break things before they break, design the system to break
and it can't really break so easily

i say this, yet my infra is single point of failure... something breaks here, it's broke good

i do admit, i'm kinda curious what the post-mortem is going to have in it
and like, why aren't these companies doing more things like netflix's 'chaos monkey'

of note for these two images is that jpeggification ate plenty of the higher frequency detail, if you want to pixel peep, just ask for the original exports or raws <3

went and did some astrophotography tonight!
wanted to do some long exposure flash stuff, but it was a bit wimdy and cold, kept blowing around my plush bee...
it's ok though! i'm getting good at star photos :3

i want to go somewhere properly dark, without so much traffic, it'd be cool to get like, actual milky way shots i think

@Paradox doing astrophotography "right" is apparently really complicated
many settings, lots of consideration
and that's before getting into stuff like tracking mounts and exposure stacking

it's a subset of photography that's got a really deep rabbit hole

could even go out to where it's properly dark and such

wonder how much i can pull off without a tracker...

@ww yeah, i suppose there is the likes of pppoe, which, i suppose, could do things without ips
but practically speaking, it still wraps over ip

i don't think there's any carriers in the states that provide 2G service anymore, no

non-ip networking is so cool, but ip is a really fantastic standard for the sorts of messy networks of today...

for that matter, thinking on it, there probably isn't really a modern method of remote communication that doesn't get packetized somewhere along the way
ip. is. everywhere.

the idea that modems were like, really long serial cables (in some contexts) is so weird to think about
no ip, no packets, just bytes
just computers screaming at each other

i kinda yearn for this method of communication, but also understand that it'd be a real pain

and like, it's almost impossible to do these days, with no ip, no packets anywhere in the chain... i'll bet that even with a landline now, it gets turned to voip somewhere in the chain...

@sand i was super fond of putting lava behind glass in my bases
probably still would be, if i still routinely played...

netherrack fireplaces were also super cool, even if the campfire thingies look a bit better...

food mushrooms are so good
don't know how anyone could dislike mushrooms
especially fried in a little bit of oil with salt, mmm
