Before I lock myself away in the darkroom again, I developed the rest of the 4x5 from the Appalachian festival and yooooooo

The Neonworks. I love when you can see that a space has been used instead of arranged. Minolta SR-T 201 & MC Rokkor HH 35mm f/1.8 Kodak Tri-X & Pyrocat HD 1+1+100 #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Being in the darkroom the last two days made me notice the 50mm lens has fungus in between the lens cells which is… problematic. There’s not enough headroom to blow up *and crop* a 135 frame with the 80mm. Now to figure out how she comes apart

This is legit my favorite thing about pentest consulting: finding that engineer who has been trying to get something fixed forever and getting their boss to listen to me It fixes a thing, and it makes someone’s day

“Exposure times are impractical with an enlarger” yeah well fuck you internet, don’t underestimate my ability to sit in the dark with doom metal on and just think about whatever for extended periods of time. That’s two prints I’m happy with on Lodima in about six hours. Extremely nice paper.

Round 2 of printing with amidol, this time with a more conservative amount

I had braces and they left the permanent retainer in the bottom but the glue on that finally failed a couple years ago. Long story short, teeth shifted kinda bad after that so now I’m sitting in the dentist fiddling with a physical model of my own mouth and that’s surreal

FOUR NICs!

Amidol is a very nice developer but holy shit is it a bit horrifying to use

There's rant on the cryptography subreddit from a nerd crashing out about seeing repos with slop coded cryptographic primitives. Someone agrees, but questions if people are actually rewriting the primitives or just the implementation. More nerds have come out with horrifying anecdotes paaaaaain

It's too early for me to unpack these gut choices. What the fuck, man?

Spent a good 8 hours yesterday helping some friends start tearing down the most roached F150. Towing it a few miles made the frame start to buckle Decent progress so far, goal is to try to make one good wiring harness out of two, take the seats, and swap the motor into his truck after a rebuild

Nearly 50 Years Later, WKRP in Cincinnati Becomes a Real Radio Station | Discussion

It has come to my attention that some attendees did not like that I mentioned “politics” in my keynote by talking about the context of what has been happening where I live. The talk was about the importance of people coming together to support one another for community resilience, and I am not sorry

HE’LL YEAH GENDER IS A CONSTRUCT BUILT OUT OF MUSTANG OWNER TEARS

all month, @akpress.org is donating $2 from every item sold to help Marius Mason re-enter society after almost 20 years in prison for his work trying to defend the earth. This includes both both books they publish and also books they distribute. I'll link some of my own and others that I like:

Looks like me and my buddy are revitalizing our concert fund, where we just hand wave covering each other's tabs when we're out and about by buying concert tickets, as he saw this and immediately picked up tickets Goddamn does this flyer go hard

WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK

Its been a fucking week but I just had a few bottles of tsingtao and freshly steamed red bean paste buns and that shit was soul healing

OK SO film friends i decided to sell a bunch of cameras/lenses i never use in order to fund something. and i thought i would see if there is anyone here who wants to deal before i put them all on ebay. UK based so bear shipping in mind, hit me if you have any interest in the following:

Picked up my buddy yesterday but he woke up 30 mins prior because of overnight maint. He comes sauntering out of his apartment with an exaggerated smile and yells over to me "we're just two happy dudes, nothing could ever go wrong" as I give him a thumbs up and start chanting "don't let it set in"

Dad finally went to the doctor since he hasn't stopped coughing in like a week. Like, legitimately non-stop, but is otherwise health (for him at least) Well, doc thinks its probably emphysema. That uh.. explains the dust from the foundation work essentially gave him an asthma attack. Fuck

Excuse me, Patrick Walker is going to be doing a 40 Watt Sun solo set in June, in Indy? With the headliner being a collab between Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin? I know I've been hyped for a few shows that have been recently announced, but I am absolutely buying a couple tickets to that right now.

Only two hours of sleep, this should be an interesting day

Hard Boiled Shout [Left] Arrow [Right](From their 4K trailer) Arrow actually did it. Told ya to wait. Plus @priscillapage.bsky.social has an essay in this and The Killer.

The real benefit of bringing a view camera out in public is that everyone knows what kind of turbo nerd you are. I now have a lead on a bunch of glass plate holders

Roundys bud

Trying my best to not yell tiocfaidh ar la at the Irish music school booth

Do they even say Snappy Cicada Pizza on the radio anymore

Oh shit, the Appalachian festival is today

The best of the bunch out of the kikipan. The pyro stain is doing its absolute damndest to, essentially, separate signal from noise. I really should get a lens shade for the Pearl River

𝑷𝑰𝑺𝑺 you know what, I can make it work

Woah, developing kikipan like I do most things (Pyrocat HD 1+1+100, dev for 19 mins but agitate only every 3 mins). Dmin is a whopping 0.90 while Dmax is 1.86. For comparison, the Dmin of my most recent roll of Tri-X developed the same way is 0.17 while Kentmere 400 and FP4 are about 0.26

Discord eating shit on a Friday bodes well

now i have to post the whole ad because it's incredible camera is robot!

Give it up for, apparently, day 3 of my brain screaming the chorus to Movies at me nonstop I WANT YOU TO BE FREE

Hot on the heels of #copyfail, it's #dirtyfrag. Another LPE, similar impact. Mitigation in email #infosec www.openwall.com/lists/oss-se...

Oh yeh, base fog do be pretty thick on kikipan In hindsight, I should’ve bracketed some grey card shots to measure the density curve

Sunday is the best song off Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? and I will not elaborate
