WIP Sanguinor of the Blood Angels

Here is my WIP Sanguinor. I went a little heavy handed with the silver highlights, but it still looks good at table distance. The shade of the parchment feels like it bumps with the gold a bit, so I might dry brush it a little lighter. Overall pretty happy with the progress.

Xiaomi just made the Yi Home app a useless piece of crap
  • I never used their app, but I have a Yi camera. There are several open source firmwares for them that provide many more features than stock. I feed my cameras into Frigate, which isn't particularly simple to configure, but gives you a great open source DVR.

    I don't really like the Yi camera actually. I've had much better luck with Amcrest.

  • Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps
  • I love all strava's social elements, but it has just gotten worse and worse over time. We really need a federated alternative. I've been toying with concepts for a while, even made a bridge from Garmin to mastodon API, but the long term concern for me is that Garmin seems to be picky with official API access so it would be difficult for individual servers to import data from there or other sources.

  • Microsoft Sucks at Everything
  • I dunno about PHP Storm, but I've used pretty much all their other IDEs and they're hands down better than their competitors. I wish they had picked better names for Data Grip and Data Spell though. I can never keep track of which is which.

  • Which open source android keyboard do you use
  • I generally agree, but its difficult to say what kind of vulnerabilities may lie in wait due to outdated dependencies. Heliboard seems to be the successor, also does not have network access, and is more regularly updated. Whatever satisfies your threat model though.

  • Thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop machine?
  • I've been using it on my gaming rig/dev workstation for nearly a year and its been great. Games work great. I had some issues with printer drivers, and with some dev tools. I hadn't used a fedora-based system in years so many of my issues likely stemmed from that. Editors seem to be confused by the home symlink, especially IntelliJ et al.

    Overall I'd highly recommend it. Someone mentioned slow boot, but that hasn't been my experience. It boots within a few seconds.

  • Where's a good place to find legit training programs?
  • A lot of the big running blogs do reviews of the big popular training plans. Some of them are available for free, or are listed in their books. Personally I like he 80/20 plans. The focus is on doing a lot of easy slow building, but still keeps a wide variety of training runs. They have some good complementing strength plans too.

  • Here are the best Google Maps alternatives for finding your way: With a number of community-driven, open-source mapping projects, picking a navigation app without ads or tracking has never been easier
  • Its unfortunately true. I'm not sure how to get more engagement from businesses and municipalities, but if they got involved to maintain their locations then it would be a great help. Just have to make it attractive enough in terms of tourism and money. Or just easy enough. Like a POI database that would update entries across many of the map platforms at once. No idea how feasible that is, but I'm sure business owners would love to have one simple tool to update their data rather than 10.

  • FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

    I'm in the process of degoogling and I'm stuck trying to find a reasonable alternative to Chromecast. It would be great if I could stream music/video from my phone to my TV from apps like RiMusic, Tidal, and NewPipe. Are there any good solutions? Even better if friends and family can use it with minimal additional setup.

    Blood Angels Primaris Chaplain

    I just finished this guy up. He's mostly wearing contrast paints. His cloak is Baal Red Contrast followed by a wash of 1:1 Blood Angels Contrast and Contrast medium. I can't wait to get him on the table!

    It's not my finest work, but I'm just getting back into the hobby after taking a 4 year hiatus. I'm pretty stoked to just finish some models again.
