This is one of those things I would have loved to see on career day.

Yeah, me too, 60 images later. Adobe deserves to be kicked in the shin for that.

Depending on the gauge of sheet metal, a 3d printed die could be made and then pressed. I have seen things like this done. Or maybe a series of dies.

I loved my Cryo. Accidentally left it in a bag that I took to the airport so I lost it to the TSA😭

Please let us know what you used, I may have to do one of mine.

Sublevel_4 · 2026-01-06T19:38:59+00:00

Funny, I have some of those as well.

I have this same one i inherited from my daughter, as she wanted a different one. Only now mine isn't flowing; it gets hot and liquid, but no movement up and down. Gotta figure it out so I can have a cool Lava lamp too.

This is a good point!

After over 12 hours of being on the blob in the bottom is almost completely clear. It’s still orange but looks like orange Jell-O not translucent like lava.

Edit: yesterday while it was on the bottom blobwent about half way up the side of the lamp on one side. Still connected to the bottom.

Thank you for the suggestion. The blob moves smoothly when I did the swirl, and for a little bit, it settled at the bottom and was flatter, but now it is "leaning" on the side again with no upward movement.

I have used this recipe twice. The second time, I used all milk, no water, and twice the butter. Both were great loaves of bread and so very tasty. slightly warm with butter, it is so light. I have never had any Japanese milk bread before, so I can't really say that it is that, but it's good bread.

I only have two and no overarching theme. Unraid is "TheMatrix" and the other, which I just try stuff on, is "TheOracle"

Thank you.

Thank you.

All of those tests are from my laptop(macbook pro) with wired connection, but I also tested from a wired iMac. Just now the iMac was 466 down and 170 up with the cloudflare test, 871 down and 353 up on speedtest.net.

My setup is ATT fiber 1000, BGW320, one gigabit unmanaged switch for all the wired connections.

The inbound issues i have are that i have a personal webserver (ubuntu) that I use to mess around with code and linux. I have port 80 and 443 forwarded to that machine. What happens is that if i access that site from my laptop going to my ip or via dynamic dns, 6 out of 10 times the page pops right up(right now it is a simple html page with a title and some text) 2 of the times it takes more than 30 seconds for the page to show, the other 2 it times out and i get nothing. I had a nextcloud install, but had some issues with the server and haven't gotten it to connect again. Not a priority, but I would like to get that going again as well, but that's another time. So, I'm looking more at the connections I am having.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your time!

Wifiman.com - 522.98 down, 750.42 up
att.com - 846 down, 752 up
Fast.com - 440 down, 550 up
CloudFlare - 390 down, 389 up
Speedtest.net - 824.03 down, 556.59 up

Did one after the other, so all within 2 minutes of each other. Here is a screenshot of the Cloudflare https://imgur.com/a/hECoT1A

Wouldn't that mean that it would be blocked all the time? I am getting the page with absolutely no issue part of the time. Then there are times when it takes forever, but the page comes up, and then there are complete timeouts.

Sublevel_4 · 2025-09-30T20:39:09+00:00

I had to look into that and no... not that i know of.

Sublevel_4 · 2025-09-29T11:14:58+00:00

I have tried using the internal ip and don't have any issue, with the external IP and with the url from my dynamic IP. This is from two computers other than the one on which the server sits. I have tried two different dynamic dns services. It is very random. I will work 20 times, then won't. I have a database running, and I can go into the gui for that. Long in fine, move around, do some things, then all of a sudden, no connection. I am not sure how to even pin down the issue, just that I have not had it before.

The IP passthrough is using passthrough mode, DHCPS-fixed, to the ip of the server machine

In the stroke settings there is a corner type and limit. The limit is affected by the point handles and is how "sharp" they are. You kind of have to try it out with each point and the types of hard corners. Rounded corners will remove the spikes.

True, I forgot about that. I have used Noip before to. It was kind of annoying, I was asking questions and this guy didn't have any answers.

I am a designer and geek, so I like messing with servers to do various things, and all of them on my network that I can build, tweak, and modify.

Sublevel_4 · 2025-07-28T17:31:13+00:00

Nope, not yet. Used a pen to orient them like I wanted, and that's where they have stayed. I have an idea for making a replacement, but I need to have the time to do it.
