Finally got round to giving a self-hosted @fluxer.app a go. Went remarkably well! The one issue I hit up against was fixed and deployed within like 2 hours of reporting, and the app is really great to use. I can see this being THE alternative in a short time

least silly unity thing
unity advice on splash screens informing the developer to first uncheck the unity logo AND set the unity logo to 1x1 pixel texture before disabling splash screens, presumably because it still loads in the background

The end result of several hours spent on such a small part of the build was one of the most satisfying things I think I've ever done. Weird how that works out.

Is it accurate? No. Is the trigger light and crisp? Good lord, no. Ah, but is it powerful? Also, no. But it's mine, and it provided me with such a much-needed mental health break to work on it, and I will be forever grateful for that.

Fitting that spring was THE sketchiest, scariest thing I've ever done, requiring balancing the cylinder / spring / pin guide tool inside a sash clamp and carefully tightening it until the spring goes in. It went in, EVENTUALLY, with four hours of pain and suffering.
A whole bunch of incredibly scary things attached to a ridiculously strong spring in a vice that could (and did, multiple times) ping out at any second with the force of an angry god.

0/10 do not recommend.

I'm not sure who will read this as it's not what I usually post, but recently I really needed to mentally disconnect from the [world nightmares of your choice], disappear and do SOMETHING with my hands for a while... I chose to refurbish this old Birmingham (low power, very UK legal!) air rifle 🧵

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

I feel like AI is like watching the death of hundreds of art-forms simultaneously Like, yeah okay google being able to generate a stop motion video of how proteins work is superficially impressive but hasn't it just made all actual stop motion less engaging?

Turns out springy things that work with BOTH physics and non-physics (e.g. animation) motion are a huge pain in the butt but I'm super happy with the result :D
