Using the sun to darken natural vegtan (beehaw.org)

I made this catch-all tray for a friend's housewarming but I wasn't happy with the natural vegtan color so I propped it up in a sunny window for three days. My needle holder from the same hide is there to show the contrast of how much the color changed and to remind everyone to wear sunscreen 😎

ludw,

That’s a really neat trick, I might have to try that

ludw,

A great trick for Garmin watches is that they make some high end models with sapphire glass. Get one of those used and you have top of the line stuff for a reasonable price, yet the glass never scratches so it will look like new…

ludw,

I learned about it here on Lemmy, when needed I just google it

ludw,

You could use the Phallus hieroglyph: 𓂸

Some quick feedback:

The two things that draw my attention are the person looking away and the black blob in the top right. The black blob mostly feels like a distraction. The person is not well lit and almost hard to see compared with the almost over exposed foreground. There’s a lot of interesting stuff in the picture but kinda mixed messages for what to focus on with the parts in focus being so dim.

I would try cropping much tighter around the subject and see if you can find a stronger composition.

  • Spectroid: what’s that sound? Do I hear that faint but annoying sound or just imagine it? With spectroid you can see the sound spectrum over time.
  • Nova launcher: Lets you cutomize the home screen of your phone and make it just right. I like my apps a bit closer together in five columns instead of four. Nova launcher let’s me do this.
  • Business calendar: it’s just so much better than the default calendar, especially if you have lots of meetings and need an information dense view.
ludw,

Maybe you would enjoy “Every tool’s a hammer” by Adam Savage.

ludw,

Kvarn är ett bra sätt att förbättra kaffet, dels får du färskare kaffe och dels kan du variera hur fint du maler för att justera in smaken. Blir det för surt, testa mala lite finare. För bittert: testa mala grövre.

Kan rekommendera Wilfa WSFB-100S, maler jämnt och bra och har goda inställningsmöjligheter.

ludw,

I’m using anytype.io, it’s been pretty neat so far.

New guy to flashlights looking for recommendations

I’m a welder by trade, and I often use flashlights to inspect my work. I’ve used a bunch of Maglite solitaires for a while, but I’m getting a little tired of how fast they gunk up or burn out. Turns out, welding work is ROUGH on flashlights, especially if you keep using them through grinding and polishing. What I’m...

ludw,

Maybe the Fenix PD25R would be a good choice. It’s the size you wanted, has usb-c charging but protected behind a aluminium cover, IP68 rated, 1.5m drop rated.

ludw,

Hmm, doesn’t feel like a rebrand will do them much good. Skillhunt at least had some brand recognition in entusiast circles. ESKTE sounds like some Amazon spam company with a random letter combination name…

ludw,

These we taken in northern Sweden. It doesn’t really matter where you are as long as you are far enough north and the sky is dark and clear.

ludw,

I guess that’s debatable, I just wanted the mouse closer ;)

ludw,

The small board that was above the numpad has all the smarts for the whole keyboard, so I had to follow the traces it was attached to and find a new location to wire it in at. Luckily the big PCB I cut in half is pretty simple so I could just visually see where everything went and run a new wire there.

ludw,

The new ugly icon kinda matches the new content quality.
