@bender@twtxt.net @ionores@twtxt.net Yep, it’s extremely seldom that a photo turns out looking better than reality. Very rarely does that happen. But basically never with sunsets. ;-) Maybe once a leap year I’m very surprised to wonder how that subject wasn’t better in person but actually on film.

Heute ging es einmal wieder ins Kino. Zu “Mickey 17”. Ein SciFi Comedy Drama über einen armen Retorten-Teufel, mit einem kritischen Blick auf die Gegenwart. Der Film hat mir viel Spaß gemacht.

Blender-Rendered Movie ‘Flow’ Wins Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Beating Pixar
It’s a feature-length film “rendered on a free and open-source software platform called Blender,” reports Reuters. And it just won the Oscar for best animated feature film, beating movies from major studios like Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks.

In January Blender.org called Flow “the manifestation of Blender’s mission, … ⌘ Read more

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

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ein schönes Tier. Seit dem ich den Film “Der Junge und der Reiher” gesehen habe, muss ich immer an die Geschichte denken, wenn ich einen Reiher sehe.

Nosferatu - Der Untote ist eine 75% Umsetzung der Murnau-Vorlage von 1922. Die Stimmung des Originals wird sehr schön transportiert. Mir hat der Film viel Spaß gebracht.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)

As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.

Couldn’t find anybody to join me this arvo, so I went alone. Only in the forest I began to see real snow. And then of course with each meter of elevation gain. I reckon there were 5-6 cm at the summit, so there is still room for improvement. The weather was absolutely stunning, a sunny blue sky alternating with clouds, most of my hike hardly any wind and 1°C. Climbing the mountain was a different story, the wind hit me hard.

I just love the wind-brushed formations of ice on the twigs and branches. They look soooo incredibly cool. It was kinda hard to capture them on film with the wind pushing everything around.

On the way down I took the narrow and currently fairly slippery path that was closed for some weeks due to felling activity. It looks so different with heaps of trees on the ground now. They’ve also sawn down the tree with the small hole near the ground (which I think I’ve shown a few times in the past). The beech in 52 to 54 was probably hit by lightning a few months ago. At least it’s completely charred.

I’ve been making a little toy operating system for the 8086 in the last few days. Now that was a lot of fun!

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself. I think going for real-mode 8086 + BIOS is a good idea as a first step. I am well aware that this isn’t going anywhere – but now I’ve gained some experience and learned a ton of stuff, so maybe 32 bit or even 64 bit mode might be doable in the future? We’ll see.

It provides a syscall interface, can launch processes, read/write files (in a very simple filesystem).

Here’s a video where I run it natively on my old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (and Warp 3 later in the video, because why not):

(Sorry for the skewed video. It’s a glossy display and super hard to film this.)

It starts with the laptop’s boot menu and then boots into the kernel and launches a shell as PID 1. From there, I can launch other processes (anything I enter is a new process, except for the exit at the end) and they return the shell afterwards.

And a screenshot running in QEMU:

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net Pusher can detect own product. Film at 11.

Vu le Comte de Monte Cristo hier soir, avec le brillant Pierre Ninet. Je n’ai pas vu les 3h passer, ce film est une oeuvre d’art. Il y a un peu de tous les genres, les acteurs sont excellents et je parie que certains jeunes seront revus bientôt. Bravo! N’hésitez pas à aller le voir si ce n’est pas déjà fait

Il se pourrait bien que j’aie acheté la #musique de #Dune Part Two. C’est la meilleure moitié du film :) https://fr.7digital.com/artist/hans-zimmer/release/dune-part-two-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-38031790?f=20%2C19%2C12%2C16%2C17%2C9%2C2

Found some additional context. This was filmed as a ‘skit’.. Though still not very safe as there is a slight lag from what is displayed on the visor I have heard.
