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... 🙃

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

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! 1 month 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.

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 1 month 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!

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 2 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 3 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 6 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!

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!"
