@prologic Ah, that’s not a photo, it’s a screenshot of Stellarium. I never managed to take actual photos of the sun in those two positions, I keep forgetting about it. 🥴

@eapl.me That's a nice quote. I like it.
@prologic Nah, it's really not necessary from my point of view. There's not enough math here that would justify it. In the spirit of simplicity, I'd leave it off. O:-)
@movq The rabbit hole deepens. :-D

@kat Static angles for too long get indeed a bit boring to watch in my opinion, but just experiment with it. What's the worst that could happen? Wasted disk space or people increase playback speed to time lapse or fast-forward. Hence, not a huge issue. Even if only you had fun recording it and learned something along the way, it's already a win. Everything else is a bonus on top.
@lyse Thanks. 😅

The good thing is, I wouldn’t have to write an Ethernet driver, because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Line_Internet_Protocol is a thing, but TCP/IP? Not sure if I want to do that. 😂 I could, of course, come up with my own thing …

@kat Yiha! I reckon the video is a bit squished together on the horizontal axis. Maybe your video site messed something up in postprocessing? No idea. Anyway, you're already better at guitar than I ever was.

If you don't wanna buy a tripod, you could make yourself a makeshift one with some sort of a sandbag, cherry pit pillow or an old, cut off and sewn shut trouser leg section filled with rice, lentils, etc. This gives you a shapeable surface where you can simply rest the camcorder on. It allows for some limited vertical up and down pitch. Obviously, that won't work for extreme angles, but might be just enough for your application of recording at your desk. You just have to watch out for the side to side roll, this could otherwise lead to a slanted sailboat video. ;-)

I'm just basically learning now how ModSecurity rules work and how to write my own.

The builtin OWASP rules are already working nicely 👌 -- And yeah I won't include the WAF on every site block, probably just my main/primary domain where I tend to run demo services and other things.

i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it's just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it's an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it's capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn't gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i'm ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i'll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well~

@lyse it'd be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i'd have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda "sew with me" video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that'd be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i'd LOVE to get a tape camcorder

My #fridayreads is CBA vol 58, the "C'est Bon Anthology" entitled "Modern Glossolalia or the Erosion of Meaning".

How do we talk when words that used to mean certain things have become so vague that they can be freely appropriated by anyone, for any purpose? And what's up with the currently so prevalent flirting with war, fascism and the dehumanization of anyone who doesn't fit into the unspoken and conveniently unspecified national identity?

Released in 2022, it feels even more up-to-date today.

@kat I'm an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)

As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.
Couldn't find anybody to join me this arvo, so I went alone. Only in the forest I began to see real snow. And then of course with each meter of elevation gain. I reckon there were 5-6 cm at the summit, so there is still room for improvement. The weather was absolutely stunning, a sunny blue sky alternating with clouds, most of my hike hardly any wind and 1°C. Climbing the mountain was a different story, the wind hit me hard.

I just love the wind-brushed formations of ice on the twigs and branches. They look soooo incredibly cool. It was kinda hard to capture them on film with the wind pushing everything around.

On the way down I took the narrow and currently fairly slippery path that was closed for some weeks due to felling activity. It looks so different with heaps of trees on the ground now. They've also sawn down the tree with the small hole near the ground (which I think I've shown a few times in the past). The beech in 52 to 54 was probably hit by lightning a few months ago. At least it's completely charred.

@kat @movq Right!? :-) (In retrospect, must be later than elementary school, but still at least a decade old.)

Haaa! It was only now that I realized that gentoo is indeed a penguin species, I never knew that. Nice! I was always under the impression that the Gentoo distribution was simply named after an invented word. Well, I was so wrong. Thanks for teaching me. :-)

@movq I never used DOS or OS/2, but I fully agree with you. A Unix shell with its tool landscape is hard to beat (photo/video viewing/editing aside).
@movq That's so damn cool mate! I went through the code, but this lowlevel stuff is really not my favorite cup of tea. Having said that, it was actually *really nice* to see the abstractions and APIs work together and how things are getting indeed very readable in the userland programs. That's easy to track in this extremely tiny OS implementation. Excellent work, keep on hacking!

Now, you just have to quickly add a network stack and then can write a twtxt client for it! ]:->
