Oh MAN, finally a Discord! What's up OSE, am a huge fan, lol. I can't not be a fan, I have been promoting the idea of the GVCS for a long time, and I thought I would have to do it myself. It took me too long to find out about this. Also, watching the newest YouTube video, and YES to more PPE! A suit akin to a spacesuit, for Earth, is something I've personally been really wanting. Something you could "chill in the jungle" and not worry about a lot of environmental hazards.
10:26 AM
For cooling PPE(I live in Arizona, so this is major for us), this 1-month old video seems to be great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Ti4GP0ntE Therefore, open source tiny compressor? Also, check out some of the advancements in Aerogel, there's also a DIY video out there of someone making their own.

I like to imagine stuff like ^this being integrated with everything else. I see some mention of "self-replicating machine" on the OSE wiki, so glad, that can be like.. the ultimate key. If you have "one" microfactory that can build "one more" microfactory, then whew, and then once you build "enough" of them, finite resources are the limit! (edited)

As for getting raw material, though I am very green-tech oriented and a tad environmental, I can't help but think: The ocean floor. It provides (for better or worse) International Waters laws, but I can't help but think you can build a sturdy enough platform floating up top, and pumping air down to "float" materials up to the surface, for nice energy saving in transport.
9:52 PM
Yes, yes definitely make a video game xD I feel like the virtual world is a great way of testing these theories, or at least showing them. Also, to convert the CAD files or etc into a finished 3D game asset, that would just be awesome. Tweak it to be as realistic as possible in its inputs/outputs.

It could function as an alternative or supplement to the instructional videos too. There's a game where you install furniture in houses, and the camera "zooms in" to each bolt, screw, etc. You get the whole thing step by step basically!

Nohbdy Ahtall 5/19/2020 10:00 PM
Idk how much effort is put into the other documents too, like older-school paper diagrams and etc, but I almost feel like you could semi-automate the creation of those too. Like, if the Power Cube was modified, and you had the whole thing step-by-step in 3D already, I feel it could run through in its own way and auto-update other documentation types to some degree. Instead of literally "logging in" to each different spot, updating manually, etc.
10:00 PM
I'll have to expand my knowledge of the documentation types >.> *wanders through wiki again*
10:06 PM
Honestly, as long as everything remains open source, I would loove to promote OSE through my own(club's) games by including them as common(and functioning) machines in the game-world. Haha oh man, you could even make it where if players complain "Hey the power cube isn't powerful enough, devs update?" "Sorry, you need to upgrade the real power-cube first before we add it to the game, feel free to contribute!" xD

That.. might be worthwhile! I do gotta say though, I'd be wary of too-many-channels - I tend to see Discord servers learn this later, huge at first expanding, then contracting. However A) I type walls of text with ease, might be good for me to thrive inside of in case people hate that, and that is my specialty after all! B) I really "do" hope a game is a focus, it's something that can hone focus on whatever you are game-ifying, and those of us who are less hardware/more software can possibly go contribution-crazy and start leaking our skills into other OSE software projects.

Once I have enough of the "essential" network stuff up, I'm assuming you can "host" bots, right? Or maybe even need to? Anyway then I can start whipping up entire VM machines just for experimenting on any "self-hosted" software

I am pretty much only experience with x86 or whatever architecture, however, all this stuff I'm learning is making me want to go exactly that route, as I have indeed seen the raspberry pi clusters, and particularly in Proxmox!
11:46 PM
Can you imagine though? You could literally like, host even Windows 10 and have some newbie log into it from a distance to learn about OSE with "all" the right software, packages, files, and etc ready to go. Then, to just like "snapshot" that and preserve it, send them the snapshot to load into their own Proxmox perhaps....
11:47 PM
Well for space/resource-usage and numerous other reasons, probably not share Windows (shakes fist at proprietary world), but still, it seems very possible!
11:48 PM
I'm thinking of doing this method with my gamedev club, because IMO all the downloading and IDE setup and such, so many things can break, just send them the whole thing set-up or have them login!

Ohh man yes, this is exactly where I hope to go with it. The reason I even learned about this at all was "I wonder if I can virtualize my Windows 10 inside of proxmox, then I can have OpenBSD on the side, and... and..". Boy oh boy, so I got Windows working but then I needed to "pass-through the GPU".

Do you and others use Windows mostly, btw? If so, deefinitely look into Chocolatey
12:29 AM
Package manager thing for Windows, here is what I would do:
  • From especially a fresh install/reinstall of windows clean slate, install Chocolatey through Powershell.
  • Install "Bulk Crap Uninstaller" so it can track all your installs and such from the beginning.
  • Install ChocolateyGUI so that you just have an okay interface for installing/upgrading.
12:31 AM
I now pretty much always use it for installing stuff as long as something exists and is up-to-date(so far I still check official website and version check manually, but all have been up-to-date so far).

Proxmox will get you into linux haha, I didn't even really know basic command line stuff and I still do nooot like all the... weird... file system stuff, editing config files as a normal "thing" (oi, what!?), however it is finally growing on me I guess...
12:35 AM
I currently have a VM called "RancherOS" which is made for running Docker containers, and in fact is an OS made of Docker containers as well! This.... is a whole 'nother weird world to learn, but wowza, the ability to plug in some words into a YAML file and have it config things up a standardized way is just, yes.
12:35 AM
So my plan is: Keep the RancherOS for allll dockerized programs, and learning it. Keep another VM for Windows 10 gaming(though of course, can power down for saving resources for others), and then finally other VMs for whatever

I gotta say, as a programmer enthusiast, I thought I was years away from learning this stuff. I had no idea it was easy as it is these days
12:41 AM
I started all this learning like a month ago, and 1-2 weeks was just a huge flow of new understanding, but I mostly thank Proxmox, 'cause I wouldn't have done it on a per-machine bare-metal install hah
12:42 AM
Also Windows was stealing all my hard drive read-writes so I had to get it out of the way, so I didn't even try Virtualbox or anything
12:43 AM
They say the GPU passthrough to a Windows 10 VM is like 98% performance, so really it almost negates me needing a pure Windows install ever again maybe :3

Avatar
Nohbdy Ahtall 5/20/2020 12:47 AM
I guess that's the main benefit, Proxmox stays running usually, allowing infinite reboots of infinite nested machines. It partitions your hard drive to each VM too and they think it's the full drive. I think it can "also" utilize USB as more storage, and finally, you can link multiple Proxmox computers up as Nodes which... idk I guess I'll figure that out, but lots of "High Availability" and redundancy for storage as well as uptime using duplicates or.. something, still learning.

Ooh la la, well I suppose I randomly have knowledge on the subject unexpectedly. I don't mean to hype it for nothing either, it just seems... crazy useful! Putting it on a page... man oh man, if this wasn't what I've been over-thinking for most of my life xP Part of me getting into this is so I can "host" pages on my knowledge and ideas!

Oh but btw, really quick, 'tis true the VMs eat up resources - however - this is where Docker/containers come in. You have "one" VM focusing on containers, and the containers are not like VMs since they share the resources and aren't running an OS inside.
12:58 AM
Do you happen to know, is there some kind of (or effort to) mega-download? Like, all the CAD files and documents and so on, even if unfinished, in a single ZIP or something? That was my idea with the VMs for OSE, people can login to VM, it pulls the latest mega-zip and now you have everything possible regarding OSE, even if internet goes out.
1:00 AM
(which btw, look up "Endless OS", it's an OS for internet-problematic countries and contains things like useful knowledge offline, would love to see GVCS on there hah)

Nohbdy Ahtall 5/20/2020 1:10 AM
Yees! I looked into that but then I thought: Do they really have all the files needed "on" the wiki(for OSE)? I wasn't sure where things are truly hosted, especially larger files. (edited)
1:11 AM
Funny enough this relates back to my interest in VMs+containers, if everything "is" stored on the snapshot-of-the-OS-with-all-tools-installed.... well it might be a large download, but it'd be worth it! Just update the snapshot, and version control the snapshot xD
1:12 AM
But yes, firstly I wasn't sure how many different locations/sites that key, important files might be! Hmm actually, maybe there's some fancy tech that can find all that out... (edited)

Ooh though wait, one more side-wonder: Do you know about/use LaTeX?

Oh and How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler . I think both of them are pretty broad and lacking detail, but provide a big picture roadmap perhaps.

Ah btw, as you can see I love rummaging through multiple ideas at an alarming rate xD, first of all thank you for tolerating that! I did want to add though, I recommend this: Any idea that is too unrealistic, far-fetched, sci-fi, or simply out of lifetime-range... just, as mentioned, "game"-ify it, the same idea can be utilized in the fantasy realm of a game, and it can "still" attempt to be designed realistically(by the game creators) if not actually promote true progression toward reality! Especially if a skilled reality-maker was a game-creator, the transition from "huh, works in the game, then I wonder...." to real-replication would be even more likely/faster! (edited)

Speaking of "pollution" I assume we can make a modular "pollution sensor".

All signs are pointing me to learning emacs and specifically org-mode. However, I may have finally found the discovery I need, something called Roam Research: https://roamresearch.com/
As easy to use as a word document or bulleted list, and as powerful for finding, collecting, and connecting related ideas as a graph database. Collaborate with others in real time, or store all your data locally.
7:00 PM
^ This however is a product, which I might still rather try first (Kinda like how I really like WorkflowyDynalist and MS OneNote, but would rather switch to open source alt), but there is an active org-roam project(open source too + all org-mode's power), so, full circle back to emacs!
7:06 PM
Here is a working example of an org-roam in action via website: https://braindump.jethro.dev/ lol I'm actually learning quickly via clicking through the "zettels" area - gah it's like my idea, each one has a unique number so I mean, yarr!

Nohbdy Ahtall 5/25/2020 8:26 PM
Ooh my well according to https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Discourse/Install it looks like one of those... hefty-ish sysadmin-level projects! Oh snap, actually I see Docker is being used n stuff. Hmmm...
8:30 PM
That's hard for me to answer because, to me, it might be both ^.^ something server-internal specific but may also be useful outside of that. You definitely can install all this, it sounds like similar projects to my VMs/container learning! I would probably adapt its steps to install it on my Proxmox->RancherOS(VM), but if I was having trouble with that I'd probably do Proxmox->exact(or newer?) version of CentOS they use
8:35 PM
However it definitely seems to involve Docker - something which is strangely "easier" and "harder" at the same time. Easier because of things like its Isolation -> Security benefits // self-contained(prone to not messing up your own OS with leftover files n such) // clear separation of its specific task. Harder because of..same thing: Isolation -> Need to point to persistent storage-area if saving anything from that container(they are designed to appear and disappear with no persistence I fink, on purpose?) // weirder microservice-type thinking of complexity - like, imagine using 1 Docker for spell check, 1 Docker for a database, 1 for nginx web host... you can make them talk to each-other, but it's interesting to think about) (edited)
8:42 PM
Oh but another easier thing is its almost like package management, like if I want nginx on my RancherOS VM right meow, I can just type something like docker run nginx in command-line and it will pull a docker container down, and suddenly on my port 80 I will have the nginx default webpage.
8:43 PM
So it's a weird trade-off, feels like there are "extra steps" for making things work with Docker, but iono it really does seem worth it overall and actually easier in the end (after understanding the gist of it maybe?)

I'm sure we shall reach a point technologically where at "least" communication stuff can be centralized, bot-style or otherwise-automated! Kinda like, if every chat-area had a dedicated channel where a bot posted "the same announcement" to every single one(and hopefully maybe link to a single location for them all to converge at). It would allow some redundant cross-over throughout all the comms platforms!
8:55 PM
Like the "Who's going?" question can be linked to whatever technology OSE uses to best-handle events of that nature, perhaps similar to Facebook's "Going" "Not Going" "Maybe" options. I bet Discord has a bot for that, Slack has one, email has an option, and so on... but it miight be best to stick with one, and then send that to all of 'em.

I click on the time to switch it to "Now" and anyhow it all produces like this: !(2020-05-28 01:24 -07:00) Otherwise if I just press enter real fast it puts in the current date, makes quick-timestamping really noiiice!
10:29 AM
It includes the -07:00 as per my settings, indicating my Mountain/Arizona time (which admittedly, just including the pos+ neg- number fro UTC sounds grand! Idk them by alpha-code memorization haha)

As for the "benefit from one channel" - though I agree, you have to realize... I may have never shown up if there wasn't finally a Discord place to go. I am beyond too fond of this tool, and last time I tried to join a slack community I was just dis-enjoying slack enough to not want to stick around :0
10:32 AM
Ultimately I think it is wise to "have" a presence in any/all social media areas and chat areas, but yeah it should be fine to make some/most of them "point" to a single, centralized location.

a. You'll want to lock-in the unique OSE names and such before someone else does especially while growing. Probably from the top-best stuff - I like the decentralized tech myself, so Mastadon and such should be considered! b. If you DO choose a single place it may as well be fully open source or self hosted, "neither" Slack nor Discord proprietary tech! However, may as well use what has those features until weee implement them or find them openly.
7:06 AM
Lol its funny because MS Teams has a "Chat" and a "Teams" section, in the Team section you can do the "Reply" thing I think you speak of. However, in my last workplace noobody used it, they only used Chat, which were everchanging private globs of people, and it pings everyone when 1 message appears there.
7:08 AM
Ooh just got a bot idea: A channel with a bot that disallows any talking unless it is followed by a Topic-marker, like !1 or !2 etc. These may get recycled as convos end and such? That way you can talk freely in a place like this, but you go to "that" channel to talk more structuredly.
7:10 AM
You can type out a command to list all active topics (!topics?), or otherwise glance above the previous chats. I think it should work, some Discord servers I see that are semi-popular have a general-1 and general-2 anyhow, to handle overflow of chatters

Cracking as a concept helps me get chemistry in general more, even that initial description of breaking up the "chains", I probably micro-wondered that in school but assumed it was too simplistic an idea to be relevant - all these jargon-esque words hide the simplicity! You lose track of thought after hearing 10 words in a row you haven't heard of. Note to self: More "ELI5" descriptors for all concepts

You know... sci-fi fantasyish here, but for one to have a self-modifying-code bot among other general spatial awareness and mechanical awareness of a robot to be "in-the-know" of its own physical dimensions and capability(useful knowledge for preventing harm to people, too) - it would need basically what OSE / GVCS is providing: all of that jazz. The instructions, the models, the code, etc.

GVCS is like my stepping stone to the sci fi future. I expect a further project each time. From village, to spacecraft, to space station, to planet colony. The village-level is highly needed, I also like a step lower: primitive survival techniques, a way to reach GVCS level from nothing, even if its multi-lifetimes to get the right rare metals due to travel and survey.

Had to name-drop OSE to my favorite place that has a similar-ish kinda-sorta path: Arcosanti in Arizona. They focus on "Arcology". They sustained themselves off of literally bell-making. They do so much DIY legit projects, I would assume they'd like to embrace the open sourcery world. However, some people just don't know these things exist. Welp, it'd be cool if any of them look into it!

Idk what's up with my extreme apathy or lethargy or who knows what. I think when I came here I was mid-project with IT tech stuff. I've been a long game break since then xD and even doing a drop of useful anything is just, gyahh. I think I opened up my programming IDE like 5 times, without ever putting a character of code, fully intending to do anything even the tiniest. I wonder how many others go through this. Interestingly I have just had a bout of productivity, but to try to derive wisdom or help from "how I got that" is... *whisps hands through air* just not sure.

Sodium silicate is a generic name for chemical compounds with the formula Na2xSiyO2y+x or (Na2O)x·(SiO2)y, such as sodium metasilicate Na2SiO3, sodium orthosilicate Na4SiO4, and sodium pyrosilicate Na6Si2O7. The anions are often polymeric. These compounds are generally color...

Thank you sir Eric. I must watch these things of yours! The chemical bit helps bunches. The other uses of it for example preserving eggs for 12+ months!? especially gave me happiness, as even a few backyard chickens make quite a lot. Food source longevity!

Hopefully my personal do-nothing-but-gaming vacation is transforming into doing projects and surely activate me here in some way, be it gamedev or wikiworks!

I'm not really on this sever much but I always get the notifications so I'm pretty in touch with it. Was just wondering if anyone is currently working on anything or has made anything related to OSE? btw I just joined this server because Eric posted an invite on the Precious Plastic server. I am no good with this kind of stuff lol Coding, I mean (edited)

Also my many ideas/plots for hardware. Also the usual wiki maintenance/organization

perhaps then more so hands on prototyping, and perhaps local networking to get a makerspace / group going. According to this: the nearest "main" ones are a bit aways

4 acres+ that I can use as farmland. I am going to start a farm on that land to grow potatoes (yeah, Irish lol), onions, lettuce and herbs. I'm also going to have a greenhouse.

I didn't know that can be used to make filament
Avatar
Filament making can be done small scale, main issue is the diameter tolerance. If it gains width your extruded volume will grow (despite the set value being constant) and thus mess up prints. I am plotting some way to sense that (on the production and/or printer side), but the optics part may be beyond me. My "endgoal" is the precision/quality of "Prusament"

No need for electronics experts to be freecad experts, or software experts to know ngspice perfectly

those filaments intruige me, supposedly quite high resistance but for a small signal perhaps? ALSO could have a thin shallow channel, and run a wire in it (or even a sealed "tunnel") (edited)
10:02 PM
or just a button
10:02 PM
A button is basically two disconnected wires, and some spring or rubber you can push together

A channel for the wire for the button would work

do you think one of those small "hobby servos" work for the extruder motor?

maybe geared to a lower speed. But then you don't know how much material was fed

You'd need a continuous rotation servo motor, or a stepper motor. I think the stepper would be cheaper for the torque you need.

Originally I used a thick copper plate for high amperage, but nickel strips are already what's used on 18650 battery packs.

essentially a circuit board using those "snap buttons" as connectors for each module
7:46 PM
would be a great use for lasercutting (the majority of the boards), and 3d printing. The only other needed components would be metal strips like you used and/or wire AND a component
7:47 PM
so like a single capacitor, or led etc

It's nothing new. It has been made before but I don't see many people building it and there's not much info about it online. For what I've seen this thing looks incredibly powerful for it's size and ease of construction
11:08 PM
According to some users it is able to melt copper easily and it melts most metals from a few seconds to just over a minute
11:09 PM
It's rather small though and it is used only for small batches of metal. Sounds perfect for small projects/pieces though (which is why I'm trying to assemble it) (edited)

That'd go perfect with the sand based 3d printer I want to work on. With that, you could make some parts of the base OSE machines.

Yeah. With carbon electrodes and high amperage, I could see just using straight output from battery packs for it (though that might not have an arc).
12:01 AM
It'd be better with a container of noble gas though. Otherwise it'll oxidize the metal

I still have to get myself the carbon electrodes, the ones I have are tiny. If all goes well I'll have everything by the end of tomorrow. Today I was able to get 3 microwave transfomers and 2 refractory bricks all for free. Couldn't have been more lucky.

I think for cheap removal of oxygen, somehow get a sealable container you can work on (maybe with gloves on the side), and burn some candles or put something very oxygen reactive in there until it goes out or stops.

The graphite rods might turn into co2 though, so that could just work by itself.

That's not a bad idea at all. I'm somewhat limited when it comes to the container but I'll try my best to make it as sealable as possible

I don't think you'll get arcs with low voltage output from that transformer though, so it'll end up heating the graphite rods

Hmm... actually, it looks like 30000 volts is needed for a 1 cm air gap

@Eric Lotze I also have tons of those, not sure what to do with them yet
Avatar
a basic drybox is just puting them in a box, and drying occasionally
6:50 PM
the "humidity pump", would use a heat source (solar and/or electric i think), a "humid air in" "dehumidified air to room" "humid air out" and "waste air in" ports and switching
6:51 PM
so you have it in a "dry state" at first, use it to dry air in a loop with the room
6:51 PM
then once it is saturated, that loop is sealed off, and the air and/or chamber is heated
6:52 PM
this dries it and the humid air is expelled to the "waste side" using non-room air as the drying air (no room heating)
6:52 PM
Also optional distillation via this?
6:52 PM
not sure on air valves, but would probably use the same that people use for shop vac systems
6:52 PM
ALSO i have a spare computer fan

@SimLeek I was finally able to spark an arc. I've been messing with different wiring configurations and got myself a multimeter. I've spent some time figuring out the different voltages for different configurations and I've finally found the correct one (the one in the king of random's video does not work).
8:23 PM
The arcs weren't that big mostly because I just took a random graphite stick I had lying around and choped it in half. I'll be trying to make those diy carbon rods and I'll probably have some better electrodes to spark the arcs.
Avatar
Yay! ...that transformer was set for low voltage though. Did you use something else?
Avatar
Yay indeed. What a relief... Basically each of the transformers I have output an average of 15 volts on their own (with the modded secondary coil). I had to connect both of the transformers at 240v to get 30v in the output. Grant Thompson lived in the US and so he had to combine electricity from 2 different outlets. I'm assuming that his configuration automatically charged each of the transformers at the same time
8:28 PM
When I tried his configuration, I was only getting half of the recommend voltage

I was thinking about how I'd get metal to build a quick structure if I needed, looked through a lot of the current separation techniques for something like iron/magnetite, and got the idea of using fluidization with a gas that would strip the oxygen off. (Fluidization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidization) Hydrogen doesn't work, I think because it produces water, which sticks stuff together: https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/j.partic.2019.11.006. Carbon monoxide is the standard... so, to produce that, you either need to burn carbon, possibly from plants, at temperatures above 700 C. Or, recapture CO2 from the air and use high temperature electrolysis to produce CO: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/ab7099. For recapture, we'll need to produce sodium hydroxide, which can be produced by electrolysis of extremely salty water: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process. Then, heat up the sodium carbonate to get co2. (edited)
7:54 AM
Er, this is more for indefinite production of rigid structures I guess.
Avatar
I know OSE is doing work on eletrolysis of aluminasilicate i think (barely even con-dev but it is there for aluminium. For other metals smelting or direct reduction via gas is the way to go (short of maybe "odd ones" with all that chemical leaching nonsence)
7:56 AM
Fluidization is interesting, nor sure on yields but i bet there is a paper on it, let me dig

This is basically direct reduction via gas.
Avatar
that is a process, not sure if it is fluidized
7:56 AM
Direct reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) to iron by a reducing gas or elemental carbon produced from natural gas or coal. Many ores are suitable for direct reduction. Direct ...

hmm... fluidization would probably be much faster, since you can have much smaller particle size.

