I'm Nate, I sometimes blog or work on random projects I might share here.

I'm sorta bridging my account in here from Nostr using my own makeshift bridge, if something looks wonky that's why. https://github.com/0n4t3/nipy-bridge if you're interested.

Made a #blog post about different non standard ways to host a website or content. Touches on:

Very random, but was planning on doing a blog post soon and wound up writing a silly iambic pantameter sonnet about alternatives to your standard http + ICANN domain setup:

Got some fresh air and a few photos yesterday. None of them were edited after taking, though no. 2 & 3 were taken with a lower exposure and daylight white balance as the sun was just starting to set to give them the darker yellow look.

Gave #vibecoding a try. I'm surprised at how easy it is, even if the end result is a little rough around the edges.

Made a static html Discord/irc style #nostr client. Seems to work decent unless you're in vertical mode on mobile.

This post was bridged from Nostr to AT via NIPY Bridge, however, the post exceeded the BlueSky character limit. View the post at: https://njump.me/a9726c6788abc9411b2ce5c86090b3b1bb9fe81e0358c08498414643b2f5e89a

Tried some astrophotography again the other night. Turned out cool.

Full post descripton won't fit on BlueSky:

Both images are here though so my ramblings aren't too important.

Took some (IMO) really cool photos the other day. Wanted to share, although it's to big of a post for Bsky so I'll link to my Nostr post:

My favorite was probably the bald eagle flying over the city.

I replicated the shot to see it was just a lens reflection thingy, but it was quite the double take to see a glowing orb in the sky in a photo I did not see IRL.
