Hello from the top of Köln
Did you know there's a mini Eifel tower hiding underneath the crossing?

@th i'm assuming the latin text on the slab there roughly translates as "please don't collapse please don't collapse please don't collapse"

Almost the top. 🫣

You might think your software project is going slow, but for comparison the masonry work was finished circa 1300 and the iron work completed around five hundred years later.

@th Too high up for me!
Nice photo though.

@th there was also a bunch of fabolous shade being thrown around it taking so long, i.e. this: https://kalliope.org/da/text/heine2001102266a where heinrich heine, one of the most famous german poets is thinking that it may become a stable for horses at some point

Hello from the top of Köln
Reminds when I went to Cologne by train and thought "Oh I'll walk up that cathedral tower and look at the old town from above" only to realize from above that there is no old town to look at because it was destroyed in World War II.

@th How would you properly say “Please get me down from here?” That looks both breath taking and absolutely frightening.

Hello from the top of Köln
woke up one New Years morning in the late 80's some 50 or so meters under the other side of this.
I've had much worse mornings.

@th there’s a church in Leiden where they ran out of stonework budget and finished it with a wooden tower, to be replaced at earliest convenience.
it’s been hundreds of years and it’s still wood.

@th Project halted/stripped down for Budget Reasons. We all know that.

@th Great Pic of the Kölner Dom... have a lovely time in Cologne – the weather’s just perfect for sightseeing ;-)

@0xabad1dea @th What's another couple hundred years?

@0xabad1dea @th When people say "nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution", they really mean it!

@th Thank you for sharing! The interior of Salisbury Cathedral tower still has the wooden scaffolding they put up 800 years ago. Incredible to see the next stage - I wonder if iron was ever really considered for Salisbury.
(To replace the aircraft warning lights or the anemometer at the top, someone has to climb this structure until it’s too narrow for a human to fit and then go outside. https://youtu.be/kzi_M1dzxYQ?si=_HY0Tk2LaheKM_t2 I’m lying down and my knees have gone!)

Resin Injection CRT Cataract Surgery On Macintosh Monitor
Nothing lasts forever, but you’d think the leaded-glass face of a CRT would not be a place you’re likely to see Father Time causing failures. Alas, the particle accelerators we all lovingly stared at were very often not unitary pieces of glass: in case of implosion, safety glass was glued onto the front of the CRT. That glue will inevitably fail, as happened to the 20″ Mac-branded Triniton [Epictronics] had with a PowerPC 6100 that needed a few other repairs.
His version of cataract surgery was the most interesting. Usually cataracts are an issue for much older CRTs than the 90s-era Macintosh display featured here, but this particular display was literally pulled out of the trash and not stored well before that, so that’s probably what accounts for its accelerated aging. Usually what people do with CRT Cataracts is use heat to remove the safety glass and failing adhesive. [Epictronics] has a safer technique, however: inject fresh adhesive into the gap that’s forming around the edge of the display.
With a syringe and UV cure resin, he slowly and laboriously goes around the edge of the display to fill in the bubbles that can be reached. Luckily, the delamination on this CRT doesn’t extend very far beyond the edges, so a standard syringe tip could reach all the problem areas.
It looks good now, but if it doesn’t hold, [Epictronics] points out he can still remove the glass with the traditional hot-air technique. We hope it holds up; this is a nice technique to try if you have a CRT with the early stages of cataract delamination. For future reference, it took about one milliliter of resin to fill each square millimeter of affected area.
Having repaired the monitor by about fifteen minutes into the video, [Epictronics] spends the remaining seventeen minutes getting the Mac running with its original CD-ROM drive (that needed recapped) and a DOS compatibility card.
We’ve featured [Epictronics] repairs here before, like when he tore down and rebuilt an IBM Model F keyboard.

@not_a_label will they really notice if it's 196 people instead of 197?

None of the above??The sun's shining, the birds are singing and I'm doing as little as possible and as much as I like 😆

@yumenaut il problema dell'audio da quello che vedo online sembra essere stato risolto con le versioni del kernel dalla 6.7 in poi. provo a vedere se c'è qualcos'altro riguardo alla risoluzione video e ai tasti fn
