"a yellow in the dreariness"

the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag.


#sundaygimp


(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

STREAM TIME!

Europe. 1632. The Netherlands stand victorious after a long, brutal war against the British. With Albion weakened, it is finally time for the Dutch to turn our attention to the riches of the east... and Japan.

Inertia. Too many don’t want to walk away from their follower counts.

Hundreds of birds were gathered on the lakes as we walked along. Suddenly, they rose in one huge startling screeching cloud of alarm. Nearby birdwatchers said: Havorn. A white-tailed eagle! We watched it swoop at the lake, birds and fish. Even at a distance, its wingspan and speed were terrifying & beautiful.

An amazing experience. Of which I have no photo because I was too enthralled to take one. So now I'm just telling you about it, which is dull for you.

Next up in my series ‘Exciting For Me, But Not For Thee’: I saw a dolphin today!

We watched it play in the bay and shadow a boat. Even at a squinty distance, it was a wonderful thing to see. A joyous experience. Of which I have no photo because I was too enthralled to take one. So now I'm just telling you about it, which is dull for you.

in reply to Ciara

Not dull - I love hearing about good things happening to people & I'm so glad you had this experience!

Plus, it looks like a beautiful day! 😃

in reply to Now -> Her_Doing@sunny.garden

@Her_Doing Thank you! It was indeed a beautiful day, even without the surprise dolphin-sighting. Getting a bit chilly, especially by the water, but with lovely bright Autumn light.
in reply to Ciara

I’m delighted for you. I got to see the toroa (northern royal albatross) by Dunedin, so can appreciate the excitement and the lack of photos.

Du får en storebror til delfinen. En pukkelhval i Puget Sound ved Seattle her i slut juli.
in reply to Ciara

Da hele hvalsafaribåden troede den var væk sprang den op af vandet, helt op, og faldt med verdens største plask, men da var ingen, INGEN, klar med kameraerne. ØV

It is so much better to have experiences than to photograph them!


Tory health reforms left UK open to Covid calamity, says top doctor’s report - theguardian.com/society/articl… "Britain’s pandemic response was among the worst and the #NHS had been ‘seriously weakened’, says leading surgeon"

in reply to Glyn Moody

Thanks. I should say that I am getting better (even if it’s not every day), but this is… not a cold. At the time, it was like half a flu for me with some added weird symptoms. Post, the recovery is taking at least as long.
in reply to Craig Grannell

@craiggrannell yes, some people seem to be affected for quite a while. I hope it clears up in due course


Borders against borders/ Les chiens de berger contre les frontières

Un cadeau qu'on m'a fait... Les border collies sont des chiens de berger originaires de l'Ecosse.
C'est une oeuvre du Syndicat des gardien.nes de troupeaux, on peut la retrouver avec d'autres sur leur site.

Oui, j'ai trouvé aussi. Elle était sympa, il n'y avait pas de quoi se foutre d'elle.


For several years now, I have been actively maintaining emacs-reveal [1] to produce interactive HTML presentations with audio as open educational resources. These presentations are generated automatically from Org mode text files using GitLab CI pipelines.

Summer term 2024 was the first time I incorporated text-to-speech functionality into my emacs-reveal workflow, resulting in video-like, yet interactive presentations: see my course on IT Systems [2]. Since the end of the lecturing period I have been updating software and documentation a bit. Feel free to reuse my course material and emacs-reveal; maybe comment on issue #20 [3]?

For quality assurance, #analytics are necessary for any product. If you want high-end #OpenSource #software then allow the developers to collect useful #anonymous metrics.

in reply to yab

They must be truly anonymous though. If they call it anonymous but actually mean non-identifying , it’s a no from me. An example would be having a device ID attached to analytics data.
in reply to ilyess

@ilyess an individual #OpenSource developer or a typical #FOSS organisation, usually, do not put their interests into collecting personally identifying information. This just an experienced opinion. 😃


Installing #nixos for the first time.

I read that it was a simultaneous blessing and curse. I hope it will grant me effortless reinstall (rebuild as I understand it from nix)
:fingers crossed:

#nixos #linux #learningphase

Woooah reading the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file is very exciting.

It seems better to start on a fresh mind without the old ways of linux I know.

Makes for a lot of reading :
- will look at samples available on some users' repo
- also about the very interesting concept of flakes (gonna have my brain cells burning for a while)

Must admit it looks neat.

che peccato saperlo solo ora... se ce l'avessi avuta da adolescente, avrei fatto uno scherzone da Oscar per gli effetti speciali, sostituendo per tutti gli avventori della spiaggia, la crema solare con un emulsione di tartrazina per poi gridare "AHHH UNO ZOMBIE!"... 😁 😈




G’day friends. I’ve moved temporarily to the NT, but I’ll be back! In the meantime, enjoy this Black Falcon which I encountered just outside Toowoomba while driving to Darwin. A rare visitor to Brisbane, but occasionally seen just west of the Great Dividing Range. Look at those giant claws! 😬 byteseu.com/401821/ #Australia #Brisbane


Protecting Our Home: EMP Survival in a Powerless World by Colton Lively, 2020

A father and his family find sanctuary in their old family homestead, hidden deep in the forest during an EMP crisis.
Cody Russell leaves the city with his family and heads to his father’s old homestead, concealed deep in the woods. For Russell, the only thing worse than failing to reach sanctuary is the failure to protect his family in this dangerous post-EMP world.

Eskimo Social Media Back Online


The following sites share a common server which had failed:

Social Media:

friendica.eskimo.com/
hubzilla.eskimo.com/
mastodon.eskimo.com/

A Federated Search Engine:

yacy.eskimo.com/

A webmail client:

roundcube.eskimo.com/
roundcube.eskimo.com/

And a Linux shell server:

ssh://manjaro.eskimo.com/

After four motherboard replacements, this machine is again operational. It
is an 18-core hyperthreaded (36 thread) machine with 256GB of RAM, the CPU is overclocked at 4.9Ghz. In this configuration it can consume up to 540 watts if running full-tilt and finding a motherboard that could provide the required power was difficult. The Asrock actually melted the solder connections at the CPU socket.

All of these services except the shell server are free, the shell server runs $8/month for a standard account of $84/year.
