  1. LiveScience: 7 ways to photograph the 2026 total solar eclipse — from smartphone to telescope. “Photographing a solar eclipse is unlike photographing anything else.

  5. RE: beige.party/@adhdeanasl/116986

    I so agreed with @adhdeanasl's thoughts on #AltText that I decided to do an informal #experiment where I checked the alt text on the first fifty currently #Trending posts that had #images or #videos, and noted which were full, complete-ish descriptions and which were crap and/or slop.

    Out of 50 "Trending" posts:
    Descriptive Alt Text - 29 (58%)
    Unhelpful Alt Text - 21 (42%)

    I think those are TERRIBLE numbers! 😖😠 Surely we can do better!

  7. Hackaday: Taking Tri-Camera True-Color Infrared Videos. “Silicon-based CMOS camera sensors are cheap and plentiful, but they’re rarely used to their full potential: they can detect a greater range of wavelengths in the infrared spectrum than they can in the visible spectrum, but in most cameras this is blocked by an IR-cut filter. [Project 326]’s infrared camera system reverses this: it […]

  23. The Guardian: AI-altered images on birdwatching forums putting research at risk. “Scientists are appealing to birders to limit their use of AI when editing images over fears that it could undermine the credibility of popular citizen science platforms such as iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which are routinely used in scientific research to monitor species’ habitat range.”

  29. Mhh finally got @ente self-hosted working. For some reason it had lots of Problems with CORS requests failing, so I made NGINX exchange the Cors header for '*'. Now it works. Must setup SSL for it still, but that is just a matter of using Certbot for the NGINX server configs.
    Also will need to proxy the S3 stuff I think.

    Save the image as a file, and then attach the image file as an attachment in the appointment.

    The image doesn’t show until you click it.

  33. How-To Geek: Why Immich succeeded where every other Google Photos alternative failed. “It seemed like Immich came out of nowhere, but suddenly all my colleagues appear to be using it.
