Yesterday was the birthday of Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, a surprisingly important figure in the history of #EarlyModern worship and #BookHistory. So I wrote a blogpost in his honour!
Einbanddruck in Progress: Nachdem die Schwarzplatte steht, lasere ich diesmal die erste Farbplatte, nachdem ich die Rasterflächen mit einem entsprechenden Pinsel in Procreate gemalt habe.
Das schöne an Hochdruck ist ja, dass man mit so ziemlich allen Materialen Drucken kann: Pappe, Sperrholz, Plastik, Metalle. Hauptsache das Material steht irgendwie hoch, lässt sich mit Unterbau plan auf die Normdruckhöhe von 23,567mm bringen und ist halbwegs stabil. Sogar Schwämme gehen
Welcome to my Friday cabinet of curiosities, a roundup of stuff I enjoyed this week! Today’s links feature rebel birds, touchable cartography, human-sized 3D printers and more
It might not seem like much - but getting both of these LaserWriters to feed and print a page properly took a fair bit of effort. Hopefully having both on the same shelving unit doesn't cause a black hole from the weight 😅 #vintagecomputing#apple#printing
Last month was the 150th anniversary of the invention of the typewriter, which was created in Milwaukee by journalist/printer/politician Christopher Latham Sholes. Here's a look at its history and ongoing relevance, and how Milwaukeeans celebrated the typrewriter's big birthday with the inaugural QWERTYFEST, an inky paradise for collectors, artists, history buffs and word nerds.
I designed and (relief) printed a generic birthday card. My plan is/was to do a bunch of different ones and have them sitting around ready to go when an unexpected birthday sneaks up on me.
Would you prefer a hand-printed card (that I actually designed) to a store-bought card?
Finally decided to try and get my 20yo laser printer (USB only) set up with a CUPS print server using one of my SBC servers on the shelf underneath.
The notes in the :debian: & :arch: wikis took a bit of figuring out, but printer now configured and discoverable. Shifting the USB cable was hard work (reaching round the back of a dusty computer trying to reroute tangled cables).
Still issues with the clients though - fallen into a DNS-SD rabbit hole at the moment around hostname resolution!
Think I've got clients working with my CUPS print server now. Did some reading up on DNS-SD/mDNS as Avahi advertises my print server as <server>.local which isn't resolved correctly by default.
Did think about just changing the local domain on my OpenWRT router (it defaults to .lan) but went with the nss-mdns package as suggested in the Arch wiki to handle .local addresses: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi#Hostname_resolution
Think I might have actually achieved something today! #printing
👋 Hi, I am rokku, a 39+ old human in the #autistic and #adhd spectrum. As a person I behave as a #INTJ or #5w6. I don't use a #gender for me but I know there are a lot of them #agender#nonbinary. If you are talking to me, use no pronouns but my name.
I do #debian servers and #arch for my workstation. All other distros are bad, especially #ubuntu (yes i know its from debian but with ugly things in it)
My beloved languages are #perl, #raku and #nim. But I do much more of them like #cpp, #java, #python and what not. Currently, as an old grumpy human, I try to learn #nodejs (We hadn't this in the old days 😆)
I like #old#school things, how we did it in the past. I did not stay behind, but new things must proof themself.
I'm a former member of the pirate party germany (#Piratenpartei Deutschland). I was member of the Landesverband Bayern as a General Secretary and Treasurer. I am founder of the #Bezirksverband#Mittelfranken and also member of the board as a General Secretary.

First print of this birthday card I designed. I may redo things a bit. My wife actually suggested a party hat for the skull so I may make a version like that.
Your printing service might read your documents. Here’s what to know. (www.washingtonpost.com)
Some printers and printing services are snooping on your documents. Here's a quick guide to printer privacy for people in a rush.
