Tensegrity Thread
Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/)
Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/)
Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited for our endeavors. They provide looser tolerance requirements and give her body some squeezability. By incorporating naturally stretchable elements, she can better withstand having an Anon using her. (I speak from experience, though I still broke that torso before taking pictures.) Though there are drawbacks. These designs are deceptively difficult to design correctly. Our requirements for external aesthetics provide unique design requirements that complicate the design phase. I still believe using this concept is objectively correct for us to pursue.
A good example to build off of (Debatable whether or not it’s true tensegrity): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182634

You are the President of Earth, and a mysterious planet from another galaxy is hurdling towards our planet.
Transmissions from the mysterious planet have been sent directly to you by those who live there. It has life with sentient intelligent beings. They have double the population of our world's. Their technological tier is unclear, but it's at least roughly equivalent to ours, if not superior. Just when they were about to state if they were friendly, hostile, or otherwise, a solar storm flares and blocked their communications from us. Their intentions are unknown.
The scientists have calculated a 70/30 percentage chance of one-of-two outcomes of where this planet will go. There's a 70% chance this planet will shrimply be caught by the suns gravity and will orbit harmlessly between Earth and Mars, giving us a new neighbor (for better or worse). But, there's also 30% chance this planet will collide with Earth, mutually destroying their world and our own.
The planet is closing in and will be here quite soon, and the solar storms are keeping communications of the otherworldly beings blocked. As President of Earth, you exclusively have the activation code for a planet destroying super weapon. It is charged ready to fire on your command. If it is not fired now it will have to be deactivated to prevent a massive overload, and will take 2 years for it to charge and be ready again.
You can either destroy their planet and kill all the otherworldly beings, or you can do nothing and take your and eberryone's chances for our potentially new but mysterious neighbors.
Make your choice, President of Earth.

Je crois que d'un point de vue socio-culturel, l'idée de classe à quasi disparue en France. Fini la bourgeoisie, fini le prolétariat bienvenue à la beauferie généralisée.
C'est peut-être qu'une impression mais j'ai le sentiment qu'on a basculé vers un lissage culturel (vers le moins bon) qui a brisé une certaine frontière qui existait avant, il n'y a plus que des beaufs qui ont du fric et d'autres qui en ont moins.
Les types consomment la même merde (ou la volonté du moins), ont la même coupe de cheveux à la con, le même style merdique, la même putain de barbe, les mêmes putains de tatouages et surtout le même comportement hyper primaire. Putain tu essayes de parler avec eux tu as l'impression d'avoir à faire à des putains de singes.
Ouais je suis un poil tranchant mais je déteste de plus en plus les Français.

They were discussing asking trashchan if you would be interested in hosting it so I figured I would make a thread to gauge interest.

Last thread hit bump limit, so now here's an all new Trashchan edition of the thread. I like this place. I think it will make a good home for us.
What's on your mind, tonight?
What comfy niche forums and websites do you use?
What's wrong with your webring? Doesn't seem to crawl, lots of sites are missing.
For the past year, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. Her name is Galatea v3.0. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, less than $400 to make. It's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, hair, and even AI.
I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap.

