<p>when i did openscad, i just did a minowski hull with a 4sided bipyramid (aka rotated cube) to get chamfers for my cubes.<p>bonus: minowski hull with a round pyramid adds chamfers in the vertical and fillets in the horizontal, which is  what i want for 3d printing most of the time. additionally it closes small overhangs, and it makes fonts smoother (i.e. fonts don't extrude in a 90degree angle, and get 45degree instead, and print better on vertical faces)<p>disclaimer: I havent used openscad for about a year and my memory may be fuzzy<p>edit: i am not saying minowsky hull would directly solve your problem, but maybe the algorithm gives you inspiration to solve your numerical issues</p>

<p>> I don't think open source can get a big market share but it can give you a nice niche market of tech enthusiasts<p>companies and governments in Europe start embracing digital sovereignty. Governments start to realize, that US corporations lie, when they say they won't spy on governments officials.<p>I am not saying, that Europe WILL increase opensource and sovereignty, but odds are good, that a cultural shift away from US-dependence will happen soon, which would include embracing of Opensource</p>

<p>did you have issues with banking apps, authenticator apps or outlook on workprofile?<p>I ask, because when I was using cyanogenmod a hundred years ago, banking apps were a major pain. And now I am using outlook on a flagship with stockrom, and outlook on workprofile is still a major pain, and I can easily imagine, it working even worse on grapheneos.</p>

<p>I selfhost for >10 years, but only for receiving, i.e. I can not send anything from my domain, because I thought that would have been to much stress to set up.<p>My setup: I have a root server with DNS attached to it. On there is a postfix, with a minimal config that forwards all emails to my real address on posteo.eu. And posteo has not given me any trouble with any of my emails at all.<p>I use this setup, so I can easily give new email-addresses to individual web services, and it gives me the option to selectively block these addresses.<p>Last year I brought the big abo from proton, which includes throwaway mailadresses, and I am thinking about migrating my mail setup there.</p>

<p>> No one buys a Porsche because they want a sensible car for their family or they need something with large storage<p>I know two porsche-owners personally. One sometimes uses his porsche (non SUV, but the small fast one) to go on family vacations (with the kids cramped at the too small back seats, which seems funny to me). The other has an SUV and lives in the country with bad roads; They sometimes use their porsche to commute to work and for everyday-stuff like shopping.</p>

<p>I like to browse HN via "/front" and "Go back day" and then look at the couple of top posts for each day. I don't see such a day-by-day view on TPE.<p>What is the "official" acronym? TPE? TP? TecPeu?<p>What is language policy? (e.g. it would be nice if people would post any language they want, and the system shows other users what language the link is, and then offers an alternative link to a translated version. I imagine this would be hard to implement in a way that is robust way, but maybe you when user submit a link, they can set the language themselves)</p>
