they see us rollin, but what about pitchin and yawin?

When plen is tired, it rotates along the yawn axis.

A drawing of a small two-seater plane. The three axes of rotation are marked: Roll (along the fuselage of the plane), Pitch (along its wings) and Yaw (axis sticking out of the plane upwards). Yaw was badly changed to yawn

@joacim That's so beautiful I have tears in my eyes 🥲❤️

have you ever considered multi-colour STN-Displays? They look fantastic and make for great macro shots!

If I’m not fully mistaken this is a so called CCSTN display that doesn’t use a filter to colour the pixels, but rather an optical effect called birefringence. This display does not dim when a different voltages are applied across its pixels, but change colour! So cool and such weird tones :3

Depending on the camera and light angles used, the colours and contrast fully change

The number 42 written in a pixelated font on an emerald green grid with pink grid lines and deep blue activated pixels. There is a shine to the image

Three rectangles next to each other, one is blue, the other pale green and the third is pink. They rest on a yellow-sand coloured grid with an interesting texture. A pink bar enters the image in the bottom right corner

I love sheet metal. And I love @FreeCAD

A technical drawing of a sheet metal part. It is a bracked for mounting an RFID reader.

The flattened view is dimensioned for easily transferring the pattern onto the metal. Bend lines are also marked so all the bends will later line up precisely. On the right side, two 3D-views of the final part are shown. One of these views includes the RFID reader that this bracket is supposed to hold.

A picture of the final part with the RFID reader already attached.

@JamesAkers Well with your aspiration, I am sure wherever the live leads you, you will end up somewhere interesting.

I hope someday I manage to share some of your excitement, dedication and resiliency. I try to find somethig I can burn for. It's lovely how many inspiring people there are on the Fediverse.

Thank you for sharing your passions!

Fixed this one today. I do enjoy the warmer weather, and they were kind enough to let us eat have lunch and a drink inside when our work truck wouldn't start.
To keep the transformers out of the water, I bent this metal shield. I also put transformers on the R and the B- so they have their own transformers instead of sharing one- a little more robust. I did leave the other letters alone (except for the A and R on the more paint chipped side, I remade those). The electrodes on the "A" cant be any further apart. I really should note that on my pattern. When your working with a tracing of a tracing, its tricky. I gotta digitize these patterns.

We actually have 2, 60ma transformers powering the 4/6 letters. I put in two, 30ma transformers. The lower current is less bright, but human eyes are really bad at seeing brightness. I bet you cannot tell which R and B are dimmer than the others ;)

@JamesAkers That's a nice insight. I wish you good luck in this adventure ❤️

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.

FAZ-Meldung: "Nach Tod des Patriarchen: Industriellenfamilie Thiele zahlt vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Die Familie Thiele zahlt fast vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Der Grund: Eine Stiftung als steuergünstiges Vehikel ist zu spät fertig geworden."

"Trapping AI" – Slight Update! 🌀

Activity in the "Trapping AI" project is accelerating: in just under a month, over 26 million requests have hit our tarpit URLs 🕳️. Vast volumes of meaningless content were devoured by AI crawlers — ruthless digital leeches that relentlessly scour and pillage the web, leaving no data untouched.

In the coming days, we’ll roll out a new layer of complexity — amplifying both the intensity and offensiveness of our approach. This escalation builds on fakejpeg, a tool developed by @pengfold.

🖼️ fakejpeg generates fake JPEGs on the fly. You "train" it with a collection of existing JPEGs, and once trained, it can produce an arbitrary number of things that look like real JPEGs — perfect for feeding aggressive web crawlers junk 🗑️.

Explore fakejpeg: https://github.com/gw1urf/fakejpeg

A captured screenshot of a page generated by a tarpit (built on babble, a standalone LLM crawler-tarpit binary), deployed as part of the ongoing ‘Trapping AI’ operation — an endless stream of deterministic bollocks that traps crawlers on a single site and forces them to endlessly navigate a constantly expanding sea of pages 🌊. Each new page spawns additional layers of meaningless text and dozens of links, dragging them ever deeper into the tarpit 🕳️.

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

A person stands supporting the bottom of a huge flag being hoisted. The flag is a rainbow with eight stripes of pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo and violet.