Imageboard spam R: 155 /
F: 27 This is a thread to give some background on the illegal porn spam with links. I've seen some false guesses and claims going around on various boards so I figured it's time I made a dedicated thread to explain it.
I have been a janny, mod or admin on a few imageboards for the past 10 years, and casually post on many, including anon.cafe for the last 4 (although less so recently). Those who use a few different sites at once, especially slower/understaffed boards, will soon begin to notice patterns. Posts which look out of place. Identical posts which look out of place on two different sites. Drop a quote from it into a search engine and it's on twenty different imageboards!
It turns out there are a few spammers on imageboards, who go down a list of boards reposting the same post. A few years ago I made a bot to regularly check for new threads on imageboards and highlight any duplicates, documenting imageboard spam to find patterns and learn how to combat it.
There are a few different main categories of this spam. One is imageboard spam (or sometimes forums or D#scord chats), many of you will have seen recent posts from two news imageboards, just posting a link to their site and leaving. Political spam is also big (almost always either generic /pol/ tripe, Christian evangelism or actual schizophrenic psychosis), and it's worth noting that politics spam was especially big around 2020 so there will probably be a heap later this year. This is easy to spot on hobby boards, although it often blends in unnoticed on politics boards and random (/b/) boards, where they're often taken seriously, and sometimes those spammers choose to just repost only on the dozen /pol/ boards online. There are some other smaller classes of spam, but we're here to talk about the biggest spam category by far:
The CP spam is commercial spam. That's why they have links in them.
They hit any imageboard they can find. Even test sites with no users.
Different CP site owners have been doing this for at least 10 years, and probably ever since the internet went public.
This isn't news to people who have been around for a while, but for fresh users on political sites it's easy to jump to the conclusion that its one person (some cryptic 'pedoposter' character), or their designated scapegoat or feds trying to take their site down. But this was happening before /pol/ was even a board on 4chan, and it was happening on even harmless niche hobby imageboards (which is where I started jannying ten years ago, to help delete the hourly CP spam until the admin programmed a hacky countermeasure). And they don't just target imageboards. This is commercial spam. They target any blog comment section or unsecured forum they can discover. You can verify this yourself by checking where the same ad link appears in a search engine. There are commercial/freeware tools made by organized crime companies for discovering and spamming unsecured forums, which brag about being able to break most captchas (and even 10 years ago you could pay $1 per 1000 Google reCAPTCHA solves by real humans in poorer countries, all plugged into your bot via an API).
But there's an important point. The current ones aren't bot posting. These are humans, fresh custom-made captchas don't stop them. Simple post filters don't stop them ('post blocked, please try again' won't stop someone who is financially motivated). Anything that wouldn't stop you, won't stop them. And I say 'them' for good reason, you can verify both through basic linguistic forensics (typing styles, filename choices, filter evasion techniques, etc.) and by fingerprinting their user-agents that the same link is being posted by multiple spammers. Specifically, the current one with a child model on a purple background has the same link being posted by three distinct people, all from East Siberia and far North East Asia. They each have a list of target sites (some use imageboard lists like (historically) cc0's list or AllChans, others use custom-made spam lists with all kinds of websites on them, this can sometimes be confirmed by checking their HTTP referrers) and they go down the list, one by one, often clearly in alphabetical order, posting their garbage. They usually post on the first board they see, usually the first alphabetically or the most active/bumped board (which is why anons here correctly pointed out /comfy/ and /k/ were disproportionately targeted on anon.cafe), although they may also just have a certain arbitrary board saved (like lainchan's /zzz/, apparently), maybe because it got listed in a search first. I've seen cases where an imageboard has just locked their /a/ board due to constant spam and most of it disappeared (/a/ is first in alphabetical order, so on their homepage it was the first a spammer would click, so this wouldn't work on lynxchan/jschan's boardlist where they're ordered by activity).
It's also important to keep in mind that CP sites come and go, and along with it, different spammers. There have been particularly nasty ones in the past which posted full nudes, link in the image only so the post couldn't be text filtered, random filename, and either no text or text copied from other posts. Phash techniques could be a useful approach there, and the Junkuchan admin has mentioned in the Cloudflare thread that phash filtering has worked well for them.
Keep in mind, while it's possible in rare cases there is some CP posting which is different to what most people and I am describing, you can very clearly tell when it's different, the main difference being that malicious posters aren't shilling a pedo scam website. I have seen malicious CP posting only once, where a /pol/ user raided a site with child nude modelling photos posted from purchased VPS servers (this was done during a mass raid after the victim imageboard was linked in an active 4chan /pol/ thread. This was back in 2021 or 2022). That stuff tends to be either posted without any text (neither in the body nor the image) or with a taunt.
Here is the monitoring system: https://xj9k.neocities.org/
It only monitors certain sites, and only OPs on some sites, so it's far from conclusive but it's demonstrative.
Spam posts are grouped together under one detection (semi-automatically, so there are some small mistakes), it's worth clicking [Expand] and seeing how they differ over time and attempt to evade filters, or how the same spammer makes similar but different spam posts.
Clicking the Tags button in the top corner (or clicking on a tag) will show you examples of the many categories of spam.So, what are some of your favorite memories of the old internet?
Can be websites, memes, events or any other aspect of the days of Web 1.0 and 1.5
For a quick reference, here's what I would define as Web 1.0 and Web 1.5
>Web 1.0: Usenet, Geocities and Angelfire, AOL (1991-2001)
>Web 1.5: Early YouTube, ED, 4chan in its "wild west" days, MySpace, YTMND, Newgrounds and the peak years of dA and Fanfiction.net (2001-2008)
You also had cross-generation stuff like GameFAQs and IMDB which are still around today, although sadly IMDB's infamous message boards are gone
You realize that you're an internet oldfag when:
>You've been registered at old sites and forums with old local emails you don't use anymore and probably they don't even exist.
>You have saved images at BMP. format
I wood like to invite anyone browsing to come and solve a few puzzles together. Post an image and I will make a jigsaw of it if you want.

