    This is something I struggled with and still struggle with to this day. I searched for a long time for a simple web app to connect my Nextcloud calendar (now Radicale), and one day, a hero who has since disappeared proposed Bloben (the link leads to a copy of the repo that I luckily had before he deleted his repository).

    The Luna application began to take shape, but the developer is very young and very busy with his studies. Progress is therefore very, very, very slow.

    Finally, there is Fluid-Calendar, which is very promising, but a couple of functions are still missing, which is why I’m sticking with Bloben for the moment.

    I find it crazy that the community offers so many calendar solutions without providing a truly reliable and efficient frontend solution.


  • I consider myself an artist. I work with sound and image. AI productions are beautiful and good because they are based on the work of artists who create beauty and goodness. The day AI finishes killing the artists it draws inspiration from, and has no one’s work left to feed its algorithms, art will be dead. This is what those who promote AI as it is today are fostering. This is just my opinion and reflects only my views.


  • Technically, this photo looks really great.
    The focus and sharpness are spot on.
    The moment is nice, though the background and lighting could be a bit better. I’m sure you can really enhance this shot with a little post-processing.

    Either way, great job! I wish I had the gear and opportunities to shoot something like this.

    You have to realize that this is not macrophotography though.

    Macrophotography is a type of photography where you take really close-up pictures of small things to make them look big and clear. It helps you see things that your eyes might not notice, like the tiny hairs on a bee or the patterns on a butterfly’s wing.

    While some telephoto lenses have a “macro mode” that lets you focus closer than usual, they don’t work as well as a true macro lens. However, you can use extension tubes or close-up filters with a telephoto lens to get better macro shots.

    You can also try the reverse lens technique. It involves flipping a regular lens backward using a reverse adapter ring.

    When reversed, the lens works like a magnifying glass, allowing you to capture extreme close-ups—great for macro photography on a budget. This method works best with a 50mm lens, but you lose autofocus and aperture control, so you have to adjust settings manually.
