I’m currently in León, Spain, making my way up to Stockholm for DIS2026 to talk about #Valkey.
My travel is truly trains, planes and automobiles: Train to Oviedo, Bus from Oviedo to OVD airport (40km from the train station 😑), layover in Frankfurt, Train from ARN to city centre and finally an Uber to my hotel in northern Stockholm.

The #Blender situation is fascinating. Bradley highlights an important aspect of what's going on.
I think there is wide misunderstanding in how money has influence over #openSource projects. Make no mistake, given the source of the money here, people are rightfully concerned.
However, there is typically (but not always) good firewalls between money and governance (i.e. engineering).
It's possible to not take money at all (see #Valkey) but it's not easy to get lots of things done.

Made a simple mod with #3dPrinting to my kids toy train.
He was desperate to have Daniel Tiger ride in this train. 10 minutes with #OpenSCAD and 20 minutes printing: ow Daniel can ride around in style.

I made this satisfying #3dPrinting project a couple of weekends ago.
I have a pair of sleek Peugeot Isen salt/pepper grinders. They work great but definitely a frustration object trying to fill. The salt/pepper needs to go into the centre hole only and if anything gets into the outer channel, you have to pick it out.
So, I measured it up and spent 20 minutes in #OpenSCAD then 20 minutes on the printer for a perfect fit into the outer channel.

Off to #kubecon / #kubeconeu in #Amsterdam. Mostly syncing with folks on #Valkey.
Anyone else?

Woohoo! Another bit merged into #Valkey .
Timeline: I got super annoyed at something on Friday after lunch. A little needless barrier carried forward for years.
I thought about writing an issue but I looked at the code and thought "I can fix this."
First PR took about 30 mins, got feedback in an hour. Made the changes based on the feedback (~+20 minutes, once I got my bearings).
Then 6 reviews over the weekend and it was merged by 10am on Monday. Valkey 9.1 bound!

I am so excited to **not** be heading to Las Vegas today for #reInvent.
I have to admit it’s a bit strange to not go after going every year since 2017 (well, 2020 was virtual) but my upcoming travel schedule would have meant 3 weeks of solid travel and that’s… not humane.
If you are going, check out how #Valkey is buying out the Taco Bell Cantina on Tuesday for a giant party 😏

I want to do some screen-recording focused (personal) videos.
I've used #ScreenFlow at work and I'm pretty proficient with it. But it's also not amazing software and closed source. And I might want to do some stuff on Linux, not just MacOS.
I'd like to find something #OpenSource that fills the same niche. Anyone know of a #foss workflow or (better) an integrated application for doing screen capture focused video production?
(Ideally, needs to work both on Linux and MacOS)

@michaelc It reminds me of this great session from #TXLF about the oldest peripheral with a driver in Linux. I think it was from 1909?

Experimenting with a new way of #3dPrinting #pegboard stuff. Aiming for super minimal and no supports (using Pegmixer and #OpenSCAD, of course).
I like the results here but I think I pushed the angle a little far and got some weird overhang artifacts.

Traveling today.
Originally I was going from #YXU (London, ON) to #YYZ (Toronto) then on to PIT (Pittsburgh). Flight from YYZ to #Pittsburg was cancelled. 👎
Instead, I’m still going from YXU to YYZ tonight l, overnighting, then tomorrow YYZ to #YUL (Montreal) and finally YUL to PIT.
I might actually make the wedding I’m supposed to go to tomorrow night 🤷♂️

FYI: Here in Canada #DingDongs are called #KingDons.
