Schon zur Einführung der Eisenbahn gab es Bauernproteste, weil sie glaubten, dass die Eisenbahn mit ihrer atemberaubenden Geschwindigkeit (etwa 30km/h) die Kühe verrückt machen würde. Die Zeiten ändern sich, die Menschen aber nicht.

No one but complete morons are asking to specifically make a product by emitting carbon dioxide. No company is emitting co2 for "the global citizens". They make products to earn money. Emissions are an avoidable by-product no one asked for.

Also found it hard to justify being an electrician when electric cables need plastic insulation. Hard to separate electrical needs from the oil industry when the insulating material comes from the oil industry.

That's a pretty extreme take. Industrial plastics are one of the better uses for oil. It's fossil fuels and single use plastics that we have to eliminate.

  1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER" MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL.

Not an American, but it really reads like they redefined 3D printer as meaning "literally any kind of cnc machine".

Thanks, bot. Good bot!

!luthier@lemmy.world is woodworking-adjacent and could use a bit more activity.

Also will er schon einen Sozialstaat, aber nur für jene, die nach den Säuberungen übrig sind.

Also seeing a pretty clear linguistic link between "vielle" and "fiddle."

In german it's Fidel (like Castro). And I've been told it's distinct from "Fiedel" (long I like "feeling"), which describes a cheap but modern violin.

I wonder if the "rough" sound you describe would be at home with various European and North American folk traditions.

Pretty much. Tbh. it was the soundtrack of witcher 3 that got me into folk and early music and making my own instruments.

One step further would be to make an instrument with horsehair as strings, like tagelharpa or кобыз (kobyz)

It does sound more rough and archaic, far less "sweet" than a violin. But that has a lot to do with the setup, less with the body shape. No soundpost, but quite long bass bar. Then the bridge style makes 50% of the sound. This crown shape in the pictures is really harsh. I've replaced it with a rebec style arch bridge (sadly have no photo of it atm), which is better but still distinctly medieval. I also fitted and tried a modern violin bridge, which makes it sound pretty close to a violin!

Please note that vielles are not standardised like modern violins. It's really any violin/viola sized bowed instrument with flat or just slightly arched back and top. This is really just my design loosely inspired by old paintings and modern makers.

Also the hair on the bow has a huge influence on the sound. I rehaired a baroque bow with black horsehair, which is very coarse and gives a rough sound.

Most if not all commands from the DOS version still work in AutoCAD 2023. And using a mouse is also still optional.

Rabbit Junk - Neurodivergent would be a prime candidate for this thread.

 

Ich bin durch einen Post hier in der Community auf den "Volkslehrer" aufmerksam geworden und habe dadurch eine Zeitschrift gefunden, die sich tatsächlich "Nationaler Sozialismus Heute" betitelt. Aktuelles Thema: "Säxit" (unironisch).

Leitthema: Los von Berlin?

Das Leitthema dieser Ausgabe wird seit vielen Jahren in nationalen Zusammenhängen kontrovers diskutiert und wird – leider! – durch das volkszerstörerische Handeln der Herrschenden auch noch lange Zeit aktuell bleiben. Sollen deutsche Familien oder auch Einzelpersonen aus den nord-, west- und süddeutschen Regionen wegziehen und sich konzentriert in Mitteldeutschland ansiedeln, um dort kleine Bastionen für die Existenzsicherung unseres Volkes zu bilden? Oder kommt diese Strategie einer Kapitulationserklärung gleich, handelt es sich gar um „Verrat“ an unseren nationalen Grundsätzen, wie es manche besonders radikale Kritiker bezeichnen?

Wir sprachen zu diesem Thema mit Robert Andres von den Freien Sachsen über die Möglichkeit eines „SÄXIT“, also einer Abspaltung Sachsens von der BRD, und Axel Schlimper stellt eine Modellregion für einen möglichen deutschen Ethnostaat in Mitteldeutschland vor. Den Gegenpart übernimmt Micha Müller, der sich gegen eine rechte „Westflucht“ ausspricht. Im darauffolgenden November/Dezember-Heft werden wir das Thema mit weiteren Gesprächen und Aufsätzen weiter vertiefen.

Sorry dass das hier weniger lustig ist als die anderen Posts, aber es ist ja nicht minder verschwurbelt.

 

It's basically a 10 inch screen matrix for SLA printers, a 130W blacklight lamp from Amazon and a ground glass for even lighting. The lamp gets very hot, so the two fans blow air over and under it (split cooling channel). The parts touching the lamp are printed in Greentec Pro Carbon, electronics box and cooling channel are printed in Geeetech matte PLA.

 

I have multiple gauges with varying curvature. I fear that if I use a flat stone, the curvature might get irregular.

 

Printed with greentec pro carbon (stiffest filament I've found so far). 8 perimeters, 45% infill, top/bottom 2mm. The arms are 230mm long. The design and material of the C frame are still not stiff enough to be usable, but I'm pretty proud of the lever design. Easy to put together, durable and doesn't wiggle to much.

 

I found this while looking for ways to make cyberdecks smaller - a keyboard controller board can be just as big as a pi zero, wasting much needed space. The QMK kernel module allows the raspberry pi to be used as a keyboard controller, while still running a full os.

 
 
 

Portfolio to USB adapter stack:

  1. Portfolio Serial Module
  2. Gender Changer
  3. Null Modem adapter
  4. RS232 to USB adapter

I can send and receive files on the Portfolio via xterm2, on my modern PC I use TeraTerm to communicate with xterm2 over serial using the XModem protocol.

I also wrote an image converter to convert jpg to pgf (portfolio graphics file). I haven't yet implemented the compression to write pgc (portfolio graphics compressed) files directly. I use pgcompress on the atari to convert pgf to pgc. Pgc files can be viewed on the Atari using pgshow.

I got all software for the portfolio from here: Portfolio Library
