I build right now 7 birdhouses. Using Wood and 3D printed PETG. Each house is a different Build. On computer side I implement a CPU in Verilog for a FPGA for fun. For Bussines I build the firmware for a LCD monitor that can display up to 16 video inputs. It can scale, cut, rotate and distort every input and then place them on different layers. The device is used in telemedicine

A tree cutting tool. Take photos of the tree from 6 different angles, feed into a 3D model generator, erode the model and generate a 3D graph representation of the tree. The tool suggests which cuts to make and where, given a restricted fall path (e.g. constrained by a neighbors yard on one side). I create the fallen branches in their final state along the fall plane, and create individual correction vectors mapping…

I've been thinking for years about a safer alternative to chain saws. Something along the lines of a carbide coated wire driven by an electric motor and battery. Strap it to the tree, turn it on, walk away and some minutes later the tree falls down. The main difficulty is in how to drive the wire. Using friction would create fast wearing parts. Maybe a chain could be used instead of a wire. It could oscillate back an…

I use a tool called the Alligator. Is is a tool you can use like scissors. It has 2 chains on the inside of the the business ends. You put around the branch. Close the end and press the button. Springs will then close the end even more and cut the wood. No open chains

I believe on your home page it should say "Instantly tweet from any page without opening Twitter" not as it currently states "with"

Working on Uncloud [1] — open source tool for self-hosting containerised apps across multiple machines. You can combine cloud VMs and on-premises to create hybrid compute environments, e.g. for cost optimisation or data privacy. While Kubernetes offers power at the cost of complexity, Uncloud focuses on simplicity for common deployment workflows. Progress from this month: - Enhanced Docker Compose support: You can no…
