I usually shut those "I have nothing to hide" arguments by asking the person what's more creepy: you closing your curtains trying to get privacy, or your neighbor trying to peek in, asking you "why do you need curtains? You've got nothing to hide right?"

That usually gets the point across...

So I've thought about making an inpainting tool for removing useless red circles from memes, but your idea might be better tbh.

My grandma is still living in Lithuania, and as I've heard she's been told multiple times to prepare canned food for an all out war. If I remember correctly the government told her to keep at least a months worth of food and water In case it gets rough.

Original Post

This time i set up my old dslr and a tripod for the shooting, and i shot 70 30s frames. It seems like there's a problem with sharpness, but im not sure if its because i lack a star tracker, the lens was slightly out of focus, or because of atmospheric wobble.

Here's some behind the scene images:

The camera is a nikon D5100, a low/midrange camera from almost 14 yeas ago mounted to a cheap tripod. The white box on top of said camera is the battery which i made from 2 old powerbanks because im a cheapass and couldnt be asked to buy a proper one :)

I saw the nothern lights too!

I took about 30 raw 30s exposures from my phone propped up on the roof, stacked them with deep sky stacker, and I'm impressed at the result.

This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.

Jeg har lagt merke til at de siste årene, når en butikkarbeider spør meg om jeg vil ha kvittering, og jeg sier "nei takk" så får jeg den allikevel. Er det en greie at de fleste hører "takk" og antar jeg vil ha kvitteringen, eller er det sånn at de må alltid gi kvitteringer til kunder?

Jeg har alltid sagt nei takk til kvitteringer, men de siste årene så har det poppet opp en trend der de bare gir meg kvitteringen selv om jeg sier nei.

I've tried posting an h264 mp4 file from a webserver i own, and I noticed that most clients fail to load or outright crash when trying to open the post. Some give an "invalid MIME type" error even though "video/mp4" is a valid one. Posting the link as a hyperlink works, but then you don't get a preview. So what's the best way to share video on lemmy? Is it youtube/imgur or am I doing something wrong?

Using our implementation of Microsoft recall, we can see that you're calculating the price for your online purchase of Samsung AiPro Washing machine. We can see you can't afford it, but don't worry! We've applied a 10% coupon to your purchase so it'd be a bit cheaper for you!

Still not good enough? Try our Ai powered financing application!

Pro tip : if you're on an android phone, specifically a Samsung device, you can download an app called Sound Assistant by Good Lock Labs. Open it, and scroll down to the bottom setting called Multi sound and set it to the on position. That should disable the feature that pauses audio from a previous source when a new source appears, eg: music playing in the background gets paused by an autoplaying ad on a website

Not to say they did a bad job hiding usage of chat gpt, but they did a surprisingly bad job at hiding the usage of chatgpt on their article....

Cant wait for these learning platforms to include shitpost code because the ai was trained on reddit
