Went into the city to buy swimsuits for the kids. * * * In completely unrelated news I finally got started on turning my old 2013 MBP (which has suffered a broken screen) into a homeserver. Very minimal (headless) setup. Installed [Immich](https://immich.app/) as the first service on it. Still need to figure out how to best import all the iCloud photos. Tomorrow: Setting up remote access. It has been fun so far! :)

Playing school. Almost time for the real deal! * * * Didn't get anywhere with Darktable with this one. I wasn't getting any detail in her hair without using a mask, which I really don't want to bother with at all. My post processing usually takes a couple of seconds – highlights, shadows, whites, blacks – done. Couldn't be bothered today, so Lightroom this was.

Sisters. ❤️ * * * Processed the above image using [darktable](https://www.darktable.org/). I actually worked on the image in Lightroom first and used that as a reference trying to match the adjustments in darktable. There is a shit ton of modules you can lose yourself in. (The [Contrast Equalizer](https://darktable.info/en/getting-started/quick-start/modules/contrast-equalizer/) looks really powerful!) I guess I'll try to get down the basics and see how natural it feels at the end of the week.

Went swimming in the Ruhr river yesterday. My first time! The neighbors showed us a great spot with very slow current. I was a bit surprised my kids actually went into the water with me (they are a bit on the squeamish side when it comes to water and whatever could be living in there), but they really enjoyed it. Saw these clouds from our spot. They signaled some relief from the heat, but the storm was too far east to hit us. We should get some lower temperatures tomorrow though. 🤞 * * * I removed the comment form and reverted to the previous version of plain text links. I liked the idea of the form but I think it is confusing and less people used it compared to the regular links. Also shamelessly copied the copy-URL-for-webmention from [Jasper's site](https://jasper.tandy.is/).

The only way to live in this heat is with your feet in (very) cold water. Admittedly, the pool used to feel much larger when the kids were much smaller, but it still gets the job done. Thank God this ...
