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

I think this might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen NO ADOBE I DONT WANT TO TURN MY BANK STATEMENT INTO A FUCKING PODCAST ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW

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

worth noting for the copy text, some platforms (e.g. discord) don't make the url clickable without the https:// prefix!

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.

Lmao! Well, I can say with confidence that a UK-based Air Arms TX200 is absolutely 110% worth it, it's the best one I've ever used.

I feel like H3VR2 is almost a case study on the benefits of prototyping. Like, the amount of crazy cool stuff you guys have been able to build by using H3VR1 as a giga-prototype / template is super cool to see. It's like all the mechanics I mostly already know but just SO MUCH more polished

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.

And we're done! I'm really quite proud of this, even though the blueing could be better, the finish could be shinier, the scope could be better etc. etc., this was such a fun project and such a tonic to do something practical for a change.
How it startedHow it's going

Finishing touches - I got these replacement (used, but better condition) screws with fixing washers which were mostly absent in the original set on the left, they're less stripped and deeper in black colour.
Old screws and one washer on the left, new screws and 3 washers on the right

Instead I went with this much smaller but similarly capable vector optics. I don't particularly like the styling for this older rifle and I'll probably look for something else down the line but it gets the job done.
A far too tacticool scope for such an old rifle

Jay Faulkner @jukibom.bsky.social · 02/07/2026
One thing I never touched on is the scope - it came with this, let's say... budget offering. A Centre Point 4x32 CP4032. It's not great, and I wanted something better - unfortunately, the lovely Nikko Sterling scope I got for this build was 2mm too long to open the barrel with. Sods law.
A kind of crap scope. Gets the job done but uh, anything that needs a screwdrive to adjust elevation is no bueno in my book

After blueing (same process as before), it took on this lovely polished metallic charcoal look.
