  • Excellent advice. It’s a game of cat and mouse (or whack-a-mole, whatever metaphor works…).

    Sites that want your data for whatever reason hate VPNs, so they identify exit points and blacklist traffic from them. VPN providers know this so they spin up new exit points with different IP.

    Just try a different server. Sometimes it’s a regional ’rights’ issue, so pick another server that is in the same jurisdiction, for instance in the case of streaming.


  • I love OpenSCAD and also realize it is a super backward way to make 3D models, according to most other people. I don’t bother even mentioning OpenScad as an option for most people, I know it is only for certain people.

    I tried my hand at modeling and designing using more traditional CAD programs that work more visually. I have good spatial reasoning and visualization abilities but I could never get the breakthrough to a point where I felt literate in those tools.

    Constructive Solid Geometry approaches just work for my brain. Now when I need a part designed, I can quickly sketch it out in rough code and I feel confident seeing myself as a ‘designer’ now. Other more ‘visual’ tools waste my time as I get sucked into finger painting instead of working out the fundamentals of the design.

    With the code-first framework, I have to really think about what the part needs to do before I tweak the code.


  • Get fucked Target!

    As they say, the axe forgets, but the tree remembers.

    Target has proven beyond doubt they are feckless and foolish at a deep cultural level as a company. Did they think the LGBTQ+ community was just another demographic they could appeal to for a moment and discard us when things got a tiny bit tricky? Apparently yes.

    But the work isn’t done. The brand needs to be utterly destroyed and discredited. Using human rights as a cute marketing gimmick that you can take or leave as fashions change needs to be utterly destroyed as an acceptable business practice in any setting.
