While Nikon doesn't do a great job on focusing (figure 1), it does a great job on VR (vibration reduction, or Image Stabilisation for Cannon and Optical SteadyShot for Sony).

Picture 2 is shot under a low-light condition, which my camera model is not expensive enough to handle it, so I limit the ISO to 6400. If the picture is still underexposed, then I just give up since that means my camera can't capture this scene.

However, with limited light and the shutter speed well below the safety range (usually the safe shutter speed is 1 divided by focal length, in this case, 600mm should use at most 1/600s, which is 1/640s in my camera), it managed to capture one photo that is in focus, and sharp enough to let DXO Photolab to recognize all the details and enhance them.

Amazing. (of course, DXO is also an amazing software)

As steam said, I play game on Linux. I like suffer. LOL

I sincerely don't understand why people will include emoji in their writing.

This will be a new reason for me to not like python.

Wait, what?

Ministry of the Interior of France, telling me the BreachForums is reopening?

Must be some email trick. Can't verify on my phone but maybe France government doesn't enforce their dkim settings. Or they really get hacked?

Compared my recordings with the soggfy‘ogg. Other than the silence is a bit off (I still didn't figure out a perfect way to decide when the new song starts), the rest of the content is more or less identical (in terms of hearing)

I think we should have a law to enforce every song to have a 100ms silence at the end. Otherwise it's a headache for me to decide how to cut the spotify recordings. LOL

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce, this is my new co-worker.

Trying to find a HD portrait for Father Godwin, but no luck. So I tried Gemini 3 pro. God that works so great.

Remind me years ago when I first tried waifu2x.

P1: the screenshot from the game (~600KB)
P2: the result from gemini 3 pro (7.2MB)

Looks like the highest vote answer on StackOverflow is not always correct.

I set `access_log off;` to disable the nginx logging, according to this post: https://serverfault.com/questions/318574/how-to-disable-nginx-logging

Guess what I got? A 13GB file just called "off".

oh no

Spent the weekend to take care of my friend, who has FluA and fever, and ibuprofen can't bring down the temperature, so we went to the hospital. Now he is feeling much better, but I guess now it's my turn.

Hopefully it's the same FluA, not something else I picked up in the hospital.

Met some new birds during the weekend. This weekend my friend dropped by and we went to a wetland park.

Most of the time, I enjoy the silence of being along since that's how I lived in the past year after I moved to Kunming. But apparently spending time with friends and hanging out is also super enjoyable.

Figure 1: Gallinago gallinago (扇尾沙锥)
Figure 2: Tringa ochropus (白腰草鹬)
Figure 3: Motacilla citreola (黄头鹡鸰)

Well, they are not rare or endanger, after all, it's a wetland park near the city, but still I'm glad to see them : )

This is so good! So wonderful! I'm so moved.

How can there be such a captivating story? I really love the characters. Every time I read a book like this, I can't help but feel two emotions: a deep, irresistible love for it, and a sense of regret that it's all gone now. Books can be reread, like movies; perhaps each time you read them, you'll gain new insights. But only the first time will you experience that initial feeling of being a newcomer, gradually becoming engrossed, and finally, realizing how it all made sense.

This book is so well-written; I want to be buried with it when I die.

This is the 9th volume of Spice and Wolf. The novel is great. The anime is also great. Oh god, I can die with them. They are so good.

Jdk11 is working on kindle pw6 with firmware 5.17.1.0.4. And I just checked with other people in the discord, new firmware pike 5.18.4 also use old glibc. So I guess jdk11 is what I got now.

This device can't even run browser properly, so hopefully I can write something to call api and display me some info. Maybe in that case go is better than Java?

Tried jvm on kindle. Jdk17 isn't working, it requires glibc 2.27, while the kindle os only have 2.18. However, jdk11 works, at least it prints the version.

Haven't tried any jar yet.

First book finished on kindle. God I love this device.

I think this is pretty much my first time getting my hands on an e-ink device.

The e ink screen is decent under normal room light. The texture of the screen is very different from my smartphone or my tablet. And I like it. In case you don't know, I still prefer physical books because I love the weight of the book, the feel of the paper, and the smell of the ink. I read ebooks solely because I have to move several times in the rest of my foreseeable life, and I love books, so I don't want to damage them. If I own a house, I'll quickly fill it with books.

Anyway, this screen reminds me of the feel of physical books, and I liked this e ink screen when I was under room light. But guess what? Under the sunlight, I LOVE it. Amazon makes such good hardware that I didn't regret making this purchase. Even compared with Samsung or Apple's flagship screen/display, for reading, Kindle is the best. Period.

But of course, their software sucks. That's why we need jailbreak to fix it. After playing around with koreader, I think I'll stop reading on my phone even though it was a good experience. Now I have a better device for reading.

I'm in.

In terms of bird photography, it's a fruitful trip. But at the end of the trip, I can't even hold my lens steady because breathing is so hard at 3500m above sea level while also getting a fever and cough.

Wait what?? How??
