Happy 10th birthday, daughter! Apple's present to you is: a broken IAP, and a refusal to refund it.

@fred I normally play just the expeditions and nothing else. But it’s been a while since they had an Expedition!

New blog post: iPad Mini (2013)
https://jmtd.net/log/ipad_mini/
In or around 2014 I bought an iPad Mini (2), and following the normal
lifecycle of iOS devices, a major OS update eventually killed it as
a useful, general-purpose device: operating it was just too sluggish.
It remained useful as a streaming media player for a little while
longer until eventually the big streamers (BBC iPlayer, Netflix, etc.)
stopped supporting the version of their app which the iPad could
install: the last offi...

went on another walk with my IR camera from my previous thread. Even managed to catch a few rays of sunlight in between the otherwise grey week.

It continuous to be a lot of fun and I slowly get the hang of focusing correctly! There are some image artifacts and out-of-focus regions at times, but that is okay with this 2011 camera.. :D

The resulting photos also just keep blowing my mind, this is sooo good! Also there are some interesting observations, the concrete in the third photo does not reflect much, if any IR, while the foliage does. This is also something you can feel in the summer, while streets are incredibly hot, trees and grass usually are pretty chill as they do not absorb a lot of IR!

a photo down an array of thin trees with thick branches and low foliage. all leaves are bright pink, surreal pink. the sky is grey with hints of turquoise. it is a surreal photo a photo down a lawn towards an old domed building. infront of the building a huge cypress towers said building. it has a huge green copper dome with a round galley of windows beneath. infront of the building a bunch of trees try to reach the cypress. all trees have pink foliage with different hues and luminosity of pink. the sky is lightly clouded and turquoise a photo down a concrete path, towards an arched plant gate. the path is deep grey, the image is atop cut by a tree branch entering the photo. the lawn to the paths sides as well as all other foliage is bright, surreal pink a photo of some form of entryway or elevator towards an underground structure. it is surrounded by trees and the ground is filled by rubble. all leaves are bright pink, while the rest of the photo almost looks normal coloured

maybe it's finally time I learn vim motions, they seem really elegant

@sxa I've been meaning to trial Immich for ages

@sxa in recent years, in Apple's cloud. There's a ~5 year period where I tried to sync to Google, and they're still there; older, I have ~138G sitting on my NAS. So a tremendous amount of de-duplicating is necessary.

one way that might work is: plan NOT to preserve the stream. Treat photos as ephemeral by default, so that they will disappear. And then treat photos to keep by exception.

Revisited one of my perrenially backburnered personal projects: revamp organising digital photos. Totally overwhelmed, no idea where to start.

@evan just haven’t got around to it, fully planned to

Another day marvelling that anyone ever gets anything done using O360

Morning!

Found a way to speed up `xfs_repair`: `mkfs.ext4`

First skate on new skates. Feel mostly good!
