  While i definitely agree, none of this is a deal breaker for me. What is a deal breaker is this: I am on my third Friendica account now because the first 2 instances both started struggling and then collapsed. The one I'm on now is suddenly running very slow, just like the first 2 before the end. It seems to me like maybe they're kinda hard to run?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm always soooo excited for native fediverse apps, because PWAs are annoying in a bunch of ways. But then it actually happens, and I remember that none of the cool themes will be in there 😅

  This is still AWESOME though!! I think that's what was holding a lotttttt of people off, waiting for an app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toolhead part cooling design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That's definitely more how like laser cutters and cnc mills do it right? Although maybe that's more for removing debris than cooling. Seems like a good idea, unless it's too much pressure and starts deflecting the plastic while it's still molten.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting closer to a working 3d printed pleated filter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This project is awesome, great job! I get what you mean about the whole "quadruple the price and effort" thing, but stuff like this is so important. Whatever technology enables the current air filter industry to make their stuff so cheap is likely some proprietary BS that doesn't even work at small scales anyway, right? So if/when we ever lose access to that, we'll need stuff like this to fill the gap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable Filaments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We use it very regularly in our makerspace, although yeah like you say, the supply and color availability is lacking unfortunately. Fingers crossed it gets better as more people show an interest in it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable Filaments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh this probably makes more sense in places other than where I live. Nothing here gets recycled at all unfortunately... Were the larger objects unable to be recycled otherwise?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable Filaments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn't strike me as particularly sustainable at all? It just makes the object come apart into smaller objects, right? But they're still objects and still made of the same material they would've been otherwise... Just switch to PHA, it's actually for real compostable and more sustainably produced as well.

  WHOAAA!!! that's actually a HUGE deal and it hadn't even occurred to me how much I was missing it.

  Ooh neat!

  Oh yeah, we have an old Shining3D scanner in our makerspace, and the amount of trouble that company has been...

  I don't have that... 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Running a web server on my residential connection is against my ISP'S terms of service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I've always wanted to do this, but I can't afford a VPS. And everytime I look into self-hosting on hardware at home, I just get the impression that it's nearly impossible... My ISP forbids it, and even if I can evade their notice, people say having a public facing setup at home is bound to get you attacked eventually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Closest we've got right now is Flohmarkt, right? If they haven't already been working on some kinda trust system, they're probably taking code contributions. I saw somewhere else somebody suggested Loops integration for it, so they could have something like the tiktok shop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community Revival - resurrecting dead communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh that's a great idea! Would this also be a good place to seek additional mods for not-quite-abandoned communities? I've been realllyyyy slacking on mine, life just gets in the way lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you actually find fediverse boggers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh cool!! Yeah I definitely tried it on a few silly ones just because lol. Now somebody's just gotta try Sharkey, Misskey, MBin, uh... GoToSocial. Probably a bunch more that I don't know about. ActivityPub is so neat!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you actually find fediverse boggers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn't realllllyyyy answer your main question, but you got me curious how WriteFreely blog posts look from other platforms, and which ones can see them. So, I tried a few with this post of mine. Obviously some of these wouldn't make any sense, and also for some of them I may have just never figured out how to properly format the URL/search the way it wanted. But, here's what I got on every platform where I have an account:

  • Mastodon: If you're logged in, it shows the title, any pictures, and a link to the full text. If you're logged out, it shows you a redirect option to the originating blog.
  • Friendica: Shows the whole post roughly as it should look, albeit with a "read more" accordion.
  • WAFRN: Shows the whole post roughly as it should look, albeit with all the pictures at the bottom.
  • BookWyrm: Logged in, it can see the blog but can't retrieve the post. Logged out, it automatically redirects to the blog.
  • NeoDB: Logged in, it can see the blog but not the post. Logged out, it asks you to log in.
  • Lemmy: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.
  • PieFed: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.
  • Pixelfed: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.
  • Mobilizon: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.
  • Ibis: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.
  • Peertube: Can't seem to access the post or blog at all.

  Having used BookWyrm and NeoDB, it's definitely very comparable to GoodReads vs IMDB, at least in terms of interface/user experience/aesthetics/etc. BookWyrm being specifically for books, it has a ton of fields that wouldn't be applicable to anything else, i.e. "publisher", " ISBN". It can pull data automatically from some outside book databases. NeoDB seems able to do that same thing, except for any kind of media. Not sure where all they're pulling the data from. They also seem to have fields for just about anything, from tracklist to director to author.

  It's really nice! Great UI, not particularly buggy, feels great on the user end. Honestly pretty darn polished for a fediverse platform I'd never heard of until like a week ago. Also, the flagship instance (where I'm at) seems to be mostly reviews in Chinese, and it's always nice to see parts of the fediverse that aren't dominated by English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mycelium vs. Hempcrete as insulation bricks - Advice needed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do go the mycelium brick route, there's something I've always wanted to try with that. Assuming you have access to a vacuum/pressure setup, what would happen if you ran the resulting brick through the whole wood stabilization procedure? I've seen people put some pretty wild stuff through that process (like a slice of bread), and it always seemed like this would be a good fit. Eventually somebody'll probably figure out some kinda α-pinene based alternative to PMMA for infusion too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for some (re-)use cases for older Android smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While I generally disapprove of resin printing, this seems like a good use case for building a Lumibee. They're open source resin printers that run off old cellphones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨feddit.online will live on as a PieFed instance⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I migrated to the flagship PieFed instance a while ago and haven't regretted it at all. This place rocks! I would love it if there was an app though, not a big fan of PWAs lol. If I was smarter, I'd try to make one myself. Very exciting to see more instances popping up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thought this would be good here⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy the deranged erotica, partially because it's good but also because it makes the toxic alpha male/sigma male dudebro types go "no, not like that!"
