[00:10:02] <halibut> Thanks for pointing that out. I did notice that recent list in SDF, but got distracted checking out other links.
[00:11:27] <halibut> I wonder why anybody would put effort into putting AI slop into Gopher. I do not understand why with social media, either, but at least there they get feedback via comments, likes, subscribes, or whatever they are called. In gopher, there is likely nothing (I suppose there could be a page count, but given the low activity in gopher, that would likely not be rewarding enough).
[00:12:05] <halibut> I fully concede this is likely one of those cases where I underestimate how much some people want to produce ``content'' and stick it anywhere.

[01:33:10] <Bytram> yes, I know that I am late... I wish all of you a very: Happy New Year! May it be of your projects end ahead if schedule and under budget! :^)
[02:56:05] <halibut> Happy New Year to you, too. I do not think it counts as late. I think people continue to say that for the first week or so.
[02:56:40] <halibut> ... or maybe you are 364 days early? I can never tell.
[05:35:30] <AlwaysNever> Oh, time, time, how harsh art thou! What will we do with our vintage kit post-2038 when their time goes back to 1901? It will make tinkering with them less nice of an experience.
[10:35:46] <Ingar> greetings soylentils
[10:35:50] <Ingar> we're all snowy here
[10:36:46] <Ingar> Bytram is just moving very very fast, so according to relativity his NEw Year just arrived
[10:36:59] <janrinok> Hi Ingar. I am feeling very old today - it is my birthday. They seem to be coming round ever so quickly nowadays. No snow here but certainly cold.
[10:37:19] <Ingar> janrinok: Happy Birthday janrinok !
[10:37:39] <janrinok> Merci - but please type louder due to my advancing years
[10:39:27] <Ingar> I'll share you last night's image http://ingar.intranifty.net
[10:39:49] <Ingar> it's very big for people with bad eyes ;-)
[10:40:31] <janrinok> It looks like the new 'scope is OK then?
[10:40:43] <Ingar> it's a damn fine instrument
[10:42:13] <Ingar> there you go ;-) http://ingar.intranifty.net
[10:42:39] <Ingar> tmp setup until I got some extra spare parts
[10:43:03] <janrinok> Did you have to take a picture of your 'scope using the moon, or am I misunderstanding this astronomy lark? :)
[10:44:30] <janrinok> or perhaps you used another scope...
[10:46:19] <janrinok> I am going out this evening to a local restaurant to enjoy a meal to celebrate. It will probably also include at least a half bottle of wine...
[10:48:00] <Ingar> janrinok: I like astrophotography, but I also like normal photography :-p
[10:48:45] <Ingar> using a camera on a tripod to take pictures of a 'scope on a tripod
[10:53:03] <fab23> janrinok: Happy birthday to you! 🎂 🎉🥳
[10:55:16] <Ingar> 🍾
[11:42:31] <chromas> Ingar: how about a shot of the scope from the moon's perspective? :D
[11:42:59] <chromas> oh now I read janrinok's comment
[11:43:03] * chromas retracts
[11:44:12] <Ingar> chromas: I'll ask Elon of he can arrange that
[11:45:34] <chromas> Maybe if you time it right, you can stack each frame where a Starlink sat goes by and you can see the reflection of the scope in it
[12:55:12] <AlwaysNever> happy birthday, janrinok!
[12:58:44] <janrinok> AlwaysNever, thanks!
[13:06:02] <AlwaysNever> half a wine bottle is the sweet spot. red wine will it be?
[13:09:29] <AlwaysNever> Ingar: great photo of the moon, the shadows in the south craters are amazing in their detail
[13:15:39] <AlwaysNever> it is mind boggling to think that Moon will be there just like it is now, long after we are gone and forgotten
[13:45:15] <janrinok> Probably a white, as it is predominantly a fish restaurant.

[21:56:19] <Fnord666_> Ingar: Beautiful picture! Well done.