This is a thread to discuss smaller or general waifu building problems, solutions, proposals, and questions that don't warrant a thread or touch on more than one topic.
Let's have a new thread without a tonne of broken images. Have there been any new forms of /retro/ media (could be movies, games, anime, websites, etc.) that wanted to look old and actually succeeded?
There's an artist called BlueTheBone who makes "retro"-styled animations, cheesecake, and porn. Like any modern hack, he overdoses on visual clutter and uses filters that don't actually resemble the time period he's trying to emulate - but despite that, I think his style is consistently decent. If he relied less on computers and filters, then I think he'd be a much better artist, but that goes without saying for most contemporary artists.
The really weird things happen when he tries to make modern character designs and media look old, like pic 2. It isn't exactly wrong, but there is something perplexing about viewing characters and series that were developed specifically with modern aesthetics in mind.

I'm not good at drawing anything, and I want to start but I'm not sure where to start or what to learn, or what practices to do

How do you maintain a comfy and relatively stress-free internet experience? What should I cut out?
Baking, brewing, and cooking are berry important hearth-building and health-building skills. They are a surefire way to make yourself /comfy/, Anon! What are you baking, brewing, or cooking at the moment? How is it coming out? What will you be trying next time? Is there anything you'd like to try improving? Is there something you'd like to learn? Maybe you have something you'd like to teach us? I tried some old things and new things today! Pics related are: >the bread I made earlier today; a shrimple white cobb loaf. This was the first time I was just able to make it from memory. It felt great to be able to just reach for the ingredients and go through the motions. As luck wood have it, the prove went well and the slashes formed up beautifully. I was worried that the crumb inside wood be a little wet but it turned out berry nice with a good chewy crust. The loaf is wrapped in beeswax cloth now so I can eat it over the week. I'm considering getting a sourdough starter going but I don't know if I'm good enough to handle it yet. >my first attempt at glazing carrots Apparently glazing (which I have found out is different from caramelising) is a basic technique that even professionals find difficult to get perfect eberry time. I think my first attempt here had just a touch too little water and a touch too little sugar, though I reckon I got the butter correct. See how the finished carrots don't have an even glaze? They still tasted berry good with some parsley and finishing salt. Next I'm going to try blanching with asparagus. >sous vide pork tenderloin >fell for the sous vide meme Yes, and I love it! Weirdly, the garlic I put on these pork tenderloins was stained bluish-green by the other herbs during the water bath, but they cooked down to a tasty colour during the two minute finishing sear. I had the pork together with the carrots for dinner. They tasted great and I felt a great upswell of wellbeing after I finished them. Your turn, Anon!

F: 20 Hey Admin, I'm trying to set my custom CSS on /comfy/ but it says
'''
Bad Request
Custom CSS strict mode is enabled and does not allow the following: "@", "url("
'''
I believe it's because I link the background image in it, despites I uploaded it in the "Assets" settings of the board.
https://trashchan.xyz/asset/comfy/6c6f248c291c7e2674e510c6cdd3f33fb2564164176ab322109fe8788c9abcbb.png

It works well when I test my CSS in the "on the fly" settings though so I believe it may be a permission problem that prevent me to put anURL in my CSS. Please halp !Eberryone's known an animal that was different from the rest, special. This thread is a place to remember them, tell their stories, and pay tribute. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, or any others you'll never forget, all are welcome. And while it may get sad to say goodbye sometimes, don't forget to keep things /comfy/.
My sister's dog fell ill, practically overnight, and while she's still processing it, I'm afraid I know what's coming. I've been thinking about the kind of dog he's been. I've never seen a dog more dog-like than him. A German Shepherd, 80 pounds of raw muscle. If you flicked water out of a bucket, he'd do insane flips and twists to try and catch it. He'd bark at all our cars and try to bite the tires and run in circles to try and herd us if we drove where he could get at. If he got frustrated, he'd go find the heaviest log he could get his mouth around and whine while dragging it, or trying to. He loved barking at birds. But he wasn't just a brute, he was a sweet dog, and always knew to be gentle with kids. And eberry single day he wood run, run, run, even after 10 years. He was just always excited. Maybe none of that sounds berry specific or special, and I'm sorry that I can't think of any specific stories about him, but there will never be another dog like him, for any of us. He was endless.
Alright, I decided to expand the scope of this board a little more and include a containment thread for 80's nostalgia.
I mainly created this board to serve as both a successor to the old /y2k/ board, which was my favorite board on 8chan, and also expand the scope to include 90's nostalgia too, but after checking on this board, I noticed someone mentioning 80's nostalgia and I decided I would do something about it.
I personally don't care that much for 80's pop culture aside from the music and some of the old edgy anime, but 80's nostalgia did become a thing in the 2000's and I can see why others like the whole 80's style, so I'll allow it as long as it's mainly kept to this thread.

