Levi Epenetos surfing the quarter final of WSL Cape Town Pro 2025.

The shot has a lot of contrast and nice texture on the water from being backlit / sidelit by the sun. It was still bright enough to shoot with 1/1000s in order to capture the spray and hectic movements. Surfing is a quick sport. Chose a larger aperture because I wanted detail on the face of the wave and the spray. Auto ISO to keep my time and aperture, Image stabiliser on, AF on servo mode and Zone AF.

Sehr geil, nach dem gestrigen #WindowsUpdate ging nicht nur, wie bei jedem major H Update mein #WSL kaputt und sicher auch noch #WakeOnLan, nein, diesesmal hat es als Bonus noch die #Aktivierung verloren und behauptet, ich hätte neue Hardware und soll eine neue #Windows #Lizenz kaufen.

Diese Pisser aus #Redmond gehen mir so auf den Sack man. 🖕

Zum Glück bin ich a) zu Hause und muss nicht remote drauf und b) habe ich heute weg Familie frei und dann ist Wochenende

So, I'm currently installing WSL in an attempt to get Windows 11 to view various ext4 filesystems, as I do a lot of stuff with Rasperry Pi machines. This feels...kinda wrong. I hope it works though. I know just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be a true expert.

#WSL#Linux#Windows

In 2001, Steve Ballmer famously referred to Linux as a "cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches," claiming it posed a direct threat to Microsoft’s business model and market share. He saw Linux as a parasitic force, undermining the proprietary software model that Microsoft had built its empire on. Fast forward two decades, and the landscape looks drastically different. Microsoft not only runs Linux on Azure, but also contributes regularly to the Linux kernel, has embraced Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to allow Windows users to run Linux natively, and even acquired GitHub, the largest open-source hosting platform. This about-face underscores an undeniable truth: open-source is a force that is impossible to ignore. It doesn’t always win immediately, but its collaborative and transparent development model has proven resilient, and in the long term, it has reshaped the very fabric of the tech world. Open-source wins, not by force, but by virtue of its ability to adapt and thrive in the face of competition.
