  1. "#BruceDavid’s magnum opus is a #psychedelic #lithograph depicting practically the entire #Torah. Over eight months, #David filled it with a plethora of hidden symbols: If you look closely, you can see #Joshua blowing a #shofar, which hugs the #Israeliflag. Squint even more and you’ll notice Joshua’s face is the flared end of an even bigger shofar that encompasses the #TenCommandments, a shofar made up of dozens of small people, seven of whom hold flames as if making a human #menorah.

    To understand every hidden image in just this one #painting would take more words than I have space for. David gave me the “short version” of the piece’s story on Zoom — it still took six minutes.

    Although David has now spent decades making #Jewish #art#prints, #mosaics, #stainedglass and #metalworks — and exhibiting it across the country, it wasn’t what he had anticipated doing with his life."

  6. Oh also just a warning. Only because you've a drill does NOT mean any problem of stuff not fitting in needs to be solved using the drill. In fact I should just have unscrewed 4 screws and moved it over by one slot.

    What I did, drill two groove into a structural support bar so that the tip of the CPU coolers heat pipes would have enough clearance.

  10. Why do they want 23 Euro for a dumb Connectx-6 slot cover? For that price I'm going to buy a blank one and drill it myself on the CNC...

    Fuck you grifters.

  11. Of course the dumb metal drill bit has to break now. How should I drill my holes into these pieces of hardened steal now.

    (And no, it's definitely not my fault for having previously used them to drill two holes into stone. It is definitely the tools fault, definitely! Trust me I'm an engineer, I know what I'm doing!!!).

  15. How janked would you say is welding a metal bracket to the case instead of trying to source the correct rails for server hardware?

    Asking for a friend of course. No server cases or brackets have been harmed (yet).

  19. Oh no. I apparently can't just sand off the rust. I've to "reseal" the metal afterwards.

    Apparently after sanding off the rust I've to drench it in acetone followed by heating it up to 300-400C and then quench it in either WD40 or vegetable (cooking) oil.

    So uhm, how do you evenly heat rack rails up to 300-400C?
    And where do I get a large enough heat resistant container to pore the oil into?

    This is way harder than I thought it would be....

  24. Some new aluminium milled parts for the AXIOM Beta Compact enclosure arrived. Another step closer.

    They look and feel absolutely gorgeous by the way.
