Fun fact: Good kerning can save a lot of space! 💡

#genuary Day 8: "A City. Create a generative metropolis."
Had a lot of fun designing the "planetize" coordinate transform! :) It's so cool to think in shader logic!

#genuary Day 9: "Crazy automaton"
Made an explorer for "elementary cellular automata"!
By moving the mouse, you can change the Wolfram code (which defines, in bits, a table for how to compute a pixel from the previous line).
This also was the first time I've tried the #fennel language – a Lisp that compiles to Lua! #tic80 has several of these niche little languages built-in! <3

#genuary Day 13: "Self portrait"
This also has a "fuzziness" slider; you can try it here: https://files.blinry.org/fuzz/ (Warning: Pretty slow on my machine.)

#genuary Day 14: "Everything fits perfectly"
This was super fun to code. Give me 36 seconds of your time, and afterwards, let me know whether it was worth it! :D

@tasket@infosec.exchange an official protocol handler would help a lot. Today there is the option of introducing a web protocol handler but the UX for it is pretty dogshit (Piefed recently implemented it, and the number of dialogues was too damn high!)
That said I don't know if PWAs can register against non-web protocol handlers. That would be useful for sites like NodeBB.

Testing a Continuous Printing Mod for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini
There are a few types of continuous 3D printing with FDM printers, with a conveyer belt and automatic build plate swapping the most common types. The advantage of build plate swapping is that it automates the bit where normally a human would have to come in to remove finished parts from the build plate. A recent entry here is the Chitu PlateCycler C1M which the [Aurora Tech] YouTube channel had over for a review. This kit bolts onto the Bambu Lab A1 Mini FDM printer and comes with four extra PEI build plates for a not unreasonable $79 (€69).
As also noted in the review video, this is effectively a clone of the original swapmod A1m kit, but a big difference is that the Chitu kit comes with all of the parts and doesn’t require you to print anything yourself.
The different plates are prepared using a special tool that inserts G-code between the plate changes. Moving the bed in a specific way triggers the switch that lifts the finished plate off the magnetic bed by the plastic grip on the plate and loads a fresh plate from the stack. Here it was found that a small tolerance issue prevented the last plate from being used, but some sandpaper fixed this. Other than that it was a fairly painless experience, and for e.g. multi-color prints with separated colors – as demonstrated – it would seem to be a great way to churn out the entire model without manual intervention or a lot of wasted filament.
Perhaps the main issue that is central to all of these build plate swap mods is where the plates go after they’re pulled off the magnetic bed: the padded box is a great idea for the first one or two plates, but after that you get your PEI build plates with parts on them crashing on top of each other.
This is where perhaps something like a passive roller conveyer system could provide a nice gentle off-ramp, though this too would increase the footprint of the system. Regardless, the overall system seems to work well enough, allowing one to stack fresh plates in the chute and if you turn on build plate detection in the A1 you can even prevent the printer from trying to print on the magnetic bed.

@fediversereport If they are smart they will fix a raft of fundamental UX pitfalls in current ActivityPub by defining a protocol handler for it.
Email needed its protocol handler spec while it was getting established – and arguably still does – and I do think this is one of the ways in which ActivityPub is "like email".
