    How to create a coil spring (helix) in SketchUp
    [05:27] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.dedoimedo.com | How to create a coil spring (helix) in SketchUp [05:27] schestowitz
    [05:27] schestowitz

    Recently, I started doing a while bunch of new models in SketchUp, and I always try to only use my own components, never anything from the 3D warehouse. This means extra work, but also more satisfaction when you succeed. But then, I did face one big challenge. How to make a helix, a three-dimensional spiral, that most elusive of shapes.

    [05:27] schestowitz

    In essence, most of 3D design is just figuring the intricate intersect of planes in three dimensions. Sounds trivial, but sometimes, you end up scratching your head, not quite sure what to do. I decided to check a number of online tutorials, and while they do accomplish the task, I found them impossible to reproduce. The actual steps needed in SketchUp baffled me more than the concept of how a helix [05:27] schestowitz should look like. Well, eventually, with great satisfaction, I worked it out. It's not the prettiest or most efficient method, but it's dead simple. Let me show you.

    Firmware - what are we going to do about it?

    [07:35] schestowitz

    In my opinion, the way we deal with (non-free) firmware in Debian is a mess, and this is hurting many of our users daily. For a long time we've been pretending that supporting and including (non-free) firmware on Debian systems is not necessary. We don't want to have to provide (non-free) firmware to our users, and in an ideal world we wouldn't need to. However, it's very clearly no longer a sensible [07:35] schestowitz path when trying to support lots of common current hardware.

[07:44] schestowitz This is always a possibility. Companies do the same. LF seemed to have done it when I exposed two LF scandals in two days back in December.

[07:44] schestowitz Proving such correlation is very hard. [07:44] schestowitz EPO is the same BTW... [07:44] schestowitz In summer last year Vista 11 fake "leak" was likely hiding from two crises: 1) Gates Foundation being abandoned. 2) leaks about Microsoft commandeering the whole "big tech" narrative.

The [08:04] Techrights-sec GNU/Linux distros and FreeBSD ought to be making hay with this. [08:04] Techrights-sec FreeBSD instead are a bunch of Windows boosters and Canonical and the otehr [08:04] Techrights-sec companies backing the vaiorous distros have all be heavily infiltrated. [08:04] Techrights-sec Einfeldt had estimated that going below around 85% desktop market share [08:04] Techrights-sec would pop the Windows bubble. Most people believe that M$ makes money [08:04] Techrights-sec from selling Windows, that is a myth which M$ likes to perpetuate. [08:04] Techrights-sec The real money comes from the monopoly rents and it is the OEM monopoly which [08:04] Techrights-sec counts there. The stuff with the UEFI, TPM, Restricted boot, and so on [08:04] Techrights-sec is an attempt to lock in what they can with aspirations to having [08:04] Techrights-sec enough market share remaining after that to be able to continue their [08:04] Techrights-sec leveraging of old monopolies into new ones. [08:04] schestowitz-TR I have just tried, in vain (vague headline), to find last week's article about [08:04] schestowitz-TR aschool (US, IIRC) changineverything to GNU/Linux, client side also [08:05] schestowitz-TR Chromebooks weaken Windows and force the revenue of WIndows down [08:05] schestowitz-TR but they won't usher in any real emancipation, nor will they give pupils [08:05] schestowitz-TR the core skills needed to lead the way away from Windows [08:05] schestowitz-TR Gulag is like enemey of enemy in this context [08:07] Techrights-sec Another area, which is probably the largest if I were to guess, would be [08:07] Techrights-sec the buying and selling of its own stock.. That probaby brings in more [08:07] Techrights-sec revenue than the other areas. Note also that M$ "profit" even with Eron- [08:07] Techrights-sec style accounting is less than the government bailout it got with JEDI [08:11] schestowitz-TR speaking totally in the abstract here, you know where I stand in my hypotheses [08:11] schestowitz-TR on US "tech" [08:11] schestowitz-TR Like Luka with his "tech" sector in Minck, with 1% tax rates [08:11] schestowitz-TR The real goal isn't to create a profitable econom [08:11] schestowitz-TR but an economic yoke tgar helps the ruling class (or dicatoator) of a nation [08:11] schestowitz-TR 1) spy/control the population [08:11] schestowitz-TR 2) spy abroad or leverage (e.g. blackmail, taking blogger's plane down) [08:11] schestowitz-TR Microsoft is a centerpiece going back to the 1990s [08:11] schestowitz-TR the gov. put Microsoft in a split dilemma [08:11] schestowitz-TR now it has back doors in over 200 countries woirldwidde [08:11] schestowitz-TR Gulag tells the US gov. what over 5 billion people think (or browser, or search for) [08:11] schestowitz-TR that does not need to be directly profitable [08:11] schestowitz-TR the bproblem is, all these "hobby projects" of sociopathic ruling classes/dictators [08:11] schestowitz-TR are a yoke on taxpayers, whose contributions are paid in the form of debt (i.e. borrowing [08:11] schestowitz-TR from the futture, based on speculations or delusions of grandeur) [08:15] Techrights-sec yes, as complained about a lot, technology is more about control than [08:15] Techrights-sec functionality or usability or reliability [08:15] Techrights-sec M$ /is/ the backdoor [08:15] Techrights-sec the continued existence of M$ is a drag on the world economy and hits the US [08:15] Techrights-sec economy worse than most [08:15] Techrights-sec yes the taxpayers foot the bill for the backdoors and spyware used against them [08:15] Techrights-sec as mentioned the debt itself is the new currencu [08:15] Techrights-sec ^currency [08:17] schestowitz-TR Microsoft , Gulag, and Palantir help the US harvest medical data [08:17] schestowitz-TR We already have solid proof that, as per Wikileaks/Cablegate, the US [08:17] schestowitz-TR leverages such information to discredit and manipulate foreign leaders [08:17] schestowitz-TR like Kirschner in Argentina [08:17] schestowitz-TR I hope that thew Belarus series helps illuminate how "apps fur diktatur" [08:17] schestowitz-TR is really a thing [08:17] schestowitz-TR or NSO Group/ClearView/something "bright" (the hypePhone back doors) for Israel [08:17] schestowitz-TR Germany has Gamma Group, which I assume just rernamed rather than shut down [08:17] schestowitz-TR The US is "world leaders" in this regard, but US took 11,000,000,000,000 (I had toi count [08:17] schestowitz-TR the zereoes) in loads in just 2 years of pandemic, so it's overdoing it [08:17] schestowitz-TR overdosing so to speak [08:17] schestowitz-TR people do not read books anymore (few do) [08:17] schestowitz-TR but some books about silicon valley were making points /similar/ to these [08:17] schestowitz-TR I did not read these books, but I saw allusions to them [08:18] Techrights-sec nope and I would posit that young people /cannot/ read books and not [08:18] Techrights-sec due to lack of availability either [08:22] schestowitz-TR physical books are "dangerous" [08:22] schestowitz-TR 1) they last long [08:22] schestowitz-TR 2) they pass hands without the government seeing who from/to [08:22] schestowitz-TR 3) they cannot be remotely removed (store, DMCA etc) [08:22] schestowitz-TR like "app stores", there's centralised controls associated with "e" 'books' [08:22] schestowitz-TR Stalin and Putin "approve" [08:22] schestowitz-TR they can eliminate books without the carbon footpinr associated with physical [08:22] schestowitz-TR book burning [08:22] schestowitz-TR Applem now takes it a step further by hashing and making DBs on files in the OS [08:23] schestowitz-TR it'll pass to other OS [08:23] schestowitz-TR "because das kinder!"

