Since I've been doing Rust recently, I need this crap: gist.github.com/m1dnight/fb2...

I'm happy with my newfound 368GB of disk space.

Everything is online! I admit, the sources are becoming a bit messy, and the process is getting more involved. But, all the STL files are available if you just want to print them.

The STL files are huge, so I used Git LFS for the first time today :)

And the #erlang version is done too! I'll put the source up soon!

Yeah it did. When you download the epub, its actually an Adobe Digital Assets file, which allows that program to download the real epub to your device. I moved that onto my Kobo, but that file turns out to be DRM protected so I cant read it without removing the DRM from that file :(

I bought an ebook from ebooks.com. I had to install Adobe crap to download it. Now I can't read it on my Kobo. I can install a calibre plugin to remove the drm. You know what's a better ux? Freakin' libgen.

This was supposed to be a teaser, but it's too obvious isn't it?

Okay, because someone asked, I'm making the Erlang one too :D

I think I did some manual fine-tuning for the logo inlay in Fusion to get a bigger transparent border around it, but I forgot. It's included, so you could print it if you want.

The generated STL is shitty, so opening it up in Fusion will make your machine die a bit.

I absolutely refuse to talk to chatbots. As soon as I know it's a bot I abort. What sometimes works is using web archive for support phone numbers. If that doesn't work, blacklist :p

So, now they blocked my e-mail adres for being "unsafe." I had to change to a gmail account or something to get into contact with the customer support people, since you can only mail from the e-mail address of your amazon account. What a shite company.

So I have a written statement from the police that they are asking for something that's illegal. And now Amazon is telling me that the police is wrong. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this company.

Apparently I now also need a freakin' lawyer to get my money back from this human garbage company.

I've honestly tried it for a few days, and it's just shit. Kagi worked well, but i don't know if I really want to pay for search .

For the first time I have to do some maintenance on this printer. It's mostly built from 3d printed parts, but it's as reliable as a Nokia 3310.

The belt is a bit too loose so I'll have to tighten it a bit.

This has to be the most French trim option possible. A baguette holder..

They say don't roll your own crypto. Does this still apply if I let Claude roll it for me? That's a loophole, right? right?
