Making any progress, you slackers? Tell us about it!

Let’s hear it. No project too big or too small.

If you need advice that particular kind of DIY, feel free to post here and tag me or DM me directly. Hopefully I can be very helpful to some of you folks who either can’t afford to pay expensive mechanics or want to learn on your own....

A discussion happening over on beehaw about problems with federation and moderation, and on fundamental issues with Lemmy itself, and what would go into making a fork vs starting something new.

Update:...

I scanned the wrench on a regular document scanner and used the siluette to get the optimum hook shape. It worked incredibly well and it sits perfectly. Thats important because I don’t want the tools to raddle every time someone slams the door or I open a window.

I’m building 90s themed arcade In my shed… but I still want to keep a little workshop area so I’m splitting my shed into 3 rooms including the attic/upstairs....

I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual....

This is a repost from a recipe I posted on r/archery:...
