Some photographers I know are raving about the Kodak Charmera. I don't understand. It doesn't seem that small, it is certainly not cheap at $30, and the image quality is utter, utter crap.

"Gateway to a standalone digital camera"?? Oh shut up.

Fortunately it's not for sale in Europe, at least not when I searched for 2 minutes.

@howtheracewaswon Had been for a WHILE, according to his sufferface at least.

@howtheracewaswon Almost! 4:54 for Nys apparently.

@howtheracewaswon Sporza speculating if this will be the most laps ever. But probably not: of the world cups, Roubaix 2012 also had 12 laps. Fastest U23 lap was 5:00.

A classic for #caturday and an old favourite, on board the HMAS Encounter in WW1. #makekittensnotwar

@anna "Ah yes", he nods as if he understands.

@anna ... animal crossing? I have seen adults posting about it.

@howtheracewaswon I WAS THINKING THAT!!!

@mjtsai Interesting intro to passkeys by Mike Pound on Computerphile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYfiOnufBSk

He cheekily asks at the end: "If you know how to solve this, leave a comment!" regarding losing your authenticator or client device. He answers it himself at 9:15 : use a password manager. But that leads to vendor lock-in, passkeys that can't be exported etc. Video is too short for that topic, unfortunately.

more on the pee incident that didn't happen, if you're curious

In the bash script, edit the LAT/LON parameters for your own location. I used 2 decimals as examples but provide more for more accuracy, up to 5 or 6 can be meaningful.

Happy Solstice! My own super-localised minute-accurate sun chart, data via https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/ or actually my own bash script using 'bc' to calculate the Meeus formulae they provide https://github.com/ednl/shellscripts/blob/master/sun

@howtheracewaswon Shame that we JUST didn't get to see where Brand passed Alvarado again, what she explained in post: "A. couldn't stand on the pedals anymore so I took my chance."

@howtheracewaswon However, running seems to be hard for Puck. Has to throttle.

I sometimes go to #Strava in the browser, on my computer like a chump, but often find I am logged out AGAIN, and they don't properly tag the email field so my password manager won't help, and they want to switch me to a passkey, YES I WANT TO KEEP USING MY PASSWORD, so I say: fuck you, and I leave.
