@schluessel @c3cat Thanks 😺

A friend is printing colorful cat ears for the #38C3 congress. Some of them even with #enby :nonbinary_flag: and #trans :trans_flag: flag colors! 😺

How many could he expect to give away …?

@c3cat

Stacks with dozens of 3D printed cat ears. Meow :3

@dena Coool :3

@Neotheta @MeiLin Meh 😿
They look awesome!

New round of Xenia stickers 🦊

A small batch of T-Shirts as well for the fastest. Order window open until 17.11. 2024. They will be shipped 18.11.

https://neotheta.fi/xenia/

Photo of a black t-shirt, it has a pentagram with Xenias head fitted in and says "N U X L I" in the outer summoning circle.

Photos of sticker sheets. They all have Xenia on them. First one is called "Trans Xenia" featuring trans flag colours and very feminine Xenias, another sheet is "Linux Xenia" where she is more of a typical linux user with green highlight colours. Third sticker is "Summon Xenia", a pentagram to summon a helpful linux daemon to convert the laptop you stick it on.

Der Swiss Python Summit hat nun einen eigenen Bahn Talk 😺

Schon ganz interessant was die da gebaut haben.

The MLT framework really does not use all available 32 cpu cores very efficiently. 😿

That despite me having enabled suitable parallelisation in Kdenlive.

Would be nice if Kdenlive could start multiple render scripts from its queue manager ...

Maybe I should just start up several instances? Or run the MLT scripts from the CLI?

Screenshot of htop, showing many threads of MLT running but not using the 32 cores to their max capabilities.

Video editing for the Swiss Python Summit.

Trimming the talk recordings and adding intro and outro slides.

All done with the awesome #kdenlive video editor.

This week I finally finished a project I've been working on for the last few weeks: A map, laser-engraved into a ca. 60x70 cm piece of plywood, showing the @spaceapi opening states of hackerspaces in central Europe using red/green LEDs. All of that in a nice wooden frame, now on the wall at @CCCBasel.

Details on the project can be found in our Wiki (in German): https://wiki.ccc-basel.ch/index.php/SpaceAPI-Karte
or in the git repository (in English): https://git.kabelsalat.ch/s3lph/spaceapi-led-map/

#spaceapi #spacemap #map

A map of a part of Europe (predominantely DE, CH, AT, CZ, NL, BE, LU) laser-engraved into plywood, mounted in a wooden frame. There is a total of 83 LEDs in the map, each labeled with the name of a hackerspace in that location. The LEDs glow either green or red, depending on whether the corresponding hackerspace is currently open or closed.

A detail view of a map laser-engraved into plywood, showing the area of Switzerland, south-western Germany and northeastern France. In the map there are multiple circular LEDs, each in a small black socket, glowing either green or red. Next to each LED there is the name of a hackerspace engraved into the wood. The colors of the LEDs indicate whether the corresponding LED is currently open or closed.

The map viewed from the back, showing the PCBs and cabling. There are 9 small PCBs mounted to the wooden frame of the map at different locations. The PCBs are connected to each other, and each PCB connects to up to 10 LEDs. The first PCB in the bottom right additionally holds an ESP32 microcontroller, to which a USB cable is connected.

Played with the sheet metal workbench in #freecad for the first time. Made this pentagonal bowl (it is half of a dodecahedron) as a test.

The workbench has most of the basic technical features I'd expect. However, the UI is very clumsy and non-obvious, leading to a bad experience.

It's is clearly not yet on par with other, more polished workbenches of freecad, like part design or sketcher. (Which made a good deal of progress towards the 1.0 release!)

CAD 3D geometry for a pentagonal bowl-like object to be folded from sheet metal.

Playing "Manifold Garden"!

This is a stunning game by William Chyr.

Solving puzzles in an infinite three dimensional space with a toroidal topology. The world loops around in all directions. Additionally, one can choose and change which way gravity points ... this sets the stage for the puzzle mechanics ...

It is on the easier side with the puzzles. I'd sure enjoy a bit more difficulty there.

But the geometry and architecture of the buildings is gorgeous! 😻

@Natanox @Neotheta Yes. There was a small shop. I think it was a temporary offer. Maybe there will be another round?

@Neotheta Oh, and possibly the best part: there was a small drawing of Xenia on the back of the envelope! Drawn in glittery ink. She looks sooo cute! 😻
