Forum and Wiki Performance; Anubis Deployed
For some time the FreeCAD Forum and the FreeCAD Wiki have had performance issues resulting in some frustration as they have been periodically hard to access. The root cause of this stemming from automated AI Scrapers. A while back we asked if anyone had any suggestions for mitigiating these issues and we thank those who reached out with ideas.

#Announcement to my followers (all 3 of you), I have moved instances from @fosstodon.org to, well, here @infosec.exchange!

Be safe, be well, stay informed, do not consent in advance.

Also, FAANG companies are not your friends, find more secure and privacy focused services. 😃

Так, господамы-товарищи!

Настало время запускать переезд на мой новый аккаунт на моём маленьком и уютном сервере.

Скоро этот аккаунт на lor.sh перейдёт в состояние только для чтения, а вас должно автоматически переподписать на мой новый аккаунт: @skobkin@gts.skobk.in

Если этого не произошло в течение ~суток, а вы всё ещё почему-то хотите меня читать - подпишитесь сами.

Также если вы ещё являетесь пользователем lor.sh, то скоро для вас на моём новом аккаунте будет тред про миграцию и темы с ней связанные. Не переключайтесь.

Кстати, для желающих следить за процессом или искать друзей-беженцев предлагаю использовать тэг #LorshMigration.

Если видите, что я на вас не подписался - без паники.

Я тут подписался на небольшую группу человек и тестирую свой личный инстанс. В теории может получиться так, что я найду тут какие-то недостатки и либо создам инстанс на другом поддомене или поеду на какой-то другой публичный.

Но если всё пройдёт удачно - я сделаю "миграцию" сюда, вас сюда автоматически подпишет (если вы были подписаны на @skobkin), да и свои подписки оттуда я тоже перевезу.

Tutorial:Getting Started with Spreadsheets and Parametric Design.
Amongst the built in collection of FreeCAD workbenches, you may have noticed one for creating and working with spreadsheets. Whilst you could use this to track your expenses, let’s look at an example project where a spreadsheet is really useful!

Super pleased to announce that a custom version of De/Frag (2021) will be on display at ZKM Karlsruhe as part of their new milestone show "The Story That Never Ends" from next Saturday, April 5 until September 20. The exhibition features approx. 100 works from their collection of 12,000 works of the past 70 years. It's a true honor to be part of it!

Unlike the original release, which was constrained to only 640x640 pixels, this new custom version runs at 1080x1920 resolution on a large 75" screen, and will continuously evolve over the course of the next 5½ months, i.e. for the entire duration of the exhibition.

De/Frag is a homage and exploration of the classic flood fill algorithm, combined with semi-randomly generated bit/fill patterns, multiple iteration & sorting strategies, creating an endlessly changing tapestry of complex pixel textures and tectonics, whilst revealing the inner workings of the intentionally slowed down core algorithm. It also is an exercise in algorithmic purity, attempting to devise a minimalist generative system producing maximalist variation (relative to its setup).

The downscaled 30 second time lapse shows snapshots of a 20 minute time window, with one frame taken every 5 seconds... In reality, all transitions are continuous and mesmerizing to watch unfold in unexpected way (something the time lapse cannot do justice).

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.
