Lost - seriously fuck that show Prison Break Heroes The Walking Dead Dexter

Are the first to spring to mind…

16:9 crop if it’s of use to anyone for a desktop wallpaper.

Sexy Beast - fantastic film; one of the best opening scenes put to film. It has everything from fantastic acting, great story, great music and just an all round enjoyable film.

Yes, I had dabbled a bit with astro photography with wide angle lenses and thought the zoom might be too heavy for the mount. Used a Sky Adventurer 2 tracker and had to use an additional weight to balance the lens.

Really happy with the way it turned out.

Thank you. I think it’s small in the sky and quite difficult to see. I used a star finder app on the phone; starting at 200mm until I found it then zoomed in and took some test shots at 600mm until it was in the frame. It’s still kind of a fuzzy blur in the frame. Then set it to take the images and it’s only once you stack the images and then stretch that the details really come out. It’s really great fun from start to finish. (My first edits were dreadful; learnt a lot through a discord forum on how to do the processing)

It blow my mind too. The scale of everything is just crazy. To think this is over 2.5 million light years away and the number of stars in it is about double the Milky Way. All the stars we see are closer and the galaxy is much further in the background. Just been watching a fantastic YouTube video about Andromeda and the whole space/time phenomenon is just mind blowing.. What a time to be alive to be able to capture and see these things without specialised equipment.. Amazing!

To be fair I pretend to be my own secretary when answering cold callers.. I urge others to do the same. You can get them running round in loops..

Around Black Friday time they have had sales and you get both for a year for around 20€ so the lifetime subscription doesn’t look so much of an attractive deal.

Pisser isn’t it.. ;-)

50+ gamer here and my social circle all game. Wife doesn’t like to use the controller but will sit through and give hints with the puzzles. (We tend to play adventure/puzzle games) My father in law who is 84 still games. There is no age limit. Do what you enjoy and find people who enjoy it with you.

Currently live in Portugal and the rail network sucks. Talk of a high speed link through Spain but Spain doesn’t want to play ball. Central Europe has great rail but move to the edges and it’s absolute ass. (Have lived in Germany and France where the situation is much better)

Thank you.

Yeah done with a 200-600 telephone lens.

Many thanks.

Thank you! Can’t wait for a clear sky to try some more. Next target will be the horse head nebula..

Used a sky adventurer 2i. (Brilliant piece of kit)

Germany calling. Shot internet here. On my village (close to Ulm) telecom will give you a maximum 16mb dsl which in reality is around 8 down for 40€ a month.

Installed Starlink and get 150 to 250 down and 30 up for 65 a month.

Bitwarden for me too. Small price to pay. Signal is another and tend to chuck a few euros to lots of small freeware developers if I use their software often.

Seriously though not sure why all images are in this orientation. From where I am (South Germany) it’s actually upside down. Was told to rotate it 180 degrees as that the way it’s normally depicted..

Many many thanks for this. Got up and running in no time. Loving the communities and the lack of toxicity in the posts and comments. What a breath of fresh air!

Just needs traction and more users. Doing my bit posting and getting involved in the discussions. Really scratches that Reddit itch without the dirty feeling that I am supporting some wanker CEO.

Not an awful lot I suspect…

Cheers!

At work we had lots of old laptops, poor battery life, small hard drives, etc. I cleaned them up and installed pfsense on them and gave them to colleagues as home firewall/kid web filters. Others we popped xp on them and set up mame / emulator to give to their kids.

Did the same. 12 year account with posts and comments for a wide variety of subs. Used Nuke Reddit History add on which edits the comments and then deletes them. I started it a week ago and each day run it again for the posts it missed. Will delete the account on 1st July. No Regrets..

Pretty much nothing if it’s digital services with no goods or payments in the EU.(unless the eu puts pressure on the 3rd countries government)

Not safe enough it would seem. There’s also rumours of shenanigans with the safety approval sign offs.

I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would go inside that thing. It’s nothing like the craft Cameron went down in. This looked to be a bare bones metal tube with no seats.
