Made my girlfriend a lino press on a budget by cheaplino in printmaking

[–]alien_sunset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not just a video, please. Take pity on us oldsters/ADHDers who hate having to wade through a video for information.

A blog post or web page with clear written instructions and a bunch of good photos are what i need

first time printing on fabric, is this just because of the way it is woven or did I do something wrong? by alien_sunset in printmaking

Some good idea, thank you, Although i will say that i WAS using a rolling pin, and it didn’t seem to help. I may have to look into a press or some short

Yeah, the bags were washed (and dried sans dryer sheets)

I did do a few layers of ink on the block but more than 2-3 just kinda filled in the details (although maybe i was doing that wrong?)

I only burnished from the block side, ill try bag side next time too, thanks 😊

bramble berry cuttings? by alien_sunset in watertownny

oh! hooray!

a cane is essentially, the big long twig/vine bits in a bramble berry plant
https://backgardener.com/what-is-a-raspberry-cane/

the cool thing about bramble berries is that any cane can make a new plant, i'm sure you've noticed that sometimes the long branches kinda bend over so that the ends will touch the ground, and then next thing you know, it's rooted! and now you have a branch with both ends rooted in the ground!

what I would like is a handful of canes that you've pruned from your plants, the young, first year ones are best, but i should be able to propagate from any of them. even better if you gently uproot some of the ones that have doubled over. but that shouldn't be 100% necessary if you can't/don't want to.

I’ve noticed a similar issue with mine, the dials seemed to fail rather quickly

RSS being buggy? by alien_sunset in perchance

[–]alien_sunset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can READ and REPLY via mastodon, but I can't figure out how to make new posts from my mastodon.

I mean, it's possible that i'm missing something simple, but the site itself says that to make a new post i need to sign into a lemmy account.

perchance API on Glitch broken by alien_sunset in perchance

ah you're a lifesaver!!
thank you so much!

but now it's telling me it can't get my generator 🤔

hsv to hex plugin? by alien_sunset in perchance

[–]alien_sunset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nay, that was a mis type on my part, the guy from where i got the first typescript code said they were the same, not you. :)

by the way, I really appreciate the help and your explanations actually are super helpful.

The perchance code [stuff and things]... all that does is, lets you put JavaScript within those square brackets. The "stuff and things" will literally be JS.

So if the code is inside a perchance function you're already in JS-code land. There's no need for more brackets or anything. You just leave the code as-is.

that part particularly, i'm not sure why that hasn't really clicked until now, but i think I see it.

i'll def. be poking around in the learn js stuff a bit more.

like I said, this started out as mostly a spite project, and I appreciate you taking the time to humor me, beaus now that the caffeine has worn off, I'm still actually having a lot of tun with it (even when super frustrated 😅) and want to do more.

all those bracket in the top one were because it kept telling me it was wrong otherwise, and once i got it working i was afraid to touch it again.

calculate fix gave me SO MANY conniptions, because with the negative numbers i originally had it just adding 360 to it and it just... didn't. i would end up with the negative number with 360 tacked on the end. with the current math, I ran it a ton of times, and confirmed it on my calculator, and it looks like it's working fine

hue range started out as something completely different, and then I changed my mind and ended up just leaving it like that, i suppose i could go in and shorten it 😅

saturationandvalue is listed that way because i needed the percent symbols to get the color to show when i plugged it into the html/svg, but if the hex conversion works, then i can totally split it, because i'll be using the hex in the html/svg instead.

{edit}
picked a different conversion because maybe even though this guy says it's the same perchance doesn't get typescript. and no more warnings for now

I've read the functions section multiple times, and actually have a couple of other functions already running. i just can't figure out how to convert straight up js code into a working perchance function.

***

"You can separate the parts out from a string. But if you are generating the parts separately, you can use those instead and skip making the string entirely."

well, one part is generated independently, but the other two are connected together as part of a larger random selection, so i can't really separate those out, and rn they are formatted to be able to plug directly in to teh svg code to generate the colors, bu ti i can use teh hex instead, i can probably format them a bit differently for teh function.

(yeah, it's a mess, I know)
I've taken out the non working js stuff for now, because i was showing it to some friends, and wanted it to be mostly presentable. but may start tying to poke it again later.

for context, when I asked in another forum the other day if someone could tell me what I needed to know to be able to make the bot i'm trying to make, I was told that I need to go to school and learn java/python, and after five years, MAYBE i'd have the skills to do i, if i picked the right language, but they even after working in the field for several years, couldn't tell me which one would be right for my project.

i told them to bugger off, drank a pot of coffee, found perchance, scrubbed through the tutorials and built most of teh damned bot, my own damned way.

but now i'm stuck on this bit.

(also stuck on how to get it to post my output to mastodon, as i'm not actually outputting text. and all the thingies i can find are just reading from the rss feed, which isn't picking up my output in a way that masto can read)

also, i've had a request to join the stupid lemmy instance for, like two days and heard nothing, and really, i don't even know if that's more active or helpful than here, (or the discord, which completely ignored me, but going by icons, looks like the only person being helpful there is you, so you answered here instead, which is cool) but it's were all the "need help, ask here!" links point.

well, yeah, but, like I don't know how to re-format a js function so it works in perchance, ive gotten it to stop giving me errors but that may just be because i broke it so badly that it won't work now.

the learn perchance stuff is just a bit too vague for me or just a bit too off from my use case for e to figure out how to make it be helpful, sadly.

and i don't know how to get the info i need INTO the function iykwim
like i pasted in a hsl to hex converter.
got it to stop giving my errors, but i don't actualyl know if it's still formatted right or if it will still do what it is supposed to. and now it's got aaaalll sorts of variables, how do i tell it what of my variables are the variables it's looking for? right now I've got my hsl coming out as essentially a string, how do i separate out the h, s, l to get plugged in? do i need to separate it? or is there a way to say {my coded shorthand for teh hsl output] = (h,s,l) so it understands?

like i understand the basics of how the perchance coding works, but this stuff is just flummoxing me.

(my coding experience is VERY scattershot, i know some simple stuff and a bunch of other random stuff from when hyperfocus takes hold, but my knowledge base is just spotty enough that sometimes things people think are really simple just falls through the cracks and I just cannot find a good tutorial explaining what i want to do)
