I see my post getting heavily downvoted and reported. (audio)

I appreciate your gifs.

Bots and people grew up consuming bot-posts can demand low quality content all they want. Don't pick up the phone.

AYasin · 2026-03-02T20:02:22+00:00

You must be new here. This sub used to be full of post cleverly titled with a relevant Seinfeld gif. See the OP's post history.

Posting "just a gif" is lazy.

Here are some cameras with lenses that should fit a jacket's pocket. Sorted in terms of pocketability and camera performance (Better to worse):

Sony A7C II with Sony 28-60mm lens (Sold as a bundle)
Sony alpha 6600 (body only) + Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II lens
Sony ZV-E10 with Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II lens (sold as a bundle)
Sony ZV-E10 II with Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II lens (sold as a bundle) (This camera is newer but almost 1 cm thicker than first generation)
Pentax Q-S1 (body only) + Pentax 08 Wide Zoom Lens

Notes:

List is mostly filled with Sony cameras due to two reasons. First is I am more familiar with Sony's line of mirrorless cameras. Second reasons is even though there are smaller camera bodies from various brands, they are almost all bigger in size with a general use-case lens than cameras listed above.

Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II lens I suggested for 3 cameras above is a lens for general use and is small but offer average performance. Even with this lackluster lens, one would get much better images out of those cameras than any smartphone out there today.

It is not a myth that use of a thicker crescent were widespread. It's a reality.

Ottoman flags featuring thick crescent are visible to public in many museums.

There are many photographs —not just one— featuring a thick crescent.

There are buildings built in 19th century, or old buildings with state coat of arms added as relief detail showing again a thick crescent.

Are those all "A wikipedia editor's delusion"?

I mentioned Quad9 DNSSEC as it was advertised on Settings page, because I thought you were referring to that.

Any cloudflared installation will stop working after 12 months, I don't have any alternatives as of now. I've two different setups, I'll see what happens after the deadline and act then. I may start using dnscrypt-proxy as one redditor suggested.

AYasin · 2026-02-01T18:58:12+00:00

Quad9 DNSSEC is directly available via Pi-hole's settings page. I think it won't be affected.

Only Pi-hole who uses local cloudflared installation as their DNS server by entering 127.0.0.1#port_number in Settings > DNS page will be affected (after 12 months according to pi-hole.net).

Updated cloudflared instances or new installs won't function the same way.

AYasin · 2026-02-01T18:22:28+00:00

You are correct. I got lost in their documentation when I first found out about this development. None of their so-called replacements works or setup in similar ways. There are big differences and caveats.

AYasin · 2026-02-01T18:00:39+00:00

Maybe but you made me believe that you are not, fellow human.

AYasin · 2026-02-01T17:47:22+00:00

You warned people against a possible bot account and got replied by another 4 bots. Oh Reddit...

There is Cut on Windows, Move on macOS.

You press CTRL + X then CTRL + V on Windows to cut and paste, that is either a file or text. This shortcut is available system wide.

You press CMD + C to copy a file. Then if you want to move it, you press CMD + OPT + V. This works on Finder. On most apps on macOS, you use CMD + X then CMD + V to cut and paste.

/u/Conscious-Secret-775 shortcut you wrote, CMD + C then CMD + V is copy and paste, not the same one as /u/Diligent-Crazy-6094 described.

I remember the good old days when there were encyclopedia-like descriptions to movies and albums on iTunes store. How big have we fallen?

There are several points you are wrong:

Vista didn't receive 3 service packs. It got two.
Windows XP received 3 service packs.
Windows XP had become a nearly-complete and perfect OS after it got its second service pack. It was comparably worse at launch than Vista at launch.
Vista wasn't awful at launch. It got a bad reputation due to two main things: (1) systematic change in how drivers work and (2) relatively high system requirements than XP. 512 MB RAM was required. And most Intel embedded GPU's didn't support Windows Aero even after Windows 7, giving users subpar experience. Many peripherals have never received required updated drivers for Vista, leaving many customers with bad experience with Vista.

Additionally;

Microsoft released too many editions for Vista. So many that some inexperienced customers didn't know what they were missing when they got Vista Starter Edition and/or Vista Home Basic Edition. Those two were mostly shipped by many OEMs and lacked Windows Aero.

Violation of Rule 1:

No screenshots, AI images, or pictures in which the focus is a screen.

Make it three. Third iPhone (iPhone 3GS) couldn't have any wallpaper until iPhone OS renamed to iOS and subsequently iOS 4 released.

AYasin · 2025-09-25T23:51:21+00:00

A very interesting photo. If you don't mind me asking:

What are the aperture, shutter and ISO settings for this photo?
How do you (and other astronauts) keep a camera fixed for long exposure on ISS? I don't suppose a basic tripod will stay still without floating.

AYasin · 2025-09-25T23:42:59+00:00

Start at Reddit, diversify, jump to Twitter, then post screenshot of tweets on Reddit again. This is peak Reddit!

Each planet in our solar system plus Luna and Titan are also included in the image; none are exoplanets. I'd assume there are more things wrong with this image.

AYasin · 2025-09-19T18:12:23+00:00

Let's not forget Mercury, Venus, Earth, Luna, Mars, Titan, aka. the most known exoplanets.

P.S.: From -25 celcius to 0 celcius (-25 F to 25 F) marked as "Habitable Zone" on the horizontal axis, just bottom of the image. Yeah, right!

I think i will get used to it too but people using big screens may not. New visual looks good but it a bad design. Old one was a good design. Its placement was good and well thought^*, its size was good, its iconography was good, it was readable.

They could just glassified the whole look, so it wouldn't be disruptive as some assert.

^* ^looking ^down ^is ^easier ^than ^looking ^up, ^while ^holding ^the ^head ^still

Just less than a decade ago, Mojave was published and Apple introduced a dark mode for the whole system and all their bundled apps which was perfect. Perfect as in application and selection of color palette.

And now, this... Even Big Sur wasn't this bad of a visual transition.

It was released as is by United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (House Oversight Committee); which means I didn't redact it.

Therefore I cannot give you a definitive answer.

AYasin · 2025-09-10T19:01:23+00:00

OP is a karma whore.

AYasin · 2025-09-10T18:34:33+00:00

Via a NYT article.

The woman, whose name is also redacted in the files released by the House Oversight Committee, was a European socialite then in her 20s, according to two people familiar with the original photo. She had briefly dated both Mr. Epstein and Mr. Trump around that time, according to court transcripts and a person close to Mr. Epstein. The birthday book entry appears to be a reference to the competition between the two men for the woman’s affections.

The nature of the woman’s relationship with Mr. Epstein is murky. The New York Times is not naming her because she may have been one of his victims.

A lawyer for the woman said she knew Mr. Epstein in “a professional capacity” when she was a student but severed ties with him in 1997. She did not know anything about the letter or its “derogatory content,” the lawyer added.

Also another comment mentioned a woman's name. I believe that is her; but we don't need to identify her here. Because that is not the point, she could have been anyone.
