Another day sacrificed to the #3dprinting gods. A new public domain release from #neotoylab enjoy! https://www.printables.com/model/1125932-dewalt-bit-clip @nhgeek

I think this is really neat: a map of where you can get to by train within 8 hours from any European train station. Hooray for trains. https://www.chronotrains.com/en

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it
The "Weird Old Book Finder"
Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://weird-old-book-finder.glitch.me
Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*
Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
A longer essay on how/why I developed it: https://debugger.medium.com/a-search-engine-that-finds-you-weird-old-books-3a74fbb5f3d4
This was a search for "mastodon"

With my usual impeccable timing, I’ve chosen the day after the Christmas rush to set up a blog collating nice stuff that I find in museum and gallery shops.

@35millimetre if you keep a database of them would it use PokeMongoDB?

Okay as this post is getting a lot of traction, new rule. Trans women, plug your fundraisers or PayPal links in the answers. Allies, go give them your money instead of mansplaining.

Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
