A flat #space #cab #ute #tray makes it quite easy to load and unload items but unfortunately, it doesn’t offer any load containment. You can secure your items with a strap around the bed of your ute but that’s about it. https://wiredpath.wordpress.com/2024/12/27/extra-cab-ute-trays-types-and-features-explained/

I had fun experimenting with drainage channels and ended up designing something interesting—a tray featuring a fully solvable maze! They come with 135 unique mazes and sizes from 10x10cm (~4x4") up to 30x30cm (~12x12").

This afternoon I was getting #takeout at a #drivethrough. I was asked if I wanted a #bag for my order and declined.

At the window. after paying, I was given my meal on a #TRAY. A metal (or plastic colored to look like metal) tray , I kid you not.

And before anyone tells me I sound like #HankHill #Yellingatclouds, I KNOW I sound like Hank Hill (or #GrandpaSimpson). But I can't be the only one who sees a flaw in ditching paper bags, only to replace them with plastic or metal trays.

Can I?

V-Flat World’s Aqua Tray Lets You Easily Create Water Scenes in a Studio https://petapixel.com/2024/08/30/v-flat-worlds-aqua-tray-lets-you-easily-create-water-scenes-in-a-studio/ #studiophotography #vflatworld #Equipment #aquatray #water #News #prop #tray

This is now kind of a dev microblog concerning #Xmoji. I'm kind of stalled, now that version 0.7 seems reasonably stable and portable (I see there's a #nix pkg, unfortunately outdated, and a #NetBSD #pkgsrc port, I will deliver #FreeBSD *soon*).

It misses a few convenience features my previous #qXmoji had: save/restore the window size, optionally enforce a single instance, offer a #tray icon. I'll add all of that, seems straight-forward, for the tray icon I'll only implement the old #X11 spec based on #Xembed and if some desktop environment insists on only supporting the newer standard based on #dbus, well, screw that. Too much complexity, sorry.

The real issue is #localization (#l10n), specifically "just" translations. I still have no good concept for that. With #Qt, it was a no-brainer to also use Qt's mechanism. Without a toolkit, obvious choices would be either #POSIX message catalogs, or #GNU #gettext. The latter is much more convenient, but pulls in extra deps (with #GPL/#LGPL foo). Both have in common that they only operate on char* ... 8bit encodings. I have many of my texts stored as char32_t (#Unicode UCS-4 or #UTF32, difference doesn't matter much here). I could redesign that to base everything on #UTF8, but I'm a bit reluctant ... why add more runtime conversions?

I seriously think about coming up with my own tooling. But then, how far should I jump? Should I really try to parse my own source (using LLVM's #libclang for example)? Or should I hardcode tables with identifiers for all translatable texts?

I'll sleep on that a few more nights I guess....

#xcb #development thoughts:

One of the features I'd like to add to #Xmoji is a "system #tray icon". I know these aren't "en vogue" any more, but I like the concept a lot for an application you'll typically leave running and only use from time to time, which is likely a usage pattern for an "#emoji #keyboard".

So, I found a spec based on #XEMBED, X selections and client messages (therefore, pure X inter-client communication), I think I can implement that!
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/0.2/

Digging deeper, I found there's a successor called #SNI and the spec above is considered "legacy" (after only 20 years, hehe) . SNI is based on #dbus. Oh damn ... it's not that I particularly hate dbus, it probably makes a lot of sense for complex desktop environments, but I really want to keep #Xmoji "plain #X11". I'll just use the old spec. At least I found #KDE seems to have a compatibility service: xembed-sni-proxy. No idea about Gnome. But then, screw it.

1967 A Man in a Tuxedo Holding a Tray of Drinks at an Event

"nothing as electrifying as measures up"

Just launched a delightful new design: a tray with an enchanting engraved labyrinth pattern!

Dive into the maze of details here: https://www.printables.com/model/775239

Crafted to cater to all, these trays range in sizes from a cozy 100mm up to a generous 350mm, complemented by three choices of side thickness to ensure there's a perfect match for both small and large printers alike.

Dive into this labyrinthine adventure and let your prints take you on a journey!

Two additional photos of the plate, where its labyrinth pattern can be seen in more detail.

Though – there are tiny gaps at the corners of the labyrinth walls. They're hardly noticeable from a distance, but up close? Not the prettiest sight.

Just can't decide if this new design should hit the spotlight: it's a plate/tray, but with a twist! I've crafted it with patterned ribs that form a fully functional labyrinth.

Size: About 140x140mm, printed on Prusa XL using a 0.4mm nozzle, and the 3DJake ecoPLA Ultra-Satin Purple gives it that perfect finish.

What do you think? It is worth to generate and publish models files for it?

Transform your serving style with our beautiful Blue Flora Serving Tray! Handcrafted to perfection, this tray is more than just a serving essential – it's a work of art that adds a touch of natural elegance to any setting.

#TIL: Apparently there is a maximum of 10 issues that a single pull request can reference on #GitHub.

@purejava easily exceeds this limit with his PR, adding #appindicator support to @cryptomator, solving plenty of issues caused by the dreadful #AWT #tray icons.

It took some time and effort but we're finally there. We are so grateful for this contribution and I am sure, our #linux users will be as well! Thank you!
