my Cicadian rhythm tells me when i should sleep, and when I should be awake and screaming constantly

While we're at it, here is more wide-angle Milky Way #astrophotography

(Nikon D3400, Nikkor AF-S 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G DX ED at 10mm; 15-mm equiv.) ISO800, 9x 10s exposures, and 9x 20s exposures

a lot of what i want is for open source to stop exploiting un or underpaid workers

Two days ago I took my camera on a spontaneous skywatching and made 9 exposures, 30s each. In hindsight, I should have used lower ISO and lower exposure time, and increased the number of shots significantly. Stacked the photos with Sequator; I also tried Siril, but that is a lot more complicated and I can't get much better results out of it, compared to Sequator. Also tried lining up the photo using a screenshot from Stellarium, but it is not quite there... lensfun might not compensate for all.

Turns out the OpenSSL advisory was more disruptive than the vulnerability.

@wxcafe @noracodes in the utility industry they frequently make the distinction between infrastructure that they own outright and shared infrastructure whose costs are "socialized" (industry term!)

@wxcafe i guess you just get to hear my mini-rant about what are effectively coops being faced with the choice to just become owners

@wxcafe the make or break for a small operation where the owners are providing all the labor is what they do when they need more help and what they do when the the opportunity arises to leverage the value their users create.

most small operations fail anyway, so i wait to see what happens at these inflection points

@wxcafe if people need to get paid, i want them to get paid on their own terms without harming me.
