While waiting for paint to dry, I had a small Unity cry-session and started rebuilding my avatar for 2026 using the latest packages and shader versions. Oh boy, @warrenwolfy.bsky.social has been busy, the new fur shader worked really well for the hair! #VRChat

These bastards took me multiple days to get right but I think I managed. Soon more assembly streem!

Reminder to update your Bluetooth headphone's firmware, theres probably a bug that allows a random person to follow you around on Google's find-my network. whisperpair.eu

Went shopping a bit today. Turns out Vienna has really good specialty stores for makers! Like a huge art supply store, a chemical supplier that sells to consumers, and a store that only sells spray paints. Gave them a failed 3D print and they gave me a color-matched spray can for 4€!

My first try printing ABS was a success, the parts turned out really well. Also turns out that I like the sweet, poisonous smell of the styrene emitted during printing, the smell of progress. It's like the sick pleasure from the smell you get when pumping gasoline.

I've been streaming again, good to see new people joining! Welcome here if you're new 💛

Just received the last shipment of #Voron parts, shipments weighing in at a whopping 39.2 kg! Of that, 250 g was dedicated to gummy bears. That gives a gummy bear to printer kit ratio of approximately 0.0064, or 2.7 gummy bears per kilo of printer kit.

Sometimes I thank myself for thinking ahead. Looks like the battery I selected to power my #Protogen is just under the limit, so I can take it on an airplane. With 10% more capacity, I'd have to leave it behind 👀

@dickeyxd.bsky.social every time I enter his stream chat.

Completed the frame and this thing is super sturdy. Looking forward to continuing the build! #Voron #3DPrinter

The mailman dropped me a new flatpack 👀

Product idea for a smart-home startup: a screen that displays the square meters of your house multiplied by the room height, an Indoor Air Quantity Monitor, if you will.

New logic brain for #GLaDOS: Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM, a heatsink, and an SSD connected via PCIe. This will host her brain logic on #n8n and vector databases in #Qdrant.

Finally managed to complete VR room calibration and set up the dongle hell for full-body tracking. After over half a year without VRChat, it looks like I've lost my VR legs and the VR neck, which are needed for the 1.6kg Varjo XR-3 Pipe Bomb Edition.

Unbelievably, am online! Come hang out. www.twitch.tv/nerdaxic

I've tried to get my hands on a #PrusaXL for over two months, but failed due to communication and issues with B2B-billing. Cancelled the order. Instead, I ordered a Voron V2.4 r2 350mm kit, which I'll upgrade to multi-toolhead. Soon I can print huge foam parts and #Protogen helmets in one piece.

Still in Finland; the flight was cancelled last minute as many planes were stuck in Lapland due to the storm, and they didn't have the Airbus for the morning flight. Oh well. Better burn the lounge access points on my credit card. New flight booked with a change in Munich. yle.fi/a/74-20201613

Last time I visited my mom, I set up a password manager for her so she wouldn't keep passwords on paper or have to remember them. She lost the master password 😭

Since we have the starter pack support, here's a couple Tech oriented VTubers I can highly recommend to check out~ #VTuber #vsky go.bsky.app/N526o1w

Christmas at home, in a food coma. May the insulin be ever in your goddamn favor!

'Tis the season! Heading back to Finland tomorrow for Christmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SVP...

Learning more #Blender for more advanced shitposting...

Shower thought: Coal exists because microbes took ages to learn to process lignin found in plant tissue. What if #microplastics are our lignin? Microbes will learn that too via evolution, and we are already making GMOs to speed it up. What happens when plastic-eating #bacteria live in our soils 🤔

I just realized I can listen to techno again. Shiva is at my mom's place. She hated the genre and turned all anxious from it. Drama-queen.

Finnish news this week: Finnair reports harm to its Asian operations after Finnish MPs posted racist gestures. The Prime Minister apologized in three Asian languages. The city of Savonlinna is spreading asbestos-containing sand on icy roads to prevent slipping. 20 hours of sunlight during December.

Labubu trend is officially over. It never reached the popularity of covid-19, but was a strong competitor for fidget spinners, 8 years apart.

At last, my right arm is complete! Gear unboxed, setup and calibrated, cinema is ready. Who’s up for #nerdaplex and chill? 🎬

If the Titanic was originally in HDR they would have seen the iceberg.

Learning to do 4K HDR in #Blender. Here's something I'm working on! Shit ain't gonna post itself, so let me cook.

Computer says I have been a #YouTuber for 15 years today. Woop. Celebrate with complete season 1 of The nerdaxic Show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHRC...

I’ve somehow gotten it into my head to build a true random number generator (aka digital dice) using a fire alarm, Geiger tube, and an embedded microcontroller. Someone talk me out of it before I create e-waste that’s also radioactive.

Digging through project archives, probably the most badass looking piece of gear I've made. Tactical leg-harness for @specterkitsune.bsky.social. Badge by @illumicyberwear.bsky.social

First time in 14 years without #Wrapped. I stopped using #Spotify and switched to #PlexAmp, where I can listen to music I’ve bought from my favorite artists, #lossless. Special thanks to the artists who still deliver in DRM-free digital files, you have deserved my money.

Here is a shortlist I've compiled how you can recognize AI-images (for now). Re-post if you find this helpful!

#GIF was originally for furry porn, so it’s pronounced “yiff.” #JPEG comes from the French “j’peg,” meaning “I peg.” Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Every grown-ass human needs children's bandaids in stock. These won't make you cry when you eventually have to peel them from arm-hair. As added bonus if you give one to your guest, it makes them smile. #shrinkflation

Made it home, slept almost 12h without moving at all. Woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. I needed that.

"It's not fetish gear if you own a motorbike" - 2025 @dashfulfox.bsky.social

Lone fox, headed back to Vienna from the middle of Finland. New page in life turns.

This is why I left Finland. The authority handling social benefits and pensions is closing its own data centers and moving data processing to the Salesforce cloud. So all social, medical, and historic personal data gets transferred to a conglomerate outside the borders. www.kela.fi/eepos-procur...

Okay GLaDOS, add Steam Frame to my shopping list.

A long-awaited package arrived! Ruuvi.com air quality sensor. Will be unboxing, first experiences, and setting it up on stream later today 👀

n8n is a ridiculously powerful tool. In an hour, I set my server's GPU to babysit the 3D printer and let me know if there's a spaghetti incident or something. All locally, no internet connection needed.

I am super tempted to order one of these Unifi AI-cameras that work locally, and 3D-print the portal themed shell for it. Using for example facial recognition for GLaDOS to comment on when you walk in :P

Am actually quite smol.

Delete my Instagram account again. I did this previously seven years ago, but Meta sent me a password recovery link which worked and my profile and old messages were there. I guess delete doesn't mean delete for them...

Goddamn daylight saving time. Cat requires food an hour early. Come on, EU, fix this.

Had a blob-related incident which destroyed my 3D printer. Let's attempt to fix it on stream so we can continue the robotic arm! twitch.tv/nerdaxic

I tossed a supercomputer at furry inflation: Furry-con CPI (YoY 2021→2025) 🇺🇸 USA 17,92% 🇪🇺 Europe 13,33% 🇨🇦 Canada 25,00% 📈 Average 18,33% This means that the convention prices rise 4,6 times faster than the consumer price indexes.

I realized my #GLaDOS can access my OctoPrint server, that is controlling my 3D printer. With polycarbonate in the multi-material unit, she could emit endocrine disruptors. With ABS there is styrene vapor. I don't use PVC filament, so it can't access hydrochloric acid or phosgene.
