There have been some changes in general to the way things cache. I'm not familiar with the details and only use ComfyUI at this point. I have been hacking around within this area but truly hacking around in the original sense of the word and not documenting or doing anything with the intention of sharing with others.
What I'm thinking about is the code that tries to prevent rerunning the same things over and over, like when different models or parts of models get loaded. Around a couple of months ago I had an issues with some of my hacked code swapping between LLM and diffusion models on the fly, but I wound up using some ComfyUI nodes for LLMs instead.
You can use your .git directory to see your last commit. Your git history is like an independent archive that can be used for stuff like this. You don't have to learn how to revert in conjunction with all the other code. You can just use the command line and git to view where you were at before. Then go on GitHub and look at the releases for the project and git-clone a release from around this timespan. Place that somewhere new and copy or link your old configuration and user settings.

That is very interesting in this context. Thanks for adding this

I like Okular's ability to scan and convert tabled data in PDFs too. There is an option to turn off DRM nonsense. That can do page edits and stuff. If you want to create pages with images you need an office suite.
Anyone have shortcuts for modeling complex over center, compliance mechanisms, and bistable auxetic materials? I'm using FreeCAD and trying to just use rough sketches and trial and error to create a bending tube structure that 3d prints vertically but then bends into place like a pop-tube kid's toy, but only on one side of an otherwise vase mode print design. I'm really pushing the limits of what FreeCAD can loft before edges go wonky and the Part Design workflow is no longer sufficient. I can make a compliant spring easily, but a bistable bend in a tube is at the edge of my learning curve.

VAIO was formerly a brand of Sony, introduced in 1996, until it offloaded it into an independent company in 2014; Japan Industrial Partners owns VAIO Corporation, with Sony maintaining a minority stake. Sony still holds the intellectual property rights for the VAIO brand and logo.[3] In November 2024, it was announced that Japanese retailer Nojima will take control of Vaio, expected to finalize in January 2025.

Based on that page it looks like they only still exist as a potential sticker brand. That looks like they couldn't compete with the highly integrated iCore era when laptops got very simplified compared to the duo core stuff with lots of peripheral daughter boards and I/O support.
Cool! I love that you are engaged on my level. Today I had a new idea. I thought of the pop-tube kid's toys randomly.
I was combining that with an idea I had yesterday. Yesterday, I properly measured my ear after I glued up a print and actually tested it by listening to music for a few hours.
So first off, my empirical hypothesis is that the sealing properties and the air volume are the primary factors that determine the perception of frequency response. The design pictured in this post adds a little bit of volume overall compared to the original. It doesn't have quite the same bass response but it adds a lot of crisp clarity in the ~200Hz+ range. I think this is just due to the spacial volume.
After measuring my ear and looking at the CAD and print, my first prototype adds enough fore to aft clearance around my ear. It added around 3mm of extra depth. This clears my ear depth by about 1.7mm too far and is primarily from designing in a stiffer material than the original pad. The original pad touches my ear in several places which gets hot and annoying, especially in the summer.
So I started thinking about how I can alter the print to shape it and completely clear all of my ear. The printed pad is already cooler, but adding full clearance could make it even more comfortable. I was perplexed about how to accomplish this though because it would likely require me to replace the base plate if I am going to shape the print further. My present design is just a 9mm single instance of the tube shape with the pattern repeated and a little underlap sleeve added at the end. What I really need is to vary the spacing of each conforming section to control where and how each bend happens. This would likely make the unsolved clasping connector issue worse.
The pop-tube idea might solve my problem though. I don't need to think about the bend joint like a spring. I need to think of it like a bistable switch and design the bends to snap into shape. I'm still mentally sorting out the idea before trying to design it. I'm essentially decoupling the bending from the shape itself. The challenge is how to do this in a continuous print without gaps in a vase-mode like mindset. I'm adamant on the vase-mode approach because I think I can better tune the pad conforming behavior based solely on single wall extrusion properties. Also, TPU is always more ugly for me if I allow z-hops and travel.
Anyways, if I introduce this disconnected level of complexity to my next iteration, I can likely also add something like a recess for glasses too. I have the same issue with my reading glasses and just use ear buds instead when I need them.
I also want to thin all of the walls of the tube and use a mathematical spreadsheet based pattern to stiffen some sections, but that is a secondary objective. My next step is to make a bistable bending action. I'll see if I can make it tunable for a 4 corner topology so that it can work for oval and rectangular designs – not that you should wait or anything like that. I'm fundamentally unstable and unreliable due to my physical disability. Like yesterday was my big cooking day for 2 weeks of food and I'm mostly recovering so far today. I don't know if my back will settle down enough for me to spend competent time designing today, but maybe after lunch and Adderall I'll get an hour or two to mess around if I lay on a heating pad.

What percentage of lead gets washed off the fingers of a typical human after handling lead solder?
(self.nostupidquestions)
Portable bike stands take up a lot of floor space and suck to deploy and collapse every day. I'm in the process of converting the main stand upright tubes and head to attach to the side of a toolbox cart instead of the base of the portable stand.
Look mah, no supports:
Too much floor space wasted:
I was afraid the pedals wouldn't clear when the head is mounted vertical, but it looks like I still have around 5-10 millimeters of clearance. I still need to design and print the actual clamp mount to the toolbox. This was just a mockup with some wood clamps to check pedal clearance first.

Caveat: The bike used is an e-bike with a powered wheel. The pedals have very little load requirements and no long-term or load testing is shown. As one of the most hardcore roadies you'll ever interact with, personally, I believe this would not last more than a week if it could survive a single ride on a traditional bike and someone like myself based on my first impression of the design. Still, the idea is impressive to me. In practice, a robust enough design will likely outweigh a chain drive by an order of magnitude. The reason the chain and cog transmission is standard is because of the balance of weight to durability. Every single gram matters on a bicycle far more than may be apparent at first.
Noun
pareidolia (plural pareidolias)
- (psychology) The tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as interpreting marks on Mars as canals, seeing shapes in clouds, or hearing hidden messages in music.
Etymology
Borrowed from German Pareidolie, constructed from Ancient Greek παρα- (para-, “alongside”) + εἴδωλον (eídōlon, “image”) + -ία (-ía).
