Like it or not, the distinction is meaningless to people outside of the US

I mean, Kaity and I run a Jellyfin server for our family to access, as well as a couple of friends. But that’s about as public as it gets…

These have been our settings pretty much since we set up pbz

Hi! What’s up?

GRUB because of the snapper support. I’ll probably try Liminie next time I do a rebuild

What are you doing with photoshop? If it’s mostly photo editing, it’s darktable that you’re looking for.

There’s a few artefacts and things in there because I was working with a pre edited webp file, but that’s what I’d do with it.

This is my darktable module history.

I used local contrast initially, but preferred how it looked without out, which is why it was turned off towards the end. The first color balance module was just using the “standard colorfulness” preset. The second color balance module boosted the luminance in the whole image, gave a bit more brightness to the shadows and mid tones, and increased the contrast. The final color balance module, I used a mask to isolate the background, and upped the contrast even more. This introduced artefacts in the background that wouldn’t be there if you did the same thing from a RAW file.

And this is the mask I used in the final color balance module. I manually drew an area over the bird to exclude it, and then adjusted it slightly using the hue slider. I added a bit of feathering on the mask to get rid of harsh borders and to smooth out the impacts the artefacts had on the mask. Because I was only editing contrast, and not colour, the border didn’t need to be exact.

So if it were me, and assuming you’ve got an ORF (RAW) file for the photo, I’d use the color balance RGB module, and then play around with your shadows and power settings.

If you’re really keen, you can use a parametric mask on the hz (luminance) and/or hue channels to select the background, and then boost the contrast of the background separately from the bird. Possibly give the background a little more saturation too.

Why Shadowrun 1st edition? It’s not the game at its best. Burst fire and full auto require rolling dice for every single bullet! (And I say this as someone that was introduced to RPGs through Shadowrun 1st edition, and even has a Shadowrun tattoo)

We have the technology to manufacture materials that could make up a Dyson Swarm. We are not even close to having the technology to make materials that would be sufficient to make a Dyson Sphere.

What we don’t have is the resources, logistics, energy supply and manufacturing base to implement either…

The quickest and easiest solution would be to update your snapper config and reduce the number of snapshots you keep.

Induced radioactivity is mostly the result of contamination from radioactive materials. Whilst it’s possible to induce radioactivity from gamma rays directly, you’re talking “background noise” levels of radiation. Which is to say, the cable isn’t going to become notably radioactive, and even then, the part that does, will be the part that isn’t protected by the atmosphere. And for people to navigate those areas of space safely, we already need shielding to protect us from the suns electromagnetic radiation, so a small increase in radiation from the cable isn’t going to make much of a difference to anything.

Unsurprisingly, vulnerable folk being regularly and deliberately attacked by people “speaking freely”, tend not to see “speaking freely” as a gift, and are more inclined to see a space where they’re not attacked just for existing as a gift.

I’m not saying that I agree with right wing transphobia, and I condemn transphobia, but sometimes, do you ever think that actually, maybe transphobia is a good thing?

That’s how your post reads

My IQ goes all the way up to 11!

I’ve been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I’ve hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I’ve had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.

It’s absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it’s unlikely and it hasn’t happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don’t like, every single time I use it.

So for me, it’s worth the risk.

Iceland?

Though prices are high in Iceland. Their wages are also high, which offsets that, but if you’re coming in with foreign currency/income, you’ll feel the prices more…

I like themed instances and would enjoy them more if the All feed were personalized instead of the same for everyone.

That’s what your subscribed feed is for…

But choosing an instance that fits you best isn’t possible

It doesn’t need to be the best fitting instance possible. It just needs to be an instance that lets you use and interact with the fediverse in a way that works with you. That’s why a lot of people use generalist instances. They’re no ones “best fit”, but they are also less likely to be bad fits for folk…
