07:26 PM andypugh: I think it is linuxcnc.gif, the banner that pops up first? https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/linuxcnc.gif
08:07 PM Unterhausen: whoever decided that light text on a light background was a good idea can step on a lego as far as I'm concerned
08:08 PM Unterhausen: fortunately the world has come around to my point of view, for the most part
08:08 PM XXCoder: yeah few years was very bad on what I call "white virus"
08:08 PM XXCoder: way too light color text on white
08:08 PM Unterhausen: and also, I got cataract surgery, partially because of the light text everywhere
08:09 PM andypugh: Though the text in question is something that we don’t necessarily expect anyone to read.
08:10 PM Unterhausen: nobody reads the lcnc website at all, if the evidence on the internet is to be believed
08:11 PM Unterhausen: maybe I'm just being bitter because people ask questions where I know there is an answer, but can't quite remember what it is
08:23 PM CaptHindsight: the prevalence of not reading in general
08:35 PM bjorkintosh: Unterhausen, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-reader-view-clutter-free-web-pages
08:35 PM bjorkintosh: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reader-view/ecabifbgmdmgdllomnfinbmaellmclnh?pli=1
08:36 PM bjorkintosh: no need to keep suffering when solutions abound.
08:37 PM bjorkintosh: unfortunately the page reading option hasn't caught up with the latest in large language models.
08:37 PM bjorkintosh: but that option also exists.
09:05 PM roycroft: the fog is back
09:05 PM roycroft: and tonight is longest night
09:05 PM roycroft: the solstice is in 23 minutes
09:10 PM XXCoder: fun
09:10 PM XXCoder: my sis in law had to delay trip back due to heavy fog yeserday
09:11 PM XXCoder: she have returned by now
09:52 PM * roycroft is making plans for the 2 seconds of extra daylight he'll get on saturday
09:52 PM XXCoder: good to see it used in full
09:53 PM roycroft: we have so little daylight this time of year we need to take advantage of all of it
09:53 PM XXCoder: I get even less than you due to being more north
09:53 PM roycroft: oh lord
09:54 PM roycroft: matthias wandel just got a metal lathe
09:54 PM roycroft: his upcoming machining videos should be somewhat entertaining, and certainly cringeworthy on a recurring basis
09:54 PM XXCoder: I bet. when I reviewed woodgears site, I saw that
09:56 PM roycroft: and about 1 minute into the video he's already making wooden parts for the lathe
09:57 PM XXCoder: what a surpise lol
09:58 PM roycroft: yeah, and his parting tool is a 7" angle grinder
09:58 PM roycroft: with no towels over the ways while he's grinding
09:58 PM XXCoder: cringe
10:00 PM roycroft: i'm not going to make it through the whole video, but i do want to see if it keeps going downhill or not
10:01 PM XXCoder: lol ill watch it later
10:02 PM roycroft: and the chuck key is sticking out the side of the chuck
10:02 PM * roycroft declares that it will continue going downhill until the end, and stops watching
10:03 PM XXCoder: i stopped following woodgears quite a while ago
10:03 PM XXCoder: felt quality dropped pretty hard then
10:05 PM XXCoder: bit rough cutting
10:07 PM XXCoder: he used cover on ways
10:08 PM XXCoder: geez couldnt watch it in full
10:09 PM XXCoder: he didnt dial in the lathe, I guess depends on how precise he want parts
11:05 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> andypugh (@_discord_570544700189179906:jauriarts.org) its linked to something, then when you have a file in your config folder named "logo.gif"
11:07 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> then when you click on that ini file in the config chooser, it prints "using image path/to/config/logo.gif"
11:07 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> its suppossed to do some kind of preview image somewhere or something
