View of the sun against the backburning sky is wild.

Rubenerd: Backburning sun

Trying out the telephoto lens on my 2007 bridge camera for a sunset shot against the backburning smoke. Wow!

@darth I have only BSD computers that I use as "daily drivers": A laptop and a tower, both running FreeBSD.

In addition I run NetBSD on every computer I own that can run it, from an old 486slc2 and am Am586 via a Nintendo Wii to a couple of dual Pentium Pro machines. All but the 486slc2 are equipped with full GUI and set up so I can do Real Work(TM) from them.

I have my laptop full of BSD stickers, Once - and there are witnesses - I was in an Irish pub here in Oslo, and one of the waitresses who had walked past our table a few times stopped, looked me in the eyes and asked "Are you running BSD on that thing or are you just bragging with those stickers?"

Turns out she used to be a network engineer in Cambridge.

Wait isn't spring Sep to Nov… oooh you forgot about the Southern Hemisphere. 🤦‍♂️

Again wishing people (mostly USAians) would stop tying things to the seasons.

Some things I’ve learned/am learning:
• 99% of things aren’t about you.
• Only you can complete you.
• Let people enjoy things.
• Kindness is imperative.
• Actions > words.
• Stop, look, & listen.
• Love others. You’ll grow.
• Laugh like it’s your job.
• Never stop learning.

Almost every day now, I'm at a train station or bus stop and overhear a retiree watching videos on their phone using the loudspeaker... and it's an AI voice. Grim :/.
