Just posted a Hieracosphinx .stl to print the last creature in the Monster Manual project I’ve been working on at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5426945. To access the full project check out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nAJ4y2JxQU2lb6jWOzqU9GdQtHIS4Z3P3NDHgOMEE9I/edit#gid=0. I only posted some of them on Thingiverse, and most of mine pale in comparison to the amazing work I’ve managed to print and paint that was done by others. I have benefited so much from things other people put out there so post all of mine free of copyright. Heck, I know the license they apply says to attribute the work but I don’t need that. I wouldn’t mind seeing how much better others paint these, though! <3

This is a basic app that pulls down raw output from the swift DeviceActivity API. So all it does is interrogate the iOS DeviceActivity API and relay the output to the screen. This project is just meant to experiment around with the DeviceActivity API documented at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity. Requires the DeviceActivity entitlement to load the DeviceActivity Monitor Extension. A few things to know: Users need to be in the same Family Plan (there might be a way around this) The app requires authorization (understandable but there isn’t any error correction in the experimentation app to correct for a state where a device hasn’t granted it). We have to import FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and…

Extensions have been back for a long time. Mac OS 8 is proud. But they’re more thoughtful than they ever were in previous generations. One aspect of how Apple has built these new extensions in, harkening back to the days of old when we got corrupt extensions, is to stage some new extensions. These are the ones we have to enable in the Security & Privacy System Preference pane when we install unsigned software (or the software that tells us it’s inauthentic, as though its whole life is a lie – which it might be). That software goes into a pair of directories according to the type of extension at…

I wrote up a little guide to troubleshooting 3D printing issues for FDM printers. I’ll have to knock out a resin one soon enough, but in the meantime… I chose to post this one on the old work account at: https://www.bootstrappers.mn/post/an-introduction-to-troubleshooting-3d-printers

Just a little site that randomly selects a familiar for those mages out there that get lonely and summon a pet. To be clear, RPGs should be social, so don’t be lonely when playing social games… https://www.findfamiliar.net The web app only has one button, so do a good job clicking on it!

Little fractal generator. Experimenting around with some features between firebase and Google Sites. Basically, make a site, embed a firebase .js flavored app into the site and publish as a means of wrapping a lambda, gcf, firebase, etc into a site – but more than just the usual backend microservicey whatnot… https://www.prismaticwall.com