I want someone with material testing abilities to do all those tests
5:19 AM
each time you heat it, it will degrade a bit
5:19 AM
also you want to be sure to wash and sort the plastic, as that helps (also don't use SUPER degraded plastic)
5:20 AM
Most stuff from "first use" products would be "raw" plastic i think, so it would be going into it's first recycling cycle (bit of a mouthful lol)

Oh yeah, I had an idea about annealing any prints: use sand, a container, and a toaster oven.

sand is intresting, not sure if anyone on YT has done that yet, may reduce warping!

You can heat up most plastics past their glass transition temperature in a toaster oven, and the sand would stop it from deforming.

@KLARI On the note of architectural modelling have you tried "SweetHome3D" ?

i meant architecture in terms of engineering CAD should've made that more clear although now that i know this exists, i don't see the harm in trying it >.>
7:41 PM
i see literally everyone using the mediawiki engine nowadays which is pretty epic but i have yet to see anyone use DokuWiki or XWiki so i can inspect their organizational structure and learn from them how to use these two engines

so blender for it then?

for the architecture stuff

i mean, i suppose if there's a universally compatible 3d model file extension i can use, i could use both since i haven't yet actually used blender to arrange a floor plan i just kinda throw things together as i go, optimize things retrospectively, and if i REALLY need to, doodle something on physical paper

8:39 PM
yupyup ACTUALLY, regarding rail-based transport I DID have this idea a WHILE back when i was like 16 that i thought was going to revolutionize rail travel and i proposed this to my dad and he basically thought the same thing
8:43 PM
but like what if there was a locomotive that was able to run on many different arrangements of rails? not only different rail gauges, but being able to convert from rails that are already laid down to a freshly-erected maglev network a train that can very easily and quickly transition from an electrified rail network (both in-track, third rail, and overhead pantograph) to an older/simpler non-electric rail network (which would prompt the engineer to kick on some sort of internal driving motor/generator) and conversely, transition from a standard rail gauge to a magnetic guideway (that could ALSO be grid-powered or self-powered)

not certain if that exists but would be VERY nice

there DEFINITELY isn't any material between converting to a maglev guideway and standard rails

What's an example? I'm trying to think of something that hasnt been open sourced and having trouble thinking of one. At least among standard desktop tasks. (edited)
Avatar
there's definitely an open-source alternative for most common desktop tasks
10:27 PM
but there's no open standard for things like rgb controllers (and not just rgb keyboards and mice, but full system control, for rgb headers and proprietary rgb-centric microcontrollers built onto some high-end motherboards) does wacom open-source their pen tablet drivers yet? i haven't yet tried out Streamdeck_UI for getting my Streamdeck running on a linux system i was about to say there isn't any open-source alternative to Cisco IOS for Cisco Routers and Switches, but i guess if you dive into datacenter-grade network operating systems, there's things like SONiC and OpenSwitch
10:29 PM
sure there's definitely niche things
10:29 PM
but when you actually encounter those niche things
10:29 PM
it's going to be a PITA to troubleshoot if you can't pick it apart yourself to figure out the issue
10:30 PM
or if the proprietary software has an extremely shitty customer support line but you can't do ANYTHING to the software itself because they have it locked down
10:31 PM
there IS an open-source IC fabrication foundry on the way, though, for us electronics engineers

i'm technically still supposed to be at an "adafruit level" in terms of my actual skills with hands-on electrical engineering and knowing the actual math to make sure that you can design an application-specific circuit on a breadboard and NOT have it explode in your face
10:58 PM
but it seems to me that high-speed pcb design is relatively straightforward in terms of how you'd go about doing it
10:59 PM
just connect the appropriate pins together on your reference schematics, make sure everything's powered within spec

I think the important thing is to just try to keep calm and make sure you have a project for the things you learn, and that you're logging what you do somehow. And don't smoke that fake weed or anything dumb like that.
11:19 PM
But even if you do make mistakes, don't underestimate how fast you can come back up.

Thats what I would tell me in highschool and maybe id be a mechatronics engineer haha. Well that and dont believe the people who are fronting-- everybody has to work and study hard and everybody does a bunch of stupid shit when they're learning. The genius myth is kind of damaging. On the flip side, you can learn a lot by having good examples to follow, so its ok to have some heroes. (edited)

well or rainwater to some "small" processing like charcoal and heat pasturization is easier than distilling "dirty" water

A solar still distills water with substances dissolved in it by using the heat of the Sun to evaporate water so that it may be cooled and collected, thereby purifying it. They are used in areas where drinking water is unavailable, so that clean water is obtained from dirty wat...

y'know, if we're all trying to design humanoid androids that can serve as companions to humans and i mean like Detroit: Become Human androids, not industrial robots that have a human-friendly design, why haven't we been using humanoid pose and animation data from the game design industry? like, sure we're trying to design neural nets that can learn to walk all by themselves, but with the way the engineers are doing things, they'll almost never leave the realm of uncanny valley

why not take a bunch of pose and animation examples from mocap'ed characters + exaggerated animations of 3d characters, and implement a corrective neural system to make sure the android keeps its real-world balance by modifying the pose data?
7:14 PM
so that way, there's a chance of actually making a humanoid android that can finally climb out of uncanny valley

OOH I JUST HAD AN IDEA
2:02 AM
Okay so
2:03 AM
aren't standard shipping containers an open mechanical standard?
2:03 AM
or at least so popular that everyone has a copy of a shipping container's mechanical specs?
2:03 AM
i have an idea
2:04 AM
what if we could use shipping containers as multi-purpose buildings?
2:04 AM
not only to transport cargo between villages
2:04 AM
but also as like
2:06 AM
architectural chassis for residental purposes, like modular appartments
2:06 AM
but also as offices
2:06 AM
server rooms
2:06 AM
utility areas
2:07 AM
and you could create a shipping container extension that permits connecting multiple containers together
2:07 AM
like removing walls or implementing standard-connect doors
2:10 AM
extensions for modular corridors, seeing if you could flip a container on its front for things like elevators or stairways to multiple floors
2:11 AM
maybe even a system for allowing containers to lock into much more sturdier frames for stacking a LOT of them together
2:11 AM
it would be even cooler if the connectors were some variant of quick-attach
2:12 AM
so if you wanted to rearrange your house, you could just disassemble everything, grab a container mover, and move all the parts
2:12 AM
ALSO, regarding a container MOVER, you could implement INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES into the form factor of a shipping container
2:13 AM
such as shipping crane movers themselves
2:13 AM
or general-purpose cranes
2:13 AM
combine harvester mechanical containers
2:14 AM
what else is pretty dang huge that you could build into a shipping container...
2:15 AM
.....generators....industrial-sized batteries....solar/wind/energy controllers.... datacenters.....
2:15 AM
hoppers?
2:15 AM
like train hoppers?
2:15 AM
conveyor belt complexes for the OSE conveyor systems
2:16 AM
other mechanical process modules
2:17 AM
my uncle once built an industrial pellet former out of a retired semi trailer

But a lot of these things have dependencies on gvcs. And its the main focus rn. Just keep that in mind. It's important to have the broader interests and picture, follow your white rabbit, but the most important thing to OSE is to have the basic gvcs ready by 2028 (edited)

how, exactly, are we going to get our hands on silicon, for manufacturing PCBs in the CNC Circuit Mill?
6:42 AM
and also, integrated circuits themselves
6:42 AM
since those require a fab house of some kind

since you need a cleanroom and a lithography machine to turn silicon wafers into integrated circuits

ohhhhhhhh, i see, i think

you have an aluminium/copper plate, and the mill scrapes past the copper?

VirtualPants 9/23/2020 7:05 AM
it's just pouring electrical current into a metal until it melts but I've read that the metal has to be really pure in order to work that makes me wary of its reliability when working with lower class metals you don't find perfect spring steel just lying around anymore moreover, in confused why the metal purity is such a major factor the mere act of melting down metals typically increases their relative purity, as imperfections rise to the top, doesn't it? this should be easy beans we just need a big bucket, made out of something heat resistant like tungsten, so we can liquify our metals and not our bucket to melt everything

yeah, i was thinking, in order to start the process of preparing raw materials for use in an induction furnace, why not just start by using a blast furnace or crucible to gradually remove impurities from raw ore?

If you mean we as in fans in this discord, 🤷. If you mean the core team, they must have a source of lime because its an input for the CEB press. I assume they get it on location, since its naturally abundant, but I'm not yet an expert on the brick project. It may be that's something you would learn in the workshop. (edited)

hmm... calcium pectate is a critical part of plants, holding together cell walls.

Looks like edamame contains the most calcium, with tofu at 350mg per 3.5 ounces

a soybean farm, briny water, and a source of electricity seems like a good place to start

If we could figure out the minimum necessary chemical reactions for an open source society, we could add those, and add machines for them if necessary

useful though, and probably originally intended for recycling anyway

4:27 AM
lubricants for machines, plastics for seals, propellant gasses for aerosols, and refrigerants etc
4:27 AM
again very long term
4:27 AM
the pyrolysis oil can be used "raw" in a "waste oil burner" or an oil lamp, but probably with a bit of pollution

eh, biofuel...

Not really. Even without gasoline and other fuels currently around, they're still outcompeted by nuclear, possibly wind/hydro, and they take up a ton of land to produce
4:30 AM
maybe algae based ones, but I think that'd take some genetic engineering,and I think we could probably pursue a lot more interesting tasks with even basic genetic engineering

what about: - sewage - agricultural/timber milling waste - subsidised "not growing" areas being used to farm biomass gmo-ed to increase soil nitrogen etc

what?

I could see sewage and milling waste as a recycling based plant, and I suppose you could trim some wild plants sometimes, but not too much that you destroy the environment.

I think you're right in your opinion on the biodegradable "plastic", but I think you're missing the point. I see it as having the capability of replacing specific single-use plastics like styrofoam take-out boxes or styrofoam cups. This material is in it's extreme infantcy. Once we figure out how to make the material more waterproof and multi-use instead of single-use, but still be able to biodegrade, it will become popular & also useful.
Avatar
D●M J■HN 10/7/2020 1:39 AM
@Eric Lotze Do you think that there's any use in further developing the material as how PP are currently manufacturing biodegradable plastics?
1:42 AM
Do you think that the current material could be useful in some aspects? Also I seen you in the comments talking about plastic bottles. Do you have any alternatives in water storage in that way?

i find them largely unnessisary, ESPECIALLY when sold to consumers (ie not for medical/emergency use etc)

OH WAIT I DONT EVEN NEED THOSE MODULAR ALUMINUM RODS

i forgot that you can just put those screw rods on things and thread linear motors onto them
3:21 AM
so i could put two rods on either side and put the motors on the moving "head"?

or would that not be structurally stable

there is the universal axis, then the e m b i g g e n e d one

question: is it easier/safer to spin the entire length of the rods on stationary motors, or better to put the motors on the head and make the rods stationary (edited)

is the end goal of the project just to lift a monitor? How much distance is being traveled?

end goal would be to lift a relatively moderate payload (which might have a couple more motors for pitch and yaw) to any height between the confines of a 42U server rack (edited)
3:34 AM
42U = 73.5" = ~186.7cm
3:35 AM
ideally, the top and bottom would be adjustable to beyond 42u, either above or below
3:35 AM
since server racks come in a few variations
Avatar
i know how to make the adjustable bit: just make the belt stationary and secure both ends, but make it so the motor wraps around the belt in the middle so it can use the belt as a track

i forget if the universal axis is "fail safe" or deadly via dropping stuff (may depend on wiring of motors, and gearboxes used too). There is some spec sheet somewhere i think too

it essentially turns a BLDC into a servo (with a separate rotary encoder)
8:55 PM
all open source and whatnot
8:55 PM
the board has two motor slots, so if you only need 1 you are overbuying, and if it a robotic arm with 10 servos you need 5 seperate pcbs just for the servos (edited)

Imean physics-wise you're doing more Work w a longer pull, but cycling has the advantage of being (roughly) continuous while rowing most of the effort is on the "up"stroke

@Eric Lotze I was thinking about the biodegradable plastic by PP. I remember you saying that it is useless, but here's my take on it: People will litter. No matter how much they're advised not to, people will litter. That's just a fact of life at this point. One type of litter you see a whole lot of is litter for food packaging, e.g. Take-out packaging. The best we can do is figure out how to handle the situation better. And that's where biodegradables step in.
Avatar
Yeah IMO packaging directly touching food is the main difficulty w plastic, bc that's both where most of the unclean plastic gets introduced into the wastestream & bc manufacturers don't tend to see recycled plastic as food-grade. Other than that plastics (incl bioplastics) are very nifty

if you had the right index fund at 10-15% growth a year and good portfolio management like ark invest seems to be, then 50k today would be worth 3.2Million in 2050

buy a house after 2 years of work, get a 2nd mortgage and put that into a verifiably good stock index in the cutting edge industries(most growth, risk mitigated by portfolio management on the index funds part) and poof, with 2 years of hard work and 30 years of making the payments on your home (either with the help of roomates while working part time, or while working fulltime) you have between 2-3 million to go shopping on mars (edited)

so eventually I scoop a mining machine install proxmox and start cooking photogrammetry compute in a bunch of VMS controlled by my desktop?

my workstation is good, but definitely a middle weight
Avatar
you'd probably want to install a special-purpose linux-based rendering server on that machine instead virtual machines are good for running a lot of dramatically different applications on the same machine and between different machines, but a purpose-spun server application running on a really light OS like debian or alpine is better for getting a lot of big machines to collaborate towards the same application
11:25 PM
VMs are more appropriate for general-purpose datacenters
11:28 PM
i don't have a render farm, although if i did, i would most likely provision it with Canonical's Metal-as-a-Service toolkit, so that i can deploy more than just rendering jobs to the render farm if there's ever a point where the farm doesn't have anything left to do for when i'm done..well..rendering something

OSHW TOASTER: Video Inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLk1cjZ4ll0 Materials: nichrome wire heating elements metal insulation outer container material Arduino/custom PCB for controls clickwheel+small e-ink display IR thermometer module ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/1074 ) safe power supply all the misc bits for making the above happen How it works: Same as the one in the video, but instead of using a mechanical strip, it uses an ir thermometer and window covering it from crumbs on each side (or a few spaced apart by a few cm) for temperature sensing The desired temp and/or toasted-ness etc is selected with the click wheel thing, then set (it can stay set until unset via e-ink, ie no menu every damn time), then it runs "as normal" (edited)

Pet apparently calls for a 4hr drying time at 300-340 degrees. I assume that is using whatever drying equipment is built into the hopper of the big industrial injection machines

When I had a freeze drier, it required a lot of oil to run. Freeze drying is very useful for preserving food. We would filter the oil using some methods- having a really good oil filtration method could be very useful for that. Having a freeze drying operation that ran on recycled oil would be cool (edited)

I know some odd stuff occurs with the chemistry, supposedly modern fryers re-use the oil a bunch via filtering so it forms a less bio-diesel friendly version? All part of all the petrochecm / bio-petrochem mess i need to learn aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa But bio-diesel is really useful

Excuse my artistic mastery: smth like this I think fulfills the basic connectivity requirements that the omnidirectional stuff does, just with a lot more space required. If each 'strip' had some sort of electromagnet on each end (or one ferromagnet+one electromagnet to save $) it could split apart pretty easily, which with enough design work could make an autonomous factory type setup

Imean it's a inverter controller designed for solar, which is DC. Afaik most wind motors output AC unless it's pre-rectified to put out DC (pretty sure it's a fire hazard too if it rectifies to DC before it gets to ground level). Once you give this guy DC, it won't technically know where it's getting it from, tho it might try some sort of MPPT trickery which might mess with whatever windmill controller....overall at that scale I wouldn't necessarily suggest tinkering with much ur not confident with

Nah any transformer & anything with magnetism is AC as a rule of thumb - electric fields changing in direction produce magnetic fields, and magnetic fields changing in direction produce electric fields

Anything u plug into a house wall is AC, and usually those black block plugs have some sort of AC->AC change for appropriate voltage (either transformers or solid state buck/boost) followed by a full bridge rectifier taking AC->DC (clever diode setup) (edited)

Microwaves take in AC, then use a transformer to step up 120/240 to like. Fkn thousands of volts AC

Yeah transformers are cool bc the % change AC stays constant with a specific winding, so if you have one that works say from 120V to 1200V (10x) and feed it 60V, you'll get 600V. Changing the coil/dipole changes the multiplying factor.

Best way to learn is to make mistakes yourself, which reminds me - this is a really cool new setup from raspberry pi, it has the whole pi in a keyboard so u can just plug it into whatever screen you have, seems to be a rly great way to get started w both electronics & linux 😁 https://youtu.be/P1E5xszQqV8

Other things I can think of: • Emergency search and rescue • Emergency medical / blood delivery (like Zipline in Kenya) • Shark-spotting (already done locally, here in False Bay) • Rhino anti-poaching surveillance However, the anti-poaching drones currently used by our park rangers are often deployed at night and need IR night-vision cameras. Also, they are mission-critical, since it's often a combat situation. But low-cost, DIY drones could still be useful for non-critical tracking of critically endangered animals. Their home ranges can be pretty extensive. These days the rhinos are fitted with GPS collars that send out alerts if they stop moving or have unusual movement at night. (edited)

Still, for telecommunication in a disaster zone, cut off from the outside World , you'll take what you can get. Ultimately, the only real advantage over quadcopters would come in applications where many hours of semi-autonomous flight are needed and swapping out batteries is not feasible. I think the Zipline fixed-wings have a rang of about 100 km and about 40 mins flight time. But they are launched with a rail "catapult." The anti-poaching fixed-wings are around the same size as the one in the video and also launched with a throw.

I'm also generally interested in completely independent, long range communications that can't be controlled, censored or disconnected by government interference. Like the growing trend of governments arbitrarily blocking certain social media or the entire country's internet access during contested elections or civil uprising. If the country's "hard lines" to the internet are cut, only people with satellite phones / transceivers can get past the censorship. During the so-called "Arab Spring," people resorted to driving to border fences and throwing flashdrives with protest footage over the fence to a contact in the neighbouring country, just to get some of the information out during internet blockades.

Thanks, @Karl Sagan I've done some superficial reading on LoRa. It seemed promising. Especially with receivers that can plug into standard smartphones. Of course, with "The Space Race 2.0" kicking off, crowd-funded, mini-satellite constellations, outside government or corporate control might become more common. But it adds to the Kessler Syndrome, so it's not without significant drawbacks. Also, DIY space launches will not be "a thing" anytime soon. It might be more feasible to use "disposable" technology, in case governments and multi-national corporations get seriously territorial about their current monopolies. For example, in South Africa, our ITC handicap is thoroughly due to government corruption and collusion with international players.

Luckily, most governments are too incompetent for that level of sophistication / coordination. But if it comes down to that level of suppression, it requires a whole other, fundamental culture shift.

It was how they communicated news to the public from outside the borders, when all media was government controlled. "Been there...Done that...Got the T-shirt."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Freedom It was a bit "before my time" (early childhood), so I wasn't quite sure how the system actually worked. It was mostly short-wave broadcasts from outside the country, and the government did jam the signal. They just didn't manage to efficiently jam it everywhere. Anyway, it's just a bit of history regarding "obsolete" technology. In the same time period, the common method for getting banned reading material in and out of the country, was micro-film that had to be physically couriered in trusted networks because mail was frequently opened by the government. It's useful to think about it in terms of how the same government would have restricted internet use, if the internet existed back then. Probably something like North Korea, today. Maybe by convincing the population that there's "nothing interesting" to see. (We didn't have TV broadcasts until 1975, so my parents' generation grew up without TV.) (edited)
Radio Freedom was the radio propaganda arm of the African National Congress (ANC) and its fighting wing Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) (Spear of the Nation) during the anti-Apartheid struggle from the 1970s through the 1990s. It was the oldest liberation radio station in Africa. Liste...

