I replicated the shot to see it was just a lens reflection thingy, but it was quite the double take to see a glowing orb in the sky in a photo I did not see IRL.

Welp, it's looking increasingly like I'm gonna spend the night or so in my car stick in snow related traffic. Could be worse though, got my wind up radio and a bunch of goodies. Wish me luck internet.

Really grammerly? We're talking about a fictional piece of technology being disabled using a backdoor.

Made a blog post about some photo effects/filters and also created a page on my site dedicated to some of my favorites photos. Blog post: https://nate.mecca1.net/posts/2024-11-12_photo-filter-fun/ Favorite photos page: https://nate.mecca1.net/pages/photos/ Some photos from both (photos in avif, if they don't work in your client they'll work in your browser - sorry, but space savings were too great to not convert): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/filters/gimp/01.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/wny-landscapes/17.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/wny-landscapes/29.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/portraits/01.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/more/03.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/filters/im/04.avif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t3/photos/refs/heads/main/filters/gimp/17.avif #photography #blog #blogstr

Tried my hand at astrophotography the other night, pretty happy with how things turned out. Google Camera with the astrophotography setting, output as raw and edited in darktable Short timelaps from G Cam https://assets.pxlmo.com/public/m/_v2/734359577006633835/0bb057b62-db9a0d/opNy6BZInO12/LkBz2PpBeR3uUscWxxxbflaBKEBC3I7xqZ3MVqUP.mp4 G Cam (strait to JPG, no edits) Open Camera (manual mode) (p.s. Gcam services provider will get Google Camera working on a degoogled phone) #photography #astrophotography

Mini rant time: So I wanted to have a photo carausel on my blog I manage with Hugo. Well, it's not supported by Hugo so I'll just get a shortcode, simple right? One didn't work and one didn't work with remote images, so I'll just make my own. Can't be that hard. I made a bunch of "code" that failed, tried to take my failing code to Dolphin 2.2.1 Mixtral and Chat GPT who couldn't fix my broken code. At this point hours have gone by. Then I get this bright idea 💡. Hey chat GPT "make me a Hugo shortcode for a photo carousel". Bam, done. All I had to do was give it a second prompt to add a carousel ID (so I can have multiple on the same page) and tweak the image size to be relatively to the screen size (2 characters manually changed). Seems to work flawlessly.

Anyone know what's up with the Firefox fork Fennec? I got a warning the other day that there were security vulnerabilities in the app, and upon checking when the last version was compiled it was in August. The source code link just takes me to Mozilla's repos. Disabled the app and switched browsers for the moment, but wanted to know if anybody knows what's going on with it. If not, anybody know of any other Android Firefox forks that cut Mozilla things out? #asknostr #fennec
