autobox - Making fingerjointed project boxes automatically

De
It's kindda the tenth time I have to make a custom box for a project out of plywood with my CNC. The process I follow is
- Design the box in QCAD: This involves doing all the rotations and translations, and then the verifications so every finger falls into place.
- Pass the file to CAMbam or dxf2gcode and there configure all the machining stuff
- Finally cut it with my grbl-powered CNC and UGS.

Only when finish I realize that I forgot to add clearance between fingers.

NOT AGAIN!

For this task I created autobox, its open source code (https://github.com/debuti/autobox) and you are more than welcome to improve it. And I have a live app (http://autobx.herokuapp.com/), so you can create your boxes online, and maybe, who knows, use jscut.org to create your GCODE

Enjoy it

Tasker: Profiles with priorities

De
Hi! If you read Tasker docs, you may find that with Tasker its not possible to establish actions based on profile priorities if you have two of them activated at the same time; in the other hand Setting Profiles is a unmantained old app that can do this, but have no scripting capabilities like Tasker. Here is the solution using Tasker powerful environment. The main idea is to do this: Profiles/Init (44) A1: If [ %Profiles_pactivelast Is Set & %Profiles_pactivelast !~ %PACTIVE ] A2: Perform Task [ Name:Profiles/Profile/Default Stop:Off Priority:5 Parameter 1 (%par1): Parameter 2 (%par2): Return Value Variable: ]  A3: Variable Set [ Name:%profile_priority To:Work,Class,Study,Sleep,Low battery, Charging weak,Charging strong Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]  A4: Variable Split [ Name:%profile_priority Splitter:, Delete Base:Off ]  A5: For [ Variable:%profile Items:%profile_priority() ]  A6: [X] Flash [ Text:%profile Long:Off ]  A7: [X] Wait [ MS:0 ...

Use rclone to mount cloud storage

De
I realized that the fat clients that allows you to sync your contents are not only wasting CPU cycles but also lots of disk space. Yes, that enables you to have the file opened almost instantly, no matter its size, but for me that use case is almost never needed, I use the cloud storage to save stuff that is in the range of a few MiB. Here is where rclone comes into play, it allows you to mount your storage as if it were a regular disk, and it handles the communication with the cloud servers on the go. As there are many different combinations I'll cover only two Linux w/ Dropbox curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | bash # Use rclone config to add a new remote called db for dropbox MAIN_USER=$SUDO_USER MAIN_USER_HOME=$(grep ^$SUDO_USER: /etc/passwd | head -1 | cut -d: -f6) mkdir /media/db chown $MAIN_USER:$MAIN_USER /media/db cat <<EOF > /lib/systemd/system/rclone-db.service [Unit] Description=Dropbox rclone mount After=multi-user.targetrclone [Service] Type=simple User=$ M...
