Cleanly carved test cut. Zoomed in on a sample of poplar with the letters "o" and "I" carved out.

I spent a decadent amount of time dialing in my Feeds and Speeds to get a clean test cut V Carving Poplar with my MPCNC.

My DIY CNC in a cluttered corner of my unfinished basement

Maybe I need a privilege check, but this CNC setup feels way less fancy than how people respond when they hear I have one.

It's in my gratitude journal and all, but it's conduit pipe screwed to 2x4s.

Just implemented automated POSSE syndication for ephemera posts using CloudCannon's postbuild hooks!

If it goes the well, it should syndicate new ephemera to Mastodon and Bluesky after each successful build.

Makes me a bit nervous to ship the first one because I don't know how to mock all the complexity.

It's kind of refreshing to see that AI also has no idea how regular expressions work.

I'd respect it more if it copped to it instead of drawing me into a series of prompts that read like a crummy magician failing to learn a new card trick.

As I consider choosing the word ephemera for my content collection type, I am certain the fact that the same word is used for singular and plural won't come back to haunt me at any time.
