That’s basically 3rd base for praying mantis’s

For the future, I’ll try the additional dark frames, but the hot pixels are so high SNR that hopefully 1 will do.

I didn’t even know I was getting these hot pixels on the night, last time I went out I didn’t have this issue at all, which is part of my concern, it’s like my camera has gone from 0 obvious hot pixels to thousands overnight.

Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated.

Okay, I’ll take your word for it, but compared to my a5100 at the same settings, it’s an insane amount.

I do have a dark frame from later that evening, so I guess I’ll have to try the subtraction. Do you know of any software that can do the dark frame subtraction in batches? I have a few thousand shots I’d like to clean up :(

It’s a crazy amount of hot pixels though, doesn’t seem normal? Pixel remapping doesn’t get rid of them either.

I currently have “It’s for the smile”, from this vid:

About 1 minute in. Great set of vids.

That’s how you get that job security…

It’s very sad. He had some brilliant ideas, with a bit of mental health support he could have done incredible things. RIP :(

It’s the second coming of Terry Davis!

I don’t know of one, just want to warn you that you’ll likely be collecting personal identifying information (PII), which requires careful storage and protection. You may want to seek some legal advice before going down this road.

It’s a direct bribe to have access to trumps ear. That’s why they are paying for entry.

Err, yeah, that. I dunno why I thought he was Goofys. Thanks :)

I’d rename Pluto after Mickey’s dog

I don’t want to read vibe code, I want to see a humans code.

You know full well that AI vibe coding is a completely different level of assist to “forums for help”.

Can I suggest you have some rules around AI assisted code? Like explicitly marking them at a minimum?

Otherwise, sounds good, hope it takes off.

That would be really cool. And kinda fits the “organic growth by subdividing” model

It’s part of the same family, so I don’t see why not.

I’ve not experienced piefed first hand, but from what I heard it joins Cross posts somehow? Lemmy you can create your own feed by subbing to communities, is piefed different?

I think those are different in that you don’t need discourse. You can post away, and if no one responds its not a big deal. But other communities, especially ones that people might go to for help or advice, getting zero responses to a question is spirit crushing.

I personally dislike the cross posting in lemmy, as it results in seeing the same post 3-4 times in a row, which is kinda annoying as well. I believe piefed does it better (dunno if anyone can confirm that?).

Those niche communities work on reddit because there is a huge userbase to keep them alive. If you create them here, you get an empty community that looks dead, which discourages people from posting.

Having an active “hobbies” community going first, and then later splitting off the “knitting” community when it’s clear that there are lots of knitters means that you don’t get empty dead communities.

You can’t force the niche community into existence, it has to grow organically.
