Hello everyone!
This instance will shut down later today! I have to sell the NAS as it is not working properly any more, and I have to switch to another one. I don’t know if I come back in the future. It was nice for the moment, and thank you for all the hints and tips and tricks. But sorry. I do not see a benefit of posting here any more. Time to move on.

So please update all your bookmarks and links.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish 🖖

We are looking for an automatic dehydrator to dry vegetables. Since the vegetable and beef broth from the supermarket contains too much palm oil and additives, we always make it ourselves. But it seems to use too much electricity in the oven. Besides, I could also dry fruit with the dehydrator. Does anyone have such a machine and can recommend it?

@darch@neotxt.dk Did nvAlt with SimpleNote in the past. But it lacks the ability to add images. Unfortunately. Also waiting for - I don’t know 10 years now - for nvAlt2. Brett is not getting it finished, I think. When will it ever be finished?

@shreyan@twtxt.net Can’t use it at work. And it is a bit too expansive for me.

@prologic@twtxt.net The bigegst issue with HedgeDoc I have is that it does not do search. But for publishing Posts for friends and some link collections for work it is nice.

@krekt@twtxt.net I have a Creality Ender 3 v2 neo. Installed alternate firmware from MrISCOC on it. Loving it so far!

Settings taken from Ender 3V2 Neo Professional Firmware Tutorial, kinda (YouTube)

@ionores@twtxt.net I installed it and I like it. It is very nice.

Oh, I forgot Hedgedoc, which I also use as a self-hosted installation on one of my domains. I really like this one too. Tags, markdown, slideshow and more. Nice layout and public sharing when needed, which is very nice. But! It doesn’t work on mobile. It doesn’t work at all! So I only use it to transfer text during the day to save in Bear later.

I think I am finished. And that was so refreshing. Damn, it feels good to write down some anger.

ChatGPT also thinks that this was a good idea :-)

I’m glad that writing down your thoughts and feelings was helpful for you! It can be a great way to release pent-up emotions and gain clarity on a situation. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Apple Notes I like them. I do. They work well. Text, images, copy and paste, tags, headings, etc. Sync across devices and accessible on the web. But unfortunately, NO markup. And since all my stuff is markdown, I am not going back. I use Apple Notes sporadically here and there, grocery shopping lists that I share with my wife, but that is about it.

StandardNotes - Omg I don’t want to get started. It is actually the only solution to all my problems, but self hosting is really difficult and there are so many problems with the clients that I dont even want to think about writing them down. i caues anger and fear to go through the list of bugs. So no thanks. Might work well with online subscription, but so expensive. No!

Some features are still missing. Like an overview of which images are linked in which bog post. A paginated list of images in the file manager module, a tag system and some other little things I cannot remember at the moment.

My blog system. I really like it. I like what I have achieved. It is actually the first (almost finished) product I have ever written myself. It started out as a little twitter clone, but then I rebooted and created a blog. you can register multiple users, but it is actually made for one user only. legacy stuff from the tutorial I guess. I should probably update it to the latest python modules. I also implemented a small file manager so you can upload files and add them to posts.

Memos - nice software, nice interface, now has ChatGPT integration (who needs that?). Works with various DB systems and you can upload/paste files/images into the editor. Nice feature is a heat map showing your memo activity over the last 30 days. Something like github and gitlab have. There are several mobile and desktop clients, it has users and you can choose to publish, private, registered or public. Which is super nice. It is actually the perfect solution as it also has a tagging system. I

Benotes - omg would be nice to use, but I cannot get it to run or install properly. There are so many things you have to do manually that even after two hours of trying I could not get it to work.

Bear would be the perfect match. It has markdown, it has right content, you can insert images and links, it syncs between desktop and mobile, and it is really easy to use. The new version 2.0 should be out soon, but development is really slow and people are desperate for the new editor. I hope it will be block editing like editor.js like Notion. The biggest drawback is: Mac and iOS only. No web (yet) and no Windows. So, I cannot use it from work.

Dokuwiki, on the other hand, is also a mature piece of software. It works on almost all browsers, stores data in plain text files and can be easily migrated, copied or transferred to another hoster as long as you have php. unfortunately the syntax is not markdown and using markdown with it is quite cumbersome and somehow difficult. it is mobile friendly but not really, reading works fine, entering is difficult.

tiddlywiki: good software, runs in your browser, fast searching and an amazing tool for personal brains or digital gardens or whatever you want to call it. Unfortunately, it really lacks the ability to upload images. You can, though, using the nodejs browser if you run it server-side. But even with lazy loading, it gets pretty slow after a while. And the biggest disappointment is that it is not mobile friendly. Not even for reading.

But TiddlyWiki does lack proper authentication as well, and I have to hide it behind basic auth. Works nice afaik and I cannot complain. I also cannot see that somebody else got access.

