I'm a former IT Infrastructure Architect, now spending my time reading, writing and getting into too many hobbies.

If you wish to support my efforts, please send me a tip on Ko-fi

I am participating in FediWriMo this year. Click here for my BearTrack Profile / Stats.

  • "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

    Jump

  • Honestly - it's too fucking late. Anyone who had an account with OpenAI and used that garbage is already an abbetor and/or accomplice to anything that is done by Hegseth and his henchmen.

  • My new beat tape 'Bouquet' is out now from Japan.

    Jump

  • Nice release - I haven't heard trip-hop this laid back in quite some time. Extremely well produced and mixed...

  • Judge grants Trump request to permanently block release of Jack Smith report

    Jump

  • Ahh, yes... Trump's Mar-A-Lap-Dog strikes again... Or should I call her his Judicial Kitty?

  • 'Peanut butter' pay raises could cost companies their top performers

    Jump

  • Okay - just reading this headline I somehow thought the cheap-ass bastards running companies were tieing raises to the price of peanut butter. Admittedly it's not much better reading the article, but at least it isn't as stupid as I thought it was.

  • How does one go about contacting the admins of a Piefed instance?

    Jump

  • If you don't get a response to a pm, you could go to c/piefed_meta or c/piefed_help - most of the admins will be watching those communities.

    Homeland Security wants social media sites to expose anti-ICE accounts

    Jump

  • Well, this is definitely a tactic that is a new form of bullying. Sounds like they've been trying this all along, and are using the subpoenas to try to quell dissent. Hopefully the recipients understand this and push back on them. It sounds like the DHS knows that these court orders will not stand up to scrutiny in court and folds at the slightest legal challenge.

    But, shame of Meta, Google, et al. for folding so quickly. Another reason to get off, and stay off the commercial media garbage.

  • Ummm, in your dreams maybe...

    Jump

  • Oh certainly, there are plenty of reputable affordable Chinese fountain pen companies (Asvine, Hongdian, Majohn and Jinhao to name a few). But this isn't one of them - it's clearly a scam given the pricing, the selective blurring in the photo, and the weird details in the listing.

  • Weird Pen Day

    Jump

  • This looks like a pen that the people of Arrakis would use. If they could afford the moisture for the ink.

    Indeed!

    Your handwriting is really good btw

    I can do much better. :)

  • Most Recent Acquisition: The Profanity Saver

    Jump

  • He did a whole video about it a month ago: The 3D Printed Fountain Pen Project Has Begun!.

    I just emailed him a table from my ink collection which I put together per-unit pricing. There were a couple of surprising things I found. Given his recent video about inks I thought he might find it interesting.

  • Most Recent Acquisition: The Profanity Saver

    Jump

  • Maybe Dooblebud would be interested -- he's been messing around with 3D printing his own pen.

    I have precisely zero knowledge of anything 3D printed, so something like this would be lost on me.

  • Most Recent Acquisition: The Profanity Saver

    Jump

  • Yeah, a Jinhao nib / feed makes sense. (Although I'd personally probably go for an Asvine or Hongdian nib / feed combo.)

    I wonder how you'd go about figuring out how to slow down the capillary action... That's really the most technical part of designing a fountain pen...that's really the most critical part of the pen - or at least it is the "magic"of fountain pens.

  • Who or what exactly might be conducting the current DDOS attack against PieFed.Social?

    Jump

  • I'll ask him later when, hopefully, things will have had some time to cool down.

  • Most Recent Acquisition: The Profanity Saver

    Jump

  • That's pretty cool.

    Did you design a feed to go with your pen, or were you trying to use it more like a drip-style pen? I see the Kaweco Sport in the photo above, did you use the nib and feed from it?

  • Who or what exactly might be conducting the current DDOS attack against PieFed.Social?

    Jump

  • Have you done any geolocation checking on the IPs? That might start to paint a better picture of the actor(s) behind the attack.

    ICE Brutally Dragged This Disabled Woman Out of Her Car. What Happened Next Was Just As Chilling.

    Jump

  • If we ever wanted more evidence that we're allowing the racists to run ICE, we have it right here:

    “After I was violently dragged from my car, I was put in the back of a car with three federal agents, where they laughed at me and told me this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being,” Rahman said.

  • Weird Pen Day

    Jump

  • Thanks - but I can do much better. This was just me trying out the pen, the idea to take the photo didn't come until I was writing the 3rd paragraph - so then I started making all sorts of mistakes. ;)

    I'm guessing it's supposed to look like a Monoc, but really it's just a hooded nib.

  • Weird Pen Day

    Jump

  • Welcome - glad you are enjoying the community.

  • Good command line ebook reader?

    Jump

  • Wow - lue looks pretty cool.

  • Weird Pen Day

    Jump

  • I'm assuming it's some kind of chinese nib. I haven't been able to remove the hood -- don't think it comes off. But it's a surprisingly good writer... No railroading, no hard starts or skips. The ink just flows -- as it should.
