Personally I don’t but my grandpa was electronics engineer by trade and hobby and I was also talking to some electronics engineers in my previous job when I was toying with the idea myself. In both cases for home projects they were etching the paths by covering the plate with laser printer ink. When you get really good at that you can even get into SMD range of path width. The higher part of the range - you can’t outdo machine ECB printing if you want to get the paths really narrow - but workable.

1. print your paths on regular paper. The more DPI, the better
2. clean the empty board
3. use hot iron (like the one for clothes) to transfer laser printer ink from the paper to the board
4. take the paper off
5. inspect the paths, apply some marker (or wax, I think? I might misremember) in places where it’s not perfect
6. etch the board

Although, some of my colleagues at work were saying that at the prices you can order an ECB to be printed nowadays (for hobby better to find something local, so you have easier contact and shipping won’t cost you a leg) it’s not worth the hassle anymore. Pick the business which page looks like from the 90s. You are looking for electrical engineering veterans so they know more about electronics than webpages

You might want to search for your local hackerspace. For sure they have it all figured out for the area they operate in

That I don’t know. I haven’t been looking into one-board computers for a while. The one I bought ~10 years ago was running out of juice when I was trying to run Kodi on it last year. Wifi shouldn’t be a problem IMO, I’ve been using mine as torrent downloader and hosted a few university projects (dynamic web apps) on it. The graphics might. I would guess that as long as you find one with decent specs (so probably not the 10$ one) it should work. I’m sure there’s someone who is doing exactly that and either could answer what to buy/look for or wrote a blog about it

I haven’t gotten to it for myself but I think Kodi+something like RaspberryPI is your solution

EDIT: or just install a Linux on some one-board computer or old laptop and check how HDMI-CEC is working. You’ll need to install virtual keyboard too

I did. I don’t get how the creation of the breed was the illegal part and not the creating “shooting range”

The breeding itself? Because these are wild? Or do you need some license to breed animals?

Cloning giant sheep from poached ones sounds kinda like a supervillain and I now want to clone my own army of poached animals

Oh yeah, I’m impressed that it works so well that he only needed like pieces from one killed animal to succeed

Captive animal facilities where game species can be raised and hunted were banned in Montana under a 2000 ballot initiative

I think they took too big swig from twistonium bottle. Instead of “guy was organizing an illegal thing and it turned out he jumped through quite a few hoops to get to that point”, they made it sound like the breeding part was bad

Yes, I can. But you need much more to accomplish this

1. You need reach: are there any mods/admins that would feel ok with vouching for your abilities? And preferably have info about your proposal stickied on a bunch of communities where it could reach people open to chip in?
2. You need to convince those you reach that you’re not a Nigerian Prince. Mod/Admin saying you’re legit could help with it but maybe there’s something more you could do to convince the public?
   Maybe I simply don’t know who you are, maybe in reality you are second in command after Dessalines. But either you are a random dev saying “I can do that” - in this case you need to somehow convince others that you really can. Or you are not recognised for your work - in this case you need to point us to what tie you to. I saw the fedi project on your GitHub so you probably can code (I’m not going to be auditing your project in order to asses your skills, sorry). But are you just a dreamer or are you serious?
   I’m sorry if what I’m saying sounds harsh. I just feel that how you are coming through to the other side gets lost in translation here
3. GitHub is not the most popular support medium. Why not also have Patreon/Koffi/OpenCollective/etc? Many will chip in easier if they’re already present on the platform

There are other communities too

Maybe I’m going to do something, maybe I’m not. Why the demanding tone?

I also think that grassroots economy would work better for many things. But we’re not there, the world doesn’t work like that ATM. Wish for 10% of people to contribute is very optimistic IMO.
You need much wider spread, and for me (for example) your tool is the only thing that gives you any credibility. If there are others like me, you might be missing clout for a call to support like that to simply just work

24h for people to react to a comment in some post?

I think you under-advertised your proposal

“updoot”

Clear what you’re referencing, IMO flows nicely and AFAIK (IANAL) isn’t a trademark

Well, it is the state the hobby is in general, not only Lemmy.

Thanks for letting me know about Fully Automated, I’ll check it out

Regarding Shadowrun itself, I’m interested in Lore discussions, GM discussions not about the mechanics (i e. “how do I portray Johnny Spinrad hiring our group? Tee Hee turned out wrong”), reviews of campaign/mission books, etc

I’m also interested in general GMing content like the “onion plots”, “lazy gm” approach or “how to do combat like a dolphin”

Since you chose that comment to ask your question, I’ll expand on what I’m complaining about. Content I have problem with is a title that sounds like it might be the general advice but then suddenly “this monster has the following stats, so that’s how you put it against your players in a smart way”. It’s great that it exists and I’m sure anyone playing D&D can take a lot from articles like this. But it’s of no use for me and from my perspective there’s a lot of content like this.
Hence in general I tend to avoid the “general RPG” spaces because most of the links I find there turn out to be not for me, and only after I start reading. And I get it that it might sound over the top that I complain about needlessly reading a paragraph or two. But with the amount of backlog that I have, the proportions of what topics interest me vs those which don’t and the rate at which unread content grows - yes, every click counts for me

Eaten by the feeling of responsibility

Thank you for the offer but I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to become a moderator. Let’s see what time brings

Maybe you’re right

I just wish content creators would start marking that they’re going to write something D&D-specific, as they do with other systems. Very often the title and first paragraph looks like “general GM piece” only to turn to “5E stats” (as if there was only one 5E in the world) in the second one

It’s a pity. I was hoping it would get bigger with time.

My problem with “generic rpg” communities is that most of the content is focused on D&D/Medieval/High Fantasy that I’m not really interested in.

Thanks for the input, anyway :)

It doesn’t have to be hamsters

Well, they also were after stability

Good. Let the data flow freely
