This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to co…

Thanks to a work-in-progress Homebrew cask by Andi Péter (https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram/issues/15#issuecomment-11159294), I was just able to quickly install and play with the new Gram code editor (

I tried to open a Word document in LibreOffice. I've now spent 5 minutes waiting for it to update itself. The updater regularly flashes new windows on the screen, fake progress bars, occasionally opens a web page. All interrupting me the whole time.
I just want to see a single page of text.
Update I finally got it to work by manually killing the updater process. Had to be fast: it'd only last a few seconds before dying and relaunching itself.

San Francisco's leaders say we need to act on #climate. So why does #MayorLurie propose gutting San Francisco Environment's climate team? Please tell the SF Supervisors not to do foolhardy cost-cutting - the climate work is URGENT. Here's an explainer and draft letter to send:

San Francisco could nullify its own Climate Action Plan!
The current 2-year City budget proposal mandates such drastic cuts to SF Environment Department (SFE) that 7.8 full-time-equivalent staff positions disappear in July: this is most of its climate program staff, with years of climate action expertise. At extreme risk: Planning, progress & oversight of green-house gas emissions reduction programs Building electrification programs like the Climate Equity Hub - which, partnering with CBOs, provides free electric appliances, education and outr…

Okay, the setup is solid now. SCART into the `gscart` switch which splits the output. One goes to the Sony PVM-2530, the other output goes to the RetroTINK 4K. I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.

I was interested in #Meshcore, but then I came across the website of the Meshcore Switzerland Community. Greeted by AI generated pictures I was appalled, but then I found this:
Work in progress vibe coding project, don't trust this data!
Nope, thanks, I'm outa here.