Mhm, and most pricing is done using the rule of thumb "be cheaper than eBay" so if u could just get a huge scraped DB of successful eBay sales with the pictures of each, then the necessary human labor just becomes checking "is this item in my hand the same as the item the computer is pointing to on eBay"

If we have enough folks to moderate and "keep the peace," you might as well start a new server for it. Lack of enthusiasm is only reason I haven't done it. And also because I can't make judgements on the technical aspects. Better to have server staff with know-how. The PP core team have never been on board. They just don't like 3DP for some reason.

Anyone have any ideas for a non-toxic coating for plastic containers to protect them from the sun outdoors (polypropylene specifically)? I use these containers for my flood/drain hydroponic systems as they are inexpensive, the perfect size, watertight, and i find alternative materials like concrete WAY too heavy when thick/strong enough. It is hard to find anything to stick or bind to polypropylene since it is so resistant to various chemical solvents. I've tried something like four different paints designed for plastic but they always flake off within a single season. I've even tried melting various highly pigmented plastic films (like trash bags) over the containers but it is crazy labor intensive, they eventually delaminate, and/or get uv damaged themselves. I've basically resorted to completely covering the containers with fiberglass with lots of black pigment in the resin but this is super labor intensive and not cheap either. I'm feel like I'm basically just making expensive fiberglass trays at this point.

UV is extra difficult & idk how to deal w that other than 'buy the one made for outdoors/UV', but w painting PP, I was actually planning on looking into that deeper rly soon once I finish my shredder frame

They need to be a specific size to fit the modular containers i use for each plant. I've tried to standardize so i can easily move plants around and between systems as needed. I've toyed with the idea of somehow buying a bunch of ABS foam pipe from home depot which are pretty uv resistant. But then somehow slicing apart and heat molding into flat sheets, heat welding them together into larger sheets, and then into custom sized boxes. Not sure an efficient way to do this and get straight cuts so they fit together, however.

Would be much easier if there was some sort of paint, ink, stain, decal process, etc. For example don't manufacturers sometimes print stuff directly on polypropylene shampoo bottles and stuff?

@Karl Sagan I'm also interested in food-grade canning / preserving. Once small-scale vertical farming is established, being able to preserve and stock-pile the food is a big leap forward for sustainability. Ideally, for fresh produce, you'd want to produce just enough for the local market. But I'm in a part of the World where subsistence farming is extremely relevant. Even the government admits this. In other words, getting certified to industry-standard food safety is less of a concern. It's more about being independent from Big Agri.

I'm reposting a rant here:
3:45 AM
I may make a page on OSE wiki sometime soon in a more coherent manner, but essentially Home scale is essentially as homes are now, albeit with the solar, and all the somewhat "recent" design type things, and prefrably be kind of the "new urbanism" kind of medium density type deal, so no huge equipment, probably just a small FDM printer, a computer, small inkjet and all that, the basics Makerspace Scale is where the large majority of stuff would happen, so have a mixed community center/small factory/workshop/library type thing. Almost like a big box store, but for making most things. So instead of each house having a drill, you have onsite stuff + a toolshare for onsite needs etc The bit i really need to think over is above that Things like chemicals and raw materials do scale well, and some things such as neodyminium magnets etc need special ore But chemical plants etc could be 1 for every state or so short of extreme areas where feedstocks couldn't grow etc, then trade not for simple stuff, but for complex/rare feedstocks, and luxury goods? https://www.amazon.com/Travels-T-Shirt-Global-Economy-Economist/dp/0471648493 haven't read the book yet, but the TLDR is just on the whole shipping things around, and it makes sense with the current model economically With both long haul shipping using bunker fuel and all that + countries demanding higher wages, plus just decentralization potentially growing, POST magical shift that wouldn't happen overnight what would that system look like?

All I can say about Emperor Musk is this: You might want to think carefully about being stuck on an uninhabited planet with a guy who callously turns his back on "unimportant" countries (given his origin and recent comment about US-backed coups.) Or at least make sure you have more ammo / explosives / drones than he does, when you get there. A life-support space base isn't exactly "brimming" resources. And you can't phone for a pizza, or a cop.

Well, he has publicly said that people who apply to be colonists should be the kind of people who are prepared to die for a sense of adventure and pushing the limits of human achievement. Sort of like those who went searching for the geographic poles, or people who climb Everest. But, the thing is... I'm pretty sure the frozen corpses that now litter Mount Everest (and are used as waypoint markers by today's climbers) didn't really think they would end up like that. There is a certain folly in unwarranted "optimism."

Frederik C (ZA) 11/23/2020 4:12 PM
I reckon something like the wilderness survival reality show Alone would be a good test for candidates. Except that they should have all the equipment of the expected Mars base, and should go for 4 years straight without outside contact or pressing their panic button to "tap out." Also, they should be confined to a certain area of the Atacama desert, where they may not leave the boundaries of the test area. If they can do that, they might be "Mars material." Otherwise, forget it. (edited)
Avatar
Frederik C (ZA) 11/23/2020 7:55 PM
Four years alone, then four years in a carefully selected team of finalists. That's important, because it's unlikely that each base will have more than one escape rocket (with maybe one redundancy.) And the emergency supplies needed for a return journey to Earth will have to remain in an orbital station around Mars. It's very unlikely to have a redundancy for that. Otherwise we would have two ISSs. We don't. That means either the entire team votes to leave within any given launch window or no-one leaves. That's it. There is no "tapping out" on Mars. The people who volunteered for the no-return mission (including some South Africans), have no idea what they're doing.

seems like this system is plug in play with any printer
4:03 AM
attach wire to hotend, attach wire to reference block (could hand grind down the end of a bolt with a dremel to keep things simple) figure out the right insulated jumper circuit to relay that info back to the brain of the printer, and hopefully it can just be like another input on the board in the form of a limit switch, from there its finding a slicer besides lulzbot'z (non free?) version that allows this all to go down. Alternatively, get encoders and just count your steps. EDIT: oh wait, this is going a step further, to the physical hardware, not just encoders, sure you can use encoders to smash the hotend into the reference block and count how many steps it took, but that still doesn't compare to the accuracy of the reference blockwith contact feedback, accounting for backlash in many different points beyond the encoder (edited)
4:08 AM
still, honestly if anyone is good with (lua? python? sure you could code a specific slicer addition to allow a limit switch input on the board to plug into the backlash compensator
4:08 AM
if lulzbot hasn't made it publically available already
Avatar
I read the article about the backlash compensation on the new TAZ Pro and TAZ Workhorse and that got me thinking. The current version of firmware on the TAZ 6 has backlash compensation on Z and it looks like the additional piece needed to do X and Y is fairly simple. Would it be possible to add X and Y to the TAZ 6 (and Mini)?
Avatar
I thought it would be firmware tweaks, but figured the slicer might be able to pick up the limit switch input
4:13 AM
so you need to code a firmware tweak that does all this stuff in house, as I don't think the slicer will work unless you are printing live from a computer over ethernet

all you'd need is like a tiny gantry robot maybe two linear axis one for reaching into the printer to grab the plate, and another for moving up and down the rack to shelve the part

and with the universal axis you could literally just slap 1-3 of em behind the printer with a wedge/blade on the printer side, add some gcode for it, and it would be good (even if just pushing into a bucket/net/bin)

Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol; commonly called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable chemical compound (chemical formula CH3CHOHCH3) with a strong odor. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atom...

she needs 5 million in backing for creality to opensource it

it's more than just a risky kickstarter, if she sells like 6,250 on kickstarter, creality opensources that design

which, when paired with wax suspended metal powder filament, you can print tool steel at home, in any geometry you can imagine.
10:35 PM
I mean, you can do it either way, just easier to commercialize when you aren't stepping on patents

and if you want to truly live offgrid, in a multi-gen spaceship, cheap toolsteel in complex geometries could be important

Video made it look like you just swap the filament into a 3d printer without modification and then experiment to dial in the temperature/feed rate settings. Did i miss something that makes it tricky?

Anyone here do a lot of machine learning model development? I don't consider myself an expert but i feel like they are prone to some of the same bias as humans. Maybe just me but neural network classification models in particular seem to struggle to separate non statistically significant coincidences from true predictive correlations. Is this perhaps an aspect of these sort of learning structures.... whether organic or virtual? (edited)

Human false positives are an evolutionary adaptation. In terms of fight or flight, falsely identifying danger has only the consequence of wasting energy. Failing to identify danger, just once, is potentially fatal. So, evolution favoured "paranoid" brains.

Frederik C (ZA) 12/1/2020 9:50 PM
I'm not sure what my actual point is, in terms of AI. I guess it's that we can't divorce the way our minds work from the evolutionary imperatives that shaped our minds. And the "mind" of an AI is free of those constraints, for better or worse. We should also bear in mind that human brains are terrible at dealing with "slow-moving," long-term threats like societal collapse, inter-generational conflict, ecological collapse, resource depletion, climate change, pandemics, highly probable natural disasters, etc. We really suck at it. Trying to mimic the human mind, is probably not the best strategy for most applications. But imagining a sapient mind, other than our own, is probably too abstract for us to really handle. Therein, lies the rub, as far as I can tell.

Imo 'ai' can only be intelligent directly proportional to the amount of channels of information it gets. What info it gets is always ultimately a political decision

I think it is even worse than that, however. Historical data doesn't necessarily predict future events. Additionally, isolated coincidental events are hard to differentiate from repeating patterns. Identifying objective truth is really hard. It requires highly abstract thinking, statistical evaluation, calculation of confidence intervals, etc. Humans and all the machine learning methods I've seen so far don't think like this. AI and evolutionary brains both use a super simplistic "this happened once before so it will happen again" sort of mentality with complete disregard for standard error (edited)
Avatar
Yep for sure! I think that's a fundamental constraint of machine learning & idk if it can be 'fixed'. ML after all is basically fancy gradient descent, and you can only descend a gradient that actually Exists (ie historical)
10:29 PM
Whether organic brains suffer from it irreparably I think is a question of philosophy - "where do New Things come from?"
Avatar
My hope for humanity is that we would all learn our cognitive limitations and compensate by religiously following a systematic process to identify objective truths free from bias. By definition I think this is what science is... but I'm not sure I want to call it that anymore since non-scientists have a very different understanding of what science is 😦 (edited)

Engineering student Carvey Ehren Maigue has been named the James Dyson Awards first-ever global sustainability winner for his AuReus system, in which waste crops are turned into cladding that can generate clean energy from ultraviolet light.
10:00 PM
Similarly, Maigue's system uses luminescent particles derived from waste agricultural crops. To pull out the bioluminescent particles from specific fruits and vegetables, Maigue goes through a process of crushing them and extracting their juices, which are then filtered, distilled or steeped. The particles are suspended in resin before the resulting substrate is moulded into cladding and clamped onto walls or sandwiched between the two panes of a double glazed window. These particles convert UV light into visible light, which is reflected to the very edges of the panel. "The light relies on internal reflectance of the material to self-correct and guide itself towards the emitting edge," ... "This can be controlled by specific laser etching patterns as well." This visible light can then be captured and converted into electricity by a string of regular photovoltaic (PV) cells, like the ones found in regular solar panels, which fringe the outside of the cladding.

@Karl Sagan I'm starting to see a future for Johnny Mnemonic type "data couriers." I wonder if governments will admit to being able to break all conventional encryption standards, when it happens. History says no. Maybe big-ass cash prizes offered to researchers in "crypto-cracking" contests will save what's left of the internet. 😕 😓

The india video seemed mostly like sizes, timelines, and other trivia about the project vs any real analysis. Is there a bias in particular you are concerned about? They seem to be only claiming the first large multiterminal hvdc line... not the longest nor the highest carrying capacity.

disregarding safety concerns for a second, would it make sense to wire up a home of "tomorrow" with a power outlet standard that is just DC-only? so every device's power supply is just dc-dc stepdowns & buck converters instead of a full ac-dc transformer

My understanding is that also AC is an ideal choice for efficient and cheap voltage conversion as you near the endpoints. DC is rather hard and expensive to convert at large amperages, no?

To be fair... governments are often terrible at managing certain things. Internet is a great example. the same freakanomics podcast i learned the colorado thing from also researched and found that most government run ISPs are really, really, poorly run. Not suprisingly, politicians know jack shit about running efficient internet service providers so even the non-profit government ISPs are sometimes worse than the for profit ones after they take a huge cut. Sometimes politicians arn't even good at being politicians depending on why they are elected. At least with corporations managers get hired based on expertise.

That would certainly apply to people like us... but the big issue I read was that a huge number of internet users are also really, really, stupid as well and thus the ISP end up dealing with that. That requires call centers, call routing technologies, managers that know how to hire/manage/train support people, etc. Small governments have zero expertise in this as well.

the REAL problem is that none of the consumer-oriented products take advantage of some critical automation practices that can DRAMATICALLY simplify how much the end user needs to know in order to bring a device to full functionality the same goal is already provided by Open19, with its ability to auto-provision servers once you connect new ones and how stupidly simple it is to connect and disconnect servers

Wanting to be connected is not the issue. It is hard to survive in society without it (paying bills, communicating, virtual doctor visits, etc). Saying "screw them they don't want it bad enough" is basically just neglect since some people literally don't have the basic skills to take care of certain things themselves.

idk there isn't really a "good port" yet and that pisses me off
5:16 PM
USB-C may work
5:16 PM
but then the fact that it COULD also be a data port is confusing
5:17 PM
same with XLR, that is usually audio or dmx data, but it could be a good power dc cord + interface
5:18 PM
"barrel jacks" / cigarette lighter outlets etc work, but are bulky and don't really have the "prongs" of things like AC outlets, or any weatherproofing really
5:18 PM
you could also use a standard outlet, but that can (and given enough perople, EVENTUALLY WOULD due to idiots etc) lead to errors involving plugging someting ac into dc outlets and vice versa
5:19 PM
There are thing like this:
5:19 PM
5:20 PM
which are pretty good, but i think the AC->DC converter is usually the same as shitty "wall warts", just inside the wall

Unlike other offset companies offsets could be considered donations and be tax deductible and better yet be submitted to many employers for a company match.

Yeah those AC+USB ports are literally just the guts of wallworts being shoved in a AC outlet. The biggest drawback is it takes more time to manufacture & sell em than it takes the USB foundation to come up w new versions 😔

How big are said AC-DC converters that do it the efficient way? (edited)
Avatar
I'm not sure I'd call them wall warts personally... maybe my age is showing but "back in my day" wall warts is what old fashioned plug in transformers were called. As a tiny transformer they had no active voltage regulation, large, heavy (because of all the copper wire in them), were 50% efficient at best, and would heat up and waste power even without a load on them. Wall warts have pretty much been phased out. modern voltage converters are pwm buck converters which are smaller, cheaper, lighter, amazing voltage regulation, and extremely efficent by comparison.
10:41 PM
There is very little energy waste
Avatar
so the issue is outdated sort of
10:41 PM
ah ok
10:42 PM
is there anything "better" than that tech or not really? (obiously excluding shit used for HVDC and other HUGE things)
Avatar
I'm not sure anyone really prioritizes it. Since even cheap ac>dc converters for phones and such are 90%+ efficient, consume nothing when there isn't a load, and since we are only usually talking 5-10 watts of power if you wanted to get to 95% efficient you would only be saving like 0.5-1 Watt of power. That is such a tiny gain it seems a waste of time when energy for many people only costs something like $0.10 per 1,000 watts
10:51 PM
Also... low voltage systems like the 12v dc ones discussed earlier are also problematic because you need to increase current to get the same power and electrical line losses are almost entirely a factor of current. 1/10th the voltage and means your wires need to have 10 times the carrying capacity to even break even.
Avatar
so if i get this right, more wire length caused power loss?
10:52 PM
or just more wire needed otherwise lower power
Avatar
Thicker wire needed otherwise greater losses.
10:55 PM
So maintaining 120 volts all the way up to your endpoint where you step it down actually has merit from an efficiency perspective. If you are looking for a better system I would argue it might be how europe uses 240v AC circuits for essentially everything. Twice the voltage means half the current for the same energy
10:55 PM
Currently in the US all homes have 240v circuits but it is only used for high power devices like electric stoves, ovens, dryers, etc

europe is WAY better lol

Or we could even go to 360 volt systems

is that 3 phase power? (i'm sorry for my electronic illiteracy lol, i need to fix that)

Exactly, you got it (essentially three 120v circuits in series). It is also the service needed for the "supercharger" stations for electric vehicles
Avatar
yup i do know a bit about 3 phase and all that, is it more costly to deliver/convert or no?
Avatar
I'm no expert but I assumed that all the utility power stations are producing 3 phase... just that they only bother running 2 of the phases into residential homes
11:01 PM
Since 2 phase is already a thing in all residential buildings I suppose there would be nothing stopping a homeowner from replacing all their outlets with the European shaped ones. Most electronic devices nowdays anyway have input ranges from 100-250 volts or somthing similar so they only have to make one product that works in all markets

back on the note of power
11:05 PM
I think, assuming it wouldn't cause issues with efficiency in cables etc (may save money via wires with the voltage as it does in the eu system i think) : 360v, UK style socket (the ltt video mentioned "universal ones" that accept everything, common at hotels etc?), and double breakers (gfci per-plug, and central thing)

only going to 1/3 fuel capacity, but either way a stoic explosion of that ammount of fuel would (or will be with enough launches due to sheer probability) be...something

On the power thing it seems to me like grid tie inverters are problematically expensive. Nearly as much as the solar panels. I wonder what the expensive part is. the DC>AC conversion or just the fancy voltage regulation circuits. Or maybe some of both since normal inverters are only partially cheaper
11:23 PM
Seems a cost barrier to distributed power generation
11:23 PM
Wonder if there were other power grid types if this would have been easier

I don't suppose there's a workable open-source standard for proving identity, is there? My understanding is PGP public key signing never really became widely adopted. So, where does the privacy community currently stand with this? We experimented with the Alt Identifier bot, but I don't like that you have to give it access to your account. It seems to me that creates a "single point of failure" that could compromise millions of accounts if something goes wrong. (edited)

PGP/GPG is pretty standard & widely used in crypto/sec circles!
Avatar
Frederik C (ZA) 12/13/2020 10:34 PM
Yes, but that's still a "small" crowd. The general public didn't really get into it. And the key servers were compromised. Staying anonymous and providing some kind of trackable ID are conflicting concepts. A Catch 22. I haven't been following the state of the art much, for the last 15 years or so. I thought maybe there's something new that I missed. Any decentralized architecture pretty much has to be based on people signing each other's keys to indicate a certain level of trust, right? Almost like LinkedIn? How else can it be done?
10:37 PM
The trouble is always if you have no mutual contacts in the "web of trust" of two parties who don't know each other.
Avatar
Which servers? You can always spin up ur own keyserver for private comms, the public keyservers are intended to fit into the 'web of trust' model for proof of identity
10:49 PM
But yeah proof of ID is inherently centralized to some extent, GPG is less abt "anonymity" per se, and more "privacy" (theoretically anyone can see who wrote the message but you can't see the msg)
10:52 PM
& the only way I can imagine privacy & anonymity working together is some sorta distributed ledger ("blockchain"), but that introduces vulnerabilities in the form of 51% attacks so :/

Since SSL-certificates only work because an accredited middle-man signs them, some trusted, semi-centralized, but disinterested party is needed. So, some non-profit places with physical offices connected to a blockchain node. You present your physical ID card to an official who enters it into the system. The system checks it against the global database, but hashes it first. Since each ID number in the same country is unique, no two hashes will be the same. So, each person has only one key, and each key is connected to only one living person. But no-one can trace it back to your real ID number. Something like that. Might work for anonymizing digital elections too. But we use paper in SA, and I'm all for it. The voters are dumb as posts, but it's one of the most solid electoral systems in terms of security. We should definitely which to ranked choice ballots, but that's another story. (edited)
Avatar
The number one way to secure any computer system: shoot anybody who even thinks of suggesting connecting it to the internet 😉 & Technically, you can self-sign SSL certs, you just can't get others to trust that self-signing unless you've got enough Clout to convince them you're trustworthy (and if you've got enough Clout to convince google chrome to not put up a 'untrusted cert' notification - rn w web stuff, browsers are the biggest monopoly (firefox even bases everything on chromium nowadays)) (edited)

Trackable but anonymized ID would, even if it isn't trusted enough for official voting, at least be good enough for very accurate opinion polling. I can think of lots of reasons why governments and corporations wouldn't want that. Much of the system works on false consensus.

is this acronym good? Well, if you are free to choose anything, acronyms that can be spoken as words are preferable. So, is it called an "Oh-say"? "Oh-séh"? Or just name them something more whimsical / descriptive. Like "FabLab," but obviously not that.

either or i guess? I kind of like how it is adaptable to dialects so like deap sauth oeh-saaaaaaaaah vs Oh-séh (also would be intrested to see how that would work with other language families)

Reddit is as broad in people as the internet imo short of maybe groups who don't use social media as much, but even facebook has that issue.

self-selected echo chamber effect just becomes toxic Yes, but getting constantly interrupted by idiots becomes exhausting, and as the saying goes "a friend to all is a friend to none" because in an increasingly polarized World, with survival stakes and threats constantly escalating, at some point you have to "close ranks" to keep out the "riff-raff" and get something done.

