i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.

for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.

it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.

the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.

i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.

this is literally how we work now in construction. because everything is digital people think that this is an acceptable approach. all my costing files are purposefully extremely dynamic.

you want to add another floor? no problem.

you want to change some floors from 3 bedroom to 2 bedroom? no problem.

you want to remove a parking floor and have outside parking? no problem. you don’t want to have low hanging beams? no problem.

and so on and so on…

i know i should not be working like this, but sometimes i have to.

ifc-git.

ifc is an iso standard for 3d construction projects, which includes all aspects of a building data. because ifc is in human-readable form, versions of the same project can be diffed, hence ifc git.

this is a really underappreciated project.

how is that vi-inspired? shortcut for quitting is just q!!!

thank god that there’s a print function in every language.

it misses forgejo, which codeberg is based on.

please add a trigger warning!

this is my reasoning also

i use vim tips and still cant remember names, what gives?

i’ve heard so many takes on defining what a tankie is, and i gotta give it to you, this one’s the worst, yet.

yeah i’m on 3060ti and wayfire, it’s been good for quite a while now.

“dark web” is what mass media calls what is not in the “clearnet”. there are already protocols in place like tor, i2p, gemini, gopher etc.

this is the exact same thing i’ve been wondering for a while now.

we used to have dynamic ip’s. we could update our a little longer tld’s to our everchanging dynamic ip’s and that was that. i could even host a mail server this way. i had a script that updated my mx and a records and i was good to go.

now most isp’s give you shared dynamic ip’s that you have no way of exposing your local machine to your tld.

i now have my local server serve my nextcloud instance over tor. it’s a little slower but i don’t need a governing body to setup my tld, which was my end goal.

there exists a script called fedproxy but i haven’t had time to investigate. it would be cool if it worked.

that is just pure admiarchy in display.
