To all the creative people out there – anyone have any idea what type of software could be used to create a drawing like this? I want to make a cut-away view inside a building. All I have is a floor plan.

@Alligator Blender should be able to handle something like this.

Replied to Life is an Experiment and I’m not in the Control Group – (alligator.micro.blog)

It’s been a few years since I used Samsung Dex. After watching a video of it, it looks impressive. Unfortunately, I use an iPhone. Why can’t we use our phones as computers? I’d love to just plug my phone in at work or at home and not have to carry a laptop.

My alternative is to switch to Android, and then I could use Dex. But iMessage has a lock on everyone in our family, so I would be the odd one out. I want to fit in, yet I also desire to try new things.

@Alligator I’m glad I got most of my family off apple a few years ago.The ecosystem and apps are great but there’s so little room for fun tweaking. I’ve had my eyes on Dex and Ubuntu’s convergence for a while too. For now though, I’m happy with my modular workstation setup. Another stream of thought…

Our Swan Plant had one microscopic Monarch caterpillar on it when a friend offered to bring some of her surplus caterpillars round. Of course I accepted. Hers are much much bigger.

@Miraz Beautiful! Reminded me of the Monarch butterfly and this terrific paragliding expedition – Memory transcending generations!

Replied to Installing Trilium Notes by by Srikanth Perinkulam

I wrote this guide initially for the Hetzner community. Posting here for posterity.
Trilium Notes is a hierarchical note taking application with focus on building large personal knowledge bases. See the Trilium Github page for more details. In this tutorial we will deploy a Trilium instance to insta…

While walking someone through a few features of Trilium notes, I realized the Trilium notes electron app is really good! Besides the offline-first feature it provides, it also lets me have an additional backup of the notes. And then I also figured, I did have to tweak the volume configuration in my yaml a bit…

After going back to Google Photos + Drive, I decided to give NextCloud a try again, but this time self-hosted. My initial impressions are in this blog post:
https://ndanes.com/blog/2021/06/11/trying-nextcloud/
(It’s been mostly good so far!)

@ndanes@smallcamp.art I’ve had absolutely zero issues using [nextcloudpi](https://ownyourbits.com/nextcloudpi/#supported_systems). Silently been chugging along for a few years now with auto-updates and close to zero manual intervention. For the maps alternative, I’ve had my eyes on [Magic earth](https://www.magicearth.com/)
