  • I need to tack on a moderator blurb to this post. I received a report from Rimu that this post doxxed them. While it does appear the original post contained Rimu’s full name, I do not believe this qualifies as doxxing.

    While posting someone’s full name typically would be, Rimu has completely subverted their own expectation of privacy by publicly linking their full name with their development work on Piefed. Their username is even their real first name. I do not believe you can doxx someone who already did it to themselves.

    This information is publicly available, and it was made so by Rimu themselves.

    Not only is this not doxxing but under these circumstances it smacks of a half hearted attempt at censorship. Rimu made themselves a public figure. You cannot post their address, or other personal information, but their name is fair game by their own choice.
















  • I am a big fan of OnShape, its free for personal use. By that they mean that all your projects are publicly accessible when using the free options. Otherwise its the same as the paid option. As a hobbiest this is fine with me because I am putting all my stuff up with a creative commons license anyway. It is my way of giving back to a community that has given me so many designs for free.

    Teaching tech did a great introductory series on it which includes a video about why he chose on shape.

    If you have experience with other cad programs you’ll probably get through the videos quickly as the concepts translate from software to software, its just a difference in interface and execution.



  • It helps your body strengthen your T cells which are the regulatory captains of your immune system. I have an auto-immune disease and doctors are always commenting on how good my wife and kids vitamin D levels are. I insist they take a good daily dose. Vitamin D is also pretty difficult to overdose on over the counter. You have to take an unreasonable amount of pills to cause any harm even if you buy the higher dose pills. Its not like other vitamins, it’s more like a hormone to your body.
