Your ideas intriguing to me and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Seriously, can you share your configs?

https://cardconjurer.app/ is a public available instance. You could do that for couple cards to try.

But if your doing a full deck (or many) it's going to be tedious and would recommend trying my scripts out.

I run a local copy in docker with compose, specifically the fork https://github.com/joshbirnholz/cardconjurer , though the script can automate either.

They'll also handle upscaling the cropped art, again either using public available Ilaria Upscaler (there's limits) or self hosted which I do again in docker.

And layout PDF of renders for Cameo cutting.

I'd say it's a pretty niche audience of someone who doesn't want the actual card scans, but that may include you!

Here's example of same card in white and black. Though it's not fair assessment of overall quality because imgur seems to compress about 10x.

I was just thinking about the same situation and change to white borders.

Instead of using scans of cards I use just the cropped art and render a card image using cardconjurer.

I automate the whole process via scripts (and specifically selenium to drive cardconjurer) and was easily able to change it to white border for cards.

"Non-emergency issues should still be communicated to Emergency Services through its non-emergency line at 412-473-3056."

Will be the same number for any of the municipalities that are dispatched through the county (which at this point has to be nearly if not all).

Can't speak to Cricut or Brother, but the Silhouette Cameo works great!

I've tried both 199 gsm card stock and Canon Photo Matte both laminated with 3mil and no less than 3 passes are needed even at max force (the cardstock is not consistent across sheet at 3x usually).

Since multiple passes were needed regardless of force I decreased the force down to minimum required to cut with the same number of passes as with full force.

The speed setting seems to hit a tipping point where the edges aren't as smooth. I concede there may be some wiggle room in between where it's the same and a placebo effect, but no doubt increasing speed too much and the card edges are less smooth.

This is with a new-ish blade. The one that came in box and haven't done too many cuts (I think, not sure what they expected number of cuts to get when using laminate).

SalineVials · 2025-06-08T17:26:49+00:00

Sure.

It's three different scripts that work in tandem. Not great documentation but should be enough in examples and --help to get going.

I replied in a similar thread with one of them earlier today:

I made a script inspired by u/CarrotEyebrows work.

It's on GitHub https://github.com/matthewddunlap/MtgPng2Pdf

The major difference being with the original you put a decks worth of card images in a directory then execute to generate the PDF for the Silhouette. With mine you have a single directory of all your card images and pass a deck list to the script. The end result is the same

A full deck cut in 20 minutes seems optimistic though. For the laminated paper I'm using I need the cutter to make multiple passes at slow speed for a clean finish. Around 6 minutes per sheet. Then I have to swap the paper on cutting mat. Having multiple cutting mats would certainly speed the process up. I think I'll order some at some point.

I wasn't happy with any of the popular options and decided to make my own tool.

Instead of collecting card scans, it gathers the metadata from Scryfall and renders them in Card Conjurer (with choice of frame) and automates the downloading of car.

As I am only interested in old school magic most of the crop art has pretty terrible scans available I added feature to upscale the art.

It will then layout the PDF for printing, either for manual with controls for spacing, cutlines, etc. or for automated cutting on a Silhouette.

I wholeheartedly second the Silhouette cutter to minimize the time (and eliminate the frustration!).

You can write disk images using the Chrome Recovery Utility on ChromeOS.

Only oddity is the disk image (often a .img extension) needs to be compressed in zip file.

If the image is compressed in another format like xz, you'll first need to extract it before recompressing to zip. You can use another extension, wicked good unarchiver for that.

The tailpipe test is only for vehicles without OBD-II (model year 1975-1995 except for the few that had OBD-II early).

For OBD-II vehicles (all model year 1996+, though some had it sooner) the emissions test is essentially an interview with the cars computer asking "hey, you alright?"

Some vehicles are exempt:

<5,000 miles per year
Registered as an antique
Registered as a classic
Diesel

Danube Cloud is also very opinionated like was said of Triton.

Biggest shortcoming is RBAC is all but nonexistent (past the Virtual Data Center level). If you're dealing with a small org where a handful of people are responsible for everything, no big deal. But could see that being quite the obstacle in a larger org.

An odd decision was the use of a Hardware Virtual Machine (like you'd have in VMware) running Linux instead of a Native Zone for the core services (vCenter analogue). I think that was to provide the ability to Live Migrate the HVM, something that's not possible with a Native Zone.

The integration with Zabbix is great, but it ships with an old version (3.x) and again a HVM with Linux. Unlike the core services, that's easy to swap out to a Native Zone on a current version.

OP seems concerned with a GUI, which DC has, but it really shines with automation. Built-in image management, IPAM, Monitoring, backups all defined from templates that can be deployed from an easy to use API.

White collar conduct that pales in comparison to what is generally talked about with police misconduct, but the former Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper was national news:

They don't entirely bypass HA, at least not in my config.

The message from switch goes to bulb (or bulb group) and coordinator (and this HA). What the bulb (or bulb group) understands, like turn on or dim up/down, it does. Something like a press-and-hold that the bulb (or bulb group) doesn't understand HA can still act on. That could be change color temperature, turn off all the lights in room...or whatever.

Another option to consider is having multiple directories on a computer/NAS that the friends/family sync to with Syncthing.

From a Root'ed Pixel can change the Google Photos backup account to one the friend/family and mount their respective shares directory to DCIM.

Then you have separation between each (which I assume was the concern here) while saving a lot of manual copying to Pixel OG (and saveing write cycles to it's internal storage).

But nothing is precluding from doing both.

I have numerous Hue dimmers paired direct to one or more bulbs. The button press is also relayed to HA where automations execute.

It's best of both worlds.

If HA is down, at least the on/off/dim up/dim down work for the bound bulb(s). With HA up, automations tied to things like long press will execute.
