I've made a number of ceramic molds for slumping fused glass into bowls. As well as wooden templates for ceramic mugs. I've devised a few carrying tools to move glass frit paintings from my studio down to my barn where the kilns sit without spilling the glass. Or were you only asking about digital tools? I haven't really made any of those. Making physical tools feels much more satisfying these days.

Can you fire ceramic in a house oven? Or do you need something more industrial?

No.

Low fire clay fires at 1060°C+ and high fire clay at 1222°C+.

[Corrected to both be Centigrade]

I made that realization last year and since then it's just been random project after random project each one requiring me to discover a new tool or method to do some aspect of the project "properly". I'll never be a plumber or electrician professionally but it's so rewarding to start from zero and learn something new that is tangible in the real world. That's the one AI use case I've walked away from feeling like I actually learned something.

I made myself a tool that connects to my cdj3000x and A9 mixer over network and gets all data live from them. So bpm, pitch, song metadata etc. The tool also connects to my recordbox library and runs custom ML algos to classify for pitch, stems, tonality Phrasing, energy etc. Long story short it basically shows me ideas of what will mix in well. It works bizarrely well for me.

Created a few Open Source tools: Open Camera Control https://github.com/jcubic/open-camera-control - that allows me to control the settings of my DSLR while I'm recording myself. Horavox - https://github.com/jcubic/horavox - A speaking clock Mutimon - https://github.com/jcubic/mutimon - a config driven web scraper (found this post from the email sent by this tool). ASCII-Globe - https://github.com/jcubic/ascii-globe…

The globe is cool, but I find it unsettling that Japan is missing.

Also New Zealand.

I've been working on a tool to design laser cut jigsaw puzzles https://jiglu.dev/

Since I live far away from family I also added an online game so I could play with them or show them what I was making more concretely.

I've cut some jigsaw puzzles that it made, but without access to an uv printer or a laser cutter that works reliably it's been challenging to actually make them

I need to finish off that blog post. With Tailscale, you can basically point a domain to the FQDN of a machine you’re sharing with people and the domain will simply work for them (and only them)[1]. But for it to work without them having to know or specify the specific application port, you have to grant them access to 443 (and 80) in your Tailscale ACL for that specific host. So yeah, now immich.familydomain.com wor…

I found cloudflare zero trust excellent for this and it works perfectly well on the free tier (I do use cloudflare as my registrar)
