People of the fediverse that work with leather, which toolset do you recommend for beginners? Which tool brand is the best and which are good ones to upgrade to?

Does eduroam block your VPN traffic? I tried both Wireguard (standard port) and L2TP. Neither of those seem can reach my remote network. However using my personal hotspot from my phone both work completely fine.

#DuckDuckfedi - if I wanted to store a small state file to disk in my Rust app (tiny), what's the most effecient option these days?

Hey #DuckDuckFedi, maybe you have an idea for this network issue I'm having at $dayjob:

I have a server that I'm using for backups. It's currently connected using a regular ethernet cable. We'd like to switch this to the NIC with two 10G ports. We're using DAC to connect this to a fibre switch.

The same setup works on two other servers of identical make and model (identical down to the parts). On this one however, it detects that the cable is physically connected, but no link.

Config is identical (except for the address of course), I've updated the firmware to the latest version, the works. We've tested with a known-good cable, nothing. Known-good switch ports, nothing.

Is this just a shot NIC? What else can/should we try?

Any help is appreciated :neocat_laptop: :BoostOK:

#duckduckfedi What is this song?

Hey #duckDuckFedi, what was that "reverse URL shortener" that turns normal URLs into super Sus looking links?

(Edit: it's https://creepylink.com!)

Is there a way to have blender (or some other tool) 'grow' an object by some size in each direction, creating a new object whose surface is (e.g.) 5mm from the other surface everywhere? Essentially the minkowski sum of the original object and a sphere.

The picture shows an example of the sphere giving the desired radius, some random object, and the result I want.

openscad can do this, but the last time I tried it was prohibitively slow.

Approximations are fine (and encouraged, I don't need the object complexity to blow up by a factor of 10...), but it has to be able to deal with holes/concave objects with relatively little hassle.

Source objects are STL files of roughly 20 to 100 MB, to give you an idea of the size, although this can be reduced by maybe 80% without huge problems for my application - it's for the outer surface of a silicone mold.

(So something like (result of the thing I want) - (original object) = empty space that is filled with silicone to produce a mold I can use to reproduce the original several times)

In situations where a website uses Algolia search, how do you write a bang for searching? Typically I would write a bang that uses the URL, so for example, here's my bang for searching the k8s docs:

https://kubernetes.io/search/?q=%s

And I have that mapped to !k8s so I can just hit ctrl + t to pull up a search bar and then, say I forgot how to set the default mode for a PVC, I could search for something like:

!k8s defaultMode

And it would search the kubernetes docs for me, rather than me having to first plug it into a third party search engine and sift through a bunch of AI slop results, or actually remember the exact URL of the k8s docs.

But for say, the helm docs (located at helm.sh), I don't know how to write a bang for this. Anyone have any ideas? I use Uruky as my primary web search site, if that's helpful.
