Getting movies in Pan & Scan is annoyingly hard. I'm just gonna have to buy a bunch of VHS tapes and digitize them, I guess.

Maybe some occasional early "full-screen" DVDs on ebay. Those'd be easier to rip.

@foone notably The Simpsons Movie had a 4:3 DVD release alongside the widescreen DVD release. You had to be careful which one you bought…

Windows just tried to turn off outlook notifications because I haven't interacted with them for a while.

MOST OF THE TIME THE POINT OF THE NOTIFICATION IS THE NOTIFICATION ITSELF!!!

What is with OS makers? iOS prompts me about this too. Stop being so needy. Not everything needs interaction.

@bastardsheep to be fair, not everything needs a notification either. Just turn them all off.

@decryption FX (F-mount) D750

@jpm@aus.social avatar

@decryption FX lenses work fine on DX sensors, they just get a 1.5x zoom factor. You can also use DX lenses on FX sensors (and film) if you’re ok with the outer 1/3 of the frame being black. The more recent FX bodies even have a dedicated DX crop mode that only reads out the middle of the sensor

Is there a #linux command that can do timezone conversion on timestamps? Ideally through a pipe?

I want to convert syslogs in UTC to localtime (based on $TZ env).

cat /var/log/syslog | tz2local

@phs oh no (Python?)

Is anybody good at editing STLs? I have a modal I want to negative cut some text and a SVG logo onto the back.

I'll happily throw a few bucks because I've tried and failed to get the Blender Boolean cut to work!

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

@shlee I’ll give it a crack, I’ve done some modifications on STLs before in F360, not sure how well it’ll work because I’ve never used the emboss/deboss tool before

What the heck is this dingus on the end of my new dishwasher's hose likely to be for? I can make out "type 88" in the plastic moulding but both google and bing insisted I want to learn about main battle tanks instead. My best guess is that it's a temperature or flow rate sensor. I'm mildly excited by the need to add a hole saw to my tool collection, but I don't quite understand what purpose it serves being outside of the machine itself.

@timixretroplays anti-flood thingo? Bunch of sensors and a solenoid in it, connected to the dishwasher

@Kels_316 no that’s just the patina, there’s no STRUCTURAL rust

I do like the rotted wood tray, such a nice touch. Reminds me of a meth addict’s teeth…
