You are right, FiveM is absolutely worth mentioning separately as it seems to underpin most modded servers. I'm aware of the distinction and I wasn't attempting to downplay the work people put into the FiveM framework or non-Nopix

One of the big open questions now is the ability to mod GTA6 (or whatever the next major installment is called). Nopixel[0], a roleplay-focused modded GTAV server built on the FiveM framework[1], has absolutely exploded in popularity during

I'm going to push back on this statement, as I spend my day-to-day more immersed in the non-techy car world than in the HN tech world. I see a lot of frustration with new tech features among car reviewers and enthusiasts. You can read

I'm not who you are replying to, but I would recommend the textbook "Machining Fundamentals" by Walker and Dixon. It's the best 101-level introduction to the topic that I have found. The tool manufacturer Sandvik also ha

Fadal VMC40 CNC mill. Mine is a 1984, making it one of the first ones made. This was one of the first wave of CNC machines made and priced for a smaller job shop environment. It's not large (axis travels are 20" X, 16" Y) and

I'm also a fan of hand planes. It's worth noting that Lie-Nielsen Toolworks currently makes very, very nice updates of these old designs with blades made of modern tool steel. Arguably they are the best bench planes ever made, eve

I spent a bit working at a custom stairbuilder. Handrails that smoothly curve in three dimensions, either to connect straight sections or along a curved stair, are called "tangent" handrails. Constructing these tangent handrails i

The design would be first more-or-less worked out on paper, using various drafting tricks such as french curves or tensioned wooden strips. This can then be translated to a series of full-scale wooden templates, either interlocking 2D secti

Pricey, but priceless for someone who is spending even a moderate amount of time enjoying the backcountry. In context, a typical REI-equipped backpacker is spending $100+ on boots, $200+ on a tent, $200+ on a pack, $100+ per piece of high q

The most interesting part of the story is the $3900 electric crate motor that can now be ordered direct from Ford. I'm interested in the impact this will have on the electric motor retrofit scene. I'm not familiar with all the opt

If you have a vehicle that needs high octane racing fuel, it's already necessary in some places to go to a specialist shop and buy the fuel in individual cans like you would buy motor oil. This would just become the norm.
