Some of the wildflowers that are around here at the moment.

Pretty busy Saturday so far:

- Trip to the Central Market as I needed to buy some fruit.

- Fixed up the exhaust fan in the toilet that had stopped spinning. Disassembled it, gave it a good clean and lubricated. Still a bit noisy but working again.

- Replaced washer it the bathroom sink cold tap. Noticed that the hot tap is starting to drip as well but have run out of spare washers so will need to make a trip to Bunnings later so I can fix that one.

This was taken with a Canon R6 mirrorless camera and a Sigma 150-600mm lens.

Yeah I thought I would take a photo tonight while it was clear as the forecast here is for some rain later tomorrow night.

Moon tonight

I’ve been looking for one too but haven’t found another one. I thought about deploying one for my own use but I think it would get too costly for me to run as a free relay.

It’s automated spam that detects when a note is posted to a relay and it posts a reply. I’m pretty sure it generates a new npub for each reply so you can’t easily just block it.

I personally don’t “like” a lot of completely AI generated images although I do think they can be useful sometimes. Really though every digital photo is created by algorithms in a computer in some way. You don’t see the raw sensor data from a camera, there are algorithms that are adjusting the image. If you don’t override these yourself then you are still seeing a manipulated image in the way the manufacturer has decided it should look. And if you capture the raw file then you need to manipulate it yourself on a computer which gives you more control and in that case more manipulation could be “better” “art” (depending on your point of view!).

I was originally trying something similar using grafana with postgresql but I think using telegraf to bring data into influxdb is probably a better way to do it. I’ve mainly used telegraf for network monitoring though, to collect snmp and streaming telemetry from routers into influxdb.

I did experiment a little bit with using Grafana to monitor a relay I was running quite a while ago. I got it to display some basic statistics but didn’t spend a lot of time on it.

Sounds like a good day! I noticed a lot of wild flowers around at Onkaparinga River National Park when I went walking there on Friday. Hoping to get back there sometime this week to take some photos.

I usually get them at the Adelaide farmer’s market but I think they are also at the Willunga market on Saturdays and I know some of the Drake’s stores also sell them.

Nice! I haven’t seen that brand around but often buy the Feather&Peck pastured eggs from the farmer’s market.

Sunday morning walk

This is sad to see as I studied there and back then it was a pretty vibrant campus. I think the Uni system in Australia has been in decline for a while though and basically is just focused on churning out mediocre degrees for international students.. I think now for a lot of careers people are better off looking at other paths than taking on the huge HECS debt to study at Uni here.

Which hole is the correct hole though..? 🤔😂

🤣🤣🤣

Is there still another blaster type relay? I’m sure there was one but I must have deleted it from my relay list..