Keep it limited to the scope of this board, so basically Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Generation consoles only for now.
For those who don't know what consoles are part of which generation, here's a quick rundown of the time frame we're talking about...
>Fourth Generation: SNES, Sega Genesis/Sega CD
>Fifth Generation: PS1, N64, Sega Saturn
>Sixth Generation: Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, OG Xbox
Discussion of games from the Seventh Generation consoles (PS3/Wii/Xbox 360) is allowed as well, but I'd like the thread to mainly focus on the 4th-6th console genererations since the 7th Gen era carried over into the 2010's and a lot of the games from that era onward obviously have far more in common with modern gaming than stuff from the 16-bit consoles or the PS1 and PS2 eras.
You can also discuss PC games and handhelds from 1990-2009 in this thread too, as well as arcade games from that time.
Any old-school gaming topic is fair game, whether it be the games themselves or old video gaming magazines, even wild rumors from that kid on the playground whose uncle worked at Nintendo...

Your hands are badly burned, and your body hurts all over.
You don't remember anything about who you are, or what this place is.

I have never bought a digital camera and I have stopped being a NEET lately. I have a small comfy job so I have some money and I buy rolls of film on occasion and I carry a late '90s point and shoot camera with me almost everywhere I go. It's fun and super comfy. I also started developing black and white film myself, at home.

I have set up my windows machine to look like windows 98 (not completely accurate but I've changed over the icons and use a classic theme, etc.
And on my linux machine I have set it up to look like some versions of UNIX from the late 80s to early 90s.
And for my browser I use Pale Moon and I have it set to look like Netscape.

Heya /comfy/. I want to hear your discoveries and experiences on the numerous adjustments you made to your life to make it as comfy as it can be. It can even be plans for future comfiness. I want to see it all. It doesn't even matter if someone else posted about a similar experience. I want to read as much as you feel comfortable sharing. It doesn't matter how small, since even the smallest change can yield a net positive.
Sometimes, I just become too complacent in uncomfy stuff and assume it can't be helped until I see someone set an example. I have difficulty letting myself be comfy due to personal reasons and as a consequence, I do nothing.
Being comfy isn't just about doing nothing, but it's also about going out of your way to do stuff to be comfy. I'd love for this thread to be a helpful resource into achieving the comfy mindset and serve as a source of inspiration, so share away!
To start, here's a bunch of experiences that I'd like to share.
I always liked Logitech keyboards, but the keycaps they come with are pretty shoddy. The letters washed off when I cleaned them. They even peeled away and stuck to my fingers after some light use. To top it off, I'd have to fork over more money for replacements that likely would do the same. It always stressed me out. I did a little investigation and found out that there are different types of materials used for keycaps. ABS, PBT, and pudding keycaps from what I remember. 90% of keyboards these days come with ABS keycaps and Logitech was no different. Basically, ABS keycaps are the cheapest type and they're thinner, but they're decently quiet for typing. PBT keycaps usually have better ink and sometimes even letters engraved into the material, but they're thicker which means they might produce a heavier thonk sound when you type on them. Pudding keycaps are the best of PBT and ABS combined, in my opinion. The very top is PBT which makes it very durable, and the letters don't get worn off, but the sides are ABS and not inked, which still keeps the quieter typing experience of an ABS keycap. Now, most Logitech keyboards have their unique switches that the keycaps would have to be attached to, and finding keycaps for those switches is a bit tricky, but I was able to find a keyboard from them that used those common cherry switches. I ordered that one and some pudding keycaps in my favorite colors and voila, I now have a comfy keyboard that looks aesthetically pleasing, functions well, doesn't feel greasy after a day, and doesn't fall apart after some soap and water!
Regarding outfits, I decided to embrace wearing oversized sweatshirts about 2 sizes bigger than what I am. For both loungewear and when I'm out and about. Since I like to present myself as a bit dressier nowadays, I just toss a plain-colored collared dress shirt underneath it and I get the style and comfiness all at the same time. The oversized nature of each sweatshirt is perfectly comfortable enough to lounge around in on its own. I can tuck my knees under it to keep my legs warm. It's also big enough to be thrown over some actual clothes without feeling a bit tight. They add an accent color to my outfits since I wear mostly black and white, and it also generally gives me an excuse to wear some vibrant, yet soothing colors I love without it being too much. Efficiency!
And the last one for now since I'd like to avoid blogposting: Shaving is no longer something I loathe. I thought my skin was just extra sensitive to shaving, so I just lived with razor bumps, nicks, redness from irritation, etc. Turns out, I wasn't preparing myself for a shave as well as I should've been. I thought just shaving wet in the shower was enough. I picked up a much newer safety razor that was appraised for being gentle to sensitive skin, switched over to a different brand of razor blades, and started using actual shave butter instead of using my 2-in-1 shampoo as a substitute. My eyes no longer burn and turn red from the 2-in-1 and to top it off, shaving has never been faster and more therapeutic. Most importantly, it's now a comfy experience.
I do have plans to pick up one of those scented shower steamers so shaving and showering is even more comfy. I think I'll try those out sometime next month and give an update here, and maybe ramble some more about more of my experiences after I read some posts.
So, anon, what were your revelations, and what are you up to?

