  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I find it fascinating how many of the people being locked inside
  15 the proposed border wall between USA and Mexico support the idea.  The
  16 proposal to keep Mexicans out reminds me of
  17 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-berlin-wall&quot;&gt;the
  18 propaganda twist from the East Germany government&lt;/a&gt; calling the wall
  19 the “Antifascist Bulwark” after erecting the Berlin Wall, claiming
  20 that the wall was erected to keep enemies from creeping into East
  21 Germany, while it was obvious to the people locked inside it that it
  22 was erected to keep the people from escaping.&lt;/p&gt;
  23
  24 &lt;p&gt;Do the people in USA supporting this wall really believe it is a
  25 one way wall, only keeping people on the outside from getting in,
  26 while not keeping people in the inside from getting out?&lt;/p&gt;

  35                 <description>&lt;p&gt;At my nearby maker space,
  36 &lt;a href=&quot;http://sonen.ifi.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Sonen&lt;/a&gt;, I heard the story that it
  37 was easier to generate gcode files for theyr 3D printers (Ultimake 2+)
  38 on Windows and MacOS X than Linux, because the software involved had
  39 to be manually compiled and set up on Linux while premade packages
  40 worked out of the box on Windows and MacOS X.  I found this annoying,
  41 as the software involved,
  42 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura&quot;&gt;Cura&lt;/a&gt;, is free software
  43 and should be trivial to get up and running on Linux if someone took
  44 the time to package it for the relevant distributions.  I even found
  45 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/706656&quot;&gt;a request for adding into
  46 Debian&lt;/a&gt; from 2013, which had seem some activity over the years but
  47 never resulted in the software showing up in Debian.  So a few days
  48 ago I offered my help to try to improve the situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  49
  50 &lt;p&gt;Now I am very happy to see that all the packages required by a
  51 working Cura in Debian are uploaded into Debian and waiting in the NEW
  52 queue for the ftpmasters to have a look.  You can track the progress
  53 on
  54 &lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=3dprinter-general%40lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
  55 status page for the 3D printer team&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  56
  57 &lt;p&gt;The uploaded packages are a bit behind upstream, and was uploaded
  58 now to get slots in &lt;a href=&quot;https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html&quot;&gt;the NEW
  59 queue&lt;/a&gt; while we work up updating the packages to the latest
  60 upstream version.&lt;/p&gt;
  61
  62 &lt;p&gt;On a related note, two competitors for Cura, which I found harder
  63 to use and was unable to configure correctly for Ultimaker 2+ in the
  64 short time I spent on it, are already in Debian.  If you are looking
  65 for 3D printer &quot;slicers&quot; and want something already available in
  66 Debian, check out
  67 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r&quot;&gt;slic3r&lt;/a&gt; and
  68 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r-prusa&quot;&gt;slic3r-prusa&lt;/a&gt;.
  69 The latter is a fork of the former.&lt;/p&gt;

  78                 <description>Når jeg holder på med ulike prosjekter, så trenger jeg stadig ulike
  79 skruer.  Det siste prosjektet jeg holder på med er å lage
  80 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:676916&quot;&gt;en boks til en
  81 HDMI-touch-skjerm&lt;/a&gt; som skal brukes med Raspberry Pi.  Boksen settes
  82 sammen med skruer og bolter, og jeg har vært i tvil om hvor jeg kan
  83 få tak i de riktige skruene.  Clas Ohlson og Jernia i nærheten har
  84 sjelden hatt det jeg trenger.  Men her om dagen fikk jeg et fantastisk
  85 tips for oss som bor i Oslo.
  86 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zachskruer.no/&quot;&gt;Zachariassen Jernvare AS&lt;/a&gt; i
  87 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=59.93421&amp;mlon=10.76795#map=19/59.93421/10.76795&quot;&gt;Hegermannsgate
  88 23A på Torshov&lt;/a&gt; har et fantastisk utvalg, og åpent mellom 09:00 og
  89 17:00.  De selger skruer, muttere, bolter, skiver etc i løs vekt, og
  90 så langt har jeg fått alt jeg har lett etter.  De har i tillegg det
  91 meste av annen jernvare, som verktøy, lamper, ledninger, etc.  Jeg
  92 håper de har nok kunder til å holde det gående lenge, da dette er en
  93 butikk jeg kommer til å besøke ofte.  Butikken er et funn å ha i
  94 nabolaget for oss som liker å bygge litt selv. :)&lt;/p&gt;
