@gabriel Both the privacy and health concerns of Wi-Fi really make me want to use power-line networking but my place doesn't have the electrical wiring for that.

Volk.network has proven to me that the Fediverse actually doesn't care what you believe, you will be made fun of for believing it.

Thinking about a wood gas generator which can handle large pieces of wood.

Two fireboxes, left side and right side.
No grate, flat surface at the bottom of each firebox.
Small transfer-slot between the two fireboxes at the bottom.
Below each firebox is an ash box, a small exhaust transfer slot is at the outside edge between the firebox and the ash box below it.
Intake air enters at the top of one of the two fireboxes, exhaust exits via one of the two ash boxes.
A set of valves selects which firebox gets intake air and which ash box gets exhaust vacuum.

Intake left, exhaust right makes the left firebox downdraft and the right firebox cross-draft. Green arrow shows this. Obviously inverting the intake and exhaust side swaps the roles.

Freshly added wood goes on the downdraft side, where pre-heated intake air bakes the moisture out of the wood. Steam from the fresh wood transfers to the cross-draft side where hot coals pull oxygen from the air and steam, creating flammable carbon monoxide and hydrogen gasses.

When the cross-draft side burns down to a small bed of coals, the direction of flow is reversed, the cross-draft side becomes the down-draft side, and it can be re-filled with fresh wood.

@beardalaxy See if anyone has written a script to convert RPG Maker maps to RPG in a Box maps.

game dev progress for the day! got more of the manor fleshed out. there will be rooms on the bottom side as well but i'm working on the top ones first.

it's kind of crazy how much longer working in 3D takes but i'm starting to get the hang of it, just some things i need to change from working in 2D i am getting a little tripped up on. i think a lot of it is the setup as well. once you get the models created and everything it is much smoother to build it all.

Added a menu to the pause screen. Recently, I reconfigured my game to play in fullscreen so I need to accommodate the lack of an exit button.

@beardalaxy A break would be nice, but I think you should take into account that a time may come where you simply can't make video games anymore, so you should probably still make games while you still can.

>inb4 Pewdiepie creates a fediverse instance and it stirs up drama bigger than Gab, Spinster, Poast, Nostr, and Threads combined.

@GoonPatrol @BobsonDugnuttHB @SMetzeler I'm starting to think the guy is just a troll. He's just making the same outrageous bait that hachi makes, just from an ultra-zionist angle instead of a queer leftist angle.

_Supreme Court Greenlights Online Digital ID Checks_

It's not just a requirement that site visitors self-identify as "adult" by checking a box.

Based on this opinion, it would be legal to require identity verification to even access the internet at all, because it's undeniably the case that "content harmful to minors" can be accessed there, and laws such as House Bill 1181 don't change that fact.

FTA: The 6-3 decision, issued on June 27, 2025, affirms the constitutionality of House Bill 1181, a statute that requires adult websites to verify the age of users before granting access to sexually explicit material.

Laws like House Bill 1181, framed as necessary safeguards for children, are quietly eroding the rights of adults to access lawful content or speak freely online without fear of surveillance or exposure.

Under such laws, anyone seeking to view legal adult material online (and eventually even those who want to access social media platforms because may contain content “harmful” to minors) is forced to provide official identification, often a government-issued digital ID or even biometric data, to prove their age.
