  • I’m not a cartographer, but the way I’d tackle this is to drill a small hole in the globe and spray paint in through it, so that the inner surface is opaque white. Then I would put together a cheap turntable-style 3D scanner using an off-the-shelf camera (there are open source designs available for this that you can buy as a kit or print using a 3D printer, then assemble following step-by-step instructions). Then, after scanning the globe and obtaining a textured 3D model of it, it should be relatively easy to convert the globe’s texture from a spherical shape to a standard map projection using software. I don’t know what software that would be offhand, but I’m sure it exists.








  • Thanks, I don’t believe this is related to federation since the posts do show up in the feed and I am able to save them, or so it appears. They just don’t show up in my saved posts when I later go and check. All other saves across all other sources seem to work fine, it’s specific to lemmit.online saves for some reason. Haven’t seen anybody else discuss this, but it isn’t a popular source of content here either so that could be why.
