damn, that thing must be like, a Scottish castle or something LOL.
super cool that you live there!
now I’m confused about onshape though, as anything digital that’s “free” has long since enshittefied, and sold you as the product… could the seriously be one of the last bastions of good free software? it may not be OSS, but if its really that good… hmmm, food for thought. I’ll have to do more research on it.
you don’t need windows, but that is how I have my install set up, as WINE can be kind of buggy with the program. it doesn’t need networking, so no risk of m$ taking info, and SW2024 can run on 8GB and some CPU passthrough.
speaking as someone who’s tried just about ever 3dCAD program under the sun, SW is the best on the market for ease of use, documentation, and available plugins.
openSCAD is absolute hell for ease-of-use, onshape sells your data, freecad has the same issues as openscad, and AutoCAD, while good, still is worse than SW due to poorer documentation, and more annoying interface.
of course, there is always the option of doing the drawings by hand on paper, with a ruler, a compass, and a protractor. this may be your best option for sharability, as your local municipality may want to have it for their records as well, assuming that a) they don’t already have it, and b) if they do, you were unable to procure the original blueprints.
its the right tool for everything engineering related; you can do drafting very easily, its built-in.
onshape may have a free tier, but piracy is better than free, due to “free” meaning that your information is the product being sold (to other vendors).
pirate solidworks. fuck dassault systemes, but they make a damned good cad program, with excellent documentation on how to do just about everything under the sun (and some stuff that even the sun don’t shine on)
use a win10 ltsc VM with device passthru for running it, it won’t know the difference.

haha, I think I got a worldwide high score at the time, or at was close to one back then.
that’s how I learned firewalls and networking lmao
couldn’t access my games, so I found ways around the firewalls and network blocks, just to play on coolmathgames lmao
hawke.uno is my preferred tracker for media. they have registrations open pretty frequently.
1337x for the other stuff, like games or books.
let me know if they’re worth the price, been looking for an ereader tablet that has a long lasting battery - currently have a oukitel rt7 titan, the thing is a fucking BRICC (something like 2.3kg I think) but hey, its battery lasts literally weeks (28ish hrs ScreenOnTime, but thats about 17days of usage for me)
have you looked at the color e-ink tablets? A cursory look reveals the boox air3, which might be a good fit for your use case
new internet historian video soon I bet
fuck cancer. all my homies hate cancer. good on you for making this PSA.
were it not so sad… that’d be impressive…
nrmally tinnitus is a constant sine wave right? I’m lucky that mine is only audible at a noise floor of “super quiet” (my dB meter crapped out on me a while back and I’ve not had the money to replace it sadly)
fuck, this is way better than my current naming scheme of "customer-<devicepurpose>, I’m stealing it for my next setup.

I’ve been pirating for a looooooong time. I’ve never once gotten viruses. stick to private trackers, and proven uploaders for software (fitgirlrepacks, solidsquad, etc) and you won’t get viruses.
