I met him at a train station. He was a junkie, did not recognize me, and begged for money.

Who would have thought that a Nazi supports Nazis?

Either sloppy and overcooked on the outside, or raw in the center. Choose only one option.

So basically development toys.

How long will it take for civilized countries to finally ban X?

That's why no official service should use commercial social media.

Get rid of Trump first.

Well, yes. The usual way pandemics start: Some new virus "crossbreeds" with an established one.

I bet that most mobile bollards won't withstand serious ramming power. Like a truck and some speed.

Ahh, ancient history. Before the decline and fall part.

It does run Linux, but it would probably more precise to say it walks Linux.

Just like Hitler. He got 33%.

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

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?

 

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 But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for.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.

 

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

 

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.
