somebody, huh"

@thufie tbh, if they're called casseroles, they probably are doing it wrong, though.
