Shot on an old Nikon d5100, edited on photoshop. Had to scale the image to 25% of it’s original size as i dont want to waste 50mb on people’s instances.
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.
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
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.
I’m guessing this is the result of layers of slathering a fresh layer of finish on these tables. To be honest, I kind of like the look. Any idea what type of finish this might be?...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
My family had one from decades ago that’s falling apart, so I made a replacement. I went with toothpicks as little dowels to help join the crossbars to their supports, since the flat glue joint didn’t hold for all of them....
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.
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?
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).
I personally use libera.chat because it’s the most active IRC server out there. is there any other active servers? I found this website to search for different IRC servers netsplit.de/networks/
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.
Here because communities need nurturing to thrive. Some have really started to do well, others will get there eventually if people engage (post, comment).
There because there are a lot of established communities, especially niche ones, across tons of platforms that are still worth engaging with.

I absolutely adore this style of painting. Vivid lighting, lots of fine details, epic landscapes. Any time I find something like this at an art museum I can’t help but marvel.
Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....
Red dead redemption 2 didn’t stop at being pretty. If it did I don’t think we would all talk about it so fondly. Totally agree that it’s a great looking game though.
In this bed we have basically a remainder of seeds from the other ones, not gonna be able to rotate the beds like I originally planned, but oh well....
Very nice! What type of wood did you go with? I’m really wondering if I should just go with wood if/when my janky (but cheap!) beds start to fall apart.
It might be worth reposting this to ! photography@lemmy.world
Most mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, and even a decent amount of DSLR cameras, have phase detect autofocus.
What are you looking for specifically? From a pure size perspective, the Nikon 1" cameras (J1 - J5 and V1/V2) are going to be hard to beat. They’re all out of production though. From there the next size up is Micro Four Thirds. Some of those cameras, like the EM5III do pack phase detect autofocus.
That said, I started digital photography with a Nikon D40 that lacked phase detect autofocus. DSLRs focus the same way your classic film camera did, so you shouldn’t be having a problem with AF accuracy. Phase detection is used to enable faster autofocus - it lets the camera know which way it has to focus (closer or further).

I didn’t plant it (intentionally) but it’s definitely more than a weed. I’m letting it grow just to see what it wants to grow up to be.
