Caption: An image of the album cover from Guns and Roses for their album "Appetite for Destruction", which has been modified to replace the skulls of the band members with waifus. The image has a caption that says "So about a year ago, I woke up from a dream, drenched in sweat, with just one phrase being on my mind "guns and waifus". Today, i made the music cover a reality." End Caption

So this actually happened, and "guns and waifus" has been sitting dormant in my notes app until today.

I don't really listen to guns and roses, nor do i watch anime, so i hope i didn't offend anyone :3

Here's the picture without the caption:

Gosh I can't see the red arrow. You need to add a circle showing where the red arrow is so I can find the other circle

OP, you have some dry humor

It's kinda scary to think that the carrot said he'll "stop the war in Ukraine", knowing full well that it won't be in Ukraine's favor. But then the scariest part is reading that Russia contemplated using nuclear weapons in 2022

Facts don't cure stupid... Sadly

To be fair I live on the other side of the ocean in a pretty stabile country, though the neighboring country has a guy who started a war with Ukraine soooo

So I've thought about making an inpainting tool for removing useless red circles from memes, but your idea might be better tbh.

Jeez why do I find this relatable

I personally won't pay for the extra security updates, and will switch to Linux, but like you said, it'll be very overwhelming at first. I've used kubuntu on my laptop for a while now, but it's hard to rewrite my own software for Linux because it uses native system APIs.

Jeez that's sad to read. I wish you all good luck on the voyage to a less a hostile country

Hi, my 3d printer psu fan gave up the ghost, and I wanted to replace it. It was pretty noisy, so I thought about upgrading from a 30mm to an 80mm fan. I am designing the top case with mounting holes, and want some input on where to place the new fan. The original placement is the box with the red color. The green and blue box are some options I thought of for the new fan placement. Would placing it over the busier part of the pcb yield lower temps, or is that a bad idea? Does placement even matter for psu fans? The new fan has higher airflow, but lower static pressure than the original one, and the plan is for it to always spin at a low rpm and occasionally speed up when the psu detects a high temperature. The original config runs it completely fanless until the psu reaches 50c and only then does it send voltage to the fan header.

 

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world I stole your meme mohahaha

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3

I got this picture from my mom who was painting. The cat is head first into the container she used to wash those paintbrushes, and standing in the paint

Original Post

This time i set up my old dslr and a tripod for the shooting, and i shot 70 30s frames. It seems like there's a problem with sharpness, but im not sure if its because i lack a star tracker, the lens was slightly out of focus, or because of atmospheric wobble.

Here's some behind the scene images:

The camera is a nikon D5100, a low/midrange camera from almost 14 yeas ago mounted to a cheap tripod. The white box on top of said camera is the battery which i made from 2 old powerbanks because im a cheapass and couldnt be asked to buy a proper one :)

I saw the nothern lights too!