[10:44] schestowitz-TR 1-2 years later there were also "tweets" with my name in them [10:44] schestowitz-TR the key problem is, [10:44] schestowitz-TR (to emphasise to people) [10:44] schestowitz-TR giving someone else control over your platform of mouth [10:44] schestowitz-TR they may seem benign and courteous at first [10:44] schestowitz-TR but they are still in control [10:45] schestowitz-TR like a saudi husband [10:45] schestowitz-TR and when things go sour they still have control over you, [10:45] schestowitz-TR such as your data and your perceived "audience" [10:45] Techrights-sec ack [10:45] Techrights-sec yes, as usual, it is about control [10:45] Techrights-sec and thus modifiying the message and shifting the "narrative" [10:45] Techrights-sec thus the analogy to sharecropping [10:48] schestowitz-TR on the internet, it is very hard not to be boassed by masters like dns, icann, nominet (uk) etc. [10:48] schestowitz-TR those are problem further up the chain [10:48] schestowitz-TR the "copyright holders" and Russia sanctions crowd have begun chasing them, too [10:48] schestowitz-TR but then again the wiring between people is almost always going to be centrally controlled [10:48] schestowitz-TR wireless meshes only work under certain conditions in very densely populated cities [10:48] schestowitz-TR but then there is the power of encryption [10:48] schestowitz-TR where you avoid being banned by hiding what's moving up and down the stream [10:48] schestowitz-TR hence, the war on encryption is not about privacy [10:48] schestowitz-TR it's about control [10:51] schestowitz-TR activelow (in the channel at the moment) did some work on encryption [10:51] schestowitz-TR I disagree with him on many political issues [10:51] schestowitz-TR but IME, people who work on unapproved encryption get in a lot of trouble [10:51] schestowitz-TR even if their first attempt at it sucks [10:51] schestowitz-TR there is the prospect they will get it right later [10:51] schestowitz-TR Over the years I spoke to people and heard from people who, [10:51] schestowitz-TR merelt for developing ciphers, would get harassed a lot [10:52] Techrights-sec The harassment is probably targeted and the target chosen on purpose [10:58] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@wsk8gad9wzzmk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Apr 24 [11:06] activelow on my TODO: removal of CONFIG_CRYPTO from linux kernel [11:06] activelow none of this is required inside kernel [11:06] activelow all that remains will be the 32bit non-primitive recurse LFSR for loopdev [11:08] Techrights-sec ack [11:11] *techrights_guest|12 (~df185c72@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [11:17] schestowitz-TR CNC https://hackaday.com/2022/04/23/omnibot-shows-off-over-a-decade-of-cnc-prowess/ | Source: Hacka [11:17] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Omnibot Shows Off Over A Decade Of CNC Prowess | Hackaday [11:20] *techrights_guest|12 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:56] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Apr 24 [16:20] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
