Arthur plays the Hero

I spent yesterday putting this video together, learning to use #GIMP and #Kdenlive after watching this clip of #Arthur with my daughter and playing a ton of #Oblivion which gave me the idea, also with a bit of help from the wiki @uesp

The Squirrel's here were too brave, don't eat a snack with them around or they will swarm you!

I setup my own self-hosted mastodon instance and Im curious if there is a way to setup scheduled posts with it? or if I need some other tool.
I know some mobile and desktop apps, along with some websites let you do that, but it would be much nicer if it was just built in so I could do it from the browser and not have to worry if my phone app or laptop is on during the scheduled time.
Does anyone have experience with schedules posts?

These are some tostadas I made with ground beef

First I smother sour cream on the tostadas

Here they are with ground beef and cotija cheese

Then I top them with some cabbage mix

For the cabbage I basically get a bowl and pour some white vinegar, chop some onion and jalapeño or serrano and squeeze some lemon juice and let it sit a bit to flavor the vinegar.

Then I shred some cabbage and toss in some tomato, salt pepper and oregano and mix it all around and put it on the tostadas.
Then if we have some avocados we toss some on top and pour valentina or tapatio

Made a focus stack of some stick I found while on a walk, I guess my lens was a bit dirty so the dirty spot got repeated a few times since it was hand held

Got inspired by yesterdays darktable workflow to finally export a photo. This is from a 2024 airshow in San Francisco. Im still figuring out Darktable and all the tools it provides

I used my Sony A7R III with a Nikon lens adapter and a Nikon 400/3.5 lens.
