Here are the parts it is built from

Took a few minutes to build, and in the end it is very stiff, light and long!

The hobbit pipe has a builtin cigarette filter holder and a fitted soapstone stand (I dont even smoke but found it cool haha)

The vaporizer pipe has these big slits at the bottom and holes above, meant to reduce heat. It can be heated with a flame and steams the herbs inside, no burning, ever!

But you need propane or some other clean gas, candles and butane have nasty particulates and tar inside (the bottom literally gets black) that you dont want to inhale ;)

Carved from cedar wood (the same as the mermaid)

Was a lot of fun. My favourites are absolutely the brutal axe and the katana.

For size comparison, the big bat is 11cm, the tiny katana 5cm long.

(Btw I sanded, filled and oiled that table by now, it looks amazing)

Some time ago on vacation we had this awesome cedar tree with cut off branches, so I could just cut off a little more and have perfect thick wood pieces.

I obsessed quite a lot over it (no shit I think sailors made them because they were lonely) but then figured out the wood was too dry and the arm is too short.

I could probably carve the rest with a dremel or so.

The hardest part was carving out a tilted face, surrounded by hair, wearing a hat, with an arm underneath. Holy shit, that was soo hard and I have aphantasia so my brain wasn't really able to process that, but the result is quite fine!

The process

1. Saw out the tail and rough shape

2. Carve the rough shape

3. Hips and more details

4. Belly and chest

5. Details of belly and chest

6. Shoulders, collarbones, head, the messed up hair part

7. Sailor hat, lying arm, giving up lol

(Crazy that I never shared this anywhere)

I finally made the holes big enough to actually fit my pens! Turns out, Eddings and other pens are quite huge!

It also features some custom things like a USB-Stick-holder and a headphone-jack-holder.

In the past I used it for a weird headset adapter for my Thinkpad (weird generation where mic and ground was swapped), nowadays it carries a USB-C-DAC (adapter for phones and other stupid devices)

These are the improvised tools I used!

I used "quick helix drills" to softly carve out the big holes. This worked extremely well and had no danger of cracking the wood! Can recommend.

Whatsapp is privacy invasive, and we likely know that even when using E2EE, this is possible due to metadata tracking.

An easy way to avoid one creepy thing, contact scanning and the creation of "who knows whom" social nets, is to not grant apps permission to your contacts!

But this is not easy, as apps often enforce this, just as they do with

• embedded cameras instead of using the system camera
• embedded galleries instead of the 2 available portals (but Google will soon forbid that)
• asking for unneeded permissions

Only GrapheneOS also allows blocking these permissions

• sensors
• internet
• loading code from memory i.e. from the internet (why would they do that? Is there something they want to hide?)
• debugging their own code to spy on the system behavior

But this app can help everyone on any Android to at least fix this :)

Hey there! I want to get some Monero in exchange for cash via post.

I used Localmonero in the past, and I have my wallet.

But now I want to use Haveno and get XMR from there.

Interestingly there is still no Flatpak, so I compiled the app from source and ran the haveno-desktop app.

I think I understood that the Haveno application and devs dont bundle a network. Instead they say "use a 3rd party installer" (for a network? P2P I guess).

So the network is not just a list of connections and Haveno is a peer, but it needs an additional application?

What networks do you know that are good? Looking for something in Europe.

I also read that Haveno is now "mainnet ready". What does this mean?

Hey ihr!

Ich hab ADHS und hab mit Arbeit und Medis (die Stimulieren) mal nen "Entzug probiert", war kein Problem für paar Wochen aber mir hat irgendwie so diese sehr starke Entspannung gefehlt.

Auch fürs Gehirn, einfach nach nem Hochpunkt an Arbeit mal richtig gönnen, zB Feierabend am Freitag etc. Ich hab das Gefühl dass Cannabis mir so einfach Vorteile bringt.

Mein Cannabiskonsum ist recht unproblematisch, ich mag den körperlichen Effekt sehr (ich merke dann wenn ich Sport machen sollte und gehe einfach joggen etc).

Aber das High ist halt schon nicht optimal. Oft zu stark und ich krieg dann weniger gebacken.

Würde gerne mal eine resistente, aromatische Pflanze mit "normal viel THC" (1-2%) und viel CBD probieren. Die "nur-CBD" Sorten müssen ja übernatürlich runtergezüchtet werden und würden sich dann bei Auswilderung wieder hocharbeiten.

Auch feminisiert ist eher so meh, reguläre machen einen halt weniger abhängig von überteuerten Samenhändlern.

An Aromen mag ich alles, Schokolade, Caryophyllen, Citrusfrüchte, etc.

Kennt wer eine Sorte die bisschen "indica lastig" ist, mit der ihr gute Erfahrungen gemacht habt?

Und zur Legalität, kann man "nur CBD Pflanzen" also unter der Mindestgrenze THC (0,1% oder so?) beliebig viel anbauen? Zusätzlich zu THC?
