Do *any* of the 3D-model catalogues (printables.com etc) provide rss or atom feeds? #3dprinting

@fthevenet I’ve heard of similar craziness for Eve: Online. What is it about space games? :)

(Hmm my phone-based mastodon clients don’t like the formatting of this toot.)

@fthevenet ...wow!

oh I forgot to mention, I'm following them via RSS/Atom. Most are supported by openrss.org (some aren't, more on my approach for those at a later date). I use a separate feed reader/collection of feeds to not drown out my regular feed reader.

Here’s some I’m following already:

@pwaring Thanks! It's on the list

I've started watching the public feed of full Mastodon instances to get a feel for their community. Please recommend me some instances to follow!

Niche interests is fine; small is fine too (in fact, possibly better)

re: my version of this frustration
@fthevenet @noscript that's a really good idea, thanks!

my version of this frustration

my current pet hate (inspired by this) is

  1. follow link to stack overflow
  2. dismiss “login with google”
  3. dismiss cookie pop-up
  4. inexplicably scrolled to the bottom of the page

@fraggle one advantage of docker-style containers, even for overkill situations like “statically linked self contained Go program in a virtually empty rootfs” is I can use the same steps to manage them and update them as any other container. (I don’t use docker itself anymore tho)

@fraggle I’ve been toying with running some stuff inside systemd’s constraints instead of docker-style containers. Jury still out it. About to experiment with systemd-nspawn. Possibly the other hardening parameters, and access to my regular root fs, is sufficient tbh.

@mart_brooks in theory I could stream it to my mac from my pc upstairs I guess. In my convalescence (hopefully drawing to a close) I’ve got a MBP downstairs and I’m not very mobile so don’t spent much time upstairs in my office where the real machines are

@mart_brooks I honestly thought it would be the perfect game for me and I can’t really explain why it didn’t “click” and I didn’t try it more earlier. In more recent times I’ve enjoyed No Man’s Sky which imho is another spiritual successor to frontier at least (less on the technical/flight sim aspect than E:D)

@mart_brooks I bet you aren’t missing the mac support though ;)

@fraggle i’d seen your “miniwad” before but I’ve only just noticed the aesthetic is very similar to “robocop 3d”. Dunno if that was intentional?

@fraggle I’ll have to look that up. I was impressed with the compression 2040 achieved.

Just remembered that I bought “elite dangerous” years ago, never played it, it had mac support, and they’ve since cut that so I can’t play it on a mac anymore.

@fraggle did you see the RP 2040 doom write up? Absolutely fascinating. Starting point was chocolate doom

@fraggle just checked and our museum still has a fair bit e.g. https://nuhc.ncl.ac.uk/NEWUC:2024.0064
