Ephemera

Stream of consciousness

Seems like an ideal size for gridfinity in those cute little harbor freight toolboxes is 3 units deep by 3 units tall by whatever width is appropriate.

The drawer doesn't extend enough to easily get in the back so you want the bin to span the depth. If you keep it 3 tall or shorter you can put the bin in more easily than 4 even though 4 technically fits.

This vase mode model is working great for me.

A piece of paper on a wooden desk. The paper reads "A great pleasure in life is doing what others say you can't.

I got a fortune cookie preaching to me about the joys of being nerd sniped.

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.

I’ve been evaluating codeberg as a github alternative and collected notes on how pipelines and pages work on codeberg. There's a working demo repo wired up to dogfood the pipeline.
