After an intense two-day journey, I've completed the design of a custom-designed closet, tailored to work around some technically challenging, awkwardly placed pipes.

For this project, I chose #FreeCad, but be warned - its user interface is not for the faint-hearted, especially for those used to 3D CAD tools. It took a solid four hours to get past its unique UX, but after that, it was smooth sailing.

I'm sharing 3D renders of the final design here. Please be tolerant of any lack of polish in the rendering - it's my first time using this software.

To aid in the build, I also used & improved a script that generates a Bill of Materials (BOM) and precise dimensions for each custom-cut piece. This will ensure every part fits just right in the tight spaces.

The script is available here. >> https://code.apps.glenux.net/glenux/freecad-macros/src/branch/master/create-bom/CreateBOM.FCMacro.py

Kudos to @FreeCAD for its powerful capabilities (behind a challenging facade)! ...and now, it's time to cut some wood!

Minimalist FUSE Manager (mfm): a simple command-line helper for FUSE filesystems (sshfs, gocryptfs, httpdirfs, etc.)

An animated gif demonstrating the features of MFM : configuring FUSE filesystems, using mfm to attach a remote http web page as a filesystem (with httpdirfs), navigating directories and accessing the files, using mfm again to detach the filesystem

@regis Hi Regis, I saw on HN the link to your project "Officelife.io", which looks very cool. I saw "Coming May 2022" on the website, I clicked and wrote my email address... and then... error message! (I thought you might be interested)

You too would have liked to follow 5+ conferences simultaneously at #FOSDEM? For next year: you can get the #FOSDEM videos during the event by recording them yourself with fosdem-recorder .

That way you can watch the conferences you missed, as soon as the first day is over (and play them back in x2 speed), just after the beer break :-)

P.S: don't overuse it though, and be aware that the "official" videos are usually uploaded a few hours/days after the conference.
