The m5 doesn't line up perfect, but it's good enough. Should be able support 4 bar electromagnets (ones I have draw about 0.15A so about 2W each) with a USB power supply. Run time maxed to 12hrs, but a simple code adjustment would allow you to change that...

SO CLOSE

Been using my Cobra N+ for over 2 years now. Nearly always locked outside of some breaks for vacation and health. Decided i want to try downsizing the cage, Cobra N has been ordered...

Listen, usually it's not this bad, but it does the job.

Man, I should win awards for the amazing soldering job I've been doing with this project.(that's sarcasm BTW)

🤤

When asked "what are you thinking about for dinner" is "giving up" a reasonable answer? BTW, this isn't a call for help, I'm just stressed and unsatisfied with a bunch of things. It feels easier to just give up on all of it right now...

Makin' shit...

The guy fixing my oven is really cute. He also has a really good choice in tools, all the important stuff is Klein.

Work takes up way too much time I would rather put towards open source sex toys. I really need to not have 20 different projects on the go at once, but I have so many ideas!!!

Looks like AI slop to me...

I managed to get this thing on alone the other day, it was a challenge. If the velcro flap on the zipper would have fallen, I'd probably be stuck 😂 Gonna have to try it with someone who can help me get in and out.

I could go for some bondage, but I'm so baked it would be a challenge to get up...

I'm not into ABDL at all, however I feel like this is a really dangerous slippery slope to go down. www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's Friday, that means work in gear again. Same as last time including the rubber underneath, just different gloves. Went with the heavier 8mil nitrile gloves, they hit different. Working in gear just makes the day so much more enjoyable.

Gimme Gimme Gimme! As someone who spends a lot of time outside during the summer, picking up a tick and getting Lyme is a huge worry. Even at 75% efficacy I'd be all over this

"Error: Try 'puppet help help help' for usage" has to be the best error message ever

I'd show up at way more social events if I could be the bondage object struggling and moaning off to the side...

Anyone got any good suggestions to getting into and out of gear with heavy back zippers? Not necessarily Dynat zippers, but them too. I've tried shoelaces and lanyards, but not had a whole lot of luck.

The gear. (Rubber underneath)

Gear work day? Gear work day.

Experienced my first DC fast charge today. That shit is magic

Got a bit of bondage time this weekend, tested out new straps and a harness. I still need to figure out a better solution for legs, I struggle enough for the leg straps to move...

"But the dow, the dow", news for you, your God and saviour, the prime p*do of the "free" world has wiped 6 months of gains off the dow in under 20 days. A war killing thousands of innocent civilians to cover up his crimes, and leading the world head first into a recession. How the SERIOUS FUCK!?

I need some guidance. I'm looking at a pair of Haix Fire Eagle 2.0, found new on eBay, but they don't have wide width. I've got a fat foot, usually US10 fits, but my DC snowboard boots are a 10.5 and fit perfectly. Should I go up to a US 11, or would 10.5 work?

Went and listened to drinking songs tonight (Alan Doyle live), now I think I'm going to go buy some 0% Guinness so I can have a pint for st Patrick's day, while I listen to east and west coast drinking songs in my home office. Way better than a bar.

Nothing better than collecting data about things like modem RF power so you can know when it drops out of spec and you can give your ISP hell.

Presenting kinkhub.xyz a place for kinky makers to share ideas, plans, code, models, and anything related to that. I plan to make this a community run site, so if you're interested in helping, please let me know. @kinkhub.xyz for Bsky profile.

I saw something saying the US/Israel-Iran war has cost something like $5b since Friday. How much universal health care could America have for aprox $1b/day? How many people could be lifted out of poverty for $1b/day? How many children could be fed for $1b/day? Just a bit of food for thought..

No only hot, also has me thinking....

Went to do gear and butt stuff today, ended up having to fix my OSSM. Somehow the dip switches got all messed up, and of course, I didn't document my settings (they are now). At least the whole weekend wasn't burned, I got a bunch of work on the maker wiki done. SOON!

There was one point where I wanted to work at Shopify, their platform was interesting, I knew a number of very skilled engineers there, and the company seemed to be run by competent individuals. Over the last couple years, that's been proven to be completely wrong, I hope the smart ones leave, fast

Seems like this may be really popular! I'll pick this project back up! All you great people keep me honest, and accountable, I hopefully will have something to start with available in a week or so!

Couldnt work, cause the internet was out, so instead I wrote a script to scrape the signal and log data from my modem every minute to prove to my ISP there definitely is a signalling issue on my cable line. Completely normal activity...

What do people think about having a kinky maker site? Somewhere those of us who make things related to kink could openly share our models, plans, links to code, etc... So we can all build, contribute and share our ideas under open source and/or CC licensing?

Our IT team is incompetent. The manager should be fired. Give me the team, fuck it, I'll do management shit at this point if it means I can get this shit better.

Doing a workshop on AI DLC, "Just remember, it's likely not going to do exactly what you expect, or the same every time" Yeah, that checks, and is completely unhinged for replicatable deployment.

It's been over a month since I've worn any gear. Mind you, I did have a flu the first week of Feb, and have been recovering since, but man am I craving gear time...

Influenza A/B as well as RSV are running rampant up here in Ontario, it's probably a good time to just stay home if you aren't feeling quite right. Don't spread it around, it sucks, and you don't want any of it.

I guess that key is supposed to be an "E"

Honestly, sometimes I miss this world. Then I run terraform and miss it more when trying to figure out why my remote state is all messed up on a critical ASG and ALB, where changing it is going to tear out all your infra at once (and along with it your remaining hair). I miss hardware sometimes.

Turns out I had a flu, 2 days bed ridden and my entire mouth is a canker sore. Guess what they said about this year's flu shot being mostly ineffective was right...

Woke up and everything hurt and was still exhausted after 7.5hrs of sleep. Maybe I need to take a day or two off...

Joint statement from Kubernetes Steering and Security Response Committees: In March 2026, Kubernetes will retire Ingress NGINX, a piece of critical infrastructure for about half of cloud native environments. This is an emergency. Please pay attention. kubernetes.io/blog/2026/01...

Joining the meshtastic world

I don’t give a shit how experienced you think you are. There is no way to do BC safely, your entire focus is on risk mitigation. All. The. Fucking. Time.

"Did you change the passwords after the last IT Admin left...?" Should not have to be a question I ask at 9:20 on a Friday.

If you have to schedule a 1 hour training session on how to do performance reviews as ICs, the process is way too complicated. 2026 is the year I start looking for new opportunities.

I have a love hate relationship with writing code for kink projects. I love to see and use the finished product, but the journey to get there is so damn long... I started building the chastity key lock box project I've been thinking about for several years...
