Taking pictures of the out of sync clocks in Hendaye seems to be popular.
Had a short meet up with
@moof and @quixoticgeek who showed me how to get a anonymous top up card (use the right vending machine, like on the right when entering the station).

Another shot from the same sequence, showing the diamond ring right before totality began.
In case you're wondering, in the original sequence I posted below, the castle was lit by the overall sky during the total phase, whereas here it's backlit by the still partially unobstructed Sun.

Happy 90th birthday to Margaret Hamilton, who led the development of the on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer. Here she is in 1969, standing next to listings of the Apollo guidance software she and her MIT team produced.

Mastodon tip that I saw someone post recently: you can use the search term "in:library" to specifically search among your own posts, likes and bookmarks.
Sometimes there's stuff in #LibreOffice that I just really don't understand why it's not default behaviour.
If I click on the autofilter button (which adds filter to each column), why does it not auto freeze that first row with the headers of the columns? it even asks the question "the range does not contain column headers, do you want the first line to be used as column header?"
If I say yes to that, then freeze that row while you're at it
TIL about German keyboard layouts.
Motivated by wanting to be able to type ẞ, I'm now switching all of my systems to E1.
Also Alt Gr + f puts me into another key layer? Then using Shift after that again?
♂♀⚥ℳ₰
There's also E2, which is designed to be used on an ANSI layout, compensating for the missing key?
Unexpectedly fun to discover :D

Need some advice/opinions/ideas:
This account's purpose is to promote self-hosting, community hosting and managed hosting, in order to encourage independence from giant tech corporations.
But some of the FOSS that these self-hosting platforms run on are now being generated by LLMs. It's making FOSS dependent on corporations and unethically created software, when the purpose of FOSS is to be independent and ethical.
I'm not sure how to proceed as so many FOSS projects are allowing LLM 😞
We put a tracking device in a shipment of rare books acquired by an anonymous buyer. It ended up at an Amazon facility where the company scans books for training data and destroys them in the process: https://www.404media.co/we-tracked-a-shipment-of-rare-books-it-ended-at-an-amazon-ai-training-facility/
