Those who have it are cortically blind, but affirm, often quite adamantly and in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, that they are capable of seeing.

Sitina 1 – Open-source 35mm full-frame (36mm x 24mm) CCD mirror-less interchangable lens camera (MILC).
The original goal of this project was to create a digital camera back to convert SLR cameras to DSLR cameras, but has since changed to build a full MILC.
Some long-needed server 💙
Just upgraded from Debian 11 to 12. And while I was at it rescaled the vServer at Hetzner from two cores to four – which is even cheaper: I save about four €uros per month. And it was just a few clicks. Oddly satisfying.
Update: Why certainly, there were some (not so obvious) issues:
- SSH users moved from the
_sshgroup in /etc/groups toAllowUsersin /etc/ssh/sshd_config - spamd was not installed, anymore
- dovecot had a permission issue with an acme.sh certificate
- I had to rebuild the json3k services
Through the mail issues I found several ancient mbox files in /var/mail that contained messages that must have been slipped through the milter, probably at a time the mail server was configured with maildrop (now it’s procmail). Spring Fall cleaning FTW!

Language models are trained by a simple trick.
We give them a line of text and ask them, “What comes next?”
We do this over and over again, and eventually, they learn to complete the line.
By this trick language models have learned to write poetry, prose, and quantum physics. It works because in text, as in life, what’s past is prologue.

Effect of COVID-19 global lockdown on our Moon.
Lunar night-time surface temperatures of six different sites on the Moon's nearside were analysed during the period 2017–2023. Results showed an anomalous dip in the lunar night-time surface temperatures for all the sites during April–May 2020, the strict COVID-19 global lockdown period, when compared to the values of the same period during the previous and subsequent years.
