@wfm Amen!

@val Yes about 5 weeks ago on our family holiday, we all went for a walk together down this coastal path after dinner. The sea was so peaceful at that time and Gotland is famous for these rock formations (there are much more impressive ones than this). Enjoy b&w photos a lot so played around with the silvertone filer and the contrast. I like the different textures of the sky, sea and rocks.

@hoppysensei yeah now I see it! 🫢

@frank wow 👏

@amerpie this looks interesting. I was playing around with eagle but it didn't quite stick. Will check this out.

@odd 😎 cool! Hope to have helped!

@odd All fair questions. So our panels are German but I take the point of the carbon footprint of solar panels in general. Roughly it takes about three years for carbon payback of a panel. 10 years for gross installation cost payback (in our case) and 30-40 years lifetime so maybe 35 years of energy production fully free of any carbon cost. Norway looks like you get roughly 1000kwh/m2. Thats half Spain but still not too bad. Finland is I think 800-950kwh/m2 and that gives us a payback time of ten years. So in other words tell your friend if he has the money up front and he has a roof with decent solar profile there is nothing to stop him. Phew!

@odd yup! we added to our house a couple of years ago some solar panels and we get approx 5 months without electricity bills a year. I think solar is going to be a super fast and relatively cheap way of adding renewables worldwide.

@vladcampos I couldn’t agree more! Did a euro rail trip round Europe as a student in the early nineties. Trains are my favourite way to travel.

@blog.zioibi.com just finished my first listen through to Four Tets Three…really loved it!

@odd I posted in more detail about the Weegee here. The main pylons are hollow and they were used at first as ventilation ducts. That meant in theory that each bay with a tree pylon on the center was not only its own structural unit but also own ventilated unit also. Nowadays with the use change I am not sure what that space is used for.

@tkoola yup WeeGee is great and I am a big fan of Dipoli too. An old colleague lives in Pihlajamäki and she loved it and was very proud of it. Brutalism does seem be a love/hate sort of taste.

@jabel I read both last year and had roughly the same thoughts after A Psalm. Next book didn't really change that feeling of slight disappointment, still I don't regret the read.

@JothamLim welcome! Yeah Obsidian is open all the time while at the computer and IA is a beautiful editor for just writing.

@gregmoore @maique @pimoore Yes Micro.blog provides a community that is really it's magic ingredient. I don't participate so much but its always there when I go looking.

Blot is great with dropbox only in my experience. Maiques list was nice to see as it shows there maybe is after all a healthy community of traditional bloggers out there with a growing list of tools they can choose from.

@maique great list…also I use blot which is 5 dollars a month too, and I run it using obsidian which is good for me.

@jthingelstad 2 pieces of advice that I have learn't the hard way. Don't go down the rabbit hole of building a system for everything in Obsidian just because you can ( you can see that on YouTube without looking too hard). Don't take notes for the sake of taking notes (I still break this all the time!) 😅 I love Obsidian and couldn't imagine life without it.

@Miraz thanks for the link to the recipe. I think I will try it out this week!

@odd Torni means tower in Finnish so probably comes from Swedish at a guess. Not an original Finnish word. The building is a beautiful old hotel in the centre here with a lovely bar at the top of the tower. Unluckily no time to go for a drink there this time!
