November Sunset
Cento, Italy

23/11/2012

(There's a story behind this photo. I was walking alone, attempting to unwind after a particularly rough day. Behind me was the local cemetery (the road leading to it).
I noticed this light and grabbed my Galaxy Nexus. Although the phone had a subpar camera, this time, with some minor color adjustments, it produced a surprisingly good result.)

The photo shows a tree-lined path during autumn. The trees have dense foliage in shades of yellow and green, suggesting early autumn. A carpet of fallen leaves covers the path, which is centered in the photo and stretches into the distance where the setting or rising sun casts a warm glow. The sky is not visible, and there are no people or animals seen. The overall ambiance is serene and picturesque, typical of an autumnal scene.

Migrated to a new instance, time for a refresher #intro

If you are seeing this post that is likely because you followed me before at my old account at @fiery@mastodon.sdf.org

The fine folks there apparently were having some scaling issues and since I also wanted to be using a server software that is less wasteful, I moved here to bsd.cafe, graciously hosted by @stefano@bsd.cafe

If you are unsure whether you want to follow me, what is likely to be seen here is mostly pictures of #vegan food, #nature, #baking, and you will may also see me sometimes ranting about #technology, #programming, #privacy. Some of my interests in technology include #unix, #openbsd, #golang, #security. Glad to be on this new instance, hello bsd.cafe and snac.bsd.cafe people!

I believe that the events of the last few days have finally clarified the reasons why Elon Musk bought Twitter.

The return on investment, of course, is not and never has been in the platform itself.

@pineywoozle (s) for HARRIS

@stefano A lot of us have been screaming this non stop since his Saudi backers bought it for him.

@stefano The moment he said he was a "free speech absolutist" it was absolutely clear as day he had evil intentions.

The BEST improvements to that platform right now would be:

1.) Disable backups forever.
2.) chmod -R 400 / across all systems.
3.) Purge all entries from public DNS.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.62 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added a new user option to collapse top level threads by default.

Added a new disable_block_notifications boolean field to server.json to disable the notifications of Block activities.

Added a new strict_public_timelines boolean field to server.json to only show an account's posts and boosts (no trees) in public timelines.

Fixed repeated images in posts from some implementations (those that include an image both as an attachment and as an <img> tag inside the post content).

Added a small HTML/CSS tweak to improve post previews from some implementations (contributed by nyanide).

Notifications for EmojiReact activities now show the emoji.

New command-line action insert, to insert a post by its URL in a user's timeline.

Fixed bad processing/rendering of URLs with two or more @ symbols.

This release has been inspired by the song Subways Of Your Mind by #FEX.

October 2022 and proof that the North Sea can be calm and relaxing for #MeerMittwoch this week. In case you need some calm and relaxing imagery right about now.

#Travel #Photography #Cruise #TravelPhotography #NorthSea #SeaWednesday #OceanWednesday #Sea

We're at sea with an almost unbroken view of the water and sky, save for a few tankers or cargo carriers almost on the horizon ahead of us and the start of a wind farm just coming into view in the distance on the left. The sky has large puffy clouds in places, mostly white but with some light grey on their left sides telling us the sun is coming from the right somewhere, and the blue where it shows is deep and warm so it feels like evening is approaching. The sea isn't quite flat but almost so, reflecting the whites of the clouds in long, striped lines towards us; its colour is nearly black close to us, shifting to a deep, almost metallic blue as it meets the sky midway. It's very quiet, very relaxing.

Friends of the #BSD world, has anyone among you tested "side-by-side" the performance of a nginx/FreeBSD and relayd/OpenBSD reverse proxy?

Hi, #snacizens. After much hesitation, I finally did what some fellow users suggested: I created a Liberapay account. Until now, I used to accept small donations via ko-fi.com; this will still be possible. This Liberapay account is also linked to a new Stripe account, so any one of you not having a credit card (or disliking Paypal) can also contribute.

Any help will be greatly and sincerely appreciated.

Here it is: https://liberapay.com/grunfink/

Thank very much to everybody.
