Night time view of a river in a city. An arched cast iron bridge crosses the river with lights illuminating it. There are stars in the sky and the river is reflecting the colors of the city in the water.

A breathtaking look at a dying star. This new image of the Helix Nebula is just in from JWST.

We've never seen this level of detail, as the star's remains stream back out to interstellar space. Our Sun will look something like this 7 billion years from now.

This image of the Helix Nebula from the ground-based Visible and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (left) shows the full view of the planetary nebula, with boxes highlighting Webb’s field of view (right). The new image of a portion of the Helix Nebula from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope highlights comet-like knots, fierce stellar winds, and layers of gas shed off by a dying star interacting with its surrounding environment.

A Sleepless Night by Chih Illustration

#Art #Painting

a moody, painterly scene viewed through a window at night. The colors are mostly deep blues and muted purples, giving everything a cold, dreamlike atmosphere. Outside the window, a human figure appears suspended in midair, slightly blurred, as if floating or falling. Their arms are angled outward, and their form is indistinct, more suggested than sharply defined.

Inside the room, just below the window, there’s a simple bed with a thin mattress and metal frame, empty and neatly placed against the wall. Beyond the window, faint shapes of buildings with scattered yellow lights suggest a city at night, far below. The brushstrokes are rough and expressive, adding to a sense of unease or quiet surrealism—like a moment caught between reality and a dream. — a moody, painterly scene viewed through a window at night.

I'm usually not the person for street photography but I guess these turned out reasonably well.

Street photo looking down the sidewalk of an inner city street. Parked on the side of the street, a brown UPS truck and three bright yellow DHL trucks form a neat line.

When the worst people in this country refer to
Renee Good as “a poet,” they say it with a sneer.
How weird. How cringe.
They hate art—and artists—because we represent
a stronghold, one piece of society they can't just
buy, or crush, or be in charge of. No matter how
bad things get, there will be murals painted
without permission, dancing beyond their
surveillance, and poems that tell the truth.
It's the same reason they hate Minneapolis, come
to think of it.
And it's why we will win.

Brrr... new introduction time cause my old one is already outdated lol.

I am Sinclair-Speccy, your local resident computer nerd that can’t actually do a lot of tech stuff like people think. My primary interests are #Linux, #OldTech, and #OStan. You’ll usually find me boosting retro tech content and occasionally posting it myself, mostly retro tech ads.

My interest in emulation all started when I managed to run Yggdrasil Linux from the '90s (I know, so interesting /s). Despite having used 😜 as my first OS other older OSes (mostly Linux ones) interest me more if you look at the media I've posted on my account besides the tech ads.

I’ve moved around a bit online as I started on .art as my friend was there, then bitbang.social and now oldbytes.space.

One of my favourite niche fandoms is OS-tans which is turning operating systems and hardware into anime characters, though I tend to call them tech gijinkas. I even have my own tech gijinkas universe that is hosted on my site.

As for some other stuff I enjoy #mythology, #transformers, #cats, #touhou, #fantasy, #nature such as #flowers and #plants and #animals, #steampunk, #starwars, #photography, #art, #space, #cyberpunk and #scifi... there is more but I'm not writing them all.

You can check out my website here: https://sinclair-speccy.github.io/The-Mainframe/index.html and I hope to expand it into a tech journalism platform or something, though motivation and its static nature kind of stop me...

Unlike in the past I'm not active as I used to be, sadly.

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.

These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.

As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."

If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.
