Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 14/10/2026If I were to create my own small local model, it would start having seen no data. I then use only my own work to train it, it is for some very technical niche stuff, then is that something to oppose? The models will run on very light hardware and not be using kilowatts of power. 100
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I have a question regarding the general opposition to AI. I understand most of it is about them being trained on stolen works, and that makes sense to me. I also understand the point about data centres destroying communities and that also makes sense. I am more interested in smaller, local models. 100
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I am making an effort today, but sometimes it feels like it doesn’t matter. Still wrong. 000

Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And why do people work so hard at breaking things, then pretend they didn’t mean it and can mr technician fix it, even when mr technician told them it wouldn’t be repairable if they did it? So tired of this life now. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There has to be a better way to exist than this? I’m running out of any desire to keep going. I was just coming to terms with my nothingness and then *bam*! And the consequences of me being ignored lead to someone getting hurt and I have to come home to the mess. How do people manage to keep going? 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Someone in a Facebook electronics group is extolling the virtues of soldering onto crimp terminals. I am going to call the police. 000

Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wide field is good too, I got my favourite pictures around 50mm or so. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Oh, astrophotography? Can I see some of your images? 110
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I don’t know where I am going with this, just screaming into the void really, but I get it, and it can be a very seductive solution. 010
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Often the active ignorance hurts the most, not that passive ignorance is ok, but we are minimised and disregarded if we ever do express emotional needs. Often we feel we are there simply as a technician in our spouses lives. Either we conform or we are man babies. 110
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026And other thing, the male loneliness epidemic and middle aged male suicide rates are often under scrutiny, but often the takeaways is that men don’t talk about their feelings. But often men are actively ignored, our feelings just get in the way of the people who are supposed to love us. 120
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What’s absolute fucking nuts is someone can claim to be an emo but be utterly deaf to the words “I’m not ok” 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So how do people actually deal with it when it become clear you mean shit all? Words are empty when you are obviously the very last thing that someone would care about. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Btw, those trains show up on our vibration tests. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I work in a lab. I am an electronic engineer. I am a nerd. I outdid myself yesterday though, I heard a train on the line that runs past our lab and could tell from the sound it was a class 37. Proudly announced so, went to the window and there was a class 37. That nerd trophy will be mine. 130
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Microwave has died. Thermal fuse is ok, so is HV fuse. Must be the magnetron, and I ain’t messing with that.static.klipy.comMuppet Beaker Gets Electric ShockALT: Muppet Beaker Gets Electric Shock 010

Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I have to ask, was Owen Owen just a Cov thing? Never saw it anywhere else. Also, I wonder if this is someone I went to school with…. 410
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Sometimes I wish I could switch my autism off for a brief window as it could save me time. An example is that right now I am scanning, colour correcting, colour space analysing and faffing over a set of 60 acrylic markers. A normal person would just go ‘Yeah, looks ok’ whereas I need a spreadsheet. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Anyone able to help identify this chilli plant? It’s the one I lost the label to in the spring. I haven’t tried one yet so not sure how hot they are. #Chilli #HotPepper 010
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Tech companies please note. If I am logging in on a device without email access, don’t require that the authentication link requires the same device. We have carried multiple devices since about mid 16th century, or at least most of the 21st. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 29/08/2026My PETG went from bright and cheery to shitting itself in the space of two thunderstorms. 😫 #3DPrinting 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I think they are finding limits to their power, hence these stupid tantrums. 030
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Also knocked this up in FreeCAD, it’s a pen holder for the Cricut Air 2 and will hold acrylic markers. 020
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Weekend starts in four minutes, already fixed @aelfida.bsky.social’s usb lamp in her office. I hate USB-A power delivery though, the connectors always overheat. Slowly moving all my 5V USB powered devices to a different connector. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 25/08/2026So masking tape on the edges of the aida seems to help, the cloth is sitting square rather than wonky. #CrossStitch 1111
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Here is my #CrossStitch #WipWednesday, included is the scroll frame I knocked up and printed. 080

Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 19/08/2026So the cricut I pulled from an e-waste bin works, I just knocked up a power supply and used the accessories my friends bought for me. I tested with an SVG. 030
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Have you tried letting other people exist? It might make you feel less angry. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 16/08/2026First iteration, the clips for the aida need a bit more grip but happy so far. Thank you 🙂 110
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I was after some M5 machine screws for my scroll frame , I found some 18V 5A buck-boost controllers instead. Can’t be many people in that overlap of the Venn diagram for random rusty screws, cross stitch, and power control ICs. 000
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Last week I got that Cricut out the bin. I was speaking to my friends about it last night explaining I needed to get some accessories for it to test. Today we received a random delivery of a Cricut accessory pack. Good friends know how to lift you up ❤️ 020
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Yeah, the thing I was thinking of. Do the rollers tighten up and lock in place? 100
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I’m designing a 3D printed scroll frame for my #CrossStitch, but I’m not sure if my idea of what they are is correct. I’m looking at two cylinders that wrap the fabric around them, then wind it back and forth to centre where you are working. If anyone uses one, can you post a picture of it please? 110
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Joking aside, we didn’t actually have any safety glasses so we did a pinhole projector, this is what we got. 060
Aethelstan 2X4B @aethelstan2x4b.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Quick print to test out a scroll frame idea. 000