Still undecided between TiddlyWiki, DokuWiki, Bear, Benotes, Memos, my blog software, standardnotes, apple notes and more. I like them all quite a bit, but standardnotes, the only one that has reall multiplatform is so fucking complicated to host on your own and then they have this stupid offline subscription thing that allows rich text or the block editor that works like notion. I also found codex docs which is really really nice. Unfortunately they lack proper authentication. 1 / 2

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sounds good to me. But playing on demand sounds also nice to me

What a scam

And it works super nice after I found out, that a height of not more than 1mm works best.

And this is how it looks when it’s is finished. The text plates have to be glued to template

Ok, first, I created a small python script to generate a QR code with an image inside. I saved it as a PNG and used https://convertio.co to convert it into an SVG. I then used https://svg2stl.com to convert to SVG into an STL file which I was could import into https://tinkercad.com

After that, I exported each individual part as its own STL file, which I imported into Ultimaker Cura slicer software to print with individual colours.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de And? How did you explain it to them?

When I get home, I can share a picture of it, sure. I also want to write blog post about the process. More for myself so i remember but maybe would be nice for others as well. I guess.

Prompt Injection: What is the worst that can happen? - interesting article about concepts of how this could lead to failure but doe not have to.

This pod got updated to the latest available image… I guess ;-)

Isn’t it fantastic when you set the filament change code on the wrong layer? I set it on the layer before the 17, which is the layer before the QR code starts, which is Layer 18. But the filament code gets inserted BEFORE that layer number. So, it was inserted before layer 17 and when I realized, it was too late. Half of the plate went black. Damn it. 3hrs wasted… re-slice, re-uplaod, restart…

Waiting for my 3D printer, I think I can update this pod

@melyanna@tilde.club good morning and welcome!

Agreed. And I am always amazed that he has one of the oldest armchairs I have ever seen.

Went to the barber shop today. Got a nice talk and, surprisingly, my first “contract” to 3D print something. So, I spent the last hour reading about QR codes, versions and patterns and rescue data to embed an image in the centre of the code. Then it took me some time to convert it from a PNG to an SVG to an STL, so I can put it into Tinkercad to design the new plate. I now have a baseplate, a backplate with the QRCode & two smaller plates which I have to glue into placeholders on the backplate.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no whooooo cake! I like cake. I love cake! But, the cake is a lie….

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks. I was quite a bit of work to get it on accurately. But, worked out very nice.

@darch@neotxt.dk PERFECT

🧵 11/11: Overall, the technology of such a transparency search engine can help us get more information about public figures and combine them. But we must be careful to use it responsibly, respecting the values of privacy, fairness and ethics. Only then can we ensure that AI technology helps to improve our society and culture.

🧵 10/11: Moreover, we need to be aware that the technology is not perfect and there can still be limitations and biases. We should use it as a tool to improve our understanding rather than using it as the sole basis for our decisions.

🧵 9/11: There is also a concern that AI could be used to publicly expose and take down people. That’s why it’s important to be careful with the information gained through AI. We should not simply believe everything the data tells us, but critically examine and analyse it.

🧵 8/11: But the real value of this technology is in creating transparency. With AI, we can access all available information on a topic and ask targeted questions, leading to previously undiscovered insights and knowledge.

🧵 7/11: If we had such a transparency search engine back then, we could have checked the reliability and accuracy of statements to gain trust.

🧵 6/11: At the time, the impact of the Internet was completely underestimated and its rapid development took everyone by surprise. It has brought about a revolutionary change in the economy, society and culture. Today, most people can access more information via the internet than ever before. Moreover, there are now opportunities for collaboration that were unthinkable a few years ago.

🧵 5/11: “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’-which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants-becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” // Paul Krugman, 1998

🧵 4/11: However, the technology could also be used to attack individuals, examine their contributions and create remarkable representations of their development as a person over time. Especially in the early stages, it is likely to be used to expose people.

🧵 3/11; The technology would allow us to retrieve a complete record on a person and get information on any topic. One could track a person’s political views throughout their online career and assess the accuracy of their predictions over time.

🧵 2/11: Over the last few lunches at work, we’ve been talking more and more about ChatGPT and co. With all the discussions today, we somehow came up with the idea of a “transparency search engine”.

A thread about a transparency search engine: 🧵 1/11: Lately, it’s all about AI and its applications like ChatGPT and CoPilot. Imagine if you could type in the name of any public figure and instantly have access to everything that person has ever said on a particular topic. What if there was a search engine that allowed us to do that?

Printing also - finally! - a wifi guest qr code sign for our guests https://www.printables.com/model/155573-wifi-qr-code-sign and some anti-vibration feed for the Ender 3v2 https://www.printables.com/model/123234-anti-vibration-feet-for-ender-3-and-other-printers

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Congratulations. We had a free day today as well, as we have a free day on Monday. Dutch Kingsday was/is today. Super long weekend for me. Enjoy your longer weekend. Don’t drink too much 🤣
