#AskFedi: Do any of you know of acceptable #EyeTracking solutions using just plain old cameras (or maybe the IR stuff that comes in iDevices)?
I want to play around with something really quickly, and just need something that kind of works, ideally without requiring additional components (though I have IR LEDs and some small camera modules lying around).
If you are curious, it is about this: plush.city/@hadley/11372975948…

Rendering idea: bright flashes should be drawn using a simulated persistence of vision, because computer monitors can only get so bright. And a quick, one-frame flash will inherently look very dark.

After the building's drain was finally unclogged yesterday, I noticed my siphon (P-trap) cleanout cap threading is imperfect, and water was slowly dripping out of it.

After cleaning the threading with a soapy toothbrush, I wrapped teflon tape (6 rounds, in the direction where you screw the cap on) on the thread, and used a Sharpie® to annotate my servicing technique (tool & rotation direction).

Forget pliers, use a jar opener; no excessive force, no damage.

A P-trap bend pipe under a sink, annotated with a sharpie to say: "Use a jar opener!" (written on the pipe) "← open" (and "close →") on the cap to indicate the rotation direction for unscrewing and screwing the cleanout cap
A jar opener tool, which is comprised of a rubber whip tied to a handle, and the handle locks the other end of the whip into place. This allows applying equal force to 360° of the object you are trying to screw or unscrew, without creating friction on the threading (unlike pliers).

Me terminé de hacer la mochilita para la bici en una tarde de decisión. No es un trabajo impresionante pero tiene buen aspecto y usa materiales resistentes al agua aunque las costuras no lo son.

En todo caso resuelve mis necesidades de transportación de cosas para este viaje largo.

La mochila en una vista frontal-superior-lateral. Es cilíndrica con una cinta superior para sujeción al manubrio. Los círculos laterales son además bolsillos y al frente tiene un bolsillo rectangular tipo sobre también hecho de reflejante.
Abriendo la mochila para ver sus contenidos. El cierre principal es más grande que los laterales. Dentro se asoma un jersey, unas bolsas de plástico y un short de lycra

Found a camper shell for the truck. 2 hours after it posted we were messaging the dude lol. Went to see it today, isn't a great fit and it looks kinda shit, but the $150 price was right. Spent the afternoon scraping paint off the windows. Hands are toast, heh. Hook up the brake light tomorrow. Gonna pull the windows and paint it white in the near future. I'll keep an eye out for a shell that fits better. I figure we can sell this one for double what it cost us at least. #DIY
View from the rear passenger side of the Ranger. A poorly painted black camper shell sits on the bed. The shell hatch is open and the tailgate is down. All the visible windows on the shell are painted over, mostly flat black.
Same view of the Ranger. This time all the windows have had the paint removed. The shell hatch and tailgate are closed.

Rebelix X2/S Dual Upgrade

It's been a few years since i last upgraded my 3D printer. During this time a lot of new printer features were invented and several parts got cheap enough for me. Also my printer was havilly used and few parts started to show that thay are worn out.
