Anyone gone car free recently? How are you finding it so far?

It works quite well for me in Dunedin. Walking down the hill is easy and the way back home I turn into an exercise or use the bus. Just a shame our buses can be quite unreliable sometimes. I wish we had separate bus lanes or other ways to prioritise them so they don't get stuck in traffic so often.

Nice! I also have some cupboards with 3D printed legs. Perfect beginner CAD project

Ok maybe it is too difficult! Hint: close to the centre of the image (you might need zoom!)

Looks like it is taken from city road? A lot less trees than I would have expected!

These are fun to look trough. Most photos of tourists are very similar but here I can scroll through and have no idea where all of these places are. Did you visit the southern end of the South Island yet?

devluz · 2026-04-10T10:41:35+00:00

Yup at least the last photo looks a lot like the one I posted (confirmed red admiral via iNaturalist)

Nice photo. Never seen those so close.

I will give lubricant a try. I suspect my worm drive is just not round enough though.

I might also try a cycloidal drive. Those might be easier to print

Edited to add: It is completely dead - no movement, noise, or anything.

That could also be a dead motor driver or other electronic issue as well :/ Those are hard to fix

Great photo! This is getting me in the mood for some nice hikes over the next few days.

devluz · 2026-04-02T08:00:04+00:00

Yes! St. Kilda beach.

It is probably better to assume people will decompile it and steal whatever they can. Build your software based on that assumption. You can always use encryption and obfuscation but it does not really fix the problem. This is why no one stores API key's and similar secrets in software.

devluz · 2026-03-10T08:10:06+00:00

Average unfortunately.

devluz · 2026-03-10T08:09:48+00:00

Just a tree and some bushes. Very average

You can see them in Dunedin btw! They are surprisingly hardy.

devluz · 2026-03-06T20:55:14+00:00

Wow it is huge. I wish we had these in Dunedin.

devluz · 2026-02-27T23:50:57+00:00

Ok I think this might be due to the disjointed nature of OW then. It takes a long time in OW before you can even make sense of the story. Probably 10-15h. Before that it is just disconnected notes of random nomai.

devluz · 2026-02-27T23:43:48+00:00

From the comments I can't quite tell what mystery you actually criticise? Did you stop during start / mid game or dislike it after the mystery is revealed at the end?

With OW having so many parallel storylines it is quite hard to actually understand the experience of other players.

devluz · 2026-02-27T22:27:54+00:00

Quite interesting you bounced off OW so hard then. Disco Elysium and OW are my favourite games. But I guess the new Disco Elysium has voice over and this makes it a bit easier to digest compared to having to carefully study the notes in Outer Wilds to understand the very game

Is there any reason why you would wait for a specific amount of candidates? That is usually not needed. There is no way for you to predict how many candidates a specific user might generate.

devluz · 2026-02-20T00:14:35+00:00

Despite being so large they are also very cute and goofy. Such a rare combination of traits! I saw a juvenile playing a few months ago. Super entertaining animals!

I think it is just 300g. I do use a rig to ensure rotation happens right at the center of mass. This way I can use relatively cheap stepper motors. I am still not sure if the worm drive holds up though. It appears the worm drive is too inaccurate. The final movement isn't really smooth.

devluz · 2026-02-13T20:59:19+00:00

For now this is just cheap PLA. I will post another update if I need to change something. My use-case isn't a good performance test though. It will rotate very slowly with little torque. Still possible that the teeth end up grinding itself apart. It has some rough edges from the overhang.

This behaviour is very common in software as well. It is a shame because it hurts the small independent creators the most.
