You have to really actively seek out people to follow here, much more than you’re used to — and until you do, this place will feel •dead•. Cool stuff isn’t just going to show up. You won’t get many helpful suggestions. No tech giant marketing dept is spending millions to draw you in. It’s going to be •work•. It’s kind of a drag, tbh.
But: your people are out there!! You just have work to seek them out, one account at a time.

A thing I did when I was new to find good accounts to follow:
Whenever I saw a post I liked, I didn’t just follow that person. I looked at (1) who they were boosting in their timeline and (2) who •they• were following, so that each new good follow might turn into 5 or 10 new follows.
A week or two of that really helped me find my way to the communities I was looking for.

The irony here is of course that the people who most need to see these posts won’t because of the very problem I’m giving advice about solving

@inthehands @tchambers Fediverse is what I call "on life service", with the metaphor "internet vs. bicycle". Not related to environment, but to slower and more effective results. You need information about a person? On Internet they could tell what they want but if you ride your bike and move around the city, ring bells, knock at shops doors, asking about John Doe, folks who know him, will tell you who he really is. Fedi is the same: slower to be followed but follower are real. #fediverse

@inthehands Another one to me is following hashtags. If I see a hashtag on a post about an interest of mine, it is well worth checking it out and perhaps even following.

"Amore è un termine troppo debole". Probabilmente #DianeKeaton non avrebbe voluto essere ricordata solo come "la musa di #WoodyAllen". Ma quando sei la protagonista di in #film così, scritto per te come la citazione iniziale, con uno dei finali più belli della storia, è inevitabile.

A Deep Dive into The Coolness That Was CRT Projectors
CRT monitors: there’s nothing quite like ’em. But did you know that video projectors used to use CRTs? A trio of monochrome CRTs, in fact: one for each color; red, green, and blue. By their powers combined, these monsters were capable of fantastic resolution and image quality. Despite being nowhere near as bright as modern projectors, after being properly set up, [Technology Connections] says it’s still one of the best projected images he has seen outside of a movie theatre.
After a twenty-minute startup to reach thermal equilibrium, one can settle down with a chunky service manual for a ponderous calibration process involving an enormous remote control. The reward is a fantastic (albeit brightness-limited) picture.
Still, these projectors had drawbacks. They were limited in brightness, of course. But they were also complex, labor-intensive beasts to set up and calibrate. On the other hand, at least they were heavy.[Technology Connections] gives us a good look at the Sony VPH-D50HT Mark II CRT Projector in its tri-lobed, liquid-cooled glory. This model is a relic by today’s standards, but natively supports 1080i via component video input and even preserves image quality and resolution by reshaping the image in each CRT to perform things like keystone correction, thus compensating for projection angle right at the source. Being an analog device, there is no hint of screen door effect or any other digital artifact. The picture is just there, limited only by the specks of phosphor on the face of each tube.
Converging and calibrating three separate projectors really was a nontrivial undertaking. There are some similarities to the big screen rear-projection TVs of the 90s and early 2000s (which were then displaced by plasma and flat-panel LCD displays). Unlike enclosed rear-projection TVs, the screen for projectors was not fixed, which meant all that calibration needed to be done on-site. A walkthrough of what that process was like — done with the help of many test patterns and a remote control that is as monstrous as it is confusing — starts at 15:35 in the video below.
Like rear-projection TVs, these projectors were displaced by newer technologies that were lighter, brighter, and easier to use. Still, just like other CRT displays, there was nothing quite like them. And if you find esoteric projector technologies intriguing, we have a feeling you will love the Eidophor.
