Good article on why NFT / cryptoart is an ecological nightmare:

New release of BeatStripper fixes a bug and adds experimental Linux support. Download v4.0 from https://stuvel.eu/software/beatstripper/

BeatStripper takes your #BeatSaber party mode scores, and strips away all scores except the highest score of each player. It can also add your Solo scores!

Open your most recent file, instantly! #Blender now has an option `--open-last`, which does just that. Add it to your shortcuts or type it by hand, it's there when you need it.

`blender --open-last`

It is scary to see how many people/systems are still using #Python 2.x (the blue line in this graph). For context: it went end-of-life over a year ago.

This graph shows daily download stats of my Python RSA package. It shows 770k downloads for Python 3, and 250k are still for Python 2.

My first #drone #panorama after getting my A2 drone license! As of the start of this year, you need certification to fly drones in the EU. Makes sense, if you ask me.

My new bicycle light. It'll have a 4x4 LED matrix controlled by a microprocessor. Why buy one for cheap if you can make it yourself!
