The most striking incongruity with our modern era to me is that the family was all outside when the blast occurred. With pervasive screens, we just don't get outside like we used to. And why on earth was that dad mowing when the house

This sounds so interesting. Are there other all-in-one platforms? It reminds me a little of Citadel/UX ( https://citadel.org ) or software for the Reticulum Network ( https://reticulum.network/manual/getti

I'm building a greenhouse. The frame is done, and I've got plastic and a door on it. Next, I'd like to build boxes to hold soil and allow for easy watering.

Thank you. I do think it has uses beyond sewing; enlarging art, for example, or perhaps painting stage backgrounds, or maybe laying out patterns for building something out of wood.

I build a computer app to make it easier to do projector sewing. This allows you to take a PDF sewing pattern and use a projector (often mounted on a ceiling, shining down on a cutting mat) to see that pattern at life size. You can then eas

This is interesting as I've been working on localisation for an app I've made. It's in Electron. I find it super frustrating that when I ask for `navigator.languages` I get 'en-US' first, even though I have my langu

I've only tried Valentina/Seamly2D but yes, most of these programs let you export your design as a pattern that can be constructed, typically as a PDF. Once you have a PDF, you can: 1 - print it in poster format across many pages

Take a look at Snap. It was originally a scratch mod, but does allows for all sorts of advanced things. https://snap.berkeley.edu

I've got an Electron app in the works which I'm planning to sell to Windows and Mac users (probably through the platform's app stores, using in-app purchases). Is such a thing possible with the Linux market? Can I sell my sof

Do take a look at the results from the citizen scientists doing a potato diet study, and now a "half-tato" diet: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2023/03/13/half-tato-diet-comm...

You need to look at the documentation page to get a sense of what this thing actually is.

Looks like the price has finally come down a bit, but it did seem to be $2000+ for something with a saw stop, but only $200+ for a regular table saw, making it out of reach of many home handypeople. Interestingly, as I recall, nearly as man

This is surreal to read. I've always had a printer. The last one we got is a Brother MFC-J5945DW. What's really nice is that it has refillable ink tanks (I'm using 3rd party refills to save a ton of money) and it'll prin

Take a look at AREDN, the Amateur Radio Emergency Digital Network -- https://www.arednmesh.org . They use commercial WiFi gear (see https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-platform-matrix ) with custom fi

This is so exciting. I've got an old netbook and decided to put back on the OS it originally came with, Windows 7 Starter. I was so surprised when I couldn't run updates; I finally attributed it to having old security certificates

I stumbled across a project called DietPi -- https://dietpi.com . Scroll halfway down the main page and you'll see many SBCs that it works on and might be good alternatives. Khadas are not on the list, though; I've neve

FYI, the internet archive hosts a ZIM archive that has dumps of wikipedia and many other works. https://archive.org/details/zimarchive I wish it was a little more obvious how to search it, or what all the variations me

When I was trying to use it keyboard only, I never could remember the magic shortcuts to access the menu bars, even after tweaking system preferences. Using the keyboard with Windows or Linux was way easier, IMO.

This sounds interesting. Unfortunately, the blog author didn't link to Blackbird, and there are many things with that name. Is it an open-source project somewhere?

1) Indoor exposure (ie. lack of time outdoors. For example, we need sun exposure to create vitamin D; the supplements are nowhere near as good.) 2) Inactivity. Our bodies need to move to be healthy.

Just slogging through the day. I have trouble putting in 8 hours a day these days, but don't know what to do about it; I did tell HR I was burned out (and I don't see that I can financially afford a stress leave). I'm applyin

Is there a nice way (ie. not screenshots) to print piano roll notation?

I think Clairnote is pretty neat. There are more alternate musical notation systems at http://musicnotation.org . The current system we use because it is the one experts know and music is written in. I'm sure it could be wor

Sounds amazing. Can you offer some insights in how other people might apply your approach? Are you a contractor? How can you tell if someone is offering a job of the sort you want, and how do you convince the gatekeepers you can do the work
