In-reply-to » Yeah, @eapl.me, I kinda like file extensions in some situations. What do you think of twtxt.exe, @bender? ]:->

haha, that’s gold xD.

#randomMemory I remember when I was starting to code, like 30 years ago, not understanding why my Basic file didn’t run when I renamed it to .exe

And nowadays, I’ve seen a few Go apps in a single executable, so twtxt.exe could be a thing, he!

In-reply-to » Goodbye Blender, I guess? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know, nobody asked 🤡 but, here are a couple of suggestions:

  • If you’re willing to pay for a licence I’d highly recommend plasticity it’s under GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3.
  • Otherwise if you already have experience with CAD/Parametric modeling you could give freeCAD a spin, it’s under GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0, it took them years but have just recently shipped their v1.0 👍
  • or just roll with Autodesk’s Fusion for personal use, if you don’t mind their “Oh! You need to be online to use it” thing.

(Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)
I bet you’re talking about blender 2.79 and older! 😂 you are, right? JK

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mostly small and simple stuff, like cable management, headphone rests, pill dispensers (that I didn’t end up using), … The most elaborate thing I made was that contraption for my keyboard, which is a bit hard to explain right now, so here’s some photos:

I didn’t end up using that, either. 🥴

In general, I print very little. So little that some of my supplies have simply gone bad, like that “3D LAC” (sprayable glue).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, I saw that when googling the issue. I’m on Linux, there are no DLLs to swap. I could use an older version indeed. 🤔 Let’s see if I can find some better alternative first. (Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)

In-reply-to » Imagine if all computer UIs would act like the UI from my NAS system... I feel I need to be waiting for output from the machine like it's 1973.

Yeah, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! “Sorry boss, I accidentally removed the bug report, because the button suddenly materialized under my cursor.” :-D

Luckily, I do not have to deal with that UI from hell for three and a half weeks very soon.

In-reply-to » There's this something about this Halloy #IRC client's look I can't find a proper word for. Aesthetically pleasing maybe? anyway, it feels nice.

@skinshafi@thunix.net I tried it (still have it installed on work laptop), didn’t like it. The comfort I get from having a web based IRC client (and bouncer) available at all times, from everywhere, can’t be easily replaced. :-)

“A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 4.3 or higher is required. Installing the latest driver for your graphics card might resolve the issue.”

A bit annoying, but not much of a problem. The only thing I did with Blender was make some very simple 3D-printable objects.

I’ll have a look at the alternatives out there. Worst case is I go back to Art of Illusion, which I used heavily ~15 years ago.

In-reply-to » I'll be using another URL for this twtxt.

@eapl.me@eapl.me you could use the tw.txt as your primary url and keep the old one as a secondary for a while (maybe even do the opposite) maybe even create the new tw.txt file and make use of the prev metadata pointing at the old … 🤷

# nick = eapl.me
# url = https://eapl.me/tw.txt
# url = https://eapl.me/twtxt.txt

or …

# url = https://eapl.me/tw.txt
# prev = https://eapl.me/twtxt.txt

I’ll be using another URL for this twtxt.

The older one will redirect to the new for a while (I’m not sure what would happen if you follow both URLs, I assume it’s better to add the new one and remove the older)

Please update your following list to https://eapl.me/tw.txt !
