Learnt programming as a kid on my dads PSION. I owe my career to that device. It came with a BASIC manual on paper. That must have been the most important part of the package.
I beg to disagree about the disadvantages. An important one is that you cannot easily update shared libraries globally. This is a problem with things like libssl or similar. Another disadvantage is the added complexity both wrt. to operation but also in general the amount of code running. It can also be problematic that many people just run containers without doing any auditing. In general containers are pretty opaque compared to os packaged software which is usually compiled individually for the os.
This being said, systemd offers a lot of isolation features that allows similar isolation to containers but without having to deal with docker.
It's a good idea but I'm sceptical about anything friction to hold the darts. The problem is that they have very sharp machined rings that make them very non-slippery to the fingers. I'm pretty sure those rings would file off anything they slide against very quickly.
The steel tip does not have this problem though, so adding some part that pushes against the tip might be the solution. Alternatively, i could also make the part that houses the flights be somehow spring loaded and squeeze them.
Man, I love PHA, at least the idea of it. I have an unopened roll of it lying around because I'm afraid to waste it. I'll give it a go on my next print. It's unfortunate that it's still hard to find and a bit expensive. All hail PHA!
Yeah, I think I see what you mean. I'm very plastic conservative so I hope I can go without printing a second one, therefore the clip idea. Also the clip is a bit more practical better looking.
They fall out. For now I use a rubber band around the case but I don't like that solution too much. The initial idea was to put a rubber band around the "waist" so that they would be held there. Unfortunately the rubber then doesn't touch the dart. My current idea for a fix is to make a clip that pushes against that darts sideways through the holes.
This is fantastic! I have half assed plans of a similar design in FreeCAD lying around. I haven't come around building it yet. I'll surely take some inspiration here.
It's usually good for ecosystems with good and loads of docs. Whenever docs are scarce the results become shitty. To me it's mostly a more targeted search engine without the crap (for now)
Thunder!
