Does anyone perhaps know of a site for reviewing shops or companies. The website has such a limited number of accredited resorts. Yes I want to dive with a safe company, hence the need for a website?!

Pretty chuffed to be connecting to Proton VPN thru wireguard, and then sharing that as a hotspot from my Raspi. Makes for a simple setup that my mobile devices can connect too!

Busy walking the streets of my neighbourhood filling out details on #openstreetmap via Street Complete!

Wow! Kingsmen: The Golden Circle is just trash! 30mins in I bailed! Pointless effects, and terrible story right from the first scene! Eek

Excited to see the out come of the DOJ case against Apple! Of course I am pro more open implementations so that is my hope where this goes.

Probably gonna go the way of the Google Anti-Trust case though.

Who is excited for Autodesk Flow?! Whahaha, just shotgun being renamed again! Check out this insane video, all the corporate bs you can dream of in what seems like an AI scripted & recorded video!

Watched Dune 2 last night! It was great, fx, edit was tight! I never once felt like I cared about to the characters though, maybe they just unrelatable or is that just a side effect from cutting so much from the book?

I find I send messages to my colleagues and no one replies. Its like shouting into a void. I must admit this is my one hate about working from home.

@pee is it more or less annoying when its in a group chat of only 7 people? does a group chat give people the space to just ignore messages?

@pee yeah my thoughts exactly... the 7 are a 'tight nit' group... or maybe not

Is there any geo file format that blender doesnt try to import & convert to blender data? I feel like it is lacking in that it doesnt/cant stream data from an outside file. Similar to a gpucache in maya, I just want 1 outliner item reading in a file that could have multiple meshs within.

Linking a collection from one .blend file to another is currently as close as it gets.

Created a new hda today. Lets lookdev target specific selections or faces for material binding. Basically makes the process of creating geomsubsets more artist friendly whilst keeping them usd compliant!

Wrangled the pipeline at last! It took a lot of convincing, but finally got everyone to agree that FX can be treated like any other animated prop. Only caveat is different 'geo' may be exported as a different file/file type.
Its made everyone see a nebulous department as much more logical!

@mvniekerk Thanks those are very useful! 😀🙏 I think we arrive in ST on a sat, so hopefully we can make the market.

Should have taken my car for a longer test drive sooner! Rear brakes start scuffing/squeaking after a few Kms of driving, like they warm up and change shape or something.

Sigh! R3200 and not even back to where it was before I took it in for the first service. FML

@george I've had the car 14years now

Can I set #Firefox on an #Android tablet to show open tabs across the top, like on desktop? 🤔

I feel like in times of , being able to handle a 3D software like is some kind of superpower. Not only for assets but also for cool marketing renderings. It’s definitely on my list of tools I‘d like to learn next 📋

Can anyone recommend good resources for that? I’m grateful for any tip!

@flipsideza@fosstodon.org avatar

@vincefried I was thinking this morning about blender in VR. Would need to go beyond just a floating app in the OS, but actually render the viewport from stereo views so that you can truely see/feel the deph of the 3D scene. Now that would be pretty amazing.
Then of course there woud be the whole interaction side of it.

We're slowly moving to a more prescribed pipeline, where the artists do not need to know where files are on disk, only how to find them in the asset management system. Where the artists don't need to know what packages they need to select to do their work, just what app.

We'll get there... eventually.

And then it will all change when the next supe is hired. 🙃

flipsideza,
@flipsideza@fosstodon.org avatar

@yantor3d Yeah 100% I find myself manually checking published files after the dev team has tweaked even the smallest of things.

Definitely time to look into this seriously. Thanks for all the info and that repo, that will be very useful to go through :D

Can I route my #pivpn traffic out to the internet via an online vpn provider. Say #protonvpn for example? Am I going to have to go deep into #iptables or would installing the protonvpn cli and enabling it be enough?

5min job or weekend project? 🤔

flipsideza, (edited )
@flipsideza@fosstodon.org avatar

Basically solved this, albiet not thru my ... but if I pointed that (running PiVPN) to the hotspot then I have effectively achieved my end goal 💪

All in one solution would be ideal though 🤣