I think some "minor tweaking" to the USA education system to include:
  • Life Skills Class (So Shop Class + Cooking + Cleaning + Misc Small Stuff Fixing + Taxes/Bugets)
  • Philosophy + Thinking Class (So all the logical fallacies, and various ways to approach ethical issues
  • Technology Class (Code in some language (i can't beyond block icons so not the one to decide here...), using all of LibreOffice, how to use search engines and all that, various input devices)
  • Travel/Exposure to other cultures GRANTED this would require getting all the people onboard and all the actual planning done by educators, not just "wow easy fix", but i feel that would fix the gaps in Technological and Scientific Literacy
12:08 AM
I think "tech class" is somewhat standard? Not sure if it is state or federal

Even just teaching the logical fallacies bit is almost a vaccine against populist candidates/parties and full on fascism and all that imo

There's just two "slight" problems with that: 1. The ecological collapse and resource depletion / contamination of virtually all current industrial processes probably means that giving all 8 to 11 billion of us the "Western Lifestyle" is probably a pipe dream. 2. The only way to achieve it under so-called "free markets" is either A) dirt cheap and dangerous labour (which perpetuates cycles of poverty and social stratification) or B) automation (which leads to societal and/or economic collapse because robots don't buy things or vote.)

Your rule is a great excuse to assume a lot of weaknesses in people's reasons for thinking the way they do without actually engaging with them. You would have done better to actually zip it than say you were zipping it, as the latter just shows that you can dish negativity and criticism, but not take it. We all here likely disagree on a lot of things, but most productive people like to talk it out. You just like to accuse people of being unable to understand on the basis of their nationality. Boring. I have a few guesses why you disagree with the proposition that it's possible to significantly improve global living conditions. The enormity of the task and all the powers against it aren't lost on me, and I do get cynical. Especially as things keep getting weirder, the various weaknesses of human kind being exposed by the current conditions. But assuming anyone inspired to try lives in some polly-anna, colonialism-amnesic, neoliberal futurist bubble is more than premature. I am sure there are actually many of them on your continent as well as everywhere else globally. FLOSS is a global movement, and so is OSE with collaborators all over the world. Some of us are inspired by the legacy of people who tried before- and what they did accomplish. Some of us get joy in it. Most both. There hasn't often been many who could, but even with all the problems we face, inequity, natural disaster, human weakness- we have more knowledgeable people (via improvements in literacy and communication technology) and more people living above poverty than ever before in history. All we can hope for is as many as possible tuning in to the maintenance and effort of guiding this Spaceship earth into the future. (edited)

also why do y'all say you immediately replace the nozzle (or maybe it was extruder) with something else?

Since I faced so many troubles with the cheap or un updated hotend and an indirect extruder. There is so many updates toward hotend side i.e all metal hotend from micro swiss or a cheaper one from triangle labs aliexpress. The layer shifting because of indirect extrusion and also a worst unspooling arrangement.

how big is the spool?

dial the printer in with non CF PLA, then once you have that switch to CF PLA do a test print

it looks like the x axis can go another 10mm maximum travel distance

but i can't find an option to increase the max volume size

The tri-star is a novel wheel design—originally by Robert and John Forsyth, assigned to Lockheed in 1967—in which three wheels are arranged in an upright triangle with two on the ground and one above them. If either of the wheels in contact with the ground gets stuck, the whole system rotates over the obstruction.

Photocatalytic water splitting is an artificial photosynthesis process with photocatalysis in a photoelectrochemical cell used for the dissociation of water into its constituent parts, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), using either artificial or natural light.

More on hydrogen: https://youtu.be/-PL32ea0MqM Hydrogen (esp fuel cells) is going to be adopted shockingly quickly IMO (as in like 2023 they're gonna be in the process of being rolled out beyond a couple test programs for big vehicles, within the 2-3 years after that there'll be a massive push to adopt).

like auto-archiving/organizing? More like "community curated." Simplest is just a channel for "dumping" any interesting stuff we find. Basically an "endless scroll" of weblinks with brief descriptions of what it is. One step up from that is a "starboard" channel. YAGbot can do it. It posts to a read-only channel, any posts that get a certain number of votes from users. So, "featured posts" or posts that members find interesting or useful. Not so much to "elevate" it, but just condense content, for those who haven't been on the server for a few days. (edited)

My current "deep dive" is about online crowd-sourced consultation / participatory democracy systems. The same issues always pop up in every online /decentralized community I come across. It's time to solve those issues, for once. Thanks to deliberate and circumstantial / historical information bubbles, it's easier to identify polarizing issues than it is to identify consensus. Fixing Democracy relies on doing exactly that. But that requires rethinking how systems should work. And, frankly, most people simply don't care enough to try.

I think shenanigans-wise, the easiest way to mess with numbers is in the testing & test availability, as well as where to set the inflection points of "what level is considered how dangerous" which ends up having a Flappy Bird effect with the actual caseload (turns out "at what level should we reopen?" scientifically, should be "when there's 0 actual cases", as Australia has gotten close to - tho theyve also been playing loosey goosey ever since so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

They all use special purpose built blades? I have a huge diamond blade and motor I bought intending to build a small version of something like this to cut my own granite. Never figured out the shaft attachment, however, which limits its usefulness. The blades in these videos appear flush on one side.... does it use countersunk holes or something? My blade currently has a single hole in the middle for a through-bolt and washer/nut but that limits the cuts I can make. Not sure if the blade is thick enough to countersink. Afraid to try welding something to it as I assume it is a weird alloy, might not weld, and I end up destroying a rather expensive blade. I need ideas.

Not sure where to put this, but i was pondering it, and it seems to be already widespread in literature, not just some pipe dream of mine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-ion_battery Could take brine from desalination, and make eating salt, molten salt salt, bleach/chlorine, OR batteries+cholrine Also no need for the lithium then I need to grab actual papers, and see how the energy density compares, but still
The sodium-ion battery (NIB) is a type of rechargeable battery analogous to the lithium-ion battery but using sodium ions (Na+) as the charge carriers. Its working principle and cell construction are almost identical with those of the commercially widespread lithium-ion battery types, with the primary difference being that the lithium compounds ...

Sodium-ion batteries... years ago I was saddened when one of the smartest people I've ever worked with (and wanted to hire) decided to instead leave and move to Philadelphia to work at an exciting startup called Aquion energy. They had developed some crazy awesome utility scale sodium ion battery tech. They already had hundreds of millions in investment from some very reputable venture capital firms and the tech was machure enough that they had a crazy long list of customers that wanted to buy because of the low cost per kwh. The apparent challenge at that point was figuring out how to scale up and manufacture them fast enough. Seemed like a great problem to have.
11:10 AM
Here is a TED talk by one of the founders recorded a little before that. Mostly about the thought process around trying to design around scalable materials and rapidly adoptable designs however they do show a bunch of pictures of various prototypes and talk about cotton membranes. My takeaway was that it sounds incredibly simple to design but in practice there are a ton of hidden complexities that made it much harder. Many aspects were treated sorta like trade secrets but I understand one common issue with sodium-ion batteries is achieving decent lifespans which they felt they had done at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaMuxB4s5qI (edited)
Avatar
Not sure how deep you want to go on sodium-ion battery tech but I'd anyway love to sit down with Mike (my friend) over coffee at some point and get the full details of what happened after I last talked with him. Mike eventually became the vice president of product and systems engineering. He later left in 2015 to work for amazon. the next two years for them must not have gone well as Aquion filed for voluntary bankruptcy in 2017 and was bought by a chinese company that moved production to China. I'm curious Mike's opinion of the technology in hindsight and if he would now be more willing to share more specific details of how it worked. Also if it can still be competitive for scalable energy storage compared to all the latest competitors. Even though the bankruptcy was two years after he left I assume he would understand what went wrong financially @Eric Lotze (edited)

The "pop-up" museum made me think of a problem a local maker had at a Maker Faire type of thing, the year before last ("the before times.") It was sort of a "walk through" exhibit. He didn't have anyone to supervise all of his project stands, so he wanted to set up a simple interactive display, to explain the project, on a tablet built into a wooden case in front of the stand. We couldn't find simple software to do it with, in the limited time window we had. I'd be interested in a solution for that scenario. 🤔

I figured the "quickest" solution for a last-minute interactive display would be using something like DVD styler (freeware) to create a DVD menu, assuming you already have some graphics, animations and video clips to link the on-screen buttons to.
12:42 PM
The problem then, is ensuring that the audio is well-leveled, (maybe attaching USB stereo speakers to the tablet output) and positioning the wood cutout so that users can't access the top or bottom system menus on the tablet (for Android.) If they can navigate out of the DVD menu, the system is no good for a "kiosk" setup.

A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial swap agreement that the seller of the CDS will compensate the buyer in the event of a debt default (by the debtor) or other credit event. That is, the seller of the CDS insures the buyer against some reference asset defaulting. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (the CDS "fee" or "spread") ...

Once the debt domino effect goes high enough and the "too big to fail" institutions start to crack, the Fed will create money from nothing for bailouts. It's smoke and mirrors.

I suspect it's not as random and decentralized as it's being reported to be. The whole point of a market bubble is that it has to burst. Much a like a pyramid or ponzi scheme, the last people to buy in, are the ones that take the hit. I believe it's called a "pump 'n dump." You pump up the commodity price, right before you dump it. Where exactly the price graph drops, is largely a game of chicken between the "bros."

As for orbital stations... multiple "space-capable" governments will probably set rules on minimum distances, flight trajectories and what not. Any space station that poses a threat, probably could be shot down. And of course, the US has at least one kind of autonomous space plane that could maybe be used as a "towing truck" to do controlled re-orbiting, or ejecting a station out into open space.

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of considering a home power solution that can carry the load of a home out here in Africa. After doing all the calculations, I've seen that the most appropriate generic solar system would consist of: -3.5 kva inverter -8x 325W panels -4x 200ah batteries This combined system would produce: 325W * 8 panel = 2600. *.8 Efficiency = 2080/hr * (6 hr sun) = 12480W per day This combined system would cost $3,400. I think the Batteries and inverter are straightforward either way to store energy, switch between the unreliable grid + steady custom solution, and deliver up to 3.5kva which is well above the total load. But I'd like to know if there is an alternative method I can use to produce the 12,500W per day. Solar is renewable and reliable, but the panels make up the bulk of the cost. Anyone have ideas on producing a 12,500W per day in a clean, safe, reliable, renewable way, that is cheaper than the solar method I've outlined above? (edited)

Solar is probably the best bet ubless you have good wind, could probably build 3-4 windmills with old electric motors and some scrap, not nearly as simple as panels though

On the note of biomass, OSE has a stove design with a water heater as well as "Thermo-Electric Module" which can make some power. For gassifiers, OSE has a charcoal gasifier design
2:14 AM
Also "Anerobic Digestion" of food waste yields "Biogas" which is essentially methane+water vaport+hydrogen sulphide. This can be used like "natural gas / shale gas" or like propane/lpg For cooking or in generators

Also can be done with animal/human waste

And that's all the pitfalls, without even getting into the legality of making negative statements about companies (negative advertising is not allowed in SA. A competing product may not be overtly identified in any advertising, although some firms have found creative ways around it,) and creating false impressions by saying things that are technically true, but irrelevant. "Eight out of ten women agreed this is better" (In one of a hundred surveys, each with exactly ten women in it, with the alternative "products" or methods not identified.) That's why most modern advertising is "soft sell" and not "hard sell." In other words, it contains virtually no quantitative statements at all. It's all "emotional." Then: What about government control of entertainment? Should the military charge money for participating in movies? (Taxpayers' money being used to promote a death machine.) What about journalists expressing opinions? It goes on and on...

You say something negative but true about a company, they will sue you so fast, your head will spin... 😳 😓

I will probably not have grid power on the land, but it is really not a problem to generate whatever power we will need. I already have a decent size solar system there and a wind turbine, and scaling up to whatever we need should be no problem. We can use inexpensive used solar panels that work quite well because we don't have to pass inspection for a grid tie system.

I guess I should try that test ... I have a couple of pieces of land and I imagine the soil is probably quite different in different places around here - I live in Joshua Tree, it is a desert. Lots of sand around here.

"Pyrolysis Oil"
6:48 AM
you essentially heat up plastic and/or biomass in an inert atmosphere and get it to thermally break down
6:48 AM
this usually gives you a crude oil of sorts, as well as some syngas and gaseous hydrocarbons
6:48 AM
It's neat because you can get bio-crude oil, BUT
6:49 AM
it is:
  • acidic
  • carcinogenic (probably)
  • bad for the enviroment (if spilled) (probably)

So i finally did something "hands on" for once (in a long while) So we had a campfire "cookout" last night Today i took the ash/char mixture and added it to 500ml of tap water I took a ph test of the tap water beforehand as well then I'm going to try filtering out all the char/unsoluable minerals via a coffee filter and/or "cheesecloth" Then i'm going to try and get some ultra pure sodium/potassium hydroxide from the remaining liquid I'm massing it at all steps (granted with a 1 or 2 decimal kitchen scale, so not TOO scientific) (Also the ph test is simply liquid color change, and not a "hard number", and they are old af aquarium ones) I am taking pictures as well, with a "good exposure" then also with a flash for consistent lighting for digital analysis i guess? I'm probably going to dump the data + in depth details on a wiki page on this rather than clog this chat up with data/images, but i'll keep you posted!

Multi-unit buldings with a parking lot (and sometimes small closets, and ac units) underneath for a floor or two

that combined with stormwater managment (plus a good sand dune) works well
6:28 PM
One beach had a really neat "wash station" on that boardwalk to the beach so all the sand would remain on the dune rather than get tracked to your car etc which was cool

then inject that into whatever cavity, and have like a filter at another "suction site" to remove excess water or something

What intests me is this would increase oxygen in the atmosphere right

The worst was using matches as they could get "blown out" by the gas flow
11:35 PM
then you have this gas aura around the light while you are sitting there trying to get a match to work
11:36 PM
well ventilated spaces are fine though as turning the valve off and waiting for a while then trying again was safe

First of documentation of that (as well as in person stuff) is kind of bad (at least from what i have seen) SO "hard numbers" are rough.

HTC has made the pro-consumer move of partnering with popular DIY repair website iFixit to offer replacement parts, repair guides, and more for out-of-warranty headsets. The move contrasts with one of the company’s major competitors, Oculus, which has opted to quickly discontinue older headsets with little recourse for out-of-warranty DIY repair...

Night shift stockers are a special breed, I did it for about 6 months part time a few years ago, incredible to see how fast they can get stuff out and how much effort they put into making the (small chain grocery store) shelves look great before 7am. Constantly stocking requires special insurance too, having employees moving pallets around customers and stuff. We are lucky to have the supply chains we do

Phytoliths (from Greek, "plant stone") are rigid, microscopic structures made of silica, found in some plant tissues and persisting after the decay of the plant.

Jumping to sci-fi levels of a viewpoint here, but regarding the problem of over-mining(or other related deterioration/loss) of nearby planets, moons, etc: (Sticking with Mining example for simplicity) Perhaps we can try to look at it long term, and basically set ourselves limits for each object we plan to mine, in order to prevent a great "drought" of sorts of all materials in our vicinity. So we find a somewhat local object, and though we could mine 100% of it, we max out at 15% or something until we expand our reach in general.

@DiggnDeeper - from what I see, it should be OS & portable and preferably building on something existing - not much fan anymore of oldschool PHP (MediaWiki) but at least it's actively supported/developed. Currently, Wikifactory (https://wikifactory.com/?section=community) shines with an easy going way to deploy projects and content - unfortunately - freemium/non-OS.

Hey Eric, it was me. I was suggesting that NextCloud along with Element(another recommendation from someone else) would be a good solution to replace the video and picture hosting/collaboration. Element would fill the space fore instant/ad-hoc communication.

Looking at the big set backs we've experienced with big cloud providers or just rouge admins or mods as in PP, I am also all in for light OS solutions. Looking at MediaWiki, it doesnt take much to pimp the interface - as long one can ditch storage provider on the go - all fine with me. For video or large files - there is also GIT LFS - supported by 'gitea' using it excessively since long) - doing downsizing for mobile became also a piece of cake... I had a good experience with building all on file based systems stored in GIT repos (favouring Markdown & extensions), using simple to edit files and folders - compiled for multiple deployment targets using pretty simple to do CLI tools. Okeey, great to see you guys jumping at this 🙂 See you in a bit. (edited)

Also on the authentication side it seems we can have SSO; - Discourse already provides a long list of social media sign-on as well an extensive user model (ACL & trust points). Ok, I think I am all set and now it's just time to get hands dirty. As for PDF compilation (manuals)- Wikimedia has a few extensions - using almighty 'Pandoc'. Possibly I may need API access to combine PreciousPlastic/PlasticHub & related OSE content into a new project called 'OSR-Plastic'.

In Joomla or Wordpress they called it CCK (Custom Content or so). That would enable to create custom forms so data can be entered a little more guided. Something like a content template for authoring.

The other thing I couldn't solve was being able to write conditional content (not templates) - anyway - I will keep trying. Great to see already import and export of pages goes flawless 🙂 (edited)

Found out about OSE some months ago, also interviewed for the position as site sourcerer. Currently visting the US in Texas (tourist status). Bit surprised, though, that Discord is used.

I've been keeping an eye on the community around Dendron, and they are making some really good progress as well regarding tools for (personal) knowledge management. So far Dendron is only available as a VSCode extension, but that already works really well in my experience. They advocate for "vaults" to store notes in a hierarchy-first format, and you can implement all kinds of clever workflows and operators to manage it all effectively. https://www.dendron.so Check out their documentation, they might have some info that you find interesting.

Ayye, do you happen to know if it has a "per-word" backlinking ability? I.e. to replace a single word or phrase inline, like a variable. Doing ![something] takes major vertical space in obsidian, I'm wondering if this has been done where it just replaces that word, phrase or paragraph without any newlines or anything. Bonus points if I could "load in a profile" and change all of those based on some selection xP
Avatar
Not sure what you mean, can you explain that a bit more? The backlinks in dendron are formatted as [[description|link to file or url]] and it automatically refreshes all backlinks to a file in the vault if you move that file with the dedicated operator functions in dendron. If you look at those backlinks in the markdown preview it just makes the description clickable in line with the text, and if you hover over it you get a small preview window with the title and first sentence or two. Is that what you are looking for? (edited)

Oh yes that's no problem at all in Dendron, you can choose between the standard markdown [description](link) or the dedicated backlink format [[description|link]]. Both look exactly the same, as you would like in line with the text (just a clickable part of the text), but the latter format has some additional functionalities (like automatic updating when you move a backlinked note).
10:52 AM
The profile-based loading is probably a bit trickier, but it might be doable if you use an intermediate node to direct incoming traffic. Not sure how that would be implemented exactly to content-check profiles on click-through but it might be possible, or you can always go on their discord to discuss it with the devs directly.

Nohbdy Ahtall 6/11/2021 10:54 AM
Ahaa thank youu. Okay so the "description" can actually be a segment of content within the "link" itself?

As far as I know the 'description' can be any text string without dependencies to the linked content, but the backlinks support a small window that shows the title and first lines of the linked note. Apparently there are ways to add functional elements to the frontmatter that could give you some more creative freedom in that.

In all honesty it may be a pipe dream - if anything I want there to be a super-modular "concept" of the cube(containing all the data, behavior, maybe names of the materials etc), and then a module that uses that more directly (i.e. a 2D sprite that interfaces over that concept, with coordinates or whatever to actually make it useful as an in-game object). As of this very moment though, I may just plot it on out rough - but I am using this to learn how to conceptualize energy output, and to practice modularizing my code in this way(which... may be problematic in GML)

Nohbdy Ahtall 6/19/2021 1:02 AM
I'm admittedly mostly disenchanted until I can get Modules working without needing to use Visual Studio, and I do hope to touch the C world - but really only by working backwards in C++ modernity. It's more of a challenge mindset, for brain/mind exercise. Problem is I don't have as much desire to "finish something" as I do to "master coding" in general, as much as doing so might help. So, I continue, even though as a beginner, reaching into weird territory of learning, such as:
  • Super modularization/insulation, and otherwise finely-grained long-term re-usable components (aggregation over other composition methods - super loose coupling even where it doesn't make sense).
  • Habitualizing modern practices, such as seen in C++11/14/17/20/23, even if there is no reason to do so other than to "get used to the future", no matter how long their previous forms live on - even if it's not as readable!
  • Agent-based/agent-oriented programming.
  • Newcomer-oriented code, written in a way to act as a display piece for newcomers to peruse easily - from snippets to projects.
  • Mob programming, and coding in a way that supports it.

I honestly don't think colonizing mars is practical. We should be settling the moon for remote mining. Imagine working at home but remotely operating mining equipment on the moon. But I also question the developmental implications of living and growing in low gravity. Plus it'll never be terraformed. Not only do we not have the tech for it, but mars doesn't have the resources for it.

