Almost unnaturally blue and clear water at this secluded and quiet lake. What a beauty 🐿️🌲

There is something surreal about owning a 206 year old book written by one of my own ancestors....

#Covid-19: isolated and alone, Britain has become the sick man of #Europe | #Politics | The Guardian

In the '70s, the #UK was called the sick man of Europe figuratively because of its decline in economic and social status until in joined the #EU. Now, sadly, it is meant in a literal sense.

Ok, back to VMWare, because VirtualBox is unusably slow and QEMU just too cumbersome for the average user 😒

Guys, I am tired of people posting screenshots, graphs, "news" and "information" without a reference to a source. All that is useless unless it's verifiable with a quick search. The fediverse isn't resistant against false information just because it's the fediverse. Use common sense, ask for a source and debunk fake news.

I took this #photograph of the #Moon at #dusk this evening in the #southern #sky. Although the sky appears black, it still had colour but I shot it in #ManualMode with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/1250 s and F5.6 with an #ISO of 250. This is the first of what I would call a successful attempt at #LunarPhotography by me. The images are identical but with different degrees of #image #cropping, without enlarging the image.

What a great day on Ham radio. spent 4 hours having a round table QSO on the national calling frequency of VHF with about 7 people each coming in and out throughout. Most active I've ever seen VHF simplex around here, really fun.

I also have to get a QSO in on HF just to absolutely make sure the antenna is working well. Hit up a 300 mile contact right at the end on 40 meter right at the end too. So the antenna is definitely working.

Good Ham day for sure.
