• What is your current EDC?

  I am a big time overpacker, at least until I go on a trip and hurt my ankle and then scale back. This loadout in my camera backpack is on the overpacked side https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111091984601991594 since I can't make up my mind if I want a manual focus 50mm that opens to 0.95 or if I want to do sports, birds, and a little bit of macro work with a 100-400mm zoom, or shoot stereograms, or play with a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• How to generate realistic people in Stable Diffusion

I've been experimenting these last few months with interesting generating... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Apple's Silicon Fab Next to Homes

  I cannot tell if you are joking or not.

  >I'm not optimistic about non tech people easily logging into mastodon.192.168.555.2.xproxy.remoteinstance2452456a1.mirror.com. Why are you trolling? Mastodon instances have normal URLs like https://mastodon.social, and you can just log in there like any other site. And there's a ton of "non-tech" people on Mastodon..

• Does the Dutch nationality have any benefits or downsides other European nationalities don’t, inside the Netherlands or abroad?

  Passport index is handy to view the mobility score, as mentioned by others, with the German citizenship you've even more possibilities. But with being Dutch, you'll understand the true meaning of gezelligheid 🥳 Just make sure you're on time, wel zo gezellig 😁. Source: almost 3 years ago