I think we should be building large, rotating rings instead. If we could make them out of organic materials like carbon fiber or polymers than we could just gas harvest from venus's atmosphere and replicate them like cells. Also, tortion and tidal force decrease as the radius of your ring increases. Meaning bigger is better for structural integrity purposes

Yet, I understand the poetic lovely entertaining uses of English, and how its vagueness is useful. I just wish we as people relied on a secondary language for minimal/zero misinterpretation. Especially on the high-end decisions on the political level... I feel like modern spoken language is unworthy there, and politicians and all who affect it should used non-ambiguous terminology. Our A.I. robotics and systems in the future will not be able to interpret our commands at all with accuracy, so much of it is individual and wayy too so-called "contextual". We will be speaking as programming languages are to tell them how to function, and I feel this will leak into normal conversation too - this highly-specific language, used for computers but adapted to commonspeak.

Language is just a tool though. It changes over time depending how people are using it. I don't think the problem is language. I think the problem is that there are too few social checks on people to favor logical conclusions. My solution to this would be a more involved political process. Like a mixed direct and representative democracy.

I myself have found that, in conversation, whole entire conversations can "make sense" and be "speakable" by both parties, even if both of them aren't actually on the same page. Even if no argument is made then, later upon scrutiny, someone will say "Well, when you said this, you obviously meant that. This in itself is huge. I've discovered, it almost is never congruent, people are just able to speak to eachother in ways that aren't definite, yet we treat them as such (and then arguments arrive if challenged - most aren't challenged). I think 4 years is fine for people in the political world. If you're in charge of a whole heaping pile of people, or a state, or a nation, or in the future a world, or a constellation.... I think prerequisite non-ambiguous language is a fine requirement! (edited)

That's because the concentration of power has increased again. And the larger each democratic riding gets, the further we move away from an actual democracy. We need bottom up checks. Like a mixed direct and representative voting system

86% of americans, including 83% of republicans agree that the war on drugs had been abject failure according to a study I read. You'd think if there was that much agreement, we'd change our policy around it. But in reality, republicans are just not representing the interests of voters anymore.
12:33 AM
Also, there should be a law against lying. There should be fact checkers that charge politicians that mislead their voters. Their word is their product, and we're sorely lacking in quality control. But no politician would ever approve of that kind of law. Which is why we need direct voting on certain issues

I actually only have science-fiction levels of political systems in mind. Earth in its current state requires... who knows how much assistance (even if we had a great system, the "transition" to it would be... something). In my mind I like to think of an autonomous space station. Everyone on board is given life-sustaining resources (i.e. No one can be "homeless" and dying from that fact, all food/water/shelter/etc resources are calculated constantly and provided to all on-board residents). They are not "forced" into servitude, but lazy people are always given at least a nutritious mush, living space, etc.. They are often incentivized, or gamified into progressing. In fact, for emergencies - say, a hull breach on the station - instead of money, points(or similar) are given to those who resolve this situation, moreso than usual(balancing techniques must be implemented to prevent purposeful malevolence for gain - a concept game devs may know too well). Otherwise, if food/water is a plenty, points are lesser in that area. If comfort is fine, less there. So, in other words, I barely agree with modern pre-determined politics and spectrums. I sometimes think I'm being "Technocratic", but that has some old flawed correspondences and etc.

I think it's fine to judge a "side" but problematic to support a "side". Again back to the flaws of language and it's ambiguity, you cannot "support' a side safely - all things are interpret-able infinitely. Any individual can taint a viewpoint, for these labels have no... standardization. Only something like Lojban for example can provide a framework of reality, because you cannot speak Lojban incorrectly, it can be parsed as a program is.

Jordan Peterson has horrible values. He opposes trans rights and racial equity because "white people should get their share too." He's confusing equality with equity. Which is ignorant. There are reasons we don't have straight pride, white history month and international men's day. Black history month, gay pride and international women's day are all acknowledging disparities. And are celebrations of our diversity. Countering that with white pride for example is like saying "we did nothing wrong but we deserve attention too."

There is nothing purely good or bad nor any individual capable of explaining a concept, especially in this flawed language in which "anything can mean anything" thanks to zero standardization(Heck, a definition can be in a dictionary - does that mean people will get it now?

I don't trust people in a natural state for political decision-making in general, even though I agree with ideas of direct democracy or basically "get everyone involved". However, people are incentivized towards money-making, not by gaining intelligence or thinking power. In my opinion, monetary gain should be replaced with intelligence-pursuit - if we really "must" have people dying from lack of resource (ridiculous, but if so) as in homelessness, then money-hoarders should be diluted in favor of intelligence-hoarders. Any individual should deserve the right for survival by trying to be "smart", not by trying to "work hard" nor "having money". I can "give money" to people and supposedly they are at a higher status... it's ridiculous.

well on that note, they're not all describing the same god. Etymologically Yahweh descends from the Semitic Ea or Enki. Who is NOT An or Uranus, which is where the holy ghost in catholisism comes from. Mitra was Hades. Enlil was Kronos. And all of these religions actually descend from a common farming religion that was distributed throughout the world during the neolithic revolution.

I need to admit I'm biased towards "Alchemy". In my opinion, the materials aspects of it are accidental. The "lead" is not physical lead, the "gold" is not physical gold - if anything it kinda sadly reflects religious ideals. However, in an energy work or magical working way, that was the intent (though yes they experimented with thought/spirit/soul combining with physical elements in some weird hybrid chemistry/magic).

Studies show that religious people are actually less generous, less kind, and less inclusive despite self-reporting more. But that's how confirmation bias works.

Disclaimer I believe in "Qi"(Chi), and that energy force which can be utilized within the body. However, I began learning weird ideas like "if you bury a coin in the East side of a tree the spirit something-something will..." etc.... and I have a problem with that. Yet, I kinda almost get it, East/West, times of day etc, they "do" have meaning sometimes... but not like that. Ultimately, for religion, I have this question: Can you guarantee that your message (i.e. prayer) is actually... reaching the entity(deity) you intend it to? As I've found, this idea of communicating beyond physicality... is not simple. You don't just think happy thoughts and they make their way to the right.... space, or time, or person. If you believe in demons, or any non-"holy" thing, you should be aware you are likely reaching them - by default - not what you intended.

Well Pliney the Elder wrote almost 2000 years ago that "all magic originates from medicine pretending to offer the promise of health." Basically that the occult is a matter of confirmation bias. He also claimed that it came from the Zoroastrians, which actually makes so much sense given the context of the Abrahamic faiths.

It takes beyond-typical emotional/mental control to..... even enact any kind of magical operation, let alone a "prayer". So, if there happens to be a paarasitic God-wanna-be-faker in out midsts, the majority of people... are feeding that entity. Rarely a religion "trains" you to do anything, they don't "exercise" you very often. I have a disposition towards magic, alchemy, and so on... because they constantly have you question yourself and prove things... in quite a scientific method kind of way, if anything. Religions tends to say "Think X and Y will come" ehhhh. (edited)

Indeed! See, after many years of wandering the idea of "magic" and so on - I found some decent resource, yet only(so far) "Franz Bardon" has proven decent enough to me in that realm. Btw, I'm Agnostic too, but I study magic, alchemy, and energy work. I am a huge fan of "I don't know", and I love that idea. So, I reaaallyl really hate "honing in" on some author or ultimate source of info, but Franz Bardon's "Initiation Into Hermetics" is like... a huge deal. It's step-by-step, in a sea of theory and whatever-ness. When it says you will experience "remote viewing" - no, you will not experience it until "after" proving to yourself that you actually witnessed a real space, not some imaginary one.

Yeahh I do admit, I'm starting to get weary of the term "Hermetics" myself. Even the "Golden Dawn" of hermetics is way to Egyptian-alized and so on.

That was also a common theme for a lot of those works. Like the Abramelin, which is a book of magic written by Abraham the Jew, passed down from his father who supposedly got it from an egpytian mage. (edited)

The lesser key of solomon also came out around that time. Although that was largely inspired by the churches malleus maleficarum itself (edited)

These secret societies are actually a relic from the roman era, who got it from the greek mysteries btw. Magic or Magoi was originally a term for people who practiced Zoroastrianism.

I can't get behind the ritualistic ideas of the Golden Dawn and such. And yes, the Hebrew view of the Kabbalah (which may/may not relate to Qaballah of Bardon's 3rd book). Some magical stuff is weirdly specific in ritual, sometimes I worry it is.... an affect to siphon energy to them?(That may be too conspiratorial, but hey, even the Eastern stuff tries to believe in an immortal personal being of some forms at the high-end of training). Anyways, I am a fan of Bardon's stuff because it's so personal and "don't move on until you've prove you achieved the last step" sort of thing. In comparison to religion's "Move one, you totally did the thing, no need to check anything, God knows - it's all good, you'' be okay" thinking.
1:47 AM
I meant to say the Hebrew stuff is actually wonderfully cool as far as I can tell, it seems to be on the right page. The only source I have for that is:

What right page? That would suggest you've been able to reliably reproduce results

Anyways, I find Babylonian mythology more compelling. Even though I'm still a hard atheist. After the babylonian captivity, Judaism basically became heavily xenophobic and patriachial. Which kind of spoils it for me. Same with a lot of European history. Everything after the christianization of Europe bores me. I just find their ideals so immoral

Like the idea of remote viewing: Did you witness a real place in reality? Ok, go there, check if it was as you saw. It wasn't? Ok, you probably didn't do it then, that was imagination.

Totally makes sense that if someone "remote viewed" they'd think they were "astral projecting". I wouldn't judge the idea too harshly, but I do perhaps admit a difference
1:58 AM
Anything as crazy as remote viewing may as well be in the realm of godlike wtf-isms to anyone typically. At this point is why I like to fall-back on TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Qigong, Nei Gong, Nei Dan, and etc. They have a bit... idk... a bit more physicality to it all?

what remote view? It sounds like you're talking about psychic powers. I don't believe in the supernatural. I don't even think its moral too. Which goes back to my misinformation causes harm claim. Believing in these things can misdirect you and make you vulnerable to manipulation (edited)

I think it conveniences religion to not do this.

I love phylogenetics. That classification has biological implications for example. It means they have the same exoskeleton anatomy as other ecdysozoans.

I have notice alchemists, magicians, and energy workers to typically enforce a checking mechanism to all things. They don't "do" faith-based anything. I admit, "magicians" can be broad, like Witchcaft(sorry <3), where they are too lenient like "Oh you felt goodness? You did it." No! That is not, gah, I mean, in some problematic chaotic way yes you can consistently convince yourself into positivity and.... eghhh, it's not worth it, it's not safe(if you consider the mechanics of the other methods). I mean, I get it, ultimately - if you are a typical person living in modern day life, random/forced positivity, logical or not, can totally uplift your day, life others around you, and so on. If all the other "woo-woo metaphysics" exists even, you are making it happen, because damn that's some willful/precise intention. I dunno how to judge, it totally works.... in a bubble. Heck it even works against some of the worst of people. Can't work for me, I think too much. I know constant positivity will, in fact, uplift my life. I know it. Do I do it? No. I have even meditated and entered the most esoteric, strange, wtf-iest states of being.... stuff that may as well be life-changing. However, the power of the "commons" wins - it doesn't matter how cool, or how powerful that state was - it doesn't get me through day-to-day labor well(if anything it makes me want to quit all jobs ever), it is literally a barrier to common existence. To typical relationship norms, to careers, to family matters - you will(unless truly determined otherwise) succumb back to normality. It doesn't matter if you chucked a Qi-ball into a tree and set it on fire. For survival, in this day and age, you will get a job - lose that skill - and survive.

You should look up theta polymerase. We've known its an oncogene for some time but we never knew it could actually take an rna template and integrate it into the genome before. Its potentially a target for a broad range of cancers. But also its basically reverse transcriptase, which means we might not even have to pack CRISPR into an mRNA vaccine in order to modify specific genes

Im reading your paper. There are some inconsistencies in the abstract. It says humans and sea urchins form a separate clade, which would imply to me that the hydrid was with a sea urchin? Which is a deuterostome. However, humans are still descended from chordates. That's been genetically confirmed. So if they were a hybrid, we should still have all those genes.

I do admit: I believe in the idea of a "Dan Tian" - a battery of energy, of Qi, in the lower abdomen. I believe, in terms of the gland systems and such - a system typically controlled by... non-conscious systems - can be controlled by conscious systems, like your mind. The whole lowering of the heart system, the breathing. the so on, etc.... there's some kind of "line" between the possible and the impossible... in society.'

They're fuxxin' busy, with something they think is important or not, they are. I dunno, does it not make sense... that the typical lifestyle will.... limit this lifespan?

It may be reverse of the truth - but much of my life has been defying nonsensical social ideology, even as a kid. In order to survive, as in not become homeless and die (likely better situation than other countries, I'm in USA, a dumpster likely has more nutrition than a 50-mile radius than other places - even then us USA-ians have to bypass/adapt-to-the the scarey-wary "Grocery store throws out massive amounts of edible items" reality despite the "ew that's gross, guess I'll die" mindset), I've had to adapt, not-so-willingly, to social norms. Familial is default, if you have a family and expectations there, check. Friends you have from high school, they "very likely" have these typical mindsets, check. People you meet randomly, workplaces, etc, sooo typicallly... typical, check. It is hard work to attract non-conformist ideas in reality outside of the internet(and then, you have the risk of the opposide spectrum - good or bad)

"but much of my life has been defying nonsensical social ideology" Which you've been using the magic and the occult to supplement? Legit to me implies that there's something that's actually believable about this. You're talking about what 'you get" but you're not really conveying that to me. And I'm not really sure why you're talking about magic on an open source ecology discord in the first place. People turn to religion for comfort. Even if its bad for them and those belief systems cause harm. Is it possible that you're using the occult for the same reasons? You've admitted to hardship. But does believing in magic actually help? Or does it just post pone the problem. My dad often makes arguments that religion "helps" people. If it makes them feel good, that's all that matters. My mum on the other hand is an anti vaxxer and has wealth of "ideas." Its exhausting. Even he has to admit that not allowing gluten in the house or being able to use paper or paper towel is disruptive rather than helpful. Her "solutions" aren't solving anything. They're just making up for the fact that she felt powerless throughout her childhood and then in the military, so now she radiates the whole house with Rife machine energy and wonders why she can't sleep when there's an inaudible buzzing going on in the background at all times. When you base your beliefs on confirmation bias you can conclude anything. Literally anything. Basing your feelings on more feelings turns your conclusions into an arbitrary game of telephone where your end results no longer reflect your reasons for coming to that conclusion. So to sum up, no magical training appears legit to me. Both the terms "appear" and "legit" imply you have reasons for thinking those things. Reasons that precede interpretation. But you're not saying them. No theist or magical believer ever does. And if they did they probably wouldn't believe this stuff in the first place.

This may be a difficult one, but heck, if we even made an adequate humanoid robot that can pretty much do everything physically we can do - then just the "telerobotics" alone could be huge. From your home you could login to a mining site, or into the space station, or etc. Ultimately specialized robotics would still be better, but it's interesting that this alone can act as a sort of "adapter". At least, any job someone would say "A robot can't do"... well... I mean I think they mean automation/A.I. but this is just remote working to the extreme.

I do also like the idea of multiple people being logged in to one. For certain jobs at least. Like say, perhaps a police officer deserves more "eyes" on the task(or at least, a specialist team comes aboard depending on how bad the situation is)

I'm very invested on the software side of things, especially of simulations and taking all of these physical ideas and having a virtual test space. Pushing on that idea further (or, perhaps lesser - by abstracting certain details out to get a bigger picture virtual space), putting them into games seems big. Or rather, game development itself. I'd say intertwining the serious part of these creations with the act of developing a game. Yet also, in programming that game using patterns or techniques that also grow your coding skills for something more embedded - or simply whatever can use code for something you're more interested, like the robotics side.

We've seen that communists states don't manage scarcity well. Look up corruption in Cuba. People feel entitled to steal from the government and in the end there's nothing left when people need it. Also, private property is a check on corruption. Wanting to abolish it eliminates the boundary between land owners and law makers. Yes business can become corrupt. But that's much better than a state official becoming corrupt and controlling everything. Communism concentrates the balance of power, making it easier to corrupt. Its snake oil in the sense that the ideals are appealing, but the accomplish the exact opposite from what they're claiming. In fact, they specifically target the working class and uneducated. It reminds me of a something Napoleon said. "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."

Well we're biologically adapted to it so unless animals are acting immorally I don't know where you would draw that line. Nature doesn't care if you kill animals for food.

Aha https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/133/how-could-using-code-released-under-cc0-infringe-on-the-authors-patents I see, and I see where that's been changed. Hmmm, seems useful, although I wonder about that likeness/personality thing. What is Mossdew Club? I'm trying to make myself a club too, for game programming, though I'm considering making it a "phyle" instead.
Feel free to use MD0 and consider the license itself MD0 too. You can remove the Mossdew Club parts entirely, or replace them. Yes I understand the revoking of your personality rights, as they're called, is unique. It's so members of Mossdew can enact characters and personalities and everything in-between, but clarify that these characters are open source that they can't come back and claim them later.
Avatar
Mossdew Club members are known as Cybercitizens, whom go out and construct Cybercivilizations. MMO games are great, but personally I've found MUDs(multi-user dungeons) to have more capabilities such as making player-owned castles or towns. We would make these towns, and attempt to have a pivotal presence in the game world, being as fictitious and "roleplaying" as much as the game requires. Some of these MUDs are big on that. Long story short, Mossdew intends to spread across these virtual landscapes, to become masterful of the game itself and to provide unique services. There is no monetary incentive, nor commitment expectations for members, and I've noticed some game development discussion here. Please, if you have a multiplayer game, let me know, we'd love to inhabit it :).

I have actually considered doing something like that, when I played Runescape or EVE Online, trying to like... come up with a system within a system. However, I usually link it back to game development in the end, trying to recruit for would-be programmers. Gah, so much could be said about that subject, and virtual worlds are definitely my thing! Yeahh like, if there was an OSE representation in EVE Online... hmmm, would be better with a game where open source can be represented I guess x.x

I would love to take a game like minecraft and adapt all my favorite 2d platform games into it. Like Heat Signature, FTL, Starbound and Star Control II. And also Sim City so you can have massive cities on planets that are basically run by the computer but you experience it from the first person perspective. Also, the server list would be the star chart itself, so when new servers became available a new star would appear on the star chart.

I was excited for the now-dead game Worlds Adrift. The technology it was using, SpatialOS, involved making servers pretty seamless for MMO scale. Their islands were hand-designed by players and they were to rise and fall (it's a floating islands, airship game). I feel like that technology could have brought us closer to that being a norm - and guhh I can't believe how much fun I had playing it, even unfinished in alpha or whatever, gahhh so good!

Honestly Worlds Adrift was the last (wasn't really Massive, but.. coulda been) I really got into, with its wild always-on PvP, true loss and having to rebuild a ship(yet, doing so and getting resources not being that annoying, and a bit skill based). I probably would enjoy a swathe of Indie MMOs, if not taken too seriously. A world, maybe even constantly refreshed as under development (or perhaps left in chaotic waste). Yeahh. If you haven't heard of Wurm Online, could be interesting. A Tale In The Desert I've wanted to check out but... costs money to even try. Uhh oooh errr, yeah idk - I wish I could just play Worlds Adrift again, as it was the only one I've been pulled to over and over. (edited)

Making such an ambitious game was always going to be a challenge and we love the game we’ve built together with our community. However, Worlds Adrift did not capture the imagination of as many people as we needed to make it commercially viable. https://www.worldsadrift.com/
The world is broken, shattered from a calamity that time has since forgot. It now falls to you to seek out and restore any lasting hope of unity. Build a ship. Rally a crew. Explore a sky of peril and wonder.
4:06 PM
I guess that using a proprietary codebase (ie SpatialOS) leads to situations where games that aren't wildly successful just die forever
4:07 PM
The same problem of games dying from lack of playerbase happens in other projects, just look at any Jason Rohrer game a year after launch
4:09 PM
Centralized servers definitely seem to exacerbate the likelyhood of game shutdown.
4:10 PM
When Fall Guys moved to season two they implemented anti-cheat for windows only, basically making the game non-functional on Linux which is sad because I wanted to keep playing
4:10 PM
Same thing with Riot games preventing their games from running on Linux
4:14 PM
Maybe World's Adrift just needed a battle royale game mode 😎
4:19 PM
Yeah but this is exactly where I see the value of open source hardware in advancing state of the art indie and AAA game dev. If developers aren't beholden to the endless grind of making money they can have the breathing room to actually make the amazing games that they are intrinsically motivated to.

other langs can be a lot more painful; Java, NodeJS and PHP for instance. Ruby is sorta good and solid replacement for all of them; just 'Go' outperforms it speed and RT size wise 🙂

Seems like Wesxdz is the C person of most recently mentioned! I myself am in C++(modern/armchair) land, and most recently+actively GML(GameMaker Studio 2 language). Though I guess this is C++ talking(I'd assume it doesn't matter), I mean, I'm a big fan of text-only games as a practice. Something like an RPG + choose-your-own-adventure. Something a bit infinite like an oveworld with random encounters, with at least a few enemy types, items, gold drop rates and experience system. Let's say all you have is: Walking around(no map needed, coordinates alone displayed perhaps), truly random encounters, gold and experience displayed, a super simple level-up system to eventually defeat your hardest enemy. Don't even have a shop yet, or anything. Now, I myself get motivated by games, because they're.. cool xP, no matter how silly. If you can find even like person to try your simple game, I think this would be huge. I'd provoke them to give ideas too, or heck even code with you(maybe two separate projects, really, initially duplicate perhaps - or have them do simple if-then stories to start). I think that fun back-and-forth motivation would be huge. (Phase 2?)I'd then build on the fun factor of the game. The levelling up and eventually slaying every encounter easily... I mean heck, make more enemies, but now consider maybe making them harder based on coordinates (further away from 0,0, maybe every +10 a new set of enemies or harder ones added to the mix). A shop at 0,0 could let you trade gold for items, or even skip the shop and just go for drop-rates and what items certain enemies drop, which then, when equipped, affect stats(even if you just have Attack and Defence... sword +1, good sword +3, better sword +7... something like that). Again, if another person is involved to try it out(better to watch them do it if possible, or switch out - hey, dying fast in this game can be great for quick games/switcheroos, adds fun and a bit of arcade-y motivation.) (edited)
6:30 AM
Just FYI I've done something like just the first (pre-Phase 2) of what I said, and at community college the very same people who only really into AAA games were trippin' out at how cool this was. Partially maybe because they knew when it was started, saw how simple it was and how fast it was to make, and just blew their minds that someone could do that. Ideas from them were flowing, and people totally wanted to do it as well. It's great to pull up the code and let them mess with a variable or something of their choosing, so they can see how quick and ridiculous all that is. Dayumn I love programming... ahah

Not really, except get a bunch of good books about as well study other people's code as well messing with 🙂 I think the more difficult part is integration, eg: writing plugins for other apps or libraries as well dealing with compilers - in particular - doing cross platform code. Choosing a good IDE also impact a lot your learning progress; I was really happy with Visual Studio and VissualAssistX; later on I moved back to Gentoo; only because I could emulate or build anything there.

