USB Type B (full-size) is a good connector and CompactFlash is the perfect size for removable storage media. Personal technology should be operating on that scale of things.I will die on this hill.

Tell me to my face that you *actually like* microSD cards and I will call you a liar.

Like clockwork, Fediverse advocates are the worst about the current situation over on Bluesky.If your goal is to further alienate anyone who might be a good case for coming here and to confirm every stereotype of people here being hostile and condescending, you’re succeeding.

“Why aren’t they coming over here? They must be stupid, just absolute dumbasses. We told them so. Why didn’t they listen? Fucking dipshits.”

I can tell you why more people aren’t over here:It’s mostly because of people like you.

Podcast producers: put up a fucking website for your show, with episode listing.When I want to recommend an episode to someone, what link do I give them? Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, …?There should be one independent and canonical link to your work.Have some self respect!

Next small leather task:Replace this collar that’s really shoddily made and uncomfortable with one that’s simple but decent. At least I can reuse the O ring.

Look at this. It’s all just flimsy thin leather stitched and glued together into layers to appear thicker.And since a chain is just as strong as its weakest link, the closing buckle held on with only one small rivet is a worrying weak point.

The problem there is that the collar closes with just a thin strap of questionable material and a buckle attached with one small rivet.The force on that rivet will be partly perpendicular because the buckle is off-center, which is the weakest direction for rivets.Two dangerous failure points.

This is why you do buckles like this: pull a strong strap through the buckle, and fix it with a rivet through both layers. This way, the pulling force on the rivet will be all lateral, which the rivet can resist best.It also looks better imo

For something like a collar or cuff, I'd also double up the entire strap in order to have the "nice" side of the leather both outside for good looks and on the skin-touching side for comfort.This also makes it easier to add various metal parts like D rings anywhere on it like here: https://wandering.shop/@aesthr/115430515861256122

With a double strap you just need two rivets with a little space between to fit the ring. It also let's you give the whole thing a curve for a better final fit.Make sure to use closed rivets (the ones with smooth surfaces on both ends) so they don't become (unintended) scratching hazards.

Details are not done but I did get it to a point where I could try it on.And it fits, and I really like the minimalist look and the angles.Oh, and pretty much the entire lower half (legs, hips) is still not even fully figured out but I’ll need more material for that.But it’s required because without any anchoring on the bottom the too part slides around too much.

Fuuuuuuck!Maintainers of KeepassXC (popular open source password manager) have started to use LLM code, which is a horrible idea for any software but especially security stuff.https://blobfox.coffee/@Ember/115507736529184708

Last week in a seminar we discussed a text that was largely about sexual violence, including mass rape during war. Heavy stuff.One student admitted they had not read the text but worked off a ChatGPT summary.They had no idea the text was about sexual violence. ChatGPT withheld that information.This wasn’t just a minor error nor a typical LLM hallucination.About a third of the text, arguably its most important part, went completely ignored because it didn’t match OpenAI’s content policies
