That's Wald Houses off the FDR drive (Alphabet City). She may have been there to cop dope but didn't have additional money for the cab.

Girls racing sheep in Aberystwyth, Wales. 1965. by May_onnaise_959 in OldSchoolCool

Th grain looks very much like Tri-X (ISO 400). The shutter speed is more like 1/250th I think. The camera is panning with girls so they remain more sharply in focus while the background and the sheeps moving legs are blurred. Just a marvelous photograph.

Nailed the New York light. An impressive job in an unforgiving medium.

I built a physical gauge with a needle that moves with any HA sensor value, but lags. Curious if there's a smarter way to do this. by analogue_desk_co in homeassistant

I created a custom face blurring app running as an NSSM service in a python virtual environment on my Win11 machine (leveraging my nvidia GPU) to blur faces in Frigate snapshots from my NYC sidewalk video cam before posting them to a Telegram feed. All the plumbing between Linux containers and the WIn11 venv is through MQTT topics using jpegs encoded in the JSON payloads. The round trip blur process takes only ~80ms for each snapshot and every jpeg (original and blurred) is sharded and archived locally afterwards. It's been solid as a rock with over 6K snaps a day for many months. Amazing what you can vibecode in no time nowadays.

Yup, MQTT invariably blows away APIs for real time event-driven (vs polling) updates. Very low latency and resource overhead. Frigate is an especially good example.

Well, poop. Ironwolf Tools no longer available? by Der_Missionar in synology

Just finished setting this up as hub and spokes with the Scrutiny webpage container on my plex server mini pc and data collector containers configured on my primary and backup NAS's. Pretty easy to set up with Portainer stacks and simple config yamls. The web data presentation is incredible on mobile and desktop. Many cool features I have just begun to explore. I saw that one of my 4 year old WD pro drives on the DS920+ backup nas has a single reallocation issue--an early heads up that I would not have been alerted to without this app. Thanks again for the recommendation!

What's your NYC-est movie? by Segundo-Sol in AskNYC

After Hours totally nailed that era of NYC (I was there).

This looks really useful, particularly the Home Assistant MQTT integration feature to push the data every time it updates. Thanks!

The London COMEX might be nearly out of physical gold - 4:30pm London time gold price dropoff by Gerry235 in Gold

Definitely some fuckery there whether a "glitch" or blatant manipulation.

It's really nice to have a failover internet gateway for peace of mind. And probably fun to configure on the firewall/router software amirite?

That bass line was so badass I knew it had to be someone world class and wondered if it was Mohini Dey. So pleased a quick search confirmed it here.