Start with the why and work backwards from first principles. There are infinite learning resources on the internet (most of them will cause more harm than good) but some are better than others on different dimensions like accessibility, competence, morality, career, etc. Find the best resources for your goals and try to code something novel to you (algorithms, data structures, tools) frequently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2bXEUSAiTI https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc

typically you google 'game name github or sources' 🙂 I think you don't write games per se in C anymore - game logic, etc.. is mostly done in embeddable languages as Lua or others. What's done in C are the render, physics, network or AI engine and then 'bindings' come into play to use it on higher languages. As another path in, and also really rewarding is writing for micro-controllers (arduino, real fun stuff); there are really harsh conditions - same great like learning to drive on a real shitty car 🙂 (edited)

Using it for shredders; extruders, 3d print robots, etc... Evtl. you find it interesting to learn some of the concepts as classes, etc... If you want it a little harder, Marlin firmware (1.x branch!) for 3D printers is also great to learn from.

The closest thing to Github for hardware is quite frankly Github currently because that's where these open source projects are actually hosting their files

yeah - Github had after MS's $ significant down-times and apparently can be easily abused for cyber attacks (eg: shutting down your repos just some bozos want it so). And Gitlab, well - a little to bloated for my taste

Git and some web-UI gives you just half of the rent though; trouble starts when you need to integrate it in other systems, eg: Slack, SSO, ... Neat thing with Gitea it's really easy to extend; you just need to override (place) some override file. Anyway, will check on Radicle - we have indeed a real problem with choosing the right stack for over 2 TB of OS hardware data (edited)
Avatar
The size of hardware data is massive and Github charges $5/month/50GB (gif-lfs) which is why I think self hosting or decentralized is the only viable path long term (edited)
Avatar
-- osr-support -- 7/3/2021 8:03 PM
yup - they're still charging for it even after having shut down hundreds of our and other repos/forks, after 12 years,
  • using LFS since long - can be really troublesome when moving servers; Gitea seems to keep that also really clean
there is still https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent | no idea how it evolved but seems really neat for large binary files - well as long someone seeds it though 🙂
8:05 PM
was intending to abuse it as VFS (Virtual File System) one day ...
8:11 PM
What's really worrying indeed is that platforms as YT now indeed become the long hand for Gov./Corp. propaganda; eg: if it's not aligned with WHO's BS - authors see their content off - apparently really easy to take it down. Facebook no different; time to turn the table around though 🙂 Heard that a couple of times now on activist networks ... (edited)

Not much fun of 'serverless' and not sure it's still a thing (amazon lambda/server functions) but I remember elite coders complaining even about booting a NodeJS function on a cloud node; 'Go' (Gitea) was the preferred choice, takes literally milliseconds just ... just saying - running a decentral system won't be that easy 🙂

I do worry about productivity and information being lost in the channel labyrinth. Paul Pham has previously spoke of his personal bridging between slack and discord I think? how far off is a text repo on github that is easily searchable? With many channels comes many places to search for information and as far as I can tell there isn't a serverwide search function yet

'how far off is a text repo on github that is easily searchable?' easy, open a repo - fill it up with markdown files, pull in jekyll & the 'minimal mistakes' theme; done 🙂 it adds also basic search but also supports other search engines; and it looks great; for deep search, eg: PDFs you might need something better (elastic search has plugins)

not really - but yes; old code in CMS or Wiki systems doesn't seem to support fuzzy search or the like; that's because it actually requires a proper indexer which is a little more effort to implement in languages as PHP - as alternative they use external APIs instead

there is a search feature on matrix, which is the bridge between slack and discord. it's not integrated with the wiki search yet, but it could be. matrix is open source, and so is its REST API that it exposes for searching.

I really enjoy 3D printing and have a Prusa i3 Mk3 as my trouble-free printer. I have an AnyCubic Kossel Plus all taken apart that I might turn into a pottery bot. I would love to hear what your plans for a 3D printer are. What are the specific goals of your 3d printer? There are a lot of players in the open source 3d printing game, but there's still some room for innovative combinations. Right now, the infinite-z printers (CR-30) are really exciting for high-mix/low-volume manufacturing. I met a guy that mounted two CR-30s on a wall and the parts drop off into a bin for truly hands off batch printing. Personally I would like to see an infinite-z IDEX printer. (edited)

@Eric Lotze one thing I noticed doing support pages based on random community or own input is the need of at least adding 2 or 3 fields, eg: brief, scope, status and thus, sort of todo list. clicking on all those 'dead' or 'new' pages can be quickly tedious and thus - users (incl. your self) may loose interest in no time .... just saying; there should be some protocol or staging in place though ...

other meta fields as 'provides', 'matches', 'supports' mostly for keyword scoring are useful as well to keep tracking contextual infos intact ... makes it also lot's easier to filter 'unfinished' pages though. no idea yet how to do that in mediawiki but the 'semantic wiki' extensions seems great - (actually looking like a pita :-)) (edited)

Do you mean like make categories for pages, (as in make the very unfinished pages marked as such) and make the pages market by content + described, or do you mean on page sections?

Out of curiosity, have you guys looked into using OpenProject to do project management? If you self-host, the community edition is free. https://www.openproject.org/

Looking into it right now. I think I'll stand up a test server to just get it up and running.

At least the projects under active development could live in OpenProject. It looks like there are many other potential or dormant projects under the OSE umbrella. It may make sense to make placeholder project for those as well

There's probably a few other project management tools you guys would want to check out. Redmine is older than OpenProject but it's kind of ugly IMO. Odoo is a modular ERP that's open source. It seems pretty cumbersome to customize and self-host, and I believe the feature set is limited. It looks like Jira is free for open source project (https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request). There are dozens of options. (edited)

Trello? 🙂 Is there a rationale for choosing proprietary SaaS tooling? https://wekan.github.io/ seems to fill the same need and is open source https://alternativeto.net/software/trello/?license=opensource plenty of "OSE philosophically aligned" choices (in any case, getting ourselves to use any of these tools is the largest hurdle, in my experience; and using the collab tools well, even more difficult... worth it in the long-term, IMO)
The best open source alternative to Trello is Wekan, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 100 alternatives to...

Trello was easiest to get up and running and most people are familiar with it or have accounts. I actually stood up an Open project server but the Kanban board feature required an enterprise subscription. Wekan seems promising so we'll need to stand up a server and play around with it.

Yes, something that is easy to get using immediately. (OpenProject which resembles Jira was not). Also featuring a Kanban board which was something that was requested by most people and easiest to manipulate(Need enterprise license for OpenProject for access to this feature). Self-Hosted solutions I feel are best if you can stand up and pay for the infrastructure but there is overhead. This is really the first attempt at using a PM tool since I've been here. Using a tool that is purposed for a particular use-case saves a lot of time and overhead vs trying to manage things only in the wiki. (edited)

European lumber uses mm-based standards, with similar ranges to the US standards afaik. In my experience I have found the smooth/planed lumber in approx. 4mm under the rough-cut lumber sizes. That was always in ranges of 10-200mm thickness though, I think they take off more for larger beams. I found this discussion, the numbers given there seem reasonable to me but I would always check with a location-specific supplier before setting strict tolerances on a committed project. https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/444/what-are-framing-dimensions-like-in-the-metric-world Would it be possible to add some kind of generalised guidelines for people who want to convert designs to metric (or vice versa)? I would expect that many dimensions are not very sensitive to changes, so it could be useful to point out in documentation where those changes do deserve proper attention. Having some basic calculator tool (eg. BOM estimations given different lumber standards, critical load requirement checks...) would be awesome if that's somewhat feasible. I'm not very familiar with the OSE documentation yet but could be a fun project to look into.
I was always curious about this. In the states we have: Lumber - Comes most commonly in 2 inch (2x4,6,8,10,12,16) and 4 inch (4x4,4x6) varieties. Plywood - Almost always 4x8 feet Drywall/Plaste...

Not just OSE 😉 Not sure where it's floating but there are quite a number of systems to be considered :
  • Wiki - for resources and evtl. process documentation ; Unfortunately - mediawiki isn't my choice for the actual source content and acts rather as deployment target
  • Library/product catalog - the main site (references wiki and other systems) ; currently, in my system - that's the place where I create the content and deploy to other systems via CLI scripts or API
  • Shop - same problem as with the Wiki - comes with lot's of restrictions and thus, it's just a deployment target
  • Support : Forum and/or Instant
  • Newsletter and campaigns (another reason to have an independent format as plain Markdown files)
  • Manuals (PDFs)
  • other platforms ( as deployment targets ), eg: wikifactory, hackaday, instructable, ...
  • CRM/ERP, ...
What I am still missing here is a real good editor - mostly enabling others to drag'n drop from a pallet into well defined templates; as well a good workflow - across the entire system ...

Gwahhh yess, personal cloud! That's what I was on about once before, though admittedly with Proxmox. Was hoping to learn k8s(k3s? etc?) and orchestration stuff, but was happy with the ease of Proxmox. I also enjoyed using ZeroTier for making networking easier for me(two remote computers on your ZeroTier network is like being on local wifi, easy IP stuff), but I really wanted to get a Raspberry-Pi-like device for making Wake-on-Lan possible from afar, to keep power usage down when it didn't need to be on, but always ready to get back running.

For teaching game programming, I imagined loaning out bits of my computer to club members with "snapshots" of an OS ready-to-go with IDE installed and configured(maybe even open and ready to type in). With ample storage space, I could imagine an assortment of ready-to-go remote access snapshots, and backups for rolling back. Then hearing about "serverless computing" gave all sorts of ideas. Then HCI / Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (the idea of doing all this in one machine seems key to me) sounded whoah. But then again, "composable infrastructure" where it adaptively gives you hardware based on the pools that you have... ... gah, so much. I think all this tech is weirdly... bleeding edge, in a "not being made use of enough" kind of way. It seems very useful for OSE, and for me as well, personal projects as well as game club management, learning web stuff, learning any OS, networking... my imagination goes wild without even thinking of throwing much custom programming in there!

Avocados are terrible at pollination ! (at least naturally, may be able to do some paint brush pollenation, need to look into that)
4:06 AM
Avocados have an unusual flowering behaviour that is affected by temperature, particularly cold conditions which can impact on the level of fruit set. The following article explains the impact of temperature and the use of pollinisers and pollinators on fruit set of avocados in the South-West of Western Australia.
4:07 AM
the flowers kind of cycle between male and female function, so if wanting natural population you need to co-plant different varieties so that they can "balance each-other out" and hope for a PILE of pollenators IIRC (edited)

i'm at around 18:06 and i am getting lost in the label formatting (via code essentially in that "value" box)
7:24 AM
by doing 'insert text here' you can get the word (hence "land" )
7:25 AM
but i don't know how they got each to go to a different label for each sub-item
7:26 AM
if you leave it at this:
7:26 AM
7:26 AM
it does the sub-items (1, 2 ,3), but no name

That’s hopeful! I’ve only seen it on tv shows. Plant diseases are a real thing, so we are still training our sensitivity in recognizing and cleaning the pits and safe handling. We’ll be eating a lot more avocado s this summer, so we’ll be refining our technique. We should see roots in 2 to 8 weeks.

I think part of my case may have been the lack of biodiversity in the suburbs maybe leading to more odd diseases, but yeah they are no joke!

Yehh, I then wonder how much more efficient computers could be if instead of having components modularized as they are now, as distinct components to be combined after manufacture... they are instead loaded up like software libraries, printed all at once in a great wonder-cube of 3D space efficiency and airflow. They could share certain components, position themselves closer to things, allow AI to design this stuff as well including that generative... more-sturdy-than-humans-design alien-looking stuff(Oh: Generative Design). xP (edited)

Yeah, no - the tech is not there yet, while we can print multi layer PCBs, what you're describing is a totally different "integrated" chip design, etc. There is some work being done with RISC-V to open up the hardware chip design layer And some new GPU-like designs where each microchip can talk to each other node, to facilitate neural network training in hardware, are also being built Quantum might be fun here too :-)

Btw. reading Instagram without their shitty API blew me really away; some guys created a sort of fake mobile client (https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api) which acts like a normal user device. That's now just too tempting to create a curated community feed - easy to score btw. 🙂 <h4 style="text-align:center"> Our latest Instagram posts </h4> [%js%] return cacache.get.info(CACHE, 'vendor-instagram').then((cache)=>{ if(cache){ return cacache.get(CACHE, 'vendor-instagram').then((cached)=>{ return cached.data.toString(); }) } return instagram.images(config.instagram.user,config.instagram.token, global).then((images)=>{ images = images.slice(0, 8); images = html.container.wrap(images.map((i)=> html.container.item(html.image(i),'border:none; width:200px;max-height:200px')).join('\n')); return cacache.put(CACHE,'vendor-instagram',images).then(()=>{ return images; }) }); }); [%endjs%] But seriously - did anyone looked at instagram reels ? this makes me feel like an Neanderthal - just as on youtube top 100 - gosh - we're screwed

well, even in Solidworks you can break things same easily - just that it's relatively easy to fix, using 'mates' ( basically constraints you can stitch to edges, vertices, or whatever reference geometry). However, from what I heard this is also a rather outdated (15 years old or so) approach which is suppose to be improved in onshape & fusion - unfortunately rather useless CAD in day-to-day small to big enterprise operations 🙂 tbh, freecad didn't survive the first 10 minutes in my evaluation - ash on my head 🙂

Hypoxic air technology for fire prevention, also known as oxygen reduction system (ORS), is an active fire protection technique based on a permanent reduction of the oxygen concentration in the protected rooms. Unlike traditional fire suppression systems that usually extinguish fire after it is detected, hypoxic air is able to prevent fire.

An inerting system decreases the probability of combustion of flammable materials stored in a confined space.

They seem to feed cardboard, and some sawdust (or other powder, maybe soil or some form of cement) into a 55 gallon plastic drum based mixer. They then scoop some "slurry" out with a bowl and dump it on a mesh grate to allow some of the water to drain A few seconds after they scoop that slightly dried slurry and put it into their press. The lid is locked with a bar, and the manual jack is used to apply pressure forcing water out of the holes on the side (unclear if this is the water exit/how that is done), the lid is then unlocked and the jack is raised further to allow for the blocks to be "slid off" the pressing ram. They are then put on a wooden pallet serving as a drying rack and the cycle repeats. (edited)
2:19 AM
So around 3:00 minutes for 6 bricks, leaving out mixing / material moving pre and post machine, That is 120 bricks/hour (if my math is correct) (edited)
2:21 AM
(best watched at 0.25 speed imo)
2:25 AM
Supposedly 6-10 bricks per minute, granted coil and cement will probably preform different than paper-water slurry, but rough comparison i guess
2:26 AM
Also more porosity mas be desired for flammability etc, meaning that less pressure may be needed, but how this effects the time per cycle has yet to be seen

in my frame of reference the dog robot is very effective over rough terrain, that's the ideal, with so many points of motion it's a superior platform to anything on wheels

seems like if your 3d printed parts have the right infill characterists, and everything is floating on bearings, there is good repeatability of coordinates

yeah, relativity space has also done a bunch of the heavy lifting on simulated warping on metal 3d printed parts wire-fed/SLS powder they have to simulate the entire part, print the part warped, then cool according to simulated heat cycles, in order to get a part with finish accuracy and the right material characteristics. Basically have to do metal until fiber reinforced nylon hits economies of scale

Yeah metal 3d printing is hell which is why i think casting is a better fit for now, and with 3D Printing of the things you use to make the hollow cavities in the mold, you don't have to worry about tooling much

Well you could have high precision without ballscrew

But you will need to have enough force

Or you could use high speeds (compensate for vibrations) and lower force loads

you could just machine the T-Slots into those square beams i guess post cooling / planing to dimentions

@JoMXL - what do you want to do actually? there are number of low cost SBCs (single board computer) : https://www.electromaker.io/blog/article/best-single-board-computers (edited)
Thanks, that's a really useful reference. I don't have any superspecific requirements yet, but I've been looking into affordable alternatives for a portable computer, ideally more robust and repairable than conventional laptops. If it can run a simple linux distro to browse the web, maintain some code with a lightweight editor and manage some digital archives that would be enough. In the longer term I would love to have a simple mobile setup from which I can deploy small server nodes for farms or other communities and tinker with some microcontrollers for small automation projects.

I started reading up on this after seeing Evan Meaney's "crash recovery device build" (https://evanmeaney.com/_recpi.html), seems like a good platform to experiment with all kinds of hardware and networking protocols. Not so much for doomsday prepping purposes, but I think it has potential for computing devices in places where conventional laptops don't live very long.
10:36 PM
And it would be cool to experiment with reproducible devices running something accessible like Endless OS when reaching out to people who are new to digital devices (https://endlessos.com)

3D Robot Right now this robot is the primary objective. We are working on getting a working prototype of this robot very soon. Right out of the box the robot will be able to print on a acceptable surface and machine materials especially sheets and will be able to move the things around using a connect as well as switch tool heads and refill automatically. The rest (and there is a lot), will come later and we will work tirelessly to integrate it into the robot.

So with this very ambitious list of requirements What are you most intimidated by, that is, what is giving you the most trouble? I imagine arm rigidity, repeatability, and precision are things you're intimidated by? @yfgame How are you feeling about programming the controllers for the system? How many axis's of rotation is the minimum required for the arms to achieve the desired result? What is the holding power of the servos for intended use? Have you considered the amount force required for milling operations? what about a drill into a 2x4? Do you imagine the robot will be able to sink naills with a hammer or have the ability to hold the kick of a nailgun?

well
12:36 AM
depends on your RPM
12:37 AM
would not waste my time with a plastic turbine unless your bearing constraints were high
12:37 AM
like the laser sintered metal part would need a couple kisses with a lathe for bearing seats anyway
12:37 AM
but plastic in my mind for turbines is just a no no

Plastics handle low Temps well They just become brittle but ultimate strength actually increases
12:38 AM
They become like glass

What I plan on doing is printing a few turbines and using DC motors to spin them up Try to get as much compression as I can and expand it and see how much cooling can I get in the end
1:04 AM
So basically a turbines based fridge Depending on the results will see what to do next.....

Hmm Thinking of using this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:76369 Will try to scale it to be slightly bigger as my dc motor goes only to 20,000 rpm and not 60k Will maybe try to get and see how much pressure it can generate
Turbines have awesome power in a small package. This one spins up to 60,000 rpm using the airflow of a standard vacuum cleaner, sounds like a 747 taking off, produces amazing power, and sucks up its own dust! This is an opportunity for someone to make a successful product. I have no commercial interest, and would be delighted if anybody develo...

