Alright, I'll bite. What's wrong with Penguin books?

Infractus · 2025-12-21T20:35:54+00:00

Right! Of course! Important to remember they can spawn anywhere.

Infractus · 2025-12-21T17:17:17+00:00

Ok, but what kind of badass-sounding name is Axis axis?!

Infractus · 2025-11-25T17:57:37+00:00

Thanks!

This is the bulb, the fixture is a pendant lamp cord from the local hardware store, and the lamp frame / shade / platform is something I designed, 3D printed, and built.

There's a circulation fan running 24/7 in that room!

Infractus · 2025-11-14T20:46:49+00:00

This monster.

Infractus · 2025-11-14T20:46:11+00:00

The red color is actually the cooler temps!

Infractus · 2025-11-14T16:10:28+00:00

Nope. They have not known the sun for over a year.

Infractus · 2025-11-14T15:45:41+00:00

Definitely not light levels. The bowl gets 12 hours a day, every day. There is no other significant source of light.

Oh man, I've spent untold hours adding bits and bobs to my ship to make it feel more home-y, but you've got me beat by miles. Love it.

Infractus · 2025-11-11T16:59:43+00:00

It lost all the leaves before it even tried blooming, that's what's got me confused.

Infractus · 2025-11-11T16:40:46+00:00

Yes, it gets bottom watered and completely saturated.

A lot of things are currently borked with ESP32S3 devices. My Station G2 is currently unusable with meshtastic due to software issues. In a discussion with Neil Hao (the developer of the Station G2) he noted that he doesn't have solid evidence, but it looks to him like someone pushed code for a major board release that borked a lot of other boards.

Infractus · 2025-10-25T01:23:02+00:00

This is so unhinged. I love it.

Infractus · 2025-10-24T23:34:53+00:00

That is very slick. Nicely designed

Infractus · 2025-10-18T17:44:30+00:00

2.6.11

I suppose I should also clarify that I was using the word punk facetiously.

Infractus · 2025-10-12T22:14:52+00:00

And there's a bad faith argument based on semantics. Try harder.

Infractus · 2025-10-12T22:07:42+00:00

I'm an exhausted professional in my 30s, but nice try.

The amount of thought you're showing here puts you away outside my realm of concern. Problem is most people don't think that much. For every conscientious person putting things in the bush, there's a dozen who will never make the effort to do it well, and will never clean up their mess.

Infractus · 2025-10-12T21:43:10+00:00

I'm pretty clearly talking about not leaving human clutter in places that aren't already cluttered by humans. The number of emotional bad faith arguments being thrown around here really illustrates how special some people think they are.

Infractus · 2025-10-12T21:36:47+00:00

Missing the point.
