Re: Laser cut puzzles?

by Dennis Payne

Probably not helpful to you but I've used piczzle.com to create a wooden puzzle. Obviously this isn't as immediate as doing it locally. Probably also costs more. In my case I commissioned the image for the puzzle. Attached is a picture of it in progress. It is approximately 28"x20" when complete. -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi

Laser cut puzzles?

by John Stoffel

Guys, Anyone have a lead to where I could get a puzzle design cut out with a laser from either thick cardboard or thin plywood? But I also want to engrave a message on the puzzle pieces before they're cut out. I've been looking into inkscape pluggins for this and I think I've got one I can use, it's now finding someone/place with the right equipment. Any ideas? The message would just be text, maybe some simple graphics. Nothing crazy, but the entire idea is to make the message into a puzzle to be put together. John

Re: Wacom One with Pressure Sensitivity

by Joshua Stone

I wonder how much GIMP has improved in recent years. Last I checked, its gtk3 port was only recently completed (many applications have moved onto gtk4 and gtk5 is being planned already), and native Wayland support is still a work-in-progress: Non-destructive editing is also not expected to be available for a long time: https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/#gimp-30-development-branch-roadmap Good to see that it's usable with a tablet though! My wife has used GIMP before for drawing, but these days she prefers using Krita. It seems like the content creation story has a long way to go on Linux, but it might not be too long before features like HDR land: https://emersion.fr/blog/2023/hdr-hackfest-wrap-up/ https://pointieststick.com/2023/05/20/this-week-in-kde-preliminary-hdr-supp… - Josh On Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 2:51 PM Dennis Payne via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I bought a used Wacom One a while ago.

Wacom One with Pressure Sensitivity

by Dennis Payne

I bought a used Wacom One a while ago. It is a drawing tablet (not a standalone tablet as it needs to hook up to a computer). It has an display that you can use the stylus on. You can find some examples of my bad art on mastodon: https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/110/413… https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/110/469… Recently I finally determined how to turn on the pressure sensitivity in gimp. If you go to Edit->Input Devices, you can enable "xwayland- tablet stylus". (Obviously it probably has a different name if you aren't using wayland.) Once enabled the "Dynamics" setting in Tool Options takes effect. You can choose from a large variety of options. For example, "Basic Dynamics" makes pressure affect opacity and velocity affect size. I've been using "Pressure Size" which simply makes pressure affect the size of the pencil (or other tool). It probably hard to tell from this scaled down image but the lines for the eyebrows have a different thickness from the larger outer lines. I used to have to edit the tool settings to do that so this is nicer. I'm sure a trained artist could produce better output. https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/110/510… -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting tonight! Time: 7PM Date: June 8th, 2023 !!LOCATION CHANGE!! WE will be meeting in the Morgan student center. I think the best option is to meet on the quad side of Morgan until we can get let in. Cara has reserved a conference room. Virtual location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Cara Salter is going to show off her flipper zero. If you don't know what the flipper zero is, you're in for a treat. You can check it out here: https://flipperzero.one/ As they call it, it's a multitool for geeks. As usual, I'll have snacks and refreshments and afterwards we'll head off for dinner.

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this Thursday! Date: June 8th, 2023 Time: 7pm Location: WPI, still working out the room details Topic: Flipper Zero (hopefully), Otherwise, NixOS. At our last meeting, Cara spoke briefly about bring her Flipper Zero to show off. I managed to blow up my laptop with a failed Ubuntu upgrade and decided to experiment with NixOS. So I can show that off as well. Snacks and Refreshments will be provided and we'll do dinner afterwards.

The Oracle web pages that I have read do not say much about the operating system that is booted in a cloud "instance". What is it an instance of? Do I have to have an installation boot.iso to copy it to the cloud computer? Do they boot an OS before I log in? Do I get a choice? Digital Ocean mentions Debian Linux in the "Self Guided Tour" (some web pages linked together with "Next->" buttons), but on the Oracle web pages, I can't find any mention of any OS, Distribution, or software other that Oracle Database, which is not something I need. I have put some questions about ssh at: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/none/final.html#SSH > This sounds like a good WLUG topic: Getting Started with the Cloud. > How to open a Cloud account, install and manage Linux, IP addresses, > firewall rules, etc. I'd like to see that. Unfortunately, I am unlikely to actually go to WPI. Is there something I can read? Are all "Cloud accounts" about the same? I guess it's been almost two decades since I compiled a kernel to find a bug, but it seems like it all changed overnight. -- Keith
