I know film format are confusing.

135 = 35mm wide roll film.
120 = medium format. 6cm by something frame (4.5x6, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 6x12, 6x17, 6x24). Dimensions here in cm, normalised. Film width is 6.1cm
220 = medium format. Same as above but twice the length. Not all camera supports it.
4x5 = large format sheet film. dimensions in inches.
8x10 = large format sheet film. dimensions in inches.

135, 120, 220 are Kodak film type. There also is 110, 126 (instamatic) and plenty of others.

As terrible as all the pollution from reentries is, I have to say that it's REALLY FREAKING COOL that I now know all the right people to ask to find out what exactly reentered when a journalist sends me a reddit video from a random Canadian city.

I don't know the answer yet, but I know who to ask! (More details soon, hopefully)

And spoiler alert: the odds are extremely high that any reentry anywhere is a Starlink, they're burning up 1 or 2 per day on average.

The fireball (that was actually a reentry, as noted) is now on the AMS fireball website: fireball.amsmeteors.org/member…

Interestingly, they don't have it going all the way to Saskatoon, though I've seen a couple of videos from there. More people should report their observations! (Though I think probably that is super annoying to the people trying to study meteors... yet another part of astronomy SpaceX is destroying)

Post office clerk: I'll put some tape over the back of your envelope.

Marn: Thank you. It's the kind that sticks down with spit, and then if the edges stick and the middle doesn't… why am I telling you this?

Clerk: It's all right! You can tell me anything you like.

Marn: Oh cool! Did you know that "uncopyrightable" has no repeated letters but contains more than half the alphabet?

Clerk: I didn't. I like facts like that.

Marn: Oh right? Well, there's a genus of grass called Aegilops where all the letters are in alphabetical order.

Clerk: I will go home and look these up.

I'm surprised, but that Windows PE Image file that has Espeak and 10586 build? It can run quite happily and even detect my SSD without drivers. Maybe not my 2.5 GBPS network card, but hey, regular Windows even now can't detect that either. I wanted a newer WinPE image but Bryan Smart's PE was Windows 7 that I found, not Windows 10. So blah. WinPE is kind of cool, would be fun to have a day of the year called the PE challenge (OK that name is unfortunate) and what you'd do is, run Windows PE for a day and all your apps from a PE install.

@Aryan ever since the blindness community gave up on talking installers in favor of the Narrator and no flexibility to run their own desktops, I guess we both are there for now. LevTech used to have theirs but it hasn't updated in so long that I doubt it works with win10. On every single mailing list the blind people just say, "use narrator." Bullshit, that's not a full desktop shell. this one lets you also use explorer.exe because the other WinPE SHells are not that accessible. So you gotta use explorer.

The 'small tech' map - it's great to see that so many good alternatives to #bigtech unethical #datarape products exist.

Which will you switch to?

(This map appears on this page of our website: rebeltechalliance.org/stopusin… , and all these products are linked to in the Alternatives sub-menus)

It's good to know that if I ever wanted to make Linux primary, I could just clone my drive over without fuss. Grub uses UUID-based lookups for the filesystem, so the only thing that breaks is having an extra entry for Windows in Grub from earlier, easy to fix. Otherwise, I tried and tested it, so now I also have a back-up of my Windows drive. I love TeraByte's image for Windows for being able to make back-ups of Windows drive with Shadow Copy whilst the system is booted. I've been using that little tool ever since I made a hackintosh image for Snow Leopard and let others download it. Ha. Those were the days. We live in a different world now. The only downside to Image for Windows is the .TBI file format. It's propriotary so you can't use like, DD to flash them. However, you can choose compression level, which can make a 68 GB disk turn into a 32 GB backup file.

Kindersuchmaschinen sollen Schutz bieten – doch die bekannten Angebote wie fragFINN oder Helles Köpfchen leiten Suchanfragen teils direkt an Google weiter oder lassen Drittanbieter (kräftig) mittracken. Damit wird das Surfverhalten von Kindern ausgewertet. Trotzdem gelten sie vielerorts als Empfehlung. Wirklich kindgerechte, trackingfreie Alternativen fehlen aktuell leider. 🙄

The DHS chief has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

Also...wenn du mit dem Gedanken spielst dir einen #Asus Laptop zuzulegen und #Linux draufzuspielen...lass es.

Habe zwei Asus ROG und zwei Acer auf Linux gebracht, die Acer waren problemlos, die Asus haben mich das doppelte an Zeit sowie einige graue Haare gekostet und laufen heute noch nicht ganz sauber (Sound-In).
Grund ist m.E. der absolut fehlende Support von Asus in Bezug auf Linux!

I feel like people see bikes and irrationally associate them with slowness. I get aggressively passed on residential streets at least one week. I'm on an ebike, I'm already going the speed limit! And then half of those people promptly slow down to the speed limit and now the only difference is I have to smell their car exhaust.

The Govt want Canada Post to remove home delivery and switch to (communal) boxes around the corner.

I lived in suburbia eons ago where this was the norm. I can tell that many time mail wasn't delivered in the winter because the boxes were not accessible (snowed in), Given the recent record of the city in clearing the street, I can tell you this would be worse.

When I get packages delivered by Canada Post they always ring the bell. Even if there is no signature required, in which case they leave.

Got a FedEx delivery in the last two weeks? I only know it was delivered because I heard the truck. Not because they rang the bell. And I'm not gonna even mention the Amazon contractors. Half the time they don't bother.

Really I should put sign: "package deliveries, please ring the bell".

Cher Masto, j'ai un problème de traduction en anglais et aimerais vos suggestions si vous en avez!

J'aimerais expliquer que nos relations imaginaires (adjectif) à un objet puisent dans un imaginaire (nom), qui est constitué d'images.

Le -aire comme recueil:
a,b,c,d -> abécédaire
bêbêtes -> bestiaire
question -> questionnaire
images-> imaginaire

Je n'ai pas de vrai dictionnaire sous la main, wordreference ne semble pas connaître ce sens.
Est-ce que, puisque abecedary semble exister, je peux faire le parallèle avec imaginary? On peut en faire un nom?

Ich habe heute Vormittag ein "git pull" auf dem Release-Candidate gemacht.

Danach waren die Menüpunkte unter den Suchfenster weg. Das ist doof 😡

Also in der "Network" Seite die Punkte wie Persönlich, Global usw. Auch ist der Beitragserstellungsbutton weg. Themen "Frio" - und da sich beim Git-pull einiges geändert.

Auch im eigenen Profil-Modus sind die oberen Links weg.

Wenn ich das Themen Mal auf "Vier" umschalten, sind die Menüpunkte da.

Wer hat an dieser Uhr gedreht ? 😂

Feeling that the govt abandoning #Canada Post is just handing the lucrative delivery business to US corporations. There's no doubt that a transformation is necessary, but the Carney vision is to dismantle it, which will allow the commercial services to enshittify, and that will be bad for Canadian individuals and businesses.

A big question is why there are 6 trucks/day delivering 6 individual packages to each address. Surely we can do better.
