I wrote about this over the past few months. https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/15/fediverse-for-freedom/

I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we’re not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I’m torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.

“new” == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It’s a good server!

Way cooler than the one I built a few months ago, but I didn’t reuse parts of a Prusa! 😮

Built and using it - lots of fun. https://dev.to/andypiper/getting-arty-with-a-pi-3dk9

I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

There’s also a really nice deep dive into the updates here.

I wrote a blog post about using Postmarks and contributing to the project https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/09/11/bookmarks-in-the-fediverse/

At the moment it is explicitly designed as a single-user implementation, although I’m sure it could be pivoted to become multiuser. I’ve simply set up my own on Glitch and it is working great! -> https://pipesmarks.glitch.me/

For what platform?

Reminds me a little of the Rook design. CoreXY right? Tell us more about it!

understandable! No problem, just thought it could be useful, but realise you should make those choices carefully.

You can use the Graze browser extension that will help with this.

Just about to finish printing this, it looks really fun.

It looks great. Curious how it plays.

Yeah, the decimation in the low poly app was particularly aggressive around the mouth! The original scan of course was not a huge resolution, and I had glasses on which was a mistake. Came out ok for my vanity purposes though :-)

I just wrote about this today! https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/07/05/running-a-3d-print-catalogue-with-van-dam/

Any example images? Curious to know what this produces.
