So do you have your screen turned off most of the time? I usually get through a day fine with a charge. And i use some internet, photos snd videos, record my track and navigate with osmand. I do bring a powerbank though.

If you bring a second phone, that is also a second device you're carrying around, might as well be a small powerbank.

I read some github issue how instances would store the full size images when creating the thumbnails, which kinda goes again the wish of lemm.ee to not upload images to the instance (and this would somehow be an issue for some third party apps like jerboa, i am not tech savvy enough to really understand).

So i wonder why some thumbnails are apparently created and some are not.

 

I was using imgur now to upload pictures, but for none of my posts it shows a thumbnail for me in jerboa. It does at least for some of those using lemmy.world, so i assume this may be something lemm.ee specific? Thumbnails seem to be shown for images hosted on catbox.moe or other instances. I just don't get what the difference is.

What is it that would make thumbnails show up?

Yeah, when i saw that flamboyant hoopoe i was immediately thinking of you all, haha.

I also really enjoy the birds i know in different setting, like the beach blackbird or hearing the mountain wood pigeon (no 'd') coo.

I should have known, i looked that up before. Somehow i just want to write it with a 'd'. Thank you, i think this will push me now to never do it again :)

 

I am currently on holidays in spain and there were a lot of parakeets around, also tons of collared doves who i'd guess outnumber the feral pidgeons there. Pretty cool

Today while cycling i saw a flamboyant hoopoe, which i recognized because i saw it on here. I was hyped. This is my first time somewhat far away from home since i started watching birds and it's amazing to see what's going on here. The birds are going off!

I don't know if there will be much route overlap, but yeah, at least some general spain cycling stuff i guess. There's a ferry to bilbao from the uk, right? At least to santander i think. Such a great option to get there.

Haha, yeah i guess:

cycling weather

But in the night i had to wear leggings, socks and long sleeve to be comfortable. Wind is quite cold. Sun is a tad bit stronger than what came through the clouds in germany though.

 

First night of camping in southern spain. Was a deserted camp site in the mountains. Cold wind, zero condensation.

Sleep enough and not eat shit food for days in a row. If i get sick i have usually disregarded some of this.

Haha, yeah i love it too. It took a while until other birds than blue tits started using it, i think they were a bit confused by the diagonal sticks. But they came around in the end and it's awesome to see them hopping around on it.

I also have made another feeder, also for small birds although there are some goofy bigger birds who acrobatic enough to get some snacks:

parakeet

Bit more of a readymade though.

Right? Makes me strangely sentimental watching this.

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i really like how calm the street scenes are without cars. There's also a 1902 / now comparison video which is kind of depressing, i thought i'd rather post something nice :)

Oh wow, thank you, i did not know that song.

I think it's a good thing that people can set up their communities however they wish as long as they don't go against server rules.

I think people are more up in arms here (germany) about the necessary space to be taken away from cars than about money. No way around it though, since pretty much all urban space is occupied by cars.

I would really like my city to drastically reduce street parking, i think it is really the way to push cars out of the city. Most of my neighbours would sooo hate it though, since it's 'not enough space' for parking as is, even though the streets are completely littered with cars.

~~Btw, I am replying from my second account, somehow this whole post does not seem to have federated with lemmy.world.~~ (it did federate now)
