Affordable and decent bird photography setup? (600mm equiv) in c/photography@lemmy.ml
[–] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One possibility would be getting a used APS-C DSLR from Canon or Nikon, both come with a wide range of their own and third party lenses. Since both are wide spread they're comparatively cheap second-hand. That might vary depending on where you live though.

I'm not sure about the current state of things, but until a couple of years ago DSLRs had still an edge over mirrorless regarding wildlife and sports.

Problems with firefox 116 and/or cloudflare in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

That's the site not working in microsoft edge neither. I just tried the troubleshooting mode in ff, still the same. It does work with ff on mobile though. Luckily i ordered my new kettlebell last week when it still worked, gonna take a while 'til i need a heavier one :)

Actually i don't remember all, since i followed links from other sites. Others i found a workaround. The only one i tried to make work and still can't is suprfit.com.

Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site's not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn't help. Most work with microsoft edge, but i don't know if the others worked with edge before.

Does somenone have info on that or experienced the same problem? I'm not sure is it just a coincidence or does the update cause the problems.

Edit:

I found a workaround for some. First i set the cookie block from "all cookies" to "all cross-site cookies", then i allowed via STRG+i to set cookies for the refreshed page. Then i set the cookie block back again.

I assume cloudflare changed the address for some of their cookies which got blocked by ff.

The only one still not working (so far) is suprfit.com. It's not a big shop, their software might produce their own shenanigans. I'll shoot them a mail later.

Edit2:

suprfit.com works now too. Whatever it was got fixed.

Sunak's family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences (www.thelondoneconomic.com)
 

A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

In May, the Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history of the firm.

The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.

Need to get off the grid fast. Is a gas or diesel generator my best option? in c/energy@slrpnk.net
[–] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

That depends on how many sun hours or/and wind you've got at your place, how much panels you can install and of course how much light you're using. I don't have the knowledge to do the math on that.

Is there a free market to buy (sustainable) electricity from at your place? Or are you forced to buy from the local/regional provider?

Both will blow a lot of dirt and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. What about solar panels or a windmill?

‘What seemed like science fiction is already here’: why it’s important to talk (seriously) about neurorights (english.elpais.com)
 

The risk, explains Yuste, is that the same tools which – in medicine – can help improve people’s lives, can also end up violating the information stored in the brain. “Although the roadmap is beneficial, these technologies are neutral and can be used for better or worse,” he notes. This isn’t only about securing personal data, such as shopping habits, a home address, or which political party one supports – it also involves things as intimate as memories and thoughts. And, in the not so distant future, even the subconscious.
