Why is the internet overflowing with rubbish ads – and what can we do about it? in c/technology@lemmy.world

Don't people use ad blockers? If not, learn how to use one instead to complain.

I hope you don't have any plans this evening. in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Time to paint a new sign, methinks.

Aber "ad hominem" macht Dich zu einem besseren Menschen? Mann, bist Du peinlich.

Meinst Du etwa, das hat noch keiner versucht in Neufünfland?

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Must be the church St. Pancratius, built somewhere between 1100 and 1120.

The second-oldest building here is probably the remains of the castle of the poem "The castled crag of Drachenfels" by Lord Byron.

I love how this woman thinks!

NYPD can't find knife at center of Brooklyn subway bystander shooting in c/news@lemmy.world

You’re very right - There are famously ZERO tourists from other countries in New York City that could be struck by these stray bullets from these cowardly police officers.

Any tourist visiting the US should be aware of the risk of getting shot. Either accidently by the police or drive-by-shootings, or intentional by gang violence or "stand-your-ground" idiots that shoot everyone passing by who "is not from here". Visiting the US is like eating Fugu - it is a calculated risk.

Trump rushes to fundraise off second assassination bid in c/politics@lemmy.world

Other presidential candidates in the past had topics like "society", "taxes", "peace", "employment", etc.

Trump obviously only has the topics "immigrants bad" and "I've been shot at".

Just replace Trump voters with sane people.

For me, that was the signal to end playing Minecraft.

Sometimes, project requirements are shitty from the start. This one definitely is.

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (lemmy.world)
 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Wrote my first longer Python program (lemmy.world)
 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

Anyone else thinking that the new Eldorado Fortress is too expensive? (lemmy.world)
 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
