Nondescript Socialisation

The worst part about #developing #35mm #film is realising I now have to #scan it. Time to get the scanner out of the closet, at some point I'll get setup for #dslr scanning.

(#Ilford #Ortho 80 is beautiful though! It only took me 8 months to get through this #roll.)

#GuildWars 1 has dropped for #Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.arena.guildwars.reforged). It runs really well and I was able to use my keyboard/mouse through scrcpy. (Also the option menu is still the PC one with Windowed/Full screen/etc).

It is a little buggy though. But it does look nice!

I went on a #photo #walk last #night in #Calgary #YYC with my #Sony #A100 from 2006, it was fun seeing how limited it was, using period appropriate #Minolta glass and dealing with the fading light.

If you don't have too high of expectations, it even doesn't look that bad taking #portraits (please note my friends very expensive #Nikon camera).

Planning out a #community #zine about #photography , so many small things to take care of before I can start inviting people. Gotta get that pitch completely right for folk to actually be interested.

Why can't I just beam the concept directly into their heads!

Has anyone used the #notepad sized #Rocketbook for #writing ? I am thinking of replacing my normal #pen and #paper #notebook for it, since I don't the #notes and having something that is more reusable would be nice.

But I am wondering if its bulky and that the #pens that you can use with are large?

@tylerknowsnothing hi tyler!!!!!!

You would think as a #photographer I would have a lot of #Photos that I love. But I want to submit to a local #photography #zine and the thought of having to review my stuff is so painful.

I have a little less than a month to do it and I feel like its going to take that much time to get the willpower to do it. I so rarely look at what I've taken, especially in the context of getting them printed.

I assume they're on the move because they need to get their 10,000 steps in.

Darn, I went to try to use a #flash on my #kiev6c and something is up with it. It is supposed to fire at 1/30th and slower, but it only fires at 1/8th and slower. It was CLA'd only a couple years ago and its firing at accurate speed otherwise!

That'll make shooting a struggle.

Has anyone successfully connected the native Android emacs app with termux ? I follow the instructions provided, and it tells me that all the file names are too long.

"can't create /dev/null: File name too long"

early-init.el:

(setenv "PATH" (format "%s:%s" "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin"
(getenv "PATH")))
(push "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin" exec-path)

Was trying to check out #miniflux in a #podman #Container and no matter what I do, it gives me timeout i/o #errors trying to add any #rss feeds. How annoying, it looks like a neat project.

Has anyone used #ejabbered to act as a #matrix #chat #server ? I'm sure what the exact feature set it supports is. Could it be a Matrix server itself instead of #synapse or #conduit ? I ran #prosody as an #jabber / #xmpp server for years and found it suite nice.

It is kind of incredible how expensive and frustrating it is to invest and setup a #NAS . Even off-the-shelf solutions are underwhelming in what they offer for their price, especially in Canada..

For the third year in a row I've bought and built the exact same bookshelf because it was on sale on Black Friday.

Sadly, this'll be the last year of this tradition since I'm out of room! It sure does look good though.

Now the real struggle begins: how do I rearrange it all so that I lose all this new extra space I have!

It came! What a beautiful, purple stand mixer. I am so excited to #bake #bread and all kinds of yummy #snacks and #desserts . First up, #challah bread!

I always forget my oven isn't very wide and had to cut it in half. So good though!

Big, big day. I bought a Kitchen Aid stand mixer after putting it off for a decade. No more kneading by hand!

And its purple!!

Time to buy all the butter in the world and bake all the things!

Ahh, exactly 11 months after I purchased a Power colour AMD 7800XT it died. All the outputs failed, but it is still recognized by my system and can render stuff.

So weird, changed slots, changed power connectors. Fans spin up, LEDs turn on, both Windows and Linux see it - but nothing connected to it.

I've submitted an RMA, hopefully it won't take too longer to get it fixed. But, seriously?

I am already really starting to #miss #summer and going on #hikes in the #wilderness where the #mountains were rolling #hills and so vibrant and green.

Don't get me wrong, I like how the leaves change and #autumn is #cozy , but it is so cold!

Yesterday I completed #anachronox (2001) from #ionstorm. I think this is the first #videogame I've beat in years. It was my first time through it & it was a fantastic experience, despite my absolute hate of #jrpg combat.

Something about a detective sleuth main character, in a #SciFi setting, with fantastic dialogue & incredibly creative locations made it so I couldn't put it down! Its buggy, its old, but I think it may be one of the best games I've ever played!
