There is this restaurant at #Chellanam in #Kochi called #Varambu (വരമ്പ്). You can choose to walk there but they'll take you there and bring you back in a small motorized boat (വഞ്ചി). The food was great and the vibes were excellent. 📷 zeens.app/profile/vigneshn.in/post/…

Black and white photo of the person who was driving our motorized boat. My friends are there on each side of the frame out of focus. The boat driver is also wearing a headlamp that is switched off.

#Privacy and #security are not on the opposite sides of the spectrum. You don't have to sacrifice one for the other. Mass #surveillance helps the government suppress dissent. Regular people follow the rules, but people doing illegal things don't, and they will find ways to keep themselves hidden.

I took the Helios 44 on a night walk exploring different street food spots at Panampilly and this street food chef caught my eye. No AI, no scam altman, no shareholder profits, no billion dollar circle jerk - just pure unadulterated hard work and dedication. #Kochi #NoAI #blender #food #kerala

This was shot using a Helios lens (OUR lens was made in the USSR). Objectively the lens is bad, it has all the problems a lens has, from chromatic aberrations to bad lens flares, but it has something the newer lens doesn't have - A character, a certain je ne sais quoi... #Photography

It is a black and white photo of a Pentax film camera sitting on a shelf collecting dust

Raataan Lambiyan from Shershaah is a good #song that was ruined by one or more of the following people Tanishk Bagchi Azeem Dayani Meggha VA Baalii Michael Edwin Pillai Eric Pillai @ (Future Sound of Bombay) The lossless file has the percussion clipping because of bad #mixing #rant #audacity

The sound waveform from Audacity (an open source sound editing application) shows that the waves are getting clipped and is becoming squared off when the amplitude is high. This usually happens when the audio is not mixed properly i.e the audio levels were not properly adjusted.

This is again the part of my series - People solve people problems. I'd like to see the current AI solve problems like these. I see the construction workers and I appreciate the incredible work they do to make human lives easier. #Kochi #Photography

A rectangular metro pillar is being constructed and people are loading something onto its top using a crane. There is a crane hook. There is a makeshift steps adjacent to the pillar and people are standing on it. There are coconut trees in the background towards the bottom right of the frame.

I am not a designer, I have done some graphics #design while I was in college and I do dabble in it at times. One of the difficult things to do for me at least is to find the right #color #palette for a project, and now I have started looking at the world to learn it. #Kochi #Photography

There is a green door with a brass lock. There is a shadow of the leaves of a tree on the door and the walls (which are white). There is also a stone oil lamp on the wall towards the right

It is just rectangles of the colors that I picked from the image of the door which looks pleasant to my eyes

Just because it's beautiful doesn't mean it's good.... and no, I'm not talking about your ex. Water hyacinth or കുളവാഴ is an invasive species from South America introduced to India by the British for its flowers. It kills fishes and other organisms and reduces the biodiversity. #Kochi #photography

A large stream covered with water hyacinth. Palm trees on the left side. Some trees on the farther end and a concrete stone banking on the right.

If you know me, you'd know that I don't like #GenerativeAI and overall #enshittification of the world. When I walk in the city, I like to look at things that only #people can do and AI can't, this is one of those things. People solve people problems! #nogenAI #photography #kochi #life #job

This is a black and white photo of a person sitting at the desk working at a shop that repairs motors from different appliances like fans, mixers etc.
The shop is full of tools, motor parts, there is a TV on a shelf - the old CRT type. There are two drums towards the right - Oil I presume. There are few large batteries sitting in the front.

Remember that flyover in Kochi that had to be demolished and rebuilt due to corruption and shoddy construction?... This is it, the Palarivattom flyover - standing strong! #traffic #kochi #longexposure #photography

It is a long exposure photograph of the Palarivattom flyover taken from the pedestrian overpass. The camera is facing the flyover towards the Edapally side. The camera is not at the dead centre of the road because the trees blocked the view. It shows the red streaks of light formed by the car rear lights on the left side of the road and white streaks of light of the headlights on the right side of the road with the divided containing plants and trees in between the left and right lanes.

The flyover is at the far end of the photo where the road slowly starts curving up a little.

There are also dashed yellow streaks made by the flashing indicator of the vehicles wanting to exit the highway towards the left.

If you have a #flipper zero, now would be a good time to check if your battery has started bulging. There are boards on the top and it will bend. It will be damaged if you leave it in storage. #electronics #repair

The flipper zero is opened up and it shows the battery bulging which is pushing against a plastic piece and the circuit board on top of it

On first look this looks like some other place but it is the start of the #infopark expressway where it meets seaport airport road. The colors during the #sunset was really nice and I wanted to capture that. #photography #kakkanad #kochi #kerala

There is a golden color in the sky towards the horizon. There are sparse clouds.
There is the gateway at the start of infopark expressway towards the right of the photo and two buildings towards the left. There are cars on the road towards the bottom of the photo.

There is an unused railway station called the Cochin Harbour Terminus at #Willingdon Island. It is not a safe place to visit - people with substance use disorder, people experiencing homelessness. It is a really #calm and #quiet place though. #Kochi #abandoned #railway

The photo shows an old abandoned railway station. The station board is clearly visible which says Cochin Harbour Terminus in Malayalam, Hindi and English. The tracks are full of grass and they've encroached onto the platform. The truss work and everything else seem to be well preserved. It is clean except for used needles and other used addictive substance packets here and there.

#ഇരിങ്ങാലക്കുട അടുത്ത് അവുണ്ടചിറ ചാൽ എന്ന ഒരു സ്ഥലം ഉണ്ട്. അവിടെ ഒരു റോട് വന്ന് അവസാനിക്കുന്നത് ഒരു പാടത്താണ്. എന്നേലും ഒക്കെ അവിടെ ഒരു പാലം വരും എന്ന് ആണ് വർഷങ്ങൾ ആയി കേട്ട് കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നത്. ഇതുവരെ പാലം വന്നിട്ടില്ല, അത് കൊണ്ട് തന്നെ ആ #പ്രകൃതി ഭംഗി അങ്ങനെ തന്നെ നിൽക്കുന്നുണ്ട് #photography #landscape #irinjalakuda #keralam

The photo is of a marshy land with coconut trees on the horizon. There is an overhead electric line going towards the other side of the marsh where another road starts. The bridge is supposed to be between the road that I'm standing on to the road on the other side (there is no bridge). There are lots of birds sitting on the power lines. There is water and water hyacinth and it is all green. There are no flowers on the water hyacinth. The skies are hazy.

It was nice visiting the Nicholas #Roerich #Art Gallery and #Museusm in #Himachal He was a great artist and his paintings of the Himalayas were incredible! He was also an explorer and peacenik. Read up on the Roerich pact to know more. #photography #himalayas #flowers

There is a concrete path with a tree towards the left side. Ahead of the path is a cherry blossom in the shape of an arch that is covering over the path. There are coniferous trees as well. This path goes towards the final resting place of Nicholas Roerich.

There are lots of flat sculptures of different deities that are placed on a rocky wall in steps. I have no clue about their history but it looks beautiful.

A Himalayan peak has been framed between the branches of trees. You can also see the roof top of the stage near the flat sculptures in the previous photo

You can plug into your car's OBD2 port and connect to the CAN Bus in your car and see what the components in your car are communicating with each other... Here I'm trying to figure out how to use the Savyy CAN app and MrDIY ESP32 OBD2 shield to add the interpretation of each signal - (regen here)

The picture is inside the car. The car is on and the infotainment screen and the dash can be seen. In front is a laptop screen with the Savyy CAN app running the sniffer option to see the changing bits.
