Okay so winter and cold weather cycling I know. Anybody have tips on cycling in a skirt and/or dress?

So I have come to learn that there is something called #MonochromeMarch here on Mastodon and I feel I should post at least one monichrome photograph to partake. I am colorblind and feel more comfortable working with black and white anyway.

So here we have the abandoned farmhouse Arnarnes which is situated in Nort-Western Iceland. This place is very remote so when the middle-aged couple who built it moved there from the city, they had to sign a contract with the electrical company to live there for 20 years in order for them to bother supplying them with electricity. But the husband was lost at sea on his last tour on the postal ship, dooming his widow to 20 years in solitude. The sentence was cut short when she fell ill and was rushed to a hospital in Reykjavík where she passed away. The house bears witness to this sudden abandonment as you'll find spices in the kitchen shelves, newspapers on the nightstand and all the furniture still in place.It has been abandoned since 1967. The widow was an avid sea swimmer and even once got mistaken for a seal once and got shot at by a couple of seal hunters. They fortunately missed.

My favourite part about this picture is how the house kind of echoes the shape of the mountain looming over it.

Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring".

Anyway, then a barred owl showed up just outside the window. We could clearly hear it calling "to-wit-to-woo" before we saw it.

Bird photography is definitely better than watching golf.

Finding the program responsible for controlling a mounted FUSE filesystem is a little obscure, but it's possible. The trick is hidden in an fdinfo field.

I put together a script that'll show all the current FUSE mounts and their processes: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/5973894
