IMALlama, to photography in Had to take my old DSLR out for this downpour

Nice photo and good work on the edit to make the water pop. Cellphone cameras are pretty good, but I still prefer a dedicated camera for most situations.

Most instances will prevent you from uploading “large” files. For lemmy.world, I think the cap is around 2 MB. It’s actually somewhat frustrating because my (most/all?) client apps allows you to upload photos, but the upload will fail 90% of the time. There doesn’t appear to be an API to check for this size limit and/or the client(s) aren’t using it and resizing a temp copy of the photo before upload. I often wonder if this is contributing to a somewhat low post level… I make the vast majority of my posts from my PC for this reason if they’re going to have more than one photo.

IMALlama, to woodworking in What kind of wood is this? Solid wood table was getting thrown out, scavenged for scrap wood.

Another vote for pine. That said, I think that pine gets a bit of a bad rap. Other than its softness, it’s a fine wood to use. I have pallet and firewood laminated desk that has it’s fair share of pine in it and the pine strips are not any worse for wear than anything else.

IMALlama, to pbsod in A literal Windows error

That’s sad. I really dislike screens as windows, especially when you’re able to get close to them and walk relative to them. The lack of change in perspective as you move makes them feel like a very early 90s video game

IMALlama, to pbsod in A literal Windows error

Are those screens mascarading as windows?

IMALlama, to technology in Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10

It’s pretty annoying in 10 too. I had a big scratch folder on my desktop and one day it decided to start syncing with one drive after a restart and one of those setup/welcome like screens.

IMALlama, to woodworking in Any ideas what type of finish was layered over the years on this picnic table?

Thanks! I’m guessing oil based applied over many many years and the low spots are due to a mixture of mechanical damage (it is a park table after all) and flaking?

IMALlama, (edited ) to woodworking in Any ideas what type of finish was layered over the years on this picnic table?

We’re in SE MI, so I wouldn’t call it particularly moist but it’s not super dry either. The weather out here is very similar to what I experienced in New England

Edit: based on surface wear and looking at these things for years now, it’s been a few years since the last time they were refinished and there’s no flaking.

If it helps there are decent drips on the bottom side that remind me of poly drips when I was getting started with poly. The total thickness in the high spots is easily 1/16, if not 1/8.

IMALlama, to solarpunk in A cool guide Homestead on One-Tenth of an Acre

Thanks for the reply. I can see this being a great way to go for a dedicated farm, which this post is proporting to do, but I am not sure I would want a high tunnel in my yard. I am on the wild-yard side of things and have wildflowers planted along one edge of my property, a milkweed garden, etc. I like to be able to see things growing and am not sure how I would feel about the visual block. I guess you could make one with more long-term transparent sides, but that would cost more $$.

As it is, we often have too large of yeilds when our four 4x8 raised beds really get going. Our issue isn’t yeilds, it’s the narrow width of peek yeild along with a combination of what we grow (not shelf stable) and storage systems (the whole pick early, store so it won’t ripen, and ripen on demand system).

At first I thought that you were talking about growing vertically, but you probably meant something like a green house? Beyond extending the growing season, what else do they do to increase yeilds?

IMALlama, to gardening in What's this random plant growing in my garden?

Agree, looks like a sunflower to me. For OP: do you or one of your neighbors have a bird feeder? We have black oil sunflowers coming up in all kinds of random spots because of our feeders.

IMALlama, to woodworking in Crumb-catching oak cutting board

Thanks for the photo! I now realize that the top sits on the pieces that run perpendicular to them and it all comes out as one piece. For some reason I was thinking that they fit onto a lip or something on the box side.

Clearly, I’ve never seen this style cutting board before lol.

IMALlama, (edited ) to woodworking in Crumb-catching oak cutting board

TIL these are a thing. Nice work! Have a picture of the box it sits in without the insert in?

IMALlama, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which IRC servers do you use regularly?

Think of IRC as a spiritual parent to discord. The big advantage for discord comes from media - embedding images easily on the server, reaction, voice chat and screen sharing.

It does make one wonder what would have happened if IRC had implemented some of that functionality back in say the 90s/00s.

IMALlama, to traditional_art in I painted a character from my graphic novel but not happy with it, could I get some opinions please?

Man, that whole entry is epic. Somehow I was blissfully unaware of this duo until just now.
