Python always impresses me:

Ladies and gentlemen, I here by announced: the fixing is successful!
​
​After careful examination, I assume that the lower part of the grip was hit when it fell, and then the camera fell to the ground. At that time, the DX 16-50 lens was installed, which is short and light, and the mount should not be deformed. The only damaged part should be the frame around the battery compartment.
​
​After the drop, the cover of the battery compartment can not close properly due to the frame deforming. And if you force it to close, not only it will be stuck, but there will also be bulges. ​So I took the pliers and put a paper towel on it to knock the deformed part back. Now the battery compartment cover is very flat when closed. I would say that's a big success!
​
​Although the camera is a precision instrument, after all, the Nikon z502 does not have CMOS vibration reduction. I would be fairly confident to say that there are no moving parts inside the body, so I directly hammered the frame while not disassembling the whole machine. I have a wood chip pad underneath, which should absorb the most hit and shouldn't cause any further problems. I mean, economically speaking, it's Nikon Z502, not a Z8 or Z9. Sending it back to the factory for a full examination is not worth it.

Also, a lesson learned: either mount the camera on to the tripod or hands on your neck. Do not let your hand hold it while not mounting anywhere.

I hereby declare, Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf is the best anime of 2024, and might be the best anime of the recent decade.

After being betrayed by kyoto anime (Sound! Euphonium 3rd season), I was constantly being afraid of the new animes: they look appealing, but the storylines are bad or not performing well. I can't imagine I cannot even trust kyoto anime in recent years, that's how bad the anime circles being recently.

But for the Spice and Wolf, I'm super excited about the 2024 version. I start reading the novels after watching the 2008 version, and now when I'm watching the new version, I can recall the details from the novel, and the novel is represented in anime, a much more vivid and lovely form.

Oh my god I'm so excited by the 2024 version. Now I have to patiently wait for the bt download to finish.

LOL

me trying to get pipeline running:

I HATE MOCKS.

It sounds good when it claims to be compatible with GitHub action syntax, until you find most of the GitHub actions are built solely for GitHub API, not with third party APIs.

My first ZFS pool! Created with 3x8T drives and today has expanded with 3x6TB drives.

All of them are second-hand drives. Brand new is so expensive these days

if you're inspired to get behind the what??

Well, it's not fast (after all it's a UHD770), and my nas can't fit a full size nvidia card. I guess that's what I have for now :)

Instead, what about some cute birds😋

BTW, those nikkor telephoto lenses are not cheap either. I'm planning to buy a Nikkor Z 180-600mm one for this year, stealing RAM and HDD budget from my NAS. Yeah, 3 RAM slots and 6 HDD bays will be empty for this year :(

Can't lie about this. When I can't get my code doing what I want, there is a significant increase of times I went to the toilet on that day.

What a sharp tree I shoot

I certainly need a more expensive lens and also figure out how to use adobe lightroom.

Shot on Nikon Z50 II, with the 50-250 mm lens come from the dual-lens kit.

Yesterday testing my new Nikon Z50II with the 16-50mm lens.

With their new pre-made filters from nikon imaging cloud, I'd say it's pretty good.

As who lives in Beijing in the past 20+ years, I still can't believe the flowers are blooming in the mid/late December in Kunming. I guess that's why it's called the city of spring.

Orion!

Shot in Kunming, Yunnan. With Nikon Z50II 16mm f/3.5, iso 640, 6s per image and stacked 314 images with sequator.

Apparently I'm not the only one thinking about this...
