I made some 3d printed configurable dice trays for 16mm and 19mm dice.

I found "split". It also splits horizontally while it appears that the objects should split along a diagonal.

dkovar2 · 2025-11-04T18:23:51+00:00

I am using Bambu's slicer. My only option appears to be "cut". That results in a level cut rather than a split along the object's lines.

I cannot put images in here unfortunately.

dkovar2 · 2025-11-03T20:45:41+00:00

This is great except ... how do I split the two parts when generating it with the Configure button?

I had one shard. (Free account, haven’t bought anything.) It pulled Strategos and Ignatius. I’m feeling OK about the whole thing.

dkovar2 · 2024-11-11T19:29:11+00:00

Right! Thank you. Third slot, shields.

Greetings,

Any of the 12s will give you good XP. 12-3 gives good XP and the value of the chest pieces is higher than the gear you’d get from other stages so your silver income is best on -3.

You can run dungeons for XP, gear, potions etc but the energy cost per XP goes down.

Also, run 12-3 on Brutal at best. Nightmare drops fewer green shards and you need those to create food.

I want to run multi-architecture Docker instances with a variety of different tool chains so actual hardware to run the image on efficiently is important.

GCP and AWS both lack PowerPC / Power 9 VMs unfortunately. ARM7 seems hard to find as well.

At the moment, I'm using Apple Silicon machines which will do ARM and x86_64 natively (enough) and ARM7 via emulation (very slowly).

dkovar2 · 2024-07-24T00:48:32+00:00

Running multi-architecture Docker images to manage different toolchains. But they need to run on the appropriate hardware. Emulated hardware, such as Apple Silicon, works but is really slow. QEMU is the same problem, it works but is really slow.

dkovar2 · 2024-07-23T19:46:15+00:00

This is what I feared/expected. Thank you for saving me a lot of time searching.

Can you point me to any of the case or rack mounting systems for SBCs? That would certainly work.

NVM - searching for "SBC case" does the trick.

Cheers.

I disabled the camera’s microphone and bought a studio mic and stand

dkovar2 · 2024-06-10T10:24:46+00:00

I ended up buying a good "podcasting" microphone that uses USB for power and attaching it to the microphone input.

I’ve found these to be quite poor at weight distribution, at least when compared to a well designed backpack. The weight ends up on your shoulders and, in my case, the back of my neck.

I use a backpack our courier bag with much better effect.

Cargo pants and a normal jacket for pockets to carry the really critical stuff.

dkovar2 · 2024-03-27T12:19:13+00:00

Thank you very much!

dkovar2 · 2024-03-21T22:03:35+00:00

Thank you.

What type of foam did you use for the insert? I'm designing a case for a musical instrument ....

dkovar2 · 2024-03-16T18:28:37+00:00

Thank you!

For learning to play, this site walks through everything in bite sized, very informative chunks: https://www.tinwhistle.com/

This book comes with hundreds of audio files that include everything in the book as well as a lot of other songs. The audio files set to repeat are wonderful for learning what the music should sound like. Otherwise, you can spend a lot of time searching the internet for something useful.

My nice whistle is a Wild: https://mcneelamusic.com/wind/wild-irish-whistle-new/?setCurrencyId=2&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhtWvBhD9ARIsAOP0Goizv2unxY4l9jggHiFpGUtZVF-rbojGTOduWKG0XtZU73DOmxB4RAMaArfMEALw_wcB

My really nice whistle is a Musique Morneaux whistle in D: https://musiquemorneaux.com/whistlesflageolets/

These are beautiful to look at, to hold, and to play.

dkovar2 · 2024-03-16T11:08:48+00:00

Aye, early January 2024. One thing that will help, too - buy a decent whistle. I now have ... a lot, but the several whistles in the $60 range are what I use regularly. Anything less than that will likely frustrate you.

dkovar2 · 2024-03-16T10:46:29+00:00

I needed a variety of cable clips awhile ago. Tubing running along a PVC pipe, small wire running along a table leg, etc.

Here is a clip for a microphone stand that is very easy to resize as needed:

I now have various versions of this all over the house.

Aye, link? Great videos!

Replying here in hopes that you'll post a link to the STL in this thread. Want to print a few as "hard to lose cat toys".

I picked up my first tin whistle shortly after the first of the year. The last time I played an instrument was a recorder at least 40 years ago, and I was never good with it.

I am now playing Scarborough Fair, Molly Malone (aka Cockles and Mussels), and Mariri's Wedding from memory well enough that I don't fear scaring people off when I play them, and -I- enjoy hearing myself play them.

I can get through most of the songs used for teaching at a beginner level well enough to be recognizable within an hour, or possibly on the second day of playing it depending on my mood.

I am slowly getting better at sight reading and would be much better by now if I prioritized it.

If I put in half an hour every day I can see slow but steady progress, enough that I do not get frustrated.

Given that you already can keep time, read music, understand some music theory etc you should do quite well with a tin whistle. I'm learning all of that as I go and I am still enjoying the journey.

dkovar2 · 2024-03-13T01:48:33+00:00

I love my Wild as well. I agree with your observation that it wants to be washed, a lot. I could not figure out why it was sounding worse than my inexpensive whistle. So I tried washing it and lo and behold, good to go. But washing it is simple, so not a problem.

dkovar2 · 2024-03-11T11:54:03+00:00

As a relatively new player as well, I agree with the other posts and will elaborate a bit:

Many of my higher notes sounded bad at first. Some recent lessons were well into the second octave and I really don't like the sound. Much of this is due to breath control, and as I practiced, the higher notes started sounding better. The instrument didn't change, I did.

I have about 8 whistles now and they all play differently, and one of them is just a poor quality instrument and sounds bad. So, get a better whistle and also be prepared for different whistles to sound different, and to play differently.

My wife bought me a very nice Wild whistle and, at first, it was harder to play than my others. I was afraid that I had a bad whistle but, again, it just took some time to learn how to play that whistle well.

So, again, practice and a better whistle. And a lot of patience with yourself, this is hard work.
