Butters

No one tells you that your whole family is introverted growing up. In retrospect it should have become clear when I chose to come out of the closet... by sending my parents an email. They didn't call me or discuss it in person when I came out. They replied to the email.

Does anyone else do this with their chopstick wrapper? I don’t think I came up with it but I’m told it’s weird.

I do not want to shake hands with whoever it was at the shop that put my oil filter in "hand tight". Had to pull out the breaker bar for that thing. I try to do all my own maintenance, but last time I didn't have time. They apparently swapped out a screw on my belly plate for a coarse thread too.

I started getting useful data out of my LiDAR. Did a walkthrough of the venue for MAGFest and it's handling a really challenging space pretty well. Currently implementing "splat and replace" to clean up repeated objects as well. Unfortunately the cameras were clipping everywhere by the windows.

I’m looking at getting a bunch of cursed artifact comics done. I don’t think they’ll all be with kobolds but they work so well for this. Currently have two more in the pipeline. I need to start a spreadsheet to track commissions.

Leaking user data should be an existential threat to a company. It shouldn't just be public embarrassment or a fine, they should just have all assets seized and the shareholders go home empty handed. Security isn't easy, but it's not *that* hard.

So, did you know that Fall happens before Winter, and we're heading into Fall? In any event, check out nxthreads.com for info on getting your own suit!

I think a core experience of running a home lab is scrambling to set up a model network before the ISP tech arrives. I don't want to explain my actual network to them so I just set up the bare minimum on a shelf next to the ONU to demo the issue.

It's weird that everyone accepts that you can't fix him, but you can 100% screw him up.

I’m spending this week convincing all my AI-pilled friends that Anthrocon is run by Anthropic

I had a really good candidate interview with me today. After so many LLM assisted candidates I was starting to think I was having trouble telling them apart from real people. Nope. It's a stark difference between someone who actually knows stuff and someone reading from an AI.

@thegaypossum.bsky.social drew this in 30s for me at #anthrohio2026 It was like watching a magic trick!

Ugh, bsky is making me verify my age. Hopefully Epic Games (aka Child Web Services) can follow a privacy policy.

If you're going to use an LLM to answer for you during a job interview, please don't. All of the available models are really obvious and I'm bad enough at the social dynamics of interviews when I don't have to accuse you of fraud.

Here's what's inside, in case you're wondering. The fan is what happens when you don't think about cooling until the night before you need it working.

I wrote my own SLAM to handle all the LiDAR data. It works! I scanned my house. Look at that beautiful loop closure~

Imagine how much fun Colbert would have on Dropout

Preview of a project that's coming up. I got a LIDAR! This thing has 128 lasers and spits out something like 5M points per second. Gonna scan so many buildings with this thing.

This is my favorite programming music right now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xOF...

Really happy with how my digital signage turned out at MAGFest this year. Other than the render box trying to upgrade to windows 11…

dude. yes

I’ve been waiting for more stuff of the tigers and zebros 😅

…did anyone check up on the “don’t tread on me” flag guy from outside MFF? Does he know it’s over? I assume he goes home after, but I’ve never checked.

MFF was amazing this year. I got to suit more than I ever have before and meet some really cool people! I had a bit of a rocky start at MFF but it grows on me every year.

Any re-posts would be really awesome to help me sell the Wolf Paw shoes, so we can put the money back into paying off the current bulk production! ;.=.; $140 excl. shipping LINK: v-art.co.uk/collections/...