Well I hooked up the plastic turbine to my drone motor Let's see if I can generate any kind of pressure

I made some stuff off of that other DIY / OS Liquid Nitrogen Generator Design
1:14 AM
They used a Pressure Swing Adsorbtion (PSA) system to generate the high purity nitrogen, then did the compression + cooling + depressurization in a special nozzle method
1:14 AM
Cryocoolers are neat and a great option
1:14 AM
(stacks of) Peltier modules are inexpensive and easy but inefficnent as hell
1:16 AM
I'd love to look into actual Liquid Air Distillation more, as that is how you get a lot of the more fancy stuff (argon, xenon, etc) GRANTED I wonder if multi-stage PSA is more sensible: ie Nitrogen PSA, then an Oxygen Stage leaving behind trace gasses?
1:16 AM
Also CO2 separated out can be made into dry ice, i was looking into that process too recently
1:16 AM
Seems like you make the "snow" via the valve, then compress it into blocks/pellets
Avatar
Hmmm Am not sure do you have any links? I don't see the point of using PSA before liquefaction since once air is a liquid you can separate the gasses then and more effectively too.
2:53 AM
I am trying to play around with 3d printed turbines right now for this process But to be honest I have no idea what I am doing and if I will get anywhere at all.
2:55 AM
Actually here is a great video by Scott Manley on this very process (or the general idea anyways) https://odysee.com/@ScottManley:5/how-hypersonic-wind-tunnels-recreate:7 Similar sets of tricks can be used to make very efficient gas liquifiers, including liquid air and liquid hydrogen. So pretty cool! We will see if anything happens though (edited)

Although I think axial motors would be better for a start and switched reluctance as well

So that you drop the permanent magnet.

okay so initial results on my turbines are all negative. Things that have to be improved: Either the speed or the diameter have to be increased a lot to generate real pressure tolerance and balance to handle better. But it is amazing how one can make these little parts at home, I think there is potential here! Definitely will keep on looking in my free time (not very much of it through)

One small comment though (feel free to dismiss it), why the Discord/Twitter/Facebook stack? To me, it feels kind of contradictory with OSE's vision. On the one hand, OSE promotes openness, DIY and replication but these services are closed, walled gardens 🤔 (edited)
I agree 100%. From a stance of Openness it is bad. The Facebook bit especially!
6:19 PM
ALTHOUGH
6:22 PM
It can also be viewed from the pragmatic stance in that if we only used FLOSS tools for communication / outreach (for now), we would lock ourselves into a bit of an echo chamber, and not reach anyone new
6:23 PM
On this note, #collaboration-and-social-media-software-stuff is a channel dedicated to development of such software i guess
6:24 PM
I think discord, and YouTube are probably a must, at least for now (ALTHOUGH uploads can also go on wiki and maybe some other streaming service than YouTube)
6:25 PM
In my Opinion at least, we could do away with the Facebook

Hello, looking forward to getting involved with OSE which I recently discovered 😄 For now, I'm going through the wiki trying to make sense of the vast amount of information. Hopefully over time things will make more sense to me and there'll be other times for guided learning that I can apply for 💪
On this note the wiki is a bit of a labyrinth at times, so sorry for that!

Same... I don't have an account in any of those services and I created this Discord one just to get closer to OSE 😄 On the pragmatic argument, I get it but the very same OSE project wouldn't exist if we applied that to everything 😛

Awesome, good to know! If you ever need any help re. IT infrastructure feel free to reach out, happy to help.

Exciting! I don’t know what all the “main site” “Factor E Farm” has networking wise but i can find those pages later for you. Also there was this group “Open Network Foundation” that was trying to make a sort of decentralized ISP, but that may have died off (i do think I documented their work on a wiki page though) There were some videos in my feed on some similar group too

On lunch break now-ish, and not at my desk at home so I can’t do my usual link spamming / sorcery! I’ll could try and get on here sometime (probably Friday+ since i get tired) Also have you made a wiki account yet? It’s good for being able to make/edit pages, or even just comment in the “talks” section Not critical but may be good to do I think all it requires really is for @Marcin to check a box.

I’m not the best person to ask i guess. I don’t know how regular they are. For a while there, there were regular development team ones, then there has been in-person stuff with virtual meetings recently (see #summer-x-2021 ) Also Marcin’s channel tends to have a video backup of meetings, so those can be worth a watch (and can be watched at 2x speed! )

6:40 PM
Wednesdays at some odd central USA time standard i think, i made a page on it somewhere
6:40 PM
*was what they were then
6:42 PM
Also it’s chaotic especially when i come in and make a pile of mostly unrelated edits/pages, but the “Recently Changed” page for OSE Wiki can kind of keep you in the loop as to what is being worked on currently a bit I have that page (with the “view last 500 edits” setting) bookmarked in my chrome browser so that may be of use
6:44 PM
Granted some of the work can also occur on those Google Slides based “working documents” which doesn’t show up as a wiki edit (Some way to transcribe these edits, or perhaps reupload a backup of the slides file in OpenOffice format would be a good bot)

I agree but even as a matrix (open source chat) fan, it is harder to use and doesn’t attract as many users. I believe OSE wants to get its message out to as many people as possible. For example, even if we bridged to matrix, you found us thru Discord after all 🙂

Funny I am working on a robot that may be able to help with that. But in the short run there should be some opensource inventory management systems that should help out. It is a basic database, then you could also add a Raspberry Pi and a camera at reception so that you could always have a pic and discription in the database, and it should be searchable too. So that would be nice.

Regarding space, my thought is that the technology required to make spacecraft habitable is extremely self-sufficient, and strong to the elements. I say it'd lead us to start building homes and buildings to the same degree of hardiness and self-sufficiency. This plus the energy systems needed to make it work would also mean dense energy storage and harvesting, leading to more self sufficiency, and all of this being more ecological. More buildings resisting damage, wear, repair, and disaster means less waste. Less people dying means less waste, as well as longer lifespans for people to gain more knowledge and innovate ideas for more green tech. A small-scale space solar array beaming down energy to Earth alone could remove a bunch of harmful energy generating methods.
7:19 PM
I'd also assume more computerized and high tech interfaces for all aspects of life, including in the home. Tracking and managing abilities alone, and all the sensors keeping things transparent and adaptable means ooh la la amounts of green tech and, yep, less waste. The extreme recycling required of space habitats as well would do well down here. Can't forget the numerous precision work to be done in space too, thanks to lack of gravity, magnetic field, etc. Printable organs, numerous research paths to be re-tested for accuracy or tested for the first time ever.
7:21 PM
If those in control on Earth don't follow the path of self-sufficiency that is obvious on-board space constructs... well it will remain a constant global reminder of how well-made something truly can be, and push for further questioning of people as to "why aren't we doing that here on the ground".

Please use a password manager such as Bitwarden. It's open source, its code has been audited for security vulnerabilities and its free version lets you do a whole lot of things.

Bitwarden still relies on the browser, as a browser extension. I'd not recommend to add just another attack surface 🙂 There's plenty reports and exploits, https://hackerone.com/bitwarden?type=team
The Bitwarden Vulnerability Disclosure Program enlists the help of the hacker community at HackerOne to make Bitwarden more secure. HackerOne is the #1 hacker-powered security platform, helping organizations find and fix critical vulnerabilities before they can be criminally exploited.

there's no true airgapped setup if you plug in your USB in an internet-connected computer though. my recommendation is don't get too paranoid but use something that is end to end encrypted, which can't be read by anyone else but you.

actually trying to grow from seeds doesnt sound like a good idea. from https://lewisbamboo.com/pages/how-bamboo-grows... "Use a plant and not seeds! Temperate bamboo typically seeds on 75-year cycles and the viability of the seeds are very short. If true seeds can be sourced, they are typically not viable and an ill advised use of time and funds."

Soak for three days, then plant. The 75 year cycle is when mature plants release new seeds, which provide the only genetic variation. The websites right, growing from cuttings is easier and results in a clone, which is kinda cool

Yes Bamboo and hemp are probably the two fastest growing plants. Hemp is used in certain reinforced plastics as it also has a good tensile strength. While bamboo has a compressive strength, but is not predictable shape.

Yes sure I think the BMW i3 or something was meant to be made out of hemp fibers (plastic reinforced), the idea there was that it was more "natural", but I think later they changed it to glass or carbon fiber and then they discontinued the car, Not so sure what the story there was.

Rayon is a synthetic fiber, made from natural sources of regenerated cellulose, such as wood and related agricultural products. It has the same molecular structure as cellulose. Viscose can be used as synonym for rayon. Many types and grades of viscose fibers and films exist. Some imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool...
3:28 AM
Kind of general summary

But yeah you take any cellulose (cardboard/paper recycling, wood chips, bamboo, etc), make it to "pulp" standards, dissolve it in one of the solvents, then somehow reverse that in a controlled manner

Hi everyone, if you were part of SummerX 2021 (Or even if you weren’t!), I invite you to contribute to one of OSE’s key SummerX interns. Ken worked diligently every day on a 3D Printer business that was a test-run of one of OSE’s main goals - to facilitate entrepreneurship. Because funded lives yield great innovations. His family supported him in this endeavor at a cost. As friends of OSE’s mission (which Ken was directly furthering!) I’d like to invite you to reciprocate that support. You can do so here: https://gogetfunding.com/please-help-salma-get-a-degree/

This is specifically for his daughter’s tuition for her last year of business school. Ken’s family’s plan was that he could stay for the entirety of SummerX and there would also be enough for tuition, but it didn’t quite work out that way due to a few factors. I feel that Ken’s work furthered a direct goal of OSE that I will benefit from in the future, and I’d like to help him recover that financial loss.

I don't know if OSE qualifies specifically, but if we can work out how to go about doing it, and "Get all our ducks in a row" on time that would be HUGE

Jumping into this convo without context, but if a grant is being written for OSE and more writers are needed, I enjoy editing & collaborating on grants

Hey everyone, feeling a bit lost in this discord! I'm from Switzerland, not much time to get into OSE as of now, and too far to participate in workshops/apprenticeships (and I won't go to America even if I could...), but I am really a HUGE fan of the ideas in the wiki, the projects, the philosophy, it's inevitably going to be an important part of my future, anyway, happy I found this place to learn more when I can

Cool 🙂 well I'm young, currently learning strict C programming at school 42, and setting foundations to be an autonomous adult... Maybe I'll join another school to get more engineering skills (I've got EPFZ & EPFL closeby... ), or bootstrap a lab/farm with freelance work, to learn by doing, self-study with others, etc

I love School 42! Ever since I read a Wikipedia article about it many years ago. I imagined it was like a friendlier version of the game Portal. You wander into an empty building full of wonderful books and equipment, and a disembodied, benevolent robot voice prevents you from burning the whole place down or harming each other, and occasionally feeds you cake.

Yea the grading bots were brutal. People would be trying to solve their daily programming exercises right up until deadline 11:42 every night only to get rekt with every program failing for not following syntax conventions lol super intense but most fun learning experience I’ve ever had.

there's been update to the learning system, no pressure to finish a project in a day (no deadlines at all) as before, so not the same dynamic as earlier versions. But we were rushing tho. The harsh syntax conventions, and the wide range of possible bugs (lots of weird test inputs) get you to be super rigorous, useful skill

FIRST OFF @Deleted User (Granted if you are who i think you are, you have changed your name ~3 times, so idk what to call you at this point) I haven't dived into them too deep, but your designs are good from what i have seen. HOWEVER your general toxicity (and full on sketchier interactions shit i have yet to dive into) are severely impacting our abilities to work with you, and again if you are who i think you are this is a recurring pattern. I don't want your good work to essentially go to waste due to you making enemies of everyone around you. Seccondly, i think it would help us all if you calmly and clearly explain whatever beef you have with the other people/groups. All the interactions i've had / my understanding "walking away from the discussion" isn't much due to the slew of insults + back and fourth mess If you want solutions we need productive discourse, not a flamewar. Third The sayings "If you dug yourself into a hole and are stuck, you need to put away the shovel" and "For every rule, there's a person" are very relevant right now NOW I need to dive into this shitshow i just walked into at 00:37 and try and defuse it like some EOD Tech

Here a list of interesting things which happens, in case you worked for years in a niche, and get under the bus, by folks abusing and tyrannizing the thing you and your collaborators worked for
  • many many months to work out a new product palette, brand, content strategy
  • with zero income, your workforce is basically gone, often friends, unpaid - I should emphasize that it takes easily 6 months to get somebody into that trade, no matter the background or skills, there are just to many details
  • other than rebuilding a brand, under hostile conditions as rolling in law suits and damage claims or your, your partners, and your clients entirely destroyed reputation,... there is much to learn and spend, SEO is no joke. SEO/SERP includes nowadays also lot's other things : image meta, micro-data, Google merchant center, your shop, your site, your knowledge database, .....Luckily, with 30 years in the field, that's easy for me but still, for everyone else - this is a fortune to be paid and spend - near impossible
  • all acquired knowledge about the services you added to the system render quickly useless since you just can't pay them anymore, to run a business - there are easily a dozen services involved, let it be booking, accountancy, stock images, subscriptions for research, content, easily one thousand a month

  • consider your self check mate and knocked out for months, accompanied by sleepless nights, especially if you feel responsible and impacted for the losses and hard consequences for your clients - this swaps over to your beloved ones next to you, it's spiral hard to come over - in our case, people suicide for much less
  • in case of health care financial problems, consider your self fucked as well - could be deadly
  • don't try to pull off stunts, running double shifts just makes it worst - it's near impossible to fix any of the above problems - best is to get far away from all, file bankruptcy - if you're lucky and you have a limited company, if you're selfemployed, they will go after your forever, unless you leave the country and rebuild it with a new name - be aware that the mafia still goes after you and your buddies. @zelbot - congrats | was wondering what other contributions you ever added 🙂

Btw. the new library getting shape, https://osr-plastic.org/library/ | still using Jekyll, using a custom language to multi publish content to other platforms as forum or manuals, ... I had a look at OSE wiki but no idea what's mature, completed or in progress tho - for now I am trying to link it just via API, well - and I hope Algolia can correlate the data a bit ... However, was wondering to spin up some documentation about the min. software and service stack a small business or individual should have in place. There's quite some stuff I came a long, rebooting a crashed 'business'. Most exciting thing I figured is the semantic web which boosts your SEO in relative short time, https://crystallize.com/blog/semantic-web-with-structured-data. Another reason to have full control over your content 😉

Last not but least, having now figured at high expense that OpenSource can be easily suicidal, we're now looking at completely outsourcing production. Apparently, you can hand over even unfinished/incomplete designs to real manufacturers who re-do it with local means, from A-Z - providing you with ERP to track distribution and sales. Really, exciting stuff - let's see we can beat China 😮

Well, if you could(you probably are) contribute towards progress of humankind, would you be aiming for a different theme of the future? Working within expectations of capitalism and/or gradualism/incrementalism mostly? Apocalyptic setting?(I'd still aim Solarpunk in that one, unless it's like.. lava-world haha, then high-tech survivalism at any cost may win out) My longest-term future aims are well beyond lifespans, space-faring extreme, autonomous space stations etc. For Earth-bound/-centric short/middle-term though, this seems worthy to me.

Siding by on this one, earth bound makes a lot more sense than the technocrat's visions (see Zeitgeist). This has been well explored in Perry Rhodan (https://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=149559). Not even sure whether we're meant for more than hunting, lots of physical work, etc 😉

I can't get behind purely-Earthbound without a great evacuation system for literally Earth-shattering events that have nothing to do with what we do as humans (other than the act of not building for these events), i.e. asteroids, solar flares, insert numerous perhaps-not-even-discovered cosmic events. Physical work of anything but purely in voluntaryism... whew, employment should be outlawed. In that sense, I'll take Earth-bound + physical-work-be-gone, just for the sake of a better existence before a cosmic event occurs. Regardless, space colonization opens up a gargantuan variety of lifestyles, governing systems, economies, etc.

I'd like to build a D3D printer. I was leaning towards the D3D Universal, but the instructions for here seem to be like 90% complete. https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Universal_Build_Manual I watched the YouTube video of the Summer X group from 2021 build parts for a printer, but it didn't go into the entire build. It did show how to build the heated bed, which doesn't seem to be included in the D3D Universal build manual. Can someone point me to the no-kidding, complete D3D build manual? Does it not exist? I was hoping to build my own and flesh out/improve what currently exists on the wiki, but I need to be able to find enough instruction to build my own in the first place. Thanks much.

Well, I found the latest page here https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Universal_v20.07. I was thrown off track by the 0% completes in the Development Template. It does show the current heated bed; however, the build instructions still reference the old design. I'm hoping to piece things together from it and the YouTube video.

Might worth it to extend this this list for it's production grade alternatives as well. Pandoc is great btw. (MD->Mediawiki works 'almost' flawless).

Peer to Peer Foundation / P2PF : https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/ --- @Eric Lotze How much of this have you explored? I usually only end up on the "Phyles" page most often, but I feel I may start exploring. Gaining more interest in communal, peer-to-peer, and plenty of what OSE might handle - but of course, the knowledge side: storing it, accessing it, curating it, sifting through it, and so on. So phew, maybe now is the time I'll finally somewhat think really about wiki-participation, or something. Certainly can't be, probably never will be, in a workshop, with anyone, ever hah(Maybe Virtual with simulations galore, forget the Metaverse specifically though, do whatever is open source and such only, IMO, don't even let it build without strong open/libre competition - social domain licenses?).

Sorry for being so damn late on the reply for this! Let me dig into this and see what the pages look like; i know half the time some of those pages don't even interlink/get put into categories so unless you use the search engine (which is horrible; unless someone makes a redirect, looking up "3d printer filament" will not SHOW, let alone lead you to "3d printer filaments" etc
Thanks, @Eric Lotze ! I'm working on some printer upgrades for my 10+ year old MendelMax before I try to tackle the prints, but I'm getting close. I was visiting my dad a couple weeks ago, and he welded the coupling nut onto the steel plate for the new heated bed design. Now I need to source the halogen bulb and the rest of the items. Hopefully won't need to make any substitutions with the current supply chain.

He has an old stick welder. It's probably older than I am, so I guess that's another win for simple designs. He farms and stick welding has done everything he's needed. You have to change out the sticks frequently, but I think (not at all an expert) that they come in a much wider variety of capabilities than a MIG welder. He's welded cast iron with it.

Ah one of those ones with just the one big dial I’d imagine lol, not fancy with features but they do get the job done…and they’re indestructible lol
9:28 PM
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) aka GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) just uses solid wire, so short of alloying maybe it can’t do too much So great for ground down clean metal
9:29 PM
Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) (love how it sounds like a bad imitation of a bird lol) is similar to GMAW but uses a hollow metal tube with stuff in the middle similar to the stuff around the metal on a welding stick
9:32 PM
It can do basically everything Stick can, but with the advantage of being spool fed (so you can run long beads without stop+starts) (Also you don’t waste that last bit of the stick, especially people who stop about 1/2-1/3 of the way through the flux and don’t burn it to the end (granted then you can kinda burn the “stinger” clamp which i totally never did) ALTHOUGH when you change spools there is a decent amount of wasted line that you have to push out with the new line so idk how that balances out)
9:34 PM
Also (at least from what I’ve learned) you can do fancier “transfer modes” with GMAW/FCAW than Stick Welding (AKA SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) by changing some parameters I think it was “Short Circuit” “Globular” and “Spray” let me check/grab a diagram
9:36 PM
9:38 PM
I only delt with Short Circuit though, and the spatter was pretty nasty and it was pretty loud.
9:39 PM
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gad) (Aka GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) ) was my favorite though. It was so clean and almost silent. Granted for that you need to practically polish the different pieces, and it requires a pile of kit, so not exactly good for middle of nowhere repairs!

I'm still out there sharing old GVCS videos - but hey a lot of those recent videos on https://www.youtube.com/user/marcinose are still great! I mean, quality whatever - the point is you got them recorded - I know you guys are focused on what matters. HWAH, so let's see... what to do what to do... I am currently on month 2 of my "break from work" and I've never been more of an activist about things, spreading words, makin' lil debates - basically all the stuff that disappears once employment returns. Does anyone know of some kind of organization that is either a remote "low-workload" part-time gig that can help me pay for the 1.3k I need to live each month? Or are there actually places I can volunteer to, remotely, to get said assistance? I'm building a list in general, even if I don't end up using it personally. Any tips would be great. Ope, maybe I'll make a wiki page gosh dang it, then we can fill it up there.
We're developing open source machines that can be made for a fraction of commercial costs, and sharing our designs on the Internet for free.
5:12 AM
Started at 8k, this month brings me to 7k. Most of my life I've lived between 0.2k-0.9k, but now I try to keep at least 2k as my minimum(ever since I reached there). I will be in emergency "get-a-job-no-matter-what" mode once I near 2-3k, so that means I have potentially 3-ish months to:
  • Learn some Godot, code some games maybe(lifetime passion)
  • Contribute to things like OSE, probably the wiki, iono whatever's remote and has low commitment and little room for error Month 1 gave me a great "reset" mentally, just as I'd hoped, so now I want to "work" in a different way. As I reach 3k though, I will engage in more leisure to prepare for the drudgery of employment so I don't lose all motivation to proceed while doing it.
Anything to keep me in this "mode", I feel I'm actually able to contribute to something during this sweet-spot of a window.

