Here's the finished product, as well as a picture of a Peanu tbutter and jelly sandwich that I made with it.
I just got catfished by probably the most advanced chta/scammer bot I have ever seen. I did not fall for it though.
Here's what happened:
> An account joined a public telegram group that I am in.
> This account sat dormant in the group chat for a bit over a week before leaving.
> A bit afterwards, the account randomly DMed me. It asked for technical help with ordering 3d printed parts in Europe for some reason.
> Telegram has the ability to view all of the avatars one has used since the account began.
> I looked into this, as it's one of the more obvious giveaways for fake accounts. The account had around eight different pictures of the same very believable girl in the picture.
> I conversed with this account for about a week about various topics, exchanging between ten and twenty messages a day.
>This morning, the account shilled a crypto/ponzi/MLM scheme based out of Italy.
>Upon realising what had happened, I blocked the account and it had deleted all chat history quickly after.
> It now says the account is deleted.
let me get this straight, a scammer set up the following:
1. A botting system to make fake telegram accounts
2. A system similar to thispersondoesnotexist, but his AI face generation system was seedable. Meaning he could generate multiple selfies of the same fake person.
3. He noscripted a server to upload these fake selfies to a fake Telegram account so if someone viewed the account's profile, there was a history of believable selfies of a nonexistant girl.
4. He programmed these fake bot accounts to join public telegram groups and scrape the user lists in them
5. He used a system like chatGPT or something similar to make a chat bot and noscripted it to pretend to be a an egirl from a foreign country and eventually shill for a fake business.
6. Presumably, most or all of this process is automated and there are countless accounts all doing this
Stay safe out there guys, this is completely insane.

I have spent a few days filling out a Google spreadsheet for a (somewhat) comprehensive list of all the variations of tri-extruded filament.
You can check it out here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZiK9AVuyUCJixlNHVhTae__BAnXmCxbJdiQ1GNCBwbA/edit#gid=0
There's also a section for the different marble PLA colors that I have found. In the future, I would like to add a section for 2-colored filament, however I'm not sure how to organize it. There are way more different manufacturers and sellers of it. Coextruded filament also comes in different surface finishes and not exclusively silk. Of note there's matte, normal, silk, sparkly and combinations thereof.
Also, there are a ton of different variations of rainbow filament which I would like to catalogue, as well as all the different variations of glow-in-the-dark stuff.
I would like to move this to some other platform that isn't a volatile Google Doc. If you have any suggestions please leave it in the discussion.

Can someone give me a little bit of tech support here?
So I am unable to use AliExpress. What is going on is that when I log in, it's as if that "session" becomes permanently corrupted and it makes the site completely unusable.
When I try to access the site, I get the error "this page isn't redirecting properly". I can see in the lower left corner of my page that it keeps looping between four different URLs/domains. Those domains are:
login.aliexpress.com
login.aliexpress.us
www.aliexpress.com
www.aliexpress.us
I have tried different different browsers and even different computers. The problem immediately starts happening when I log in.
I am able to browse the site while not logged in if I start a private browsing session, but as soon as I log in the problem starts up again, and persists even if I delete cookies. Any idea on what is going on?

UPDATE:
Whatever is going on seems to be with AliExpress's system. I am able to access some URLs on the site, but not others.

https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html works for example, but virtually nothing else seems to.Hello I'm back after a long hiatus!
I shelved all my electronics projects around around late 2020 due to the global chip shortage going on. Since then I have picked up the hobby of 3d printing, which I have blogged about here a couple times.
Well I am proud to announce that I am back to doing electronics! This is to show off the first baby steps I'm taking to building my ultimage keyboard.
My motivation is quite simple: I want a keyboard where the numpad is to the left of the main keyboard, while the nevigation cluster is to the right. To my knowledge, there is only one board on the market that was like this, and the maker of it has stopped producing it. due to its poor construction however, this keyboard is starting to show its age. So I'm taking it upon myself to make my own, from scratch!
If all goes according to plan it's going to have all the bells and whistles: a fast polling rate, RGB, optical switches, and a volume knob. I am going to design my keyboard around the STM32F072RBT6 microcontroller as it best suits my needs and applications.
The pics accompanying this blogpost are my first baby steps to getting this working. What you are looking at here, is essentially a hat/shield with 20 6mm pushbottons wired up to function like a 4x5 switch matrix. I also have a trusty IS31FL3741 LED matrix driver on a daughterboard for handling the backlighting. I designed this board in 2020, before the silicon shortage.
This is all built on top of STMicro's official devboard for the chip I am using. It is part of their line of STM32-Nucleo devboards and they have a lot of neat features in their own right.
In the coming months I plan on rolling my own PCB for driving this chip. I will also go more in-depth into the mechanical construction of the final keyboard. It'll almost certainly have a different construction to how most keyboards are made but I'll save that for when I get there.

I have landed myself on an interesting YouTube rabbit hole. Their algorithm has randomly started recommending me music that has the following criteria:
1. It was uploaded in the last ten days
2. It has less than 1000 views. (sometimes it even dips into the double digits)
It seems to have a bias for ambient/experimental techno/EDM type stuff. On rarer occasions it recommends me underground/amateur mumble rap. I regret not cataloguing any of the latter, as now they have completely vanished from my recommendations.
For the last few days I have shifted to getting my daily listening exclusively through these recommendations. I've compiled a playlist of some of the "catchier" songs that I have come across.
It makes you wonder what other niche stuff has been uploaded to YouTube and is completely impossible to find...

A quick update on my keyboard project! I spun up my own basic PCB for the STM32F072RB. Dare I say it looks pretty schway.
By some stroke of luck, it worked the first time without needing any bodges. This means I can move forward with the next step of the development: Engineering the circuitry for multiplexing the optical switches. That is essentially the final big hurdle before I can make the proper circuit board for the final keyboard.
This mess of wires shows it all working perfectly.
