I think I will go feed the crows today. But that will involve getting out of bed. On the plus side, there is Tea downstairs.

Discovery of the evening, hotmail which used to bounce or reject email from me server are accepting it again, and gmail which used to accept mail now doesn't. #selfhosting

There's either a murder happening or the local foxes are making more foxes.

🆕 blog! “Extracting Video from Motion Photos on Linux” Modern Android cameras can take "Motion Photos". They capture a few seconds of video from before and after you hit the shutter button. You can then either select the bit of the photo where no-one is blinking, or you can send the whole thing […]

@nina_kali_nina Excellent work on the Apricot computer. Would you be interested in a fairly rare Apricot Chameleon motherboard? I don't have time to get it working, and it needs a good home. Some info here: https://github.com/g7uvw/Apricot-Chameleon

Maybe 2026 will be the year I dig my lathe out from under this pile and start using it.

I let the photos application update on my phone and now I can't select and export a still from a motion image. #enshitification

Woke up from a dream I don't remember the details of, but with the phrase "Sitting on shelves, cooking Wookies" stuck in my head.

Flo. 34 years today. Not forgotten.

All set for a final #platelet donation of the year, got plumbed in and draw started, then the machine errors out. Donation abandoned. Bah. Anyway. #giveblood

Just found december's #chipofthemonth, which is a 80x120 px 40 k(!) fps high-speed camera sensor with digital readout that sells at ~5 € a piece on digikey. Apparently by cutting down the exposure window, this thing can go up to 260 kfps. I wonder what you could […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Got my BLE devboard working! This is related to the issue I had a few days ago with the compiler built for the wrong host architecture. I should probably start cooking dinner now.

#kitchenchemistry 4kg of chopped onions cooking down to make brown onion paste.

Heading off to do some cat sitting and probably cook a vast pot of black dhal with @AmazingMeagen I hope you all have a good next few days.

I've had a few HFY stories playing in the background today on y'tube streams. Usually a bit of background stuff is fine, but I keep being pulled into the story because of silly things. Starfleets jumping to a staging post 2 weeks travel from earth, but in the next line then immediately […]

There's a goldfinch outside my window belting out I assume whatever the goldfinch equivalent of christmas carols are.

Reviewing a paper, the authors don't seem to have done any kind of sanity check on their reported values. I know the instrument they are using, I know it cannot give you sub 100nm voxel sizes. I can see from their images that noise is a significant component, the are plotting a line profile […]

It's definitely #christmas now. #vlc has its hat on.

Can Teddy have an #xmashatting please @eclectech ?

Kid on the train wishing everyone merry mishmash. I want a pint of wherever they were drinking.

... And I am done for the year.

I think I've just done my last bit of paid science for the year. I measured the pH of some gunge. #academiclife

If you live in the South East of England, you get 2 seconds more daylight today than yesterday. 7:49:17 instead of 7:49:15 Enjoy those extra 2 seconds!

Teddy's Christmas gift sorted out. #dailyteddy

Not what I should be doing right now, but the other thing is boring, so instead let's fix a #radio.
