A video editing software interface, specifically Kdenlive, which is currently being used to edit an episode of "Neue Geschichten vom Pumuckl". The software is in the process of rendering the video, with about 3 minutes and 47 seconds remaining. The interface is in German, showing panels for project sequences, a timeline with video and audio tracks, and a central rendering dialog with the file path and progress. In the preview window, the character Pumuckl is displayed. He is a small, animated boy with bright, spiky red hair that sticks up in all directions. He is wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt and green pants, and appears to be barefoot. He is captured in a lively, skipping pose with a cheerful expression on his face, full of playful energy.

@katap @digikam PhotoMechanic is still out there with a lifetime plan. But it got really expensive. Looking forward to your thoughts on DigiKam!

@katap @darktable it's on my list too! Played around with it a bit, but no deep dive yet. A (non-linux nativ) commercial alternative would be Affinity right now. They just released their newest version for free & Win and even are discussing a Linux port.

Mountain backyard in Norway.

#norway #night #mountains #river #mediumformat
Imagine standing at the edge of a quiet valley in Norway as the day ends. Before you, a river flows steadily, its water smooth and silken from a slow-moving current, gliding over and around clusters of mossy rocks. You can hear the soft rush of water slipping over hidden ledges, creating a gentle, rhythmic murmur. On your left, a small wooden cabin with a red roof sits nestled among dark pine trees. Warm light glows from its windows, and a path lined with bright orange lanterns leads toward it, casting a cozy, inviting warmth against the cooling air. The scent of damp moss and pine lingers around you. Towering mountains rise on both sides, their steep, rocky faces rugged and ancient, dusted with snow near the peaks. Above, the sky is pale blue, streaked with thin clouds catching the last golden light of sunset. The air feels crisp and still, holding the quiet hush of wilderness.

Bucket list worthy wedding location in Norway.

#Elopement #darkwedding #norway #StaveChurch
Picture a quiet autumn day. Before you stands an old, dark wooden church with a tall, pointed steeple, its intricate timber framing suggesting great age. A low, rough stone wall encircles its grounds, with soft grass underfoot, dotted with dry, crinkled yellow and orange leaves. The air is cool and still, carrying the faint, earthy scent of decay and damp moss. Ahead, a gentle slope rises into a dense forest, alive with colorβ€”thousands of leaves in brilliant gold, amber, and rust, their textures ranging from crisp to leathery. Nestled among the trees, small rustic buildings and a winding path hint at a secluded village. Behind them, a massive mountain looms, its upper ridges bare and shadowed. The sky is overcast, cloaking everything in soft, diffused light, muting sounds and wrapping the scene in calm. It’s a moment of peaceful stillness, where history and nature merge in the hush of fall.

The time between the light and the dark.

#norway #church #Dusk #mediumformat
This image presents a dramatic silhouette of a building, likely a church, against a vibrant sunset or sunrise sky. The building, positioned in the lower half of the frame, is entirely black, showing only its distinct outline. It features three prominent, sharply pointed spires or towers, with the two left spires appearing to have crosses at their tips. To the right, a dark, undulating silhouette of a hill or landscape rises, blending with the building. The sky above is a striking gradient, transitioning from a rich, deep reddish-brown at the top to a brighter, more intense orange-yellow near the horizon. The overall impression is one of peaceful solemnity and striking contrast.

Roaming around in southern Norway last autumn.

#norway #fjord #roadtrip #autumn
This image captures a dramatic Norwegian fjord landscape under a brooding sky. A wide body of dark, deep green water stretches across the frame, its surface gently rippled and reflecting the cloudy sky, creating shimmering light streaks. Steep, forested mountains rise sharply on both sides, cloaked in dense evergreen foliage, with rocky patches and small structures near the water's edge. As the fjord recedes, the peaks grow hazier, meeting in the far background. Thick grey clouds fill the sky, yet a burst of bright light breaks through above the distant end, illuminating the mountains and adding depth. The scene conveys rugged natural beauty, majestic and somber.

Hej folks!
I need your advice. My family loves to record TV shows, but as I just recently learned their TV DRMs all the records which makes switching super hard.

I was playing around with Linux and DVR last time 25 years ago, so I wonder:

What is the current state of the art setup for TV […]

Throwback to that day on the countryside with Rebecca that one autumn.

Things are slowing down in my life at the moment. The stressful months have past and I spend the days moving stuff around, being outside in nature and finally celebrate Christmas season […]

This is a black and white photograph of a young woman standing on a narrow, unpaved road, looking downwards with a pensive or melancholic expression. She has long, straight dark hair that flows down past her waist, and she is wearing a dark, long-sleeved top with a subtle dotted pattern on the sleeves. A delicate wreath of small flowers and leaves adorns her head. The road is lined on both sides by a tunnel of tall, mature trees with dense canopies, creating a somewhat enclosed and intimate atmosphere. To the right of the road, beyond the trees, there appears to be a field of tall grass or crops, slightly blurred to suggest movement or depth of field. The overall impression is one of quiet contemplation or a gentle, ethereal presence in a natural setting. The shallow depth of field keeps the woman sharp while blurring the background, drawing focus to her.

Watched the Stephen Colbert show recently where he shortly mentioned the Signalgate affair where he mentioned "the insecure messenger Signal". And that's what naming can do.

@Mer__edith we need you on the Late Show.