Today, I had a lot of fun cleaning the floors in the home. I ran up and down the hallway with a soapy towel, got on my hands and knees and scooby-doo scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, and was completely exhausted and satisfied by the end of it.
Quand j'étais ado, j'étais déprimé parce que je n'avais pas de copine. J'étais allé voir un psychiatre pour essayer de trouver une solution. Un psychiatre roumain d'un Centre Médico-Psychologique gratuit m'a prescrit un neuroleptique pour les schizos.
Comme un bon patient discipliné, j'ai pris le médicament. J'ai fait un syndrome extrapyramidal : une douleur neuropathique ineffable me parcouru les jambes, comme si elles étaient cassées, et mes muscles étaient si contractés que je ne pouvais plus marcher. Mon père m'a emmené aux urgences de l'hôpital. Après ce qui m'a semblé une éternité, on m'a fait une piqûre, et je me suis endormi.
Le lendemain, une jeune interne a expliqué à mes parents que mes symptômes avaient pour origine "la peur de la séparation avec la Mère" et d'un Œdipe non résolu (elle savait que j'avais pris un médoc qui affecte le système nerveux).
Et c'est ainsi que j'ai acquis une haine inextinguible pour cette pseudo-science et ceux qui la promeuvent.
il faut exterminer les freudistes.
Je suis sûr qu'anon a des passe-temps formidables, voire... Pourquoi pas, des passions. Ici tu partages avec nous ton meilleur autisme.
Moi c'est la musique. L'écouter, la découvrir, m'y plonger, la laisser me pénétrer. En concert ou à la maison. Je peux littéralement avoir des orgasmes musicaux parfois, c'est un truc qui me transcende. J'ai une crainte: d'un jour atteindre un genre de plafond de verre émotionnel avec la musique et de ne pas parvenir à le briser pour y trouver des sensations nouvelles. Il m'arrive parfois d'écouter le même album, voire la même chanson en boucle pendant plusieurs jours; de le disséquer, de l'analyser, de m'imprégner des moindres nuances, des moindres détails, de chercher à y discerner l'indicible...
J'aimerais apprendre à jouer d'un instrument aussi, j'ai une vieille basse qui traîne à la maison et j'aimerais me trouver un peu de matos pour expérimenter sur des trucs plus bruitistes / expérimentaux.
Sinon en général j'aime toucher un peu à tout pourvu que ça me serve à un moment donné ou que ça m'apporte un peu de joie ou de défi. Que ce soit pour l'esprit ou pour le corps. Du coup j'aime à me définir comme un dilettante passionné.
what the hell is going on in Brit... I am not british but my bookshelf, my home is filled of Brits culture, brits comics, movies, books ...music. Your country was present in very damned TV news telling to us abour creativity, provocation, art and crafts ... I have no idea why agenda and toilet papers people is ammassing shit in the Land of William Blake... BUT FOR GOD SAKE DO SOMETHING.

Comment s'appelle l'idée philosophique selon laquelle il aurait mieux valu que la vie n'aie jamais existé parce qu'elle implique la souffrance ? Y a-t-il un philosophe qui aie développé cette idée ?
Alors anon, tu es prêt à aller crever dans la gadoue Ukrainienne ?
