A couple of comets made appearances in October. I could capture only Comet Lemon. Its tail kept changing very quickly and can be seen in these two photos taken over 2 days.

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 19 🎄

It's day 19, Advent of Donations is almost over. Today's donation of $50 go to @astro, the web framework for content-driven websites. Since the beginning of the year I've built three websites using Astro, including my blog. I really love the flexibility and all the integrations.

Learn more about Advent of Donations and Astro in my latest blog update: https://britter.dev/blog/2025/12/01/advent-of-donations/#day-19---astro

Penultimate image from my 2024 dark sky observing trip: the California Nebula. And by golly, it really does look like California! 😆

1h 6' integration time, stacked using Siril and lightly processed with Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom.

Zalvena, originally a fork of Aptabase, has been completely rewritten on Deno for it's backend, and Astro for it's frontend.

It's now a dedicated project for MinPluto, built for event tracking meant for the Zorn video player project.

The project is now part of the MinPluto organization.

Been a four months since I worked on Zorn, a video player for Astro. Buttons and menus in v0.7, which isn't even published yet, already need to be rewritten, and thought out again.

Along with that, I need to also focus on making the player rely on JavaScript less during the development of v0.7.

The fallback to native player function is working quite well still, which I'm happy about. (Video Below)

If I want to write a site with vanilla #HTML / #CSS / #JS using #Astro as my #SSG are there any doc sources, projects, general setups, or tips I should know / look to for good reference? Seems like most of the things I see are about incorporating all the various frameworks that I have no interest in. I want to build a fairly simple blog and personal site. With minimal client side js. But I also want the benefits of an SSG especially when it comes to writing blog posts. Do you use or have you used Astro for a similar workflow? How do you like to set everything up?

Da das Wetter heute nicht viel Spannendes hergibt, zeigen wir heute mal ein Astrobild, dass unser Kollege in den klaren Frühlingsnächten in Klingenthal im dunklen oberen Vogtland mit 12 Stunden Belichtungszeit gemacht hat. Das Bild zeigt #M51, die "Whirlpoolgalaxie". Zu sehen sind 2 kollidierende #Galaxien dabei wird die kleinere Galaxie von der größeren Spiralgalaxie "verschlungen". Das ganze geschah in einer Entfernung von etwa 24 Mio. Lichtjahren. #astro

This minimalist static site generator pattern is only for #JavaScript developers who want something small, fast, flexible, and comprehensible https://jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/04-17-zero-dependencies.html

Configuring a complex tool can take more work that just coding the functionality from scratch. Earlier I created a simple blog in #Astro, a popular #SSG. That felt more complicated than the problem justified, so I rewrote the entire #blogging project from scratch in pure JavaScript with 0 dependencies.

This went very well!

I've started working with Astro and all of a sudden I'm dipping my toes in web components.

Lets see where this goes as I'm avoiding React as much as possible.

#Firefox のUser Agent Switcherを使ってたけど開発者用ツールだから面倒だったんだよね。これは助かる。

I'm changing the layout of the docs at https://Dropserver.org, working rom scratch. And it hurts! It's an #astro site so I could use #Starlight, but I want to learn the newer #CSS and HTML techniques and it's not adopting Starlight that's going to help me with that.

One thing @adactio's piece doesn't touch on is the difference between starting from a blank page versus having a component/styles/layout library -- even if pure CSS. The blank page is brutal.

Due to the details of the behavior of Astro's middleware, it looks like the next #Fedify release (v0.12.0) may not be able to ship with the #Astro integration. 😅

The details of the behavior of #Astro's middleware make it difficult for #Fedify to integrate with Astro. 🤦‍♂️

Be sure to look towards the skies as a once-in-a-lifetime explosion is about to create a ‘new’ star any night now! 💫

The star is T Coronae Borealis, and it lies in the constellation of the northern crown, so start stargazing now to get used to seeing Corona Borealis as it currently is so you can witness the full spectacle when it transforms into a ‘new’ star.

Learn how the star will transform and how you can observe it… https://ausgeo.co/newstar

Flexibility is key! #Fedify isn't a full-stack solution—it's designed to work alongside your favorite web frameworks. Whether you're using #Astro, #Hono, #Fresh, or others, Fedify has got you covered with easy integration options. Build your #fediverse app, your way! 🛠️

In #Fedify's next release, v0.12.0, we'll be adding support for integration with Astro, a web framework for content-driven websites.

#Introduction post!

Oh hi! I'm looking to make connections with other people, possibly then eventually meet and do some expeditions together out in the real world at some point. Also, would love to see what others are doing.

Very much into #street, #stilllife, #wildlife, #nature, #landscape, #photography. Have been trying to get into #portrait photography but I'll admit, I am a little shy doing portraits because I am very critical of my own photos. Also been wanting to get into #astro too~

Ok, 4 real quick, straight from the camera raw to your eyes, not processed beyond CaptureOne defaults.

Picked at random from the thumbnails - a few with the cloud showing how bright it was, and a later one after the cloud had moved.

Nature is impressive.

📷 As usual, my go to lens is the widest, fastest one - the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f/2

Since I've moved to a new instance - one I'm running myself - I though I might re-introduce myself.

I'm Jeff Markel (see profile for pronunciation) - he/him. I'm kinda old, kinda not - born on the cusp of Baby Boom I and Baby Boom 2, aka Generation Jones (1955).

I can schmooze, but am basically very shy - f2f, anyway - and very introverted. More than a few hours of f2f interaction are exhausting.

I had one sibling - a sister - who died of pancreatic cancer in 1997, at 45. I lost my dad to bladder cancer in 1991 (age 67), and my mom to breast cancer in 2006 (age 80). So the big-C is ever-looming; my odds aren't so good. But I've lived longer than my sister and my father. Hopefully the string will continue.

My wife and I have been married to each other since 1982. We have 3 "children" (in quotes only because they're long-past childhood), and 4 grandchildren. Two are in NYC and one is in LA. The oldest of the grands is 15 and in full-fledged teenager mode.

I'm Jewish, but also an atheist - if that makes sense. The ethnicity does mean a lot to me. I have always felt a sense of 'other'ness and, although I know that I benefit from white privilege, I no longer really think of myself as "white" because the people for whom that matters most do not - and that's perfectly fine with me.

I get obsessed with things. I bake sourdough. I make cocktails. I walk long distances. I develop websites - using Drupal mostly, though I'm now learning React and a few other Javascript frameworks like Sveltekit and Astro - and of course those all have adjacent, and necessary, technologies that I also want to learn. As I used to say in my Twitter profile, when I was still there, I try to learn something new every day.

I've been a software person since the late 1970's. I started out on mainframes - but that's become a distinction without a difference. I've written code in many languages, from Algol to YAML (I tried to think of one starting with Z but Zend is all I could come up with, but that's a company, not a language 🤷‍♂️). Still working, but I do plan to "retire" in the next 18 months or so - in quotes because I will certainly need to do something after that besides sleeping in.

Here is my #introduction:

My name is Christian, I live in Tübingen in southern #Germany.
I'm a #frontend developer. I love working with #CSS and #JS, especially #Vue but I'm also interested in #Svelte and #Astro.

Beside that I am a #music "addict", especially (but not only) #ClassicalMusic. I can hardly live one day without listing, playing #piano or #singing.

I love good #children #books. My side project: Translating "Het grote #rintje voorleesboek" into German without speaking any #Dutch.
