This week, we're hitting the #Blender3D shop floor for a big design that (I hope) will ultimately become a #VR space for a conference.

So far... it's a doughnut.

Is this to remind attendees that they better getting running around this track to burn off eating too many pastries? We shall see...

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.

It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

An hour or so to go before we can go home after our open house, but so far today was a bust, per our Ring camera. Hardly anyone showed. The market has been flat. 😢

In movies, people never give people the charger that comes with the burner phone:

bad guy: keep this with you, and when I call, you answer.

good guy: ok.

(time passes, phone runs out of charge, turns off, good guy can’t find a charger that fit that phone, hostage is toast)

This is a rewrite of an earlier thought I had 😝

The Verifiable Credentials Working Group invites implementations of the Candidate Recommendation Snapshot of Data Integrity BBS Cryptosuites v1.0. This specification describes a Data Integrity Cryptosuite for use when generating digital signatures using the BBS signature scheme. The Signature Suite utilizes BBS signatures to provide selective disclosure and unlinkable derived proofs.

A Grinder PSA.

I know James Hoffmann, in a few videos now, heavily suggests doing the RDT (ross droplet technique) on coffee in single dose grinders; indeed, in one video, he heavily suggests doing this 3x as much to get, as he says 'better anti static results". He even demos it on a DF64 Gen 2 in his Best grinders under £500.

But he's wrong. At least with grinders equipped with a plasma generator.

Doing the RDT on grinders with a plasma generator (like the DF64 Gen 2) WILL GUM UP the works inside around the plasma coil, making it 100% ineffective, and increase the overall static issues.

Don't RDT any grinder with a plasma coil.

Got this direct from TWO grinder manufacturers. I've been told one is trying to get James to do a new video "recanting" the advice. It's causing them a lot of service calls.

I have the real way to prevent #openssh backdoors. Never enable sshd on a system and instead go back to the old tried and true method of communicating remotely over physical RS-232 instead.

Since the topic of paying maintainers is going around again I want to highlight something that is quite often overlooked.

The challenge with "Give maintainers money" is: The relation between receiving money and having time available isn't linear. In other words, receiving money doesn't necessarily make time available.

Everyone acts like I'm "From the Great Depression" because I want to take the T-bone home from the steakhouse to make split pea soup but what THEY do not understand is the best split pea soup in the universe is made with a 2-inch thick proper NYC steakhouse T-bone. It's not like I'm going around back to get them with Pica's ilk.

Take the bone home.

If steakhouses had any sense they'd make soap too. Brand it with their logo.

Soup Tomorrow!

simple and fun rework. this pin was grounded but needed to be tied to a signal. I removed the solder and added some glue to insulate it from the pad, then soldered the wire on.

New #blog: Heating with Electricity instead of Gas

After we had #solar installed we also moved onto Agile by #octopusenergy

This winter, rather than using bottled gas for additional heating, we used electric heaters - this post talks a little about how we approached it, some issues we encountered and the result.
