    Every once in a while they’ll send you an email with special CSS styling so you can’t avoid seeing it and you can’t unsubscribe from it. They call it a newsletter. It’s advertising. It’s less news and more begging you to buy more of their stuff. Very occasionally they’ll bump new features onto a higher tier but still show that feature in your UI, with special CSS styling. God forbid if they try to upgrade your account but you deny because you’re happy with the features you have now and the amount you pay; they push harder and harder the longer you’re on a ‘legacy’ tier.

    It happened to me. It’ll happen to you.





  • Took an angle grinder to a mini-ITX case to fit a full ATX size board in it.
    The board is resting unsecured on an anti-static bag and has a few mm of wiggleroom.
    The powersupply is resting, unsecured to anything, on top of the PCIe lanes.
    The rear fan is pressed up against the back grill by cables.
    The harddrives are just kinda chilling where-ever.
    The cables are routed with hopes and dreams.

    This is a hypervisor and is the backbone of all my infrastructure.

  • What is photo sorting? I do not know what Shotwell or DigiKam is.

    My workflow (Linux) is I open a file manager on my SD card and let it generate thumbnails. Then I quickly nuke all of the obviously unusable pictures. Then I do another pass where I actually open and look at the images and nuke the ones with flaws I don’t want to or can’t fix. Then I pull everything remaining into Darktable and play around with the most interesting pictures I took to get them done and finished while I’m motivated and then I’ll look at the rest to see if I can make something interesting of them else they get deleted and the cycle begins anew.




  • Jeg sidder med en brandert lige nu så jeg beklager at det ikke bliver en deep-dive men mine problemer er med Matrix er

    1. Protokollen selv er utroligt ‘bloated’, og prøver at gøre alt for mange ting. Det er ikke kun en chat protokol.
    2. Matrix Foundation has altid været super mærkelig med deres penge https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/571
    3. Jeg gider ikke finde detaljerne nu men der er også et split imellem deres developers og ‘the foundation’. Det er i det hele taget meget rodet.
    4. (jeg synes) de fleste klienter er clunky at bruge og jeg slåsser med UI’et mere end på nogen anden platform.
    5. Jeg kan ikke hoste min egen instance fordi Synapse kræver utroligt meget processorkraft hvis man slår federation til. Der er kommet nye backends og protokollen har fået nogle nye ting der skulle hjælpe med det, men jeg gider ikke at prøve igen lige pt.




  • Oh yeah everything on manual. AF and Stabilizer off. Overexpose the first shot by a huge margin and don’t you dare touch the camera once it’s set up because even at 70mm that’ll misalign everything so use a remote shutter or the built-in timelapse function that Canon has made so inconvenient to use that I chose to sit and click manually with a timer on my phone.
