@decryption @jpm The D610 that youv’e been talking heaps about is an F-mount FX camera.

@decryption @jac_kie_co I’m amazed with medium format film cameras, can’t imagine how mind exploding a digital medium format camera would be.

blog post where I compare a bunch of cameras under $1000 to find the best one for someone looking to get back into the hobby

@decryption boo Sony. But in all seriousness, you can get an adapter for Sony E mount to use Nikon F lenses.

@decryption You have. It sounds like you have decision paralysis. Almost any camera made in the last 5 years is going to be amazing.

@duncan_bayne @decryption Point and shoots have been lacking in the R&D department for many years. If you want great low light performance you’ll have to pay big bucks for newer mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Or you could try the Fujifilm X100V or X100VI. But they’re very expensive.

Okay, so my wife's business site stopped building on Cloudflare Pages because one of the Nuxt generated files - a JSON file - exceeded 25MB.

Just what was this file and why was it so big?

Was it even needed?

@damieng Wow 25MB down to 53KB! What a difference.

really wish the internet was as interoperable as designed, so I could see all my friends posts on various platforms (X, Threads, Masto, Instagram Stories, Facebook, etc) in the one spot now that everyone's been shaken out of the Twitter tree and settled on their little patch of internet land

Having a charge-the-collection day. Every time I do this iPod I forget it's a HD based machine until partway through it fires up the drive with a noise that sounds like the ones that early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other on the walls.

@NanoRaptor “early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other” I am all too familiar with that sound.

Ok computer-touches of the fediverse, I’ve had enough of the Windows fucks and will be installing Debian <soon>. Maybe 20 years has been enough for a viable Linux on the desktop, who knows…

So what window manager are the cool kids using these days? Is Enlightenment still a thing? I want to not have fuck with things

georgeharito,

@jpm Grab a few Debian-based distro ISOs, burn them to a USB drive and boot em up one by one to see what you like. I recently upgraded my ancient ThinkPad T430s which half its shit was not working / detected by the version of Ubuntu MATE I had installed on it, so over a few nights I picked up some other distros and tried them one by one. Eventually I settled on Linux Mint Debian Edition, am very happy with my choice. Most kids nowadays use GNOME, and it’s nice I guess but some of its paradigms didn’t rub well with me, hence sticking with Cinnamon (what LMDE uses as a DE).

@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@jpm (forgot to mention, the upgrade I did was from a T430s to a T480s, which is lightyears better than the prior machine)

Stack Overflow originally came about to replace sites like the shit-show that was Experts Exchange. Stack Overflow has now become a shit-show.

@dbarros “now”? That “now” has been going for a few years now. There’s just another layer of enshittification with the recent OpenAI stuff.

Finally, all those years of reading and copying code from StackOverflow and related sites, while not giving anything back to the community, is paying off. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/6/24150341/openai-stack-overflow-partner-api-coding-assistance

I’m in a couple of Melbourne history Facebook groups, where someone will post a historical tidbit. Someone else will post a comment adding to the history, whether they read it somewhere, or actually lived it. One example is how radio licences were a thing back when radio was new in Australia, one scheme being listeners having to pay a subscription to a particular radio station – that didn’t last long.

There’s always one boomer saying “Well I lived in Melbourne in the 1960s and I have no recollection of that ever happening”, insinuating that the information is completely wrong, because they personally did not experience it.

I love how these boomers always think that they are the main character. And I love correcting them – “The scheme was abolished in 1923 Karen, well before your personal recollections of the 1960s”.

lets say i wanted to use something that isn't a smartphone for TOTP purposes - what's out there? something stand alone, probably not internet connected or reliant on a business providing updates to keep it working, and that I can have multiple copies of

@decryption @wezm I remember my Handspring Visor, I loved that thing, but it was just a toy for me as I was in uni and didn’t really use it for any serious work.
