Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art
It means “tail” in Chinese, which apparently is also pronounced “wei,” so I thought it’d be fitting
Looks so cozy!
The habitation section of the station is mostly buried inside the comet, while the rest of it extends into the tail. This way its inhabitants are shielded by rock and ice while its auxiliary sections (solar panels, radiators, docks, etc.) have easy access to open space (but are also hidden from radio telescopes by the comet tail that forms during solar approaches)
The whole thing especially pisses me off because the original video was meant to criticize misogyny
Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder
Children of Time?
vintage sci-fi vibes. nice shot!
Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it
I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far
Everything else you said is on-point, but I will not let you badmouth airships. Those things are cool as fuck and a lot of their bad rep comes from long-standing misconceptions (especially surrounding the Hindenburg disaster).
Just take a look at this page. It has a ton of useful info that you’ll likely find interesting, especially if you enjoy going down TVTropes rabbit holes.
Damn I literally just passed this street a few minutes ago, pretty jarring to see familiar places like this on the internet
Lovely shot! I really like the colour composition, the colour scheme also kind of reminds me of old film
“I want to get into amateur radio, I sure wish there was a video that intuitively explained the fundamental workings of frequency modulation and RF transmission”
Some guy in his basement in Bangladesh with a circuit board and a notepad:
Ooh a Treasure Planet meme format! That’s a rare one. The original movie was great, I really wish the sequel hadn’t been cancelled
Me with my friend group of two genderfluid friends—one pan one ace—also a cis transmasc, and also a bi girl (I am a “straight” ally)
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.
