My thoughts about planting a garden (buy farm share instead!) Buyerarchy of Needs & how to shift your mindset about consumption: lots of links, ideas & frothy #solarpunk stuff to stare down the chaos.

Okay, woodworkers!

I'm curious to know which resources helped you the most when you were starting out?

Was it a book, a YouTube channel, or another woodworker?

I'm always looking for more ways to learn (and try to avoid making ALL the mistakes myself!)...

Someday, I have to reupholster this chair (it's in worse condition now... fake leather splitting). The bunny is a lot older ;-)

Anyone around here ever try reupholstering a fake Eames chair? Curious how hard it is. (I know another MCM chair I have apparently cannot be reupholstered, because it is held together with glue and parts that break if you try to take it all apart)

ps. I paid $0.00 for this chair, it was out on the curb for trash day and I threw it in my truck.

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?

And the answer is: Yes, actually.

42 ms on X11, compositing off
56 ms on X11, compositing on
64 ms on Wayland
71 ms on Windows 10

Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

I've gathered up some momentum with my paper mache bookshelf project and, I've got a first layer on two sides, as well as the front.

Beginning to think about what color I want it to be...

I created some “art” for my home office using old hardware that’s just sitting around not doing a lot. On the left we have a collection of Raspberry Pi hardware and the right is a shrine to my older Apple devices.

JUDE | Zakaz

stare, dobre łódzkie JUDE w materiale z 2024 roku.. mocarny noise / industrial, tak bardzo charakterystyczny na DIY scenie. dobre, mocne, szczere granie (nie tylko dla fanów GODFLESH)..

Looking back, what's the one thing you'd tell your past woodworking self?

As someone just starting out, I'm taking in all the knowledge I can get!

What's the most valuable tip you've learned?

I made a little bag for my Magic The Gathering play mat!!! It was such an easy and satisfying little project. I just freestyled it with some salvaged black cloth and an old reclaimed cord from my stach!

hellooo fedi!!!

i am overdue for an #introduction:

i am a transfem artist based in #adelaide, kaurna yerta and have a background in #gamedev, specifically #virtualreality. i cant stop thinking about #transreality experiences, #pervasivegames, and other transmedia storytelling ( #ARGs! ), but most of my artistic practice would be in what i would more broadly call participatory #performanceart

i love #opensource, #diy (as in punk), #openscience, and building and pulling apart systems!!

PiEEG Kit is an open source biosignal tool!

My partners espresso machine had an electrical fire last month.

Decided to fix it myself and long story short, $65 in parts and a trip to Autozone she has a working espresso machine again.

Makes me wonder if I could help others locally save money by helping them repair things.

Side note I was very happy to see Autozone still has their DEI in place. I checked before going because no company who shuttered DEI is getting a penny from our pockets.

update: here’s the Bavarian Village Rye Bread, hot out of the pan. i’m MUCH happier with this result! #BreadPost #Baking #DIY
