Did some 3D modelling and printing again lately after quite some pause. I really enjoy using @FreeCAD a lot. Thanks a lot to the #FreeCAD folks! :)

This one is a joystick for my Amiga 500. I even managed to print the inner and outer plastic parts of the buttons. For the switches in the buttons I reused switches from buttons I had purchased.

I still need to do the bottom part of the body but, so far, I like the results.



Modelling this rubber track in @FreeCAD really pushed my skills (and my patience). I didn't need to model the tracks to design my robot, but I wanted to render a realistic representation of the finished item in order to generate images for the assembly documentation. #CAD #FreeCAD #Robotics #robot

Why yes, it IS Bandcamp Friday. That means that if you buy music from Bandcamp today, then Bandcamp waive their cut and the artist gets more of the money.

Why am I reminding you of this? Because in February of this year, I released my second solo album “Love & Painkillers”. It was a looooong project and a labour of love, and I am very happy with the result.

And it is on Bandcamp!

If you like instrumental guitar rock, give it a listen. Thanks. You look fab today, by the way.

If you would like to switch from #Windows to #Linux, but don't know what to expect, or which Linux distribution to choose, you can choose one of the following options first, trying Linux:

- use the Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL
- set up a virtual Linux machine
- use a Linux live instance

With a Linux live instance, you can also directly check your hardware for compatibility.

WSL or virtual machine gives you the opportunity to test your use cases and suitable software for a longer period.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has said the investigation into the events of 7 October is a “show planned by the state comptroller in Netanyahu’s service.”

During a meeting held yesterday, Lapid added: “I do not believe in the integrity of this investigation into Hamas’s 7 October attack.”

He added: “I am convinced that this investigation is nothing more than a performance staged by the Comptroller to serve Netanyahu.”

Thanks for posting this!

I'm adding some tags and 2 Fediverse groups so that more people see it. The guppe groups have over 1k readers and the tags usually boost the article to hundreds of users across the Fediverse.

Perhaps in the future, you could add them yourself by typing:

Rape and sexual assault are long-standing tools in the Israeli arsenal. We are witnessing all of these processes in action in the American enabling of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Famine and epidemic by design, intentional demolition of all forms of infrastructure, and even torture itself, are no longer political issues; rather, they are turned into “humanitarian” problems, as if they were the result of an earthquake.

Wind and solar farms power Great Britain’s grid to greenest ever summer - theguardian.com/business/artic… "Reliance on fossil fuels fell in August to less than one-fifth of all electricity generated across country" great news, but we must do even better #renewables
in reply to Glyn Moody

We need incentives for lots more solar on homes and commercial buildings. There's likely to be more demand for a/c in future. We got solar this year and have been a net exporter over the summer. Mind you, this week is not so great, but we can charge the battery on cheap rate.
in reply to Steve

@steevc I agree; big failing of previous govs, lots of scope here
