  • I can cut 'em down, just shoot me a link

  • HOLY SHIT IT IS HE

  • Is there more to this archive? Posts seem to cut off right at Sat Dec 31 2022 23:42:15 GMT+0000, which is suspiciously close to the end of a year.

  • This is fucking sick. Once we have the images, we have the full archive, and it'll just be a matter of importing the data.

  • As much as I like the Photon frontend, it has a huge bug where new signups have a good chance of getting a false "Failed to verify email" page. It was a huge problem at launch.

  • DB never misses

  • This thing's so fuckin sexy. Stubbs is really good at making these things aesthetically pleasing.

  • Yeah probably lol. Done, I'll take it down in a couple days

  • There is a matrix room for GunCAD Mirror, where you can discuss with users who host instances of it and see if they can pull files for you. Matrix Space here, room's a subchannel of that.

    @OKB_69_Official@forum.guncadindex.com might also be able to assist, I know he mentioned at one point in time he was in touch with the guy.

  • Go for it. I can't say as I'd personally be able to contribute to conversation, but I see no issue housing that sort of discussion here.

  • Yeah, I'll hook it into the same automated infrastructure that made this post.

  • Just boils down to figuring out locking geometry, yeah

  • DEFCAD told you they could monetize your file that you licensed under CreativeCommons-Attribution-NonCommercial-4.0 Intl?

    Disclaimer: IANAL.

    Your artwork is being used to incentivize users to pay DEFCAD's subscription fee in order to access the file. That's clear violation of 1.i in the text of your license which defines NonCommercial as "not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation". Using your design to entice users into paying a subscription for access is absolutely using it for monetary compensation. That's like arguing that GamePass advertising that they have Halo is noncommercial use of the Halo IP.

    They're either seriously mistaken or willfully malicious. Getting into a legal pissing match with them is signing up for a lot, but you can also submit a DMCA at Cloudflare -- their CDN -- if they're electing to give you the runaround.

  • Hi!

    1. Yes, but please be gentle on our disk space
    2. I don't think so, not from this view. If you're viewing via an app on your phone, it might be able to mark things up
  • The big problem is mostly being able to manufacture locking geometry. ECM can do rifling, but it can't do -- say -- the barrel extension on an AR barrel. Cycling is whatever, we can figure that out, but we can't fire 5.56x45mm unless we can keep that breech closed.

    There was one guy who did a flywheel-delayed blowback rifle a while back, but he ended up dropping the project. He tried to do a rack-and-pinion setup with the rack on the bolt and it would just violently shred the teeth after cycling. Personally, I think there's still potential there, but there are probably also much more novel approaches we haven't explored yet.

  • I mean, we already have Tor hooked up. I'd likely just set up a subdomain on our onion address.

    Note that we can't federate without a publicly-resolvable DNS name, though.
