Our comics and jokes go social!
We’re glad to announce that our AI generated comics and jokes website has got an account in our instance of friendica at https://social.lucentinian.com/profile/comics where it will be announcing when a new comic and joke is available.

If you’ve moved to BlueSky, Threads, Mastodon, etc., generally speaking, to the fediverse, you’ll be able to find it and follow it. Just look for it by searching the URL https://social.lucentinian.com/profile/comics

It’s visible even for all these accounts hosted in private instances like in newsmast.community.

If you’re weary of algorithms dictating your reading or viewing choices, consider joining the fediverse! Why wait any longer?
Our jokes and comics through RSS
We’ve added an RSS channel to have our AI-generated jokes and comics directly into your RSS reader.
Add us https://comics.lucentinian.com/rss.xml
This can also be found on the website:

You’ll get them directly along with the articles and news that you’re following already without having to explicitly open our website https://comics.lucentinian.com
Next is shown how one of our comics and jokes generated by our AI appears in an RSS reader mobile app.

What is RSS? In terms of social networking, this is a way used to create your own timeline. Just like in social networks where you’re following other people and pages, for RSS you use an RSS browser, an RSS reader application, register the URL to the RSS source of the blog, online newspaper, etc. to follow. The advantages depend on the reader application, but as you can see in our screenshot above, it is usually built with distraction free graphical interface in mind, with few elements and options, to let you focus on reading the posts.
If you want to learn more about its history and how it works, don’t miss its article in the Wikipedia about RSS.

Comics @ Lucentinian Works Co Ltd
Here at Lucentinian Works Co ltd, we’re glad to present our new in-house project called Comics @ Lucentinian Works Co Ltd.

We can 3D print signs
Signs for companies, for shops, or for just your personal usage to have it hanging at home can be also be 3D printed. Why not to print them with a QR code to the web site of your company too, or for your personal web site, or as part of the background of your YouTube videos?
In web sites like https://printer.tools/qrcode2stl , you will be able to generate the STL file of a QR code that we can load and 3D print it for you.
Did you get your STL files with prototype of models and you want us to help you to print them? Please do not hesitate to inquiry us for quotation!

Because the QR code is printed with the same color than the background, we need to colorize it to make it easily recognizable by the QR code reader (usually your phone).

Below is the 3D printed sign of our company with the 3D printed QR Code ready to be scanned.

Happy New Year! See you in 2024
Looking forward for new projects with you in the new year!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
May Santa give you a lot of presents!
Problems with crypto-mining
Sometime ago we deployed infrastructure for signum coin (formerly called burstcoin) and we posted an article talking about this.
We deployed two miners with 10GB allocated to each one and an instance of signum pool in our machines which was pointing to our signum coin wallet server (full node).
Due some ISP outages, and because mining in the same intranet, we found out that the transaction history in the wallet was forking (bifurcating) from the official network which was requiring to deleting the database of the wallet and resync from scratch because there is no rollback mechanism. Because the isolation problems due the ISP outages, in some other cases, the miners were credited because they found hash for the next blocks, but the payment was blocked because network mismatch.
Because these problems, we are placing on hold the availability of the pool, but we will eventually make it available soon. The wallet server is under resynchronization these days.
