Fly-by.

Or how to be caught out with the wrong lens on. This was a manual focus 2x macro lens...

Here is where I admit that the red backing for OFF wasn’t planned and covers a mistake. Somehow I managed to remember to adjust the A for a stencil cut but completely missed the O. Oops I was intending on backing the hands because it made the graphic better, so I added it to OFF as well. Red seemed a good choice which made me choose blue for the hands just to throw the colors of our flag into those fascist fake patriot faces.

Got a notification from my NAS, saying it's running low on disk space. It says it has only 3.5 TB left.

(Yet weirdly Windows also refuses to copy all of today's photos onto it, saying I need to free another 10GB.)

There's a mismatch of disk sizes, though. Come to think of it, that disparity is about 3.5 TB.

Upgraded my Pleroma to version 2.9.0, that came just out today. Or actually yesterday by now, because it took longer than expected. Maybe I missed some versions, but for me the upgrade was not as simple as suggested.

In this version I also needed to upgrade to a newer Elixir version. And there were also some migrations still to run. Upgrading Elixir turned out to not be possible on an old Debian server, so I needed to switch over to using asdf to get the newer version; but that doesn't work nicely with the systemd service file... I have to figure a better solution for that later, it is late, now I have just hardcoded the paths.

So far came across these:

• Gulf of West Russia
• Gulf of Moscow

More issues with trakt. I'm using an app to keep track of films and tv episodes I've watched and which I have in my collection. Lately it's been giving me an error saying that the list is full, like it says I own too many DVDs. Maybe true. Turns out that the API the app uses, trakt, has overnight and without any emailing existing users, introduced a limit of 100 items you are allowed to have in your collection.

Initially they counted individual tv episodes, meaning that if you owned a box set of one tv show you may already have been over the limit. But they corrected that. Now I still have 162 shows and 182 films marked as collected (I know, I have not been keeping it complete), way more than allowed.

The solution is to pay, as free accounts have become unusable. But they have only one membership plan and it costs more than a streaming service does. 😥

This is the same service that recently was offline for several weeks because they couldn't restore backups. It's also the same service that has their 'inventory' still messed up since they switched providers for the episode data a few years ago. The same service that also doubled their subscription price recently. It's not all inspiring confidence.

It's just chocolate sprinkles... I don't get why foreign journalists are so obsessed by it that they write this whole BBC article about us eating hagelslag on a sandwich. I had it today...

Birds are weird...

...or when you need a wide angle lens for bird photography.

Roxy Furman made this beautiful film of her encountering pelicans and includes some incredible photos.

Buzzards (I presume) seen from my balcony. The local newspaper in Best had just printed an article that they were spotted in town and they were not wrong. I think I saw four flying together over my flat, I don't know whether that's normal behaviour.
