Winter landscape of a rural farm in Sweden in blue hour. A snow covered barn seen through a window lit by candles.

Ho, ho, ho, motherfuckers!

Greetings Form Sweden!

Is Sarah the new Nicole?

@Gargron danke für das alles hier, Eugen! Es hat mir die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Netz zurückgegeben. ❤️

Christmas is coming and I want to be better prepared for this year's "I didn't change anything & now it doesn't work anymore" season (updates, printer fixes, etc.)

What are your preferred links to pimp and secure your parents (tech) home?

This year I'm especially looking for trusted […]

A dramatic Norwegian mountain valley with a calm turquoise glacial lake reflecting steep, moss-covered slopes on both sides. Exposed dark rock faces and grey stone create a narrow U-shaped valley. A pale blue-white glacier is visible nestled high between the peaks in the background. The foreground shows a pebbly beach with scattered stones. An overcast sky with thick grey and white clouds creates a moody atmosphere over this remote, pristine wilderness landscape.

A little glimpse from my road trip through Southern Norway end of September. My goodness, that already feels like an eternity ago and I want to get back.

@tomjennings 100%. I really wonder how that happens. If you think choosing a Mastodon server is "too complicate" try using Discord. It's a terrible user experience to use and confusing as fuck when you start with it.

Seeing open source and privacy companies having Discord as there support channel feels like a vegan community meeting at a steak house for events.

A bride in an elegant white beaded bodice gown with a flowing wedding dress stands centered in a narrow autumn forest tunnel, shot by European Elopement & Wedding Photographer Sturmsucht. Dense hedges and shrubs line both sides, their foliage in shades of golden yellow, orange, and rust. The ground is carpeted with fallen leaves. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy above, creating a warm, golden glow. The woman faces slightly left, her dark hair visible against the pale dress. The intimate pathway creates a peaceful, contemplative autumn atmosphere.

Golden autumn is slowly fading as we move deeper into November. The majority of my travels are done, with one big task still open to complete next week. But I already embrace the changes I’ve made since summer. When I look out of my window, I don’t see parked […]

@geoff_eg great news! I stumbled upon Winboat a few weeks ago but haven't had the time yet to test it. Have you tested Lightroom? Looking forward to test Affinity, but honestly: since the had there great announcement I fear they will add AI everywhere and switch to a subscription based model.

In 2022, Ireland did something bold. It trusted its artists. 2000 creators received €325 a week, no strings attached. The result was more art, less anxiety, stronger communities, and even economic gains.

Now the program is permanent. Ireland becomes the first country to prove that supporting […]

@hikingdude no problem!

@hikingdude I know, but democracy needs you in a good, healthy state. And if it's not your fight, there is no reason to inhale all these little poisonous bad news doses every day.

@hikingdude I did that. Can recommend.

This image shows a nighttime scene in Greenland. The sky is dark and filled with stars, and a bright, glowing green band of light stretches across the sky — this is the Northern Lights, also called the Aurora Borealis. Below the sky, there is a rugged, rocky landscape with uneven terrain. Near the bottom right of the image, there is a small tent that glows warmly with an orange-red light from inside, suggesting someone is camping there. The contrast between the cold, rocky ground and the vibrant lights in the sky and tent creates a peaceful and magical atmosphere. Taken by European Elopement and Wedding Photographer Sturmsucht.

Flashback to a night above the clouds from a wild camping trip in southern Greenland.

Kudos to @peertube and @ozoned for providing audio only downloads. Now I can listen to the episodes and save some bandwidth while away from home ❤️

This image shows an autumn sunset in Sweden, captured in a natural landscape. The sun is low on the horizon, casting a warm, golden light across a wide open field covered with short grass and low vegetation. The sunlight creates long shadows and bathes the scene in rich amber and orange tones, typical of autumn evenings. To the right side of the image, there is a large tree with dense foliage, its leaves darkened by the fading light. The tree’s branches spread out, some touching the ground, adding texture and depth to the scene. In the distance, silhouettes of more trees and bushes form a soft, uneven line against the sky. The sky above is partly cloudy with wisps of white clouds gently illuminated by the setting sun, blending soft blues with warm yellows and oranges. The overall atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and slightly cool, evoking the quiet beauty of a Swedish autumn evening as daylight fades into dusk. Taken by European Elopement and Wedding Photographer Sturmsucht.

Busy life here on my side of the planet right now. Moving houses, rethinking business. My head is going in circles. I'll be so relieved when this month comes to an end and I finally have time to breath through again. Still busy weeks ahead, but the big peaks […]

Mastodon meetup in Norway! 👋

This image from European Wedding and Elopement photographer Sturmsucht shows a woman walking alone in a dense forest. She has long red hair and is wearing a long black dress over a white shirt. The forest floor is covered with a thick layer of white moss or lichen, creating a soft, textured carpet beneath the tall, straight pine trees. Sunlight filters through the tree branches, casting dappled light and shadows across the scene. The atmosphere feels peaceful and quiet, with the woman moving gently through the natural surroundings.

Into the woods.

So, after years of doubts, I finally quit the local wedding photographers group last week. Wasn't mine anymore. It had become an unmoderated pool of spineless and attention seeking photographers with sprinkled ads to a pyramid scheme. This week, they decided to move from Matrix to privacy-evil […]

The photo shows the front window of an independent-looking bookstore at night. A large black banner hangs across the inside of the window. In bold white capital letters it reads, line by line: “FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.” Directly behind the glass is a low display plinth and a wooden trestle table, both covered with neatly arranged books. The books vary in size and color; many covers are minimalist, dominated by whites, reds, and blacks. Titles visible near the glass include “Sunday Women” and several Greek-language books. The shop’s interior is warmly lit with fluorescent light, revealing red shelving units filled with more books that recede into the back of the store. Metal bookcases, stacks of paper, and a reading lamp contribute to a cozy, slightly cluttered atmosphere. Outside, at the lower left edge of the frame, the arm and shoulder of a passer-by are just visible, suggesting the photographer is standing on the sidewalk. A faint reflection of street trees and balcony railings can be seen in the window glass.

Yep.

Not mine. Found on #tumblr.

I'm on my way back from Norway. This month will be heavy on traveling and on changing my life: cutting ties, building new bridges, planting seeds for the next chapter, and reconnecting with myself.

Greetings from Norway!

People making non-moving videos of static images or screenshots just to please Instagram's algorithm is really annoying. Spaghetti monster, give me strange to leave this platform more sooner than later

@mike I don't know, man. I don't want to see that Hungary is excluded from the EU, but I honestly hope the EU pulls everything they can to protect our democratic values. We should not let authoritarian governments damage our democracy.
