Me: bomb has been defused

TPM: Nooooo we can't boot without the swollen battery

(I guess it's the cr2032 battery died. So I removed battery and something lost, i guess.)

Wait, what? I thought hetzner is already super cheap. I got 2 vcore 4gb ram for less than 5 usd per month. And contabo makes it cheaper?

Did Germany have some secrets on how to make super cheap servers?

Not sure what to backup. Set up the duplicati to backup the following folders to backblaze. Let's see how much it cost.

A typical black start problem: You need to download a proxy program to access the internet, but you need to be able to access Github first to download the proxy program, and you need to use the proxy program first to access Github.use

installing opensuse. This is a quite different setup. LUKS with LVM, never used lvm before. I think there is some overlap between btrfs and lvm?

And samsung pssd is sooooo fast. Clonezilla can run 19GB/minutes.

I asked the teller (I should use teller instead of officer. I naively though the people works in the office will be officer) if she wants to check the content, she said there is no need to do that. I can just seal it.

So I pull out my stamp and the paste. I saw a flash of shock on her face when I stamped the seal.

Me trying to remember what I did on Friday and what I should do today. Then I instantly recall the work when I saw this git graph.

There are two different remotes with each got a develop and master branch. And I pull changes from upstream to downstream.

Maybe I should ask earlier before I already implemented the solution. But still, this is a valid git usage right? Right?

Now a quick entertainment for you: guess which heads are the upstream repo and which ones are the downstream. Also which ones are develop branches and which ones are master branches.

Excuse me? Why does the same thing cost 4400 EUR in the Chinese official store while the listed price on their official website is only less than 3000 EUR?

Great. Wandering around on the internet, and ended up to this company.

Not the first time visit, but now it will be my ultimate goal for telescopes.

Although I did recently purchase some cheap (compared to top brands) telescopes in this year and have no plan to replace them very soon, but I do spot a few things that correspond to this price range. It's ok for now, I'll classify myself as an amateur hobbyist, so don't gonna go super critical on those downsides. So maybe in two years or so I'll save some money, and if I still love watching birds and night sky, then I'll inevitably buy some good gear.

Bless my wallet.

P1: My preference of post-processing, based on the DNG file
P2: My phone's preference of post-processing, aka the JPG file. It got the JPG file first, then got the DNG file. I assume this JPG file is what you get when you use the stock camera app.
P3: The unprocessed DNG file displayed by the default app to view photos in Windows 10.

In terms of "my preference", I don't mean my style. I don't know photography very well, so I just messing around with the slider and see if I like it. So each photo I produce, it got a different style😂 I'm just starting learning it, don't be too mean on me.

The photo is too big, so I open it and take a screenshot of it so I can uploaded here.

Anyway, if you look close, you can tell this bird is not properly focused. That's a very common problem with my setup.

First of all, the auto focus from Samsung is absolutely shit. Everytime it focuses on a branch either behind or in front of the bird. It always failed to focus on the bird itself. So I use manual focus. But then the screen is very small, with direct sunlight, I can't tell if the bird is crystal clear or not. I placed an order from fuji to see if it looks better on a 4R photo paper. But even if it looks ok, I still want to try if I can get a perfect focus with my phone.

One possible way to solve it is to carry a HDMI screen. Samsung's camera app can output a HDMI preview when connected to an external monitor. But I wonder how I'm gonna take a picture of bird with such chunky devices.

The moon.

And through this telescope you can actually see the slow movement of the moon. Amazing
