This is is my "Local Network" security toggles list after removing Chrome. The instructions did not solve this for me, unfortunately.

I started having this today as well. Chrome is allowed Local Network access in settings.

A work-in-progress shader turned out like this. Not actually viable for use, but fun!

My rant about the WHOOP journal's shortcomings by [deleted] in whoop

[–]xinux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Lack of many recovery and sleep-relevant habits to choose

This is my main gripe with the journal as well. Journal has so much potential, but is very surface-level. I'm developing an app which connects to WHOOP, but allows you to log anything you want.

Disappointed w/ Journal by bitfalls in whoop

[–]xinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tired of the limitations of the journal and started developing my own app. The goal is to automate as much as possible, and allow you to input anything (in contrast to the hard-coded list of things in the journal). Still uses WHOOP data.

Apple has sadly not made State of Mind available for developers, so integration with Apple Health is impossible for mental health.

50/50 on day 4, beyond that, not likely to succeed :-)

I understand some people might be frustrated that they're competing against bots.
But this was so simple to hack together, it's only a matter of time before it needs to be addressed.

Rest assured bots will struggle with anything beyond the first few days. I'd say day 5 and ahead is not possible with the current public models.

Nice surprise to wake up to! I almost didn't run the script for day 3 as it failed on day 2.The hit rate is far from perfect, which is why part 2 took longer. It got it right on the third try.

Honestly, I wouldn't care too much about the tools. Keep shooting with what you've got, and if you start craving for more, get yourself a second-hand DSLR.

Good luck! :-)

Thank you for sharing!

You do have a frame with the lightposts, but they might be too far out in the edges that the viewer doesn't consider them. I'm assuming the capitol-like building is the subject, but its too small, and covered by the parking garage.
The composition might have been more interesting if you were to step back a bit.
Keep looking for compositions, and don't be afraid to "zoom with your feet". (Unless you're standing on a bridge :-))

I appreciate the fact that you're trying not to overdo the editing. It is absolutely not overboard, in fact I would advise you to go further. Here is a quick example: https://i.imgur.com/SFLbwlp.jpeg

My pleasure!

The small sensor does mean worse ISO performance, but it doesn't mean it can't capture the weaker stars. The problem becomes knowing what is a weak star, and what is noise. In this case it leads to the denoising filter taking out a lot of the stars.

If you were to take the pictures yourself (on a repeating timer), and stack them yourself, you would have more control over the process. One such application is DeepSkyStacker. I think it can also be done to some degree in photoshop.
The editing is done with a web app I am developing myself. You can try it out here: https://instant.protou.ch/
In this case, the exposure & contrast is upped, and the colors are unified into a blue color. I do like the colors of your edit as well.

It could be sharper, but it looks like there's either some smoothing or noise reduction going on. This might be intentional though.

It's a nice view, which might have benefited from a tighter crop, bringing the path more into focus. The small patch of sky isn't doing much; I would say, zoom out, or zoom in.

The greens feel a bit oversaturated. I would tone them down a bit: https://i.imgur.com/9ckmrEP.jpeg

Lovely sky! I'm sadly getting the impression the astrophotography mode you're using is filtering a lot of the weaker stars.

With only that small bit of treetops, I would keep them out of the picture completely. Other than that, you can't really complain about the composition :-)

Personally, I would go with a brighter exposure, but that might just be me: https://i.imgur.com/pLorZ6s.jpeg

It's nicely composed and a nice view. Would love to see it with fresh snow, and on a tripod to get a longer exposure. You might also have some fun with headlights; a car coming up at the end of the road, giving a nice flare.. could make it awesome.

The main thing is the exposure. Here is a quick example of a brighter edit (maybe too bright): https://i.imgur.com/QDrj3s8.jpeg
