Alvaro Montoro: Joshua-Paul Meme Generator. “After the boxing match between Joshua and Blake, I put together a small meme generator demo inspired by one of the match’s most iconic images. In this article I explain how it’s done.”

Whew, rain gutters almost done... running out of time, LOL. Ran out of light. But I think I need to go seal things anyway in the dark before it starts raining Probably should have given myself an extra day. #projects #rain #diy #raingutters

# orderedItems[].object.content
It took all day, but the small stretch of rain gutter I have for my rain barrels now reinstalled. (Aluminum instead of vinyl, after seeing a CALFIRE video showing how vinyl gutters can be a significant contributor to wildfire consuming a house). Slow. Ran into issues with the manufacturer's sealant, and the mechanics of the downspout. Vinyl is much easier to install. #project #diy

Gliders often go to significant lengths to reduce drag.

My flaperons are driven by a push-pull tube that exits the wing skin and pushes against an external drive horn. There are two of these setups on each wing...four external devices that need fairings.

But they and the flaperons move. That complicates things.

First photo shows one push-pull tube and drive horn without fairings.

Second photo shows the inner/smaller fairing that will eventually be glued into place.

Third photo shows both fairings in place and the flaperon near the limit of its down travel.

Fourth photo shows both fairings and the flaperon approaching the limit of its upward travel.

One fairing of the two pairs on one wing are drying overnight. Tomorrow morning, I will make final adjustments to the remaining inner fairings and then glue them in place.

I'm using RTV silicone, which needs humid air to cure well. It's winter in New Mexico and the air is super dry. I have put a very large pot of water on the wood stove to humidify the air overnight.

The flaperon push-pull tube exits the wing skin and is connected to an external drive horn on the flaperon at the trailing edge of the wing. This needs a fairing to reduce its drag. (Beyond the wing's trailing edge is shop clutter and equipment. On the wing is an old pink towel and a pair of left-handed scissors with orange plastic handles. 

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
The aft (smaller) fairing is temporarily held in place with blue tape. This is only half the battle. We also need a fairing on the forward part of this assembly.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Both fairings are now in place. The forward (outer/larger) fairing has been glued to the wing's surface. The flaperon is near the lower limit of its travel.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Both fairings are in place, and the flaperon is near the limit of its upward travel.

I need to make a cloth canopy cover for the glider.

Now that I have the canopy installed, I can measure overall length of the planned cover and the width at various points.

I'll lay out a pattern on paper that is 1/4 or 1/3 of the overall width...like gores for a hot air balloon.

I have three different types of stretch fabric from very light to somewhat heavy. We'll see what results I get.

#AvGeek #Aviation #ElectricAircraft #Homebuilt #Glider #DIY #EAA #Sewing #Fabric

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
A yellow tape measure lies along the top of the glider's canopy. The canopy is covered with protective paper and edged with blue tape. The fuselage nose is at the right edge of the frame, which has two folding props covered in bright orange fabric.

The garage floor is gray and behind the fuselage is the clutter of various equipment and sundry items.

Not sure you want to tie a knot at the end of your wire antenna? Try one of these insulators! https://n7komportableradio.etsy.com/li sting/1864403276/wire-end-insulator-for-portable-antennas

Friction holds the wire and gives you lots of options for anchoring the end of the antenna. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Gadgets #DIY

Hey Fedi!

We at #thisOldClownHouse have been working on getting baseboards cut for the library. But looking into installing them, it's probably time to invest in a new tool.

I'm trying to get a clearer idea whether what we need is a brad nailer, or a finish nailer.

Opinions?

I cleaned these up and noticed they were coated in something just a little bit waxy? so decided “maybe it’s boeshield, these almost certainly came from Boeing Surplus” and I decided I’d use that on them instead of bluing them like usual so I got them clean enough for that and took them outside to spray for a moment and brought them in to wipe down

and that’s when the absolute wave of old nicotine scent slammed me in the face

(I think as the new boeshield reliquified the old)

and it vaped off away real quick which was nice but I’m like HOW MUCH CAN ONE SHOP WORKER SMOKE?! and the answer is “a _lot_, apparently.”

they’re nice and clean and smooth and such now but that was a real _whoof_ xD

:python: Painting in Metal with Selective Electroplating.

Most research on electroplating tries to find ways to make it plate parts more uniformly. [Ajc150] took the opposite direction, though, with his selective electroplating project, which uses an electrode mounted on a CNC motion system to electrochemically print images onto a metal sheet.

Remember how I was looking for a fridge door seal for my ancient fridge? Well I didn't find one, emailed Beko, and they told me gently to fuck off, they don't make it anymore. So I put it out of my mind for a while.

But my dear federati, it wasn't a door seal problem at all! The door seal not sealing was only a symptom of the issue.

I need the Federati Brain Trust again! 

I have a Beko fridge that came with the apartment and it's getting a little old¹. If you follow me you know I prefer to try to repair and service before replacing.

Does anyone know where would I start looking for a replacement door seal and maybe a door hinge for an old Beko fridge? Very much not under warranty. Must be shipping to Ireland, preferably not its weight in gold.

Edit: It's a model FGA 943

Bonjour bonjour !

Je suis le tout nouveau propriétaire d'une Cricut Maker 4, que j'ai testée ce week-end pour faire des stickers.
Je suis ravis de la façon dont elle tourne, mais je ne pensais pas que le logiciel avait obligatoirement besoin d'internet pour fonctionner et couper (pas très robuste tout ça).

Est-ce que quelqu'unpar ici connaîtrait une astuce pour pouvoir utiliser la machine sans réseau (en plus de sauvegarder tous ses projets/images en local au cas où) ?

Should you ever be looking for information on a weird old plug or socket, or are just interested in such things, the online "Museum of Plugs and Sockets" is one of those sites that makes the Internet seem like less of a terrible mistake than usual.

The page on old British "BS 546" is unmatched, in particular: https://plugsocketmuseum.nl/OldBritish 1.html

RE: https://mastodon.uy/@kurt/115645987802 570667

Mañana en este encuentro que organiza @kurt voy a estar hablando de este tema

Título: YaCy el buscador alternativo p2p

Con el advenimiento de los buscadores de internet como herramienta de búsqueda, hemos sido buscador-dependientes desde hace décadas. Inicialmente buscadores como Altavista, Yahoo, competían entre sí por quien indexaba mejor la web. Luego unos más tarde el buscador de Google con su algoritmo PageRank dominó el mercado de los buscadores. Luego de un par de décadas, nos damos cuenta del poder editorial que tienen los buscadores y que aquello que inicialmente era sin anuncios y daba respuesta concretas hoy es una plataforma enmierdificada más de las grandes corporaciones. En el mundo del software libre y redes libres no le damos la relevancia que requiere, a la herramienta que permite descubrir internet y también la delimita. El proyecto YaCy es un buscador alternativo con tecnología p2p que indexa internet con reglas configurables y que en el corror de 2025 hemos puesto a funcionar en el servidor autogestionade Undernet. https://yacy.undernet.uy ¿Como funciona? ¿Como se utiliza? ¿Que tiene para ofrecer? Debatamos y filosofemos acerca del problema de construir un index de internet soberano y accesible, per fuera de las corporaciones y evaluemos entre todos y todas, que podría llegar a ofrecernos.
