Also creating this curved parametric telephone stand in #OpenSCAD. I got the idea from a model I found on Printables but I wanted more control over the design.

The knob of the dimmer in the kitchen was broken. I designed a simple knob in #Solvespace as a replacement. The color is not exactly matching but I had this filament lying around.

I want to share my appreciation for gpx.studio, a online #FLOSS tool for creating, opening and editing GPX files. No account needed. Based on #openstreetmap.

I designed this comb guide for my Philips One Blade. The original ones break easily and are expensive. I also made the #Solvespace source file available e.g for them who want change the height of the comb.

I have this one little problem with the Mio Cyclo 210 navigation device.

With LinuxRocks Peertube instance looking very shaky I'm slowly uploading my videos to the MakerTube instance.
Recently I uploaded all 3D CAD challenges that I did in #Solvespace.

For all people here that use #Squeezebox and Lyrion Music Server. There is a community firmware update for Squeezebox Radio, Touch and Controller. I wrote a blogpost why and how to update to the latest version: 8.5.0.

I recently stumbled upon #ManifoldCAD a free and open source 3DCAD program in the style of #OpenSCAD or #JSCAD
Here are my first impressions:

For anyone who's using Squeezebox. It's time to spin up your own Squeezebox server because tomorrow mysqueezebox will shut down.
Setting up your own Squeezebox server is not hard to do. Just take a humble Raspberry Pi. Install Raspberry Pi OS, (or another Linux flavor) and install Logitech Media Server on top of it. A full instruction of mine can be found here.

We removed lots of grass (possibly Elytrigia repens) that was spreading like wild fire through our garden. Next week we're getting some native soil covers from our neighbors to fill the spaces.

Working on a low end Pentium E5700 with 3Gb of RAM and still able to record videos and edit them thanks to #Simplescreenrecorder #Avidemux and #MXLinux

Long overdue but I finally had time to update my tutorial how to create a cheap, FLOSS Logitech Media Server (aka #SlimServer). SlimServer powers #Squeezebox and multiple 3rd-party audioplayers.

With my newly installed music server I thought it was time for some improvements. The standard web interface of the FLOSS Logitech Media Server or Slimserver looks pretty outdated. Luckily other skins can be used such as the beautiful Material skin.

I'm having tons of fun with the free and open source #Netlogo. Netlogo can be used to create agent based models for physics, chemistry, economics and biology (create your own harmless epidemic) and much more. The interface looks a bit outdated but Netlogo is indeed very accessible and has a nice learning curve.
Netlogo is authored by Uri Wilensky and developed at the CCL and can be downloaded for Linux, OSX and Windows at: https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/

It appears that the #OpenELEC website is no longer functioning. The project is probably dead. Luckily we still have #LibreELEC.
-
The public television add-on on #OpenELEC seized to work because it doesn't run #Kodi 18.0 so I had to replace the whole system with #LibreELEC. It appears that OpenELEC isn't maintained anymore which is a shame really.
Now slowly uploading my collection of movies.

Yesterday I finally ditched #OpenELEC in favour of #LibreELEC. An add-on that I use to watch national television only runs on #Kodi 18 where LibreELEC is based on. OpenELEC hasn't been updated in ages and the project appears to be very dead on Github.
