  1. Wrote a blog post: Getting my photos Google-free - how to easily move from Google Photos to @pixelunion and host your photo albums in Europe.

    It's a short guide on how and why it was totally worth it, plus an overview of PixelUnion's features.

  2. Alguien de @alternativeto se acaba de marcar un articulazo sobre recomendaciones de #alternativas a #GooglePhotos.
    Horrible entrar a su página sin un buen bloqueador de rastreadores, eso sí. Navegar el menú de "tu privacidad es importante" se hace eterno.

  3. To me #cloud #tech isn't inherently bad, but is associated with some very bad actors. As such, we all know which vendors we should stay away from.

    Speaking of which, #GooglePhotos. Big bad. Bad blue, red, yellow and green. Big no no for #Europe. But, how about... #Jottacloud? Why not Jottacloud?

    One month, $10'ish, and your data is stored in good ol' #Norway and slightly spritzed with #Voss water... probably.

    I'm also now wondering how I can transfer about 200GB with timestamps and all o_o

  4. Last night was beautiful and clear, with almost no moon, so we set our Dwarf3s up on the roof to catch some photons.

    And up came a wind. Now my 3d printed roof mounts are good, but they do have a tiny bit of flex in them, and this showed. So I am now printing a revision to counter that flex. We'll see how it goes.

    Despite the wind, I was still able to get quite a pretty shot of NGC2237 - The Rosette Nebula, and the various associated clusters.

    The latest beta firmware updates to the Dwarf3 have added some interesting additional features - a machine-learning based noise reduction tool, and sub-frame dithering to improve image quality. The end result in suburbia still needs a little post-processing, but I am rather pleased with this shot - especially as it represents less than 15 minutes of exposure!

    25x30s@gain80, Ha/OIII filter (inbuilt), and post processing the Snapseed and Google Photos.
