Primary hangout of @knapjack, because the Fediverse isn't just one thing.

I snap photos on film, flip bits for a living and live in the subarctic. Be kind, rewind.

At the same time every time I say something critical or cautionary about this app the Apple Truthers come out of the woodwork to infer all kinds of horrible stuff. Which I do not agree with. While I don’t want to see 1Password Sherlocked, I also know that *most people* do not have a password manager and the Passwords App is going to encourage millions of people to dramatically reduce the risk of getting their online lives (which is to say: their lives) wrecked by password stuffing attacks.

Tomorrow I've got an interview with the Financial Times and then the Wall Street Journal to talk about space junk and satellite pollution. So I guess maybe people with money are starting to notice that the commercial space race is a really really bad idea?

Spoiler alertTurns out, Godzilla is just a big electric lizard. Not sure what I was expecting.

My go-to bag for groceries: a double bag that drapes over your luggage rack like a horse saddle bag. Keeps the rain out.

No hooks that break, all you have to do is balance the load. Most double bikebags come with a metal jig that keeps them from sagging onto your wheels. Have I moved watermelons? Yes, I have. Bread? I put it on top of the vegs.

I made a jig to mount/unmount the bag in 10 seconds.

Go here for inspiration, then see if you can get it locally:

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

I just published a long read about keeping your film camera collection in good working condition:

Home Film Camera Maintenance and Basic Repair Guide
https://www.analog.cafe/r/home-film-camera-maintenance-and-basic-repair-guide-yyfg

It has everything I've learned over the past seven years doing the work, including tips on what NOT to do, and all the tools necessary for simple and intermediate repairs.

seven blades

If you're thinking, "I've seen these before," you're right. I was on a pleasant little photo walk with @Vulpy on Sunday. Since his beautiful version of these stalks is very dark, I decided for a highkey approach and tidied up the area a bit. 😉

Square high-key image of seven blades of grass in a pond. Starting from the center of the image, from left to right, the first five blades stand alone and get larger. The last two are a little smaller and cross each other. Everything is reflected in the water surface.

  • Watched the entirety of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and it was way better than I was expecting. Highly recommended.
  • Started Kaos. I forgot how much I like Prometheus as a character, and this is a fun version. #TeamFire

@klizana Have to wait a few more days, turns out I didn't have machine screws small enough in my stash. Right now it's just barely stuck together for the picture. Once it's really assembled I'll do some sanding and figure out what color I want the front grill.

Also thinking of picking up a Sweet Potato just for this case.

I'm the kind of person who will look through 100 different kinds of tortillas in a grocery store to find the ones with the least calories and I am simultaneously the kind of person who will eat an entire bag of tortilla chips without flinching.
