Well... fsck. An order of mine was marked as delivered yesterday. Looked in my mailbox. Not there. Then I got a suspicion. Used my phone camera to peek into the mailbox of my neighbours with a somewhat similar last name (we've had mixups in the past). And it looks like it's in there.
The problem?
Said neighbours moved out earlier this month. Trying to figure out if someone here still knows how to reach them. If not I'll have to get creative I fear... without getting the cops called on me.
@Doomed_Daniel@ainmosni Have already packed my camera (will not be at home this evening, but might have a better chance thanks to that - darker place 👍)
"To me, the latest is the latest my OS provides me. If #curl maintainers dont care about pushing the latest into the OSes they support, it's not me to blame. I think curl maintainers should push Centos to provide the latest to all users. What's the purpose of you fixing multiple bugs and security holes if you dont spend time to make it available to the broader audience?"
While at it, we lazy maintainers should obviously also make sure that cold fusion finally gets invented, because we obviously don't care about our projects if we don't care about the future of humanity. Same thing with world peace, naturally. /s
I just cleared the first level of my first run of #2d6Dungeon 🥳
Having a lot of fun crawling the dungeon and drawing the map, and am starting to get creative (it IS a solo RPG after all!). After I found the third bucket I decided, enough is enough, returned to the Blacksmith I had found and turned one of them into a helmet. All that noise of course triggered a patrol of a guard and their guard dog, but thankfully I rolled well ^^
Cleared the 2nd dungeon level and am now working through the 3rd. Still proudly wearing my bucket helmet but now also bought some nice additional armour with all the loot from level 2. Level 3 so far saw me facing an amaurotic with very keen hearing but bad dice luck, an angry ghost and a ton of dust and cobwebs. No wonder, it's the crypt 😬
Highlight of the 2nd level certainly was fighting the Overlord who destroyed all my potions but in the end succumbed to my great axe
I've been in a crafting mood for a few days now. One of the results of that were my recent adventures in book binding #2d6Dungeon, the other was finally figuring out a good way to create custom playing cards for print'n'play games.
I stumbled across #EscapeFromStation52 in one of my itch.io bundles and that was the trigger: Cards were printed one sided on a piece of 185gsm linen stock, sealed with fixative, folded and spray glued together, then cut. A bit thick but feel & shuffle great!
Then I decided that I needed a fitting version of the rules, so I created that. All 8 pages now are just on a long folded strip, both sides printed on.
I uploaded those to BGG too after getting a quick ok from the game author, but so far the file hasn't been published.
And finally, just now I finished a custom tuckbox matching the design, with the credits from the rules on the back as well.
Printed on heavy card stock and then cut, folded and glued together. Fits the cards plus the rules perfectly and now I'm enjoying playing this game even more 😊
I have it on my desk for quick work breaks (one play doesn't last longer than 10min), and it feels a bit like Nemesis Light 😅 I can recommend it if you are fine with sudden death 😬
@excds@Doomed_Daniel@ainmosni Brother MFC-L8690CDW here, same thing. Have some shortcuts defined for scanning to paperless from the document feeder or the glass, so I just drop things in, press a button, done.
@Doomed_Daniel@excds@ainmosni I can only recommend it, have used it for both work and private projects since 2018 (actually I just printed a print'n'play card game over the weekend, some RPG rulebooks the one before that, and there are also various photos around my flat printed on it) and it's still working like on day 1 on the first toner fill. Though this thread reminded me to pick up some replacement toner cartridges as I have some more colorful projects coming up ^^
@Doomed_Daniel I'm fine with it, for just putting up some memories it's totally fine. And I'm also happy with the regular colour prints. Since I switched to Linux and its drivers stuff got a bit darker, I haven't yet found the best settings again, but for me it's fine. YMMV
Chilli update! The peppers that are going to provide us with the main ingredients for our #HotSauce2024 got repotted for the first time yesterday and will now hopefully start to really shoot upwards.
We still need some more coasters, they should arrive soon... in the meantime, we improvised ^^
They are growing nicely, and soon they'll get moved outside into their final pots 😊 Maybe next weekend... I'll monitor the weather a bit more, it was way too cold until only a few days ago.
Inspired by @stiftnuersel I decided to finally try to add book binding to my skill set and started with binding both books of 2D6 Dungeon (also a tip by @stiftnuersel).
Especially sewing the paper stacks was incredibly relaxing. I put an audio book on (going through The Stormlight Archive again) and just went for it.
Decided to go with a soft cover. The cardboard came from some deliveries and the fabric from the left overs of an old sewing project.