I'm on a roll, first GitHub Issue was also 2-3 weeks ago, and I've been otherwise participating to some semblance more often these days. Godot and its source being an inspiration, as well as the Godot Discord community being so surprisingly great(still haven't Godot'd enough). [Wiki-editing]: Anyhow now that I've experienced Obsidian and my own knowledge systems - I might have a better idea as how to assist this wiki. It's probably the most directly-useful thing I can do. [GameDev+OSE]:I will also continue to promote #ose-game (OSE-relevant/related/inspired GameDev)(Also utility tools using Game Engines like Godot[I've heard many say absolutely to Godot-as-non-game-tool. I would agree on the 'aggregate composition' node-based nature alone, plus a fiendishly amazing GDScript])

Indeed, Godot now has the "W4 Games" company, maybe just the name difference and legal separation helps - what's the separation here? I feel like the OSE name is on-the-line. OSE I just worry about... if they're so busy building/workshopping, are they aware of the shift in even the casual American's readiness to dismantle Capitalism, employment, etc? You kinda only "see it" by having ample time to digest the current attitudes and engage in online communities; paying attention to ground-level views on human rights, and status-quo questioning - don't let 90s-00s-10s blur the current reality - there is a heaping pile of ethical folk who probably would join this OSE adventure, but erm, not paid workshops and enterprise-facing concepts. We're coming to the point where "selling", in general, is indeed heinous. It's not as obscure of a reaction anymore. Other channels: "Some More News", "Our Changing Climate", "Not Just Bikes", "F.D. Signifier", "Foreign Man in a Foreign Land", "Chill Goblin", "Intelexual Media", much more. (edited)

Truly, it probably is the model to take but it's going to hit OSE negatively in the reputation department for the right people, and provide positive reputation for the wrong people. As for games, I'm working on something like this from Licensing models to Donationware-oriented game, module, and asset creation. I'll try to keep that aspect documented - currently I discuss it mostly in Godot's server, but OSE-minded folk seem more prepared in the.. minded-ness factor. Plenty of pro-business folk there, but they're open to new ways. Hence why when I explore the work going on here; here I expected the opposite. I treat OSE as the "main hub of 'the most open' topics", it was a bit of a shock to look more deeply at the heavy emphasis on enterprise-friendly stuff - like it's becoming more of a "core focus" than I expected.

I won't be too critical to individuals though, as I personally will just have to... contribute more knowledge/perspective away from that! Mostly it's just a shame is all, but I assume if I volunteer whatever-it-is-I-can volunteer, I can assist the "not-a-fan-of-enterprise-path" side of OSE, and just hopefully just bring more help inflow of the right people, so they feel like they can do something outside of helping business-assisted growth directly.

Very likely that's going to be in the less-physical aspects. Documentation and wiki, #ose-game, #ose-media-plotting, and software & tools development.

I think enterprise is one of the only ways we can solve big hard problems at scale. Co-ops, networks, and decentralized orgs still have a long way to go, but their development could actually be facilitated if more open-source and regenerative projects had big backers (like OSE in 10 years). Support for the good things. Economics are uncertain these days, need a bunch of income to keep the good projects affloat. Would be sad to see OSE die because collaborators need to go do boring jobs to survive

It's just about being realistic. Our world works with money. If you wanna aquire assets (land, materials) and get people to work on decade-long plans, you need money to just enable that. If some of these long-term things turn out well, and many develop autonomy and self-sufficiency, shifting to another way of functioning is possible. Until then it's an illusion to think everyone can cross the bridge without money

I'm quite aware that many here believe Capitalism is not evil - we'll see how that plays out. I understood dodging it when you all began - nobody was ready and all the taboos of criticizing it were were still in full-force - I just don't think the mental landscape of people is as it once was. It seems out-of-touch to not lean more into that side. I'd not be surprised if donations could in fact outweigh whatever schemes are at play here - I'm glad it's a good training exercise for the act of manufacture but... eh. Well, I'll do what I can to prove it can be done without that belief, even early on 'pre-transitionally'. There's certainly plenty of time to design and simulate other options - no need to wait until the transition is ready in order to draw up the blueprints on those systems, too. The abstract machinations and software "machines" are quite valuable too, not just the physical. I'm surprised the machine index itself doesn't have a modular system of code to share between. I'd see it as a whole 'nother index that is worth charting and graphing for it's own sake.

If you start closing-source due to mingling with business-folk though, god forbid you don't think the deal is "good enough to risk". I have no clear indication where the "line drawn in the sand" is, how far is too far? Would you accept merging into a mega-corp to achieve your goals too? Board of directors perchance? You got revenue caps? Maybe contract yourselves to the public: declare stopping points among goals met. I hope you're right, because all this time being expended on dealing with profit-folk - we are all very much aware how much of a time sink that can be(I cannot overstate this point, at least). I can only imagine is a gargantuan chunk of time and resources to pursue this method. As fruitful as it could be, I'd almost rather have a dedicated guild of computer-only-wielders. A system built around that could empower many of these "ready-for-dismantling" folk. I'd enjoy seeing the GVCS index in "simulated to completion", and then go from there. I know learning on-the-job/from-mistakes is a major aspect right now, but I too have faith in swarms of independent, research-driven, 'computer chair sitters'. Amplified knowledgebase interface would be a must, though.

The wiki is pretty terrible to navigate. There's a treasure trove of information on the thing, but it's so hard to know what's there and what isn't. Sometimes I like to navigate to a random point on Marcin's log just to see what he'd been working on. He's touched most things on the wiki, so that's a good place to look, but it's random. You have to hope that people linked things as they went along creating pages. Does anyone know how to find all content from a user? I've seen a few interesting pages from one particular user, but without that list, I can't readily see what else they've contributed.

Just to send off a little cited blurb with that part in it. The heap of knowledge, data, and files that are included.

I am currently in a semi-high focused mode after some personal emotional scares cause me to feel a bit more dedicated in projects. I'm still thinking of #ose-game of course, especially with Godot 4.0 release coming closer, ever since their feature freeze with Beta. Where is the other chatting community located? This place is a ghost town. Please don't say IRC x.x
Avatar
@Nohbdy Ahtall I'm not sure there is one. I need to get more involved in OSE again. I was helping with documentation for the Seed Home, but not all I've been doing is very slowly sourcing parts for my D3D Universal printer build. I think there used to be an active forum on the wiki, but I don't see any messages after 2017. If you do find a booming IRC, let us know. 🙂

Ooh, why didn't I think to start reading the wiki more often from the "Mission Statement" into the "Pressing World Issues" into the "Mental Models". As usual there's great stuff in here that I haven't properly explored. I truly wish I could navigate the wiki as I could my Obsidian vault. The quick fuzzy search especially, and maps of content or Dataview(plugin) types of querying.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to import the wiki into obsidian? Is there a way to download a wiki? In what format? Isn't it in md already?

download: yes - https://github.com/macbre/nodemw process/convert : not really - you can use pandoc (pandoc -f markdown -t mediawiki INPUT.md -o OUTPUT.wiki) but it's really limited - on top, mediawiki isn't easy to parse, especially when plugins come into play - you'd need to create a md counterpart - which makes things even more messy, not mentioning syncing ..

Speaking of formats, with the rise of AI, it's getting even harder, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33052483
  • web: you'd need now structured-data to assist SEO, and more for images, video
  • CAD: there are up to 3 different docs, per part
  • Code: there are up to 6 pages, diagrams, etc.... per page or unit of code
  • Other things as docs for circuits involve even more fragmented and exotic formats
  • general purpose docs as Markdown need plenty of aids (math=latex, diagrams), another great mess
ReStructured-Text seems to be a good choice after all. I had a look at pandoc's AST format but unlikely anyone wants to write more inter-op code on that 🙂 more here, https://lord.io/text-editing-hates-you-too/

ok guys, had another look at precious plastic, osr-plastic, and OSE and realized again, after watching endless ngos plundering and literally sabotaging developing countries, fancy project pages with zero social feedback or whatsoever, per-se no real technology transfer anywhere, at least not for buzz like projects, I was aware about this stories a few decades already but can't speak of change. anyway, as mentioned, I am designing a new and general stack or hub for various projects, more a hobby thing but spotted massive overlaps among different 'target audiences' they say, maker to local industry - all struggeling with too many platforms, not serving much more than ad space, on social platforms, xD 🙂 Wikifactory near dead and lost, despite a 50m cash influx, instructables.com now in the hands of auto-desk but doing good, and precious-plastic's one-army platform going nowhere but in more tech debts, with no traction anywhere ... that leaves me with Discourse, which can stand on it's own, market place, wiki directory - additional stuff can be added pretty easily, deployment via docker. anything I missed ? was wondering to bundle just ose and osr alltogether and make it available to AI translators - DeepL became pretty good - and Google AI based voice generator may help the an-alphabets, ...

Sleeping over it, probably just a matter of time that AIs understands 3D. I am sure they feed already models with CAD libraries. There have been also rumors that CAD will go to similar approaches as in SCAD. Using design tables and formulas is already best practice for advanced Solidworks modelers, assisting in 'product configurations'. That being said, I suppose static wiki content might be replaced by flexible graphs of annotations, easy to branch off new variants. Yet to be seen that AI understands correlations and rules between different objects. Here an example of 'extrusion screw inside a barrel' 🙂 And here some experiments with Dall-E mini : https://forum.osr-plastic.org/t/dall-e-examples/8461

couldn't find much about but reducing models to 2D (as so often, is mathematically a lot easier) could be enough for many applications as object detection. for that you, you'd need only to render those objects from different sides and then feed the model. I'd love to have this as app, creating howtos, etc.. for instance.

The wiki is pretty terrible to navigate. There's a treasure trove of information on the thing, but it's so hard to know what's there and what isn't. Sometimes I like to navigate to a random point on Marcin's log just to see what he'd been working on. He's touched most things on the wiki, so that's a good place to look, but it's random. You have to hope that people linked things as they went along creating pages. Does anyone know how to find all content from a user? I've seen a few interesting pages from one particular user, but without that list, I can't readily see what else they've contributed.
Yeah i've been trying to make a pile of redirect pages/add categories to stuff to help, but yeah it can be bad

If instead of doing the search, you do the little thing that pops up below titled "contains-whatever you typed" or whatever that can help quite well (although many of the contains will just be someone dropping a term in the middle of a sentence etc lol)

we can certainly see what open source engineering can do - actually pretty clear and busy for the next years, implementing a new stack (documentation/marketplace/library/support, ...) which allows me to maintain verticals as 'PreciousPlastic', my own 'company's infrastructure, and perhaps OSE. Tech however changed a lot over the last 5 years and it became terribly fragmented. However, I believe that a good but disposable framework could indeed make a change, eg: helpful in developing countries, remove bottlenecks for talents/makers, etc... Other than software, I am trying to develop a modular kit about recycling (PP's aftermath), a great use-case - but lab/class-room grade, with enough extensibility to turn it into 'products' (dreaming 🙂 Eager to hear your thoughts, perhaps I am wrong about all that, and there are more urgent things to do ...

Mmmmm biomass, I'm a fan of Algae and Moss Bioreactors, and I've seen a large algae farm utilize used-corn-water or something, growing giant lines of the stuff. Speaking of "pollution" I assume we can make a modular "pollution sensor". I think monitoring and sensing pollutive outputs is the first step, automation can step in as long as it knows how good/bad the outputs are!

Looking for a sustainable alternative to turf grass? Consider converting to a moss lawn. The no-mow ground cover requires no fertilization and little irrigation beyond annual rainfall. Here, several gardening experts explain how to grow and care for a moss lawn.

ye - and that kinda sucks too, As for now, and probably the next 10 years - Discourse seems to be the best option (addons, VCS,...), having long-term discussions, attracting older gens, incl. decision makers, etc... got so far a decent Typescript API around Discourse, and there's plenty tooling to make changes on GIT visible there as well. Didn't hit Ruby yet but it's literally just a few weeks to rewire OSE for that
11:42 PM
other than that, media-wiki got some Nodejs interface as well, - if that is the place of choice, to present actionables 🙂

For OSE however, I'd probably opt for Gitea & Hugo & Discourse, mediawiki kinda ruined it too

Tbh because there is no objective good or evil, this is basically impossible. Moral value is determined by conditions of natural selection rather than some sort of objective immutable source. Even if one super system were to take over the world, on a long enough time horizon natural selection would act up on its subcomponents and fragmentation + dissipation would occur due to factionalization

Hello everyone! Hope I'm not too late to the party... Just recently discovered/joined the OSE discord server, but been a distant fan of OSE for a while. Quick intro; I recently moved to a country home in Yavapai county, Arizona, with the intention of eventually developing a self-sustaining homestead. I'm also quite involved with the open-source hardware (OSHW) community - in fact I've been working with a non-profit called Mach 30 (whose SME's have a background in aerospace and model-based systems engineering) developing an open framework and tooling for what software developers would consider to be a package manager specifically for distributed OSHW and hope to share it with the OSE community once we've published an initial release. Also curious as to what OSE projects are close to a documented and working prototype, if that's not too much to ask, as I'm also looking to build a kind of distributed RepRap-style fablab catered for homesteading and small-scale farming, and am willing to collaborate/contribute back to OSE where I can. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi 👋

I'm not sure how well large-scale commercial machines are able to used on a small scale, so I am interested in what the smallest/cheapest viable system for automated gardening would be
I'm currently in the process of building a geodesic greenhouse dome out of 3D printed joints for enclosing an experimental growbed + JohnsonSu compost bin, where the compost acts as a source of carbon dioxide and thermal mass for the growbeds. Geodesic because we get a lot of wind here in Chino Valley, AZ

how easy would it be to extend a geodesic dome into a geodesic sausage?

easiest method I can think of is take a geodesic dome, cut it in half, then make repeating segments

OSE is more concerned about considering openness of process rather than the final product compared to other OSH projects

OSE uses wiki templates, I think it's pretty good to standardize and link products

at the same time, it can be difficult. for example when building the D3D it contains a submodule that's on a different page as part of the build but it's difficult to figure that out 😵

What are your thoughts on migrating away from wiki templates as the project source and instead capture the source of the project data (BOMs, assembly instructions, supporting material, etc.) in a unified human and machine readable data model that can persist on the local filesystem, so that we can both version and manage the OSHW project source like a software package?

As mentioned in Mach 30's talk, I think OSHW will forever be a generation or so behind OSS until we focus less on tooling (by leveraging existing tools already used for managing software on the local filesystem) and instead collaborate on a unified approach to persisting the data needed to create/modify/use OSHW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIMT--XEZiM

yes, at the moment it's more or less like this : https://git.osr-plastic.org/osr-plastic/osr-templates/src/branch/master/product Whereby I am still trying to get 'options' (Solidworks configurations) under the same hood.

Yeah, I don't think having something like a Google sheet as the "source" for your OSHW project is the right approach. That data needs to persist on disk in a line-oriented plaintext human and machine readable data format that we can CRUD if we ever want to actually manage/maintain OSHW like OSS

Hello everyone! Hope I'm not too late to the party... Just recently discovered/joined the OSE discord server, but been a distant fan of OSE for a while. Quick intro; I recently moved to a country home in Yavapai county, Arizona, with the intention of eventually developing a self-sustaining homestead. I'm also quite involved with the open-source hardware (OSHW) community - in fact I've been working with a non-profit called Mach 30 (whose SME's have a background in aerospace and model-based systems engineering) developing an open framework and tooling for what software developers would consider to be a package manager specifically for distributed OSHW and hope to share it with the OSE community once we've published an initial release. Also curious as to what OSE projects are close to a documented and working prototype, if that's not too much to ask, as I'm also looking to build a kind of distributed RepRap-style fablab catered for homesteading and small-scale farming, and am willing to collaborate/contribute back to OSE where I can. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi 👋
Hullo! Sorry it took me forever to get around to this!

Getting the licensing all in place is perhaps what took the longest for the project I helped get certified, as you need licenses for hardware (s.a., a CERN-OHL-P), software (s.a., MIT), and documentation (s.a., CC-By-4.0). It can get particularly messy with re-certification of new release OSHW projects, especially if you're building off other existing (certified?) OSHW projects. Hence, why I'm helping develop a methodology (off which multiple tool implementers can build off of) with the Mach 30 foundation to specify how we should be persisting OSHW data (s.a., a bill of materials and assembly instructions) on the local filesystem, so we can easily branch/fork/merge OSHW (using distributed version control tools, s.a., git) as well as manage subcomponents (albeit parts or tools), with their associated licenses, as if they were npm package dependencies (re-posting message link to aforementioned methodology here https://discord.com/channels/700486873272811562/700486873272811565/1132181812534313040) (edited)

hey everyone, PyG accepted my pull request! The GVCS is now a dataset in pytorch
9:51 PM
The motivation doing this work from my perspective is the realization of the need for pathfinding tools for open hardware ecology design and implementation
9:53 PM
since people have different constraints: time, money, land/climate/natural ecosystems/civic or social systems, resources, skills, etc it is important to have a technology which can understand this and generate a personalized dynamic ecology rather than assuming a single fixed ecology
9:53 PM
imo
9:54 PM
the ecology dataset is not really complete, as it needs material/player nodes, as well as an interface for generating the procedural ecologies
9:55 PM
and then pathfinding to create the ecology efficiently and safely

If the intent is to prevent the author from patenting or trademarking their content licensed under MD0, I feel like there's nothing legally binding them from doing so; in which case, something like a Apache 2.0's explicit patent grant seems more effective, as it at least grants the user to use/modify/distribute their work without fear of potentially infringing on any associated patents (edited)

Indeed! However I believe the Owners and Affirmer will not... part may help - I the license-chooser/applier(Owner) have stated I will not even try. screwing myself over according to IP lovers :P Funnily it's Trademark that worries me most. Patents have "defensive publishing" to prevent patents - just make it exist pre-patent. Trademarks... infinitely renewable every 10 years

Since I want a large ecosystem of trademark-able content like art, characters, stories etc... I worry it can be used against the content, thus adding fear to "using it" in case you're deemed to slander or defame the trademark user should anyone use it in a "business-harming way"(which at this point could be... supporting human rights lmao - very counter-profitable!)

If the content is an open-source hardware (OSHW) project, applying for an OSHW certification with the Open-Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) may help address some trademark concerns, as the certification includes a free trademark logo that uniquely identifies the project under the auspice of OSHWA and its database of certified projects

yh, still going over it - Licenses are mostly about the author's desires how folks use their work - There has been quite a shift from GPL to ISC & BSD for real-world scenarios ( data centers, ... ), let's say, to be free from those mental stunts 🙂 For hardware however, I am stuck with CERN for now, can't say I am happy

To make things more complicated, I'd even say, we're screwed if it comes to hardware, most standards you could refer to are paid (ISO) : https://herbsutter.com/2010/03/03/where-can-you-get-the-iso-c-standard-and-what-does-open-standard-mean/, you could reference to it but that's about it; your work remains incomplete To compile documentation, you'd have to download the internet, involving 100 + packages (10GB, even for small stuff), each with their own license.

  • exclusion - there's a good chunk of people who don't see any value being on Discord (streams, content limitation, short lifecycle, no time to give a good answer, ...)

Makes sense. The fragmentation of discussion topics alone is difficult to navigate. Which kind of warrants the question, what's the alternative? I've seen a few open source communities (s.a., NASA/JPL's fprime community) thrive with just GitHub discussions - perhaps that's at least a step in the right direction?

IMO, VSCode & ecosystem has currently the best text-editing & extensibility. Discourse provides so far the best moderation & interop (API) capabilities. And Stackoverflow gives a good idea about how knowledge could be acquired (and scoped). To assist AI (even tho it's still a silly text predictor / transformer), there should be a meta database linked to every content as well (source, relevance, ...) Feels all like on square one tho 🙂 Language wise, ASCII doc looks promising but won't satisfy all needs. Still thinking about ...

self-sufficient community - sounds really tasty, made me scratch my head. Perhaps global changes are pushing folks into more collaboration, on a local level. Other than using Opensource as marketing gag, it might be probably easier to identify where OS would make most sense, eg: semi-conductor, software, Fablabs, schools, knowledge transfer. OpenHardware on the other hand is still a mystery to me but I think Marcin did a great job, adding all the reasoning, engineering, etc... on top, of just binary CAD models. Biggest obstacles as already mentioned are protocols/platforms, templates, and CAD ( FreeCAD still far from being really useful tho but it's getting there :)). And last not but least, like minded folks, sharing product grade designs tho. just thinking out loud 😉

The biggest challenge for open-source hardware (OSHW) at the moment, in my opinion, is answering the question "what is thesource of OSHW?" followed by "how do we maintain that source like open-source software (OSS)?". I've been working with a few organizations/working groups for the past couple of years to develop an approach for managing OSHW more like OSS by developing a tool-agnostic data model for how we should be persisting content (s.a., bill of materials and assembly instructions) on the local file-system in such a way that modern version control tools (s.a., git) and package management frameworks (s.a., npm/yarn) can read
Avatar
lovebird pro 12/1/2023 6:31 AM
well, in the narrow case of OSHW (electronics), things seem to be settled: tooling, guides, best practice, certification. collaboration could be improved, as well adding all the aids to get an idea to market, and market-fit tho.

as for the last part, yes - a good model / template / framework assisting in maintenance/housekeeping, structural problems would be helpful. just made my way through the basics, implementing mostly loose coupled & disposable packages 💃 (edited)
