I've made some minor updates to http://guidetomastodon.com in the last week, since we have more people showing up. The biggest change was updating the PDF version; it had been a while since I'd done that. As always, please free to comment or submit a change yourself if there's something you'd like to see in the Guide that's not there already.
urgent aid request for my friends
my friends cass and lynn are in a bit of uncertainty and potential crisis
I can't give a lot of details but they do not feel safe and they need to save up to find their own place
lynn's paypal is PayPal.me/revelynn
Lynn's venmo is @RevelinInEvelynn if that is preferential, and @birdlegscass is cass's
cass also made a really cute little game called Pyo and sales of that help too https://birdlegscass.itch.io/pyo
begpost; mutual aid; boosts please;
it's ya girl, me.
here I am begging if anybody could spare some money or attention.
I've barely been able to sleep due to anxiety caused by being unable to work and having no money on my account with the bills coming in fast.
I can do tarot readings, some pixel art commissions, spreadsheets and game design consultancy. You can hit me up and we can work anything out.
and of course each and every boost helps immensely so I can reach some more people.
please, I'm begging. help a trans black gal out >.<
once again thanks everybody for the donations and attention

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
@noelle you won a novel that you've already read :)
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.
@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net @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!)
