  • I started doing amateur astrophotography last year with a camera, lens and startracker.

    The way it works is you take dozens or hundreds of photos of the same thing, then combine them into one final image, a process called “stacking”.

    To gather faint light, each photo is a long exposure gathering light for 30 - 120 seconds.

    I have therefore taken over 20.000 long exposure shots of the night sky, pointing at different things, using wider and narrower lenses and NOT ONE SINGLE CLICK came without a Starlink streaking across the frame.










  • I dunno if that counts, but I was given a Macbook Air M2 from work that I didn’t need and I’ve been happily running macOs on it for simple daily use.

    Whenever the situation requires Linux I fire up one of 3 distros I have as a VM and they work like a charm. I pass-through one of the USB ports to the VM and it’s basically an M1 with Linux at that point in terms of performance (well not really, but it’s very smooth, no complaints).

    Might wanna go that route instead, just run macOs natively and your favorite distro as a VM.







  • Retaliatory tactics are all too common. Your life is made miserable within the workplace (if you don’t get fired) and then good luck being hired somewhere else in the same field.

    You can be fired after a year without a severance package for no reason.

    Where I work now we’re short staffed on pretty much every department and yet we won’t offer higher wages to attract new hires, cause then you’d need to raise the wages of the tenured people as well.

    Instead, you squeeze the everloving shit out of whoever stays for the same money as the last 5 years while inflation is still soaring.
