@bender@twtxt.net Just like you, I change the wallpaper on my PC more often! However, @prologic@twtxt.net’s “Lake View” photo is perfect for my laptop, where I spend quite a bit of time.

A mate and I met at the scout yard to prepare an upcoming workshop. Boy did we have an amazing sunset when we left. The photos don’t reflect it, it was a hell lot more beautiful in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/plaetzle-2025-04-11/

@ionores@twtxt.net that ought to be some photo! I change mine at least once a month or so. It keeps me entertained.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I still have a photo taken by @prologic@twtxt.net as wallpaper on my laptop (Linux)! 😀

Hit by the arvo sun rays behind the window I was convinced that it is t-shirt weather. Deep blue sky, yeah, for sure! It turned out to be just 15°C and declining, though. So, I had to wear my jacket on today’s windy stroll. Pretty nice. Didn’t take many photos, but there you go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-10/

And we’re back to the regular landscape! Not only in subject but also photo orientation. No more silly portrait. I can’t recall it exactly, but I reckon that was one of ~20°C days. The evening sun was really crazy that day, made a great combination with the puddles: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-02/

@david@collantes.us This pink tree I featured in a few shots is a magnolia tree. I haven’t noticed any particular smell, it just looks pretty. :-) That’s a close-up: (I only noticed the spider and its web when I reviewed my photos.)

The photo series covering old stuff continues. This time, Gundelsheim. Actually, mostly the castle hotel Horneck, I hardly took any photos from the town itself. I really should have, though. Let me just blame… aehm… yeah, the rain! It’s totally the rain’s fault!! When it started to drizzle, I actually took the first photos, so it’s a total lie. https://lyse.isobeef.org/schlosshotel-horneck-in-gundelsheim-2025-03-30/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The bird in the wallpaper? That’s a photo from a trip to a local zoo. 😃 This little guy was sitting in one of the bushes and didn’t mind people getting rather close. Full version and more from that day.

@eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Not including a photo was a stupid move, sorry. There you go:

This particular one is 95mm wide and 185mm high. Fairly compact.

I can only use it figure out distances to other dates and to do some basic calendar math. I’m not able to actually schedule anything. But I grew up with a month calendar like you have there where all appointments of the entire family was recorded.

By far most of my paper use is drawing random stuff on scratch paper during meetings. :-D

I watched two squirrels this morning for about half an hour: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eichhoernchen-2025-03-11/ They were super crazy fast. Also, they bit off plenty of twigs and carried them around, not sure where they put them. I’ve never seen them do that before. Once more I realized that I need a better zoom.

Which photos would you remove?

I went on a 5:30 hours long hike to my second backyard mountain. About 12km to get there and roughly 9km on the way back. It was super nice, sunny all day long, 12°C and luckily just a little bit of wind. Great scenery. I managed to capture one great spotted woodpecker hammering along. There was also a kestrel hovering over a meadow and then landing on a sports field light pole. At the castle ruin I could watch 10-12 gliding red kites (with the V-shaped tail) and other raptors, maybe bussards, I don’t know, for about five minutes. That was fascinating. Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t too well with moving targets.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That’s cool, dedicated parking for snow. :-) There are also some rather large icicles. Thanks for sharing this photo! <3

Very sunny 16°C, heaps of people outside. As soon as we were a bit further into the forest, we had it completely for us. From the foot we thought that the view might be rather good, but up at the summit, it turned out to be very hazy. Oh well. Surprisingly, I found four skyrocket sticks in premium quality. More than after New Year! Also, we came across two deer. It was a very nice two hours walk. No photos, though, sorry.

Nice photo. The fire looks like magic.

@prologic@twtxt.net Here’s mine.

Okay, I won’t park there.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)

I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Sorry, I realized that shortly after posting. Here’s another attempt to post the images:

On a vu The Brutalist hier soir. Je suis très surpris de ne voir aucun commentaire nulle part sur la toute fin du film, la dernière image, presque subliminale. Elle résonne pourtant si fort avec la dernière phrase du film, l’interrogatoire du début, la photo de l’entracte et bien d’autres éléments… Peut-être que je me trompe #cine #film

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

Yeah, @bender@twtxt.net, I absolutely love it! :-D Monty Python just rocks!

This very knight inspired me to make myself a knight helmet with opening visor out of an old washing machine sheet metal years ago for a theater play. It was really great fun, both making the helmet as well as using it during the week in the play as a silly and shady prince who got all his tracts of land by winning dubious games.

I just couldn’t really hear very well in it. And if somebody hit me on the head or just slightly knocked on the helmet, it was incredibly loud. No fine craftmanship by any means and obviously historically extremely questionable at best, but it did the job well enough. One of the running gags was that I had to open the visor when I wanted to talk. Here are some photos in action, you’ll find many more when surfing through the gallery:

• https://wawuwo.de/2016/woche2/freitag/036.html#image In one lunch break my page and I decided to dress up and play a game of dice against the kids. However, we used badly cogged dice. We just added a few dots of paint on one of the two dice, so that it had two fours, two fives and two sixes or something like that. I always told my opponents: “You can choose whatever dice you want. Except for the red one, that’s my lucky dice!” As well-behaved children, they then selected the blue, unbiased one. And usually lost. However, I remember there was one kid that beat me with four sixes in row. :-D Although we thought, we make it halfway obvious that this game is truly not fair, it took them extremely long to figure out that we had messed with my lucky dice. When they finally did, they got super angry. Some of them were on the brink of beating me up. That was really nice to see their sense of justice kick it. :-)

This evening, Saturn will show up right next to a crescent moon:

Let’s see if I can catch that in a photo.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I never used DOS or OS/2, but I fully agree with you. A Unix shell with its tool landscape is hard to beat (photo/video viewing/editing aside).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh nice, I’d love to see some progress photos. :-)

Sunset:

No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/
