Ok, I just saw this package for the first time,somehow never noticed it in years of installing PHP when deploying new web servers

PHP and Sesame Street, those are two things I would have never put together. One gives joy to children all over the world, the other…😅

If you have trouble sleeping and need a boring Wikipedia rabbit hole, here's one for you: film perforations

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_pe...

For instance still camera film (top) tend to use the KS (Kodak Standard) perforations, while motion picture film (bottom) use the BH (Bell and Howell) perfs

Oh, just to make it clear: it's not a lie or cheating, it's just the role I've been doing for a couple of years now, but it was finally formalized.

At least now I have another pretext to ask for a raise in the next months 😏
Today at work they wrote me on Teams during a partners meeting

"can we change your corporate email signature to [my new job title]?"

"yeah I guess" I said

This is how promotions work in IT consulting 🤣

Apparently I needed to appear more professional to a client I'll have to work on in the future

I went to a motorsport event today, and I wanted to take off these wristbands in a clean way to keep them as mementos.

The first thing that came out on Google is a @deviantollam.bsky.social video I already watched but forgot 😅

I think I'll try to expose it at 500, maybe a few shots at 640 and see how they will turn out.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Looking online I found lots of people shooting it at 640 and getting nice results.

I understand that C-41 pushes it compared to ECN-2 (that's why Cinestill sells 500T as 800), but I'm worried that 800 may be pushing it too much

I'm planning to shoot it during the day but indoors/in low light.

I have a question for fellow film photographers: just got some respooled #Vision3 #500T #AHU (the new one w/o remjet)

Do you have any tips on what #ISO should I expose it at? The seller says 800 if developed in C-41, but recommends 500 for better results.

God I love Reddit.

Someone posted a photo of a 35mm BW roll of film they tried developing at home to ask what caused the problem they had

It seemed a clear case of not enough solution (they used monobath, ugh)

One comment said "not enough picture juice"

I almost spit out the tea I was drinking 🤣
I'm arguing with a Linux webserver.

Apache has decided to timeout when starting and I can't figure out why.

Ugh.

Ok I turned off my Lenovo-branded space heater, let's enjoy one hour of pool time before dinner.

(Having fun working from the seaside while it lasts, autumn is coming 😅)

Happy 34th birthday to the Linux kernel!

On this day, August 25th, we celebrate 34 years since Linus Torvalds announced his new toy project. What started as a small, personal project has grown into the powerful Linux kernel, the heart of countless devices worldwide.
I own 0.0000002% of Intel, but I don't usually feel like bragging about it.

(I bought 10 shares a year ago. After it went down, of course. Don't usually do single stock picking, but I was bored and felt I could gamble 200 bucks)
Yeah, they still are, I bought mine a few months ago on eBay for 30€.

It's a cheap way to scratch that rangefinder itch without breaking the bank, and as you said for what they cost they're not bad cameras
The usual summer Sunday evening.

Smoking my weekly cigarillo on the balcony overlooking the lagoon, sipping a rum and Coke, looking at the clouds, ready to grab my rangefinder film camera if something interesting catches my eye.

Also, maybe a coincidence, but the fictional team in the F1 movie is called APX GP, and my camera in front of me is loaded with a roll of APX 100 (the modern stuff made by Ilford that is AGFA in name only). 🤣
I just watched the #F1 #movie. I hated less than I would have thought, it's enjoyable entertainment

Racing movies tend to have crap storylines (unless they're movies inspired by real events) but excellent visuals

Anyway, my all time favorite movie about F1 remains Frankenheimer's 1966 "Grand Prix"
