Bronica S2, Fuji Acros film
I've always liked the tonality of the rocks in this image. Acros does such a wonderful job in that regard. You can also clearly see each row of waves as they approach the shore in all of their frothy inevitability. I can almost hear them.

There's currently an incident involving some kind of Japanese skids who call themselves the "Kuroneko" organization.
They seem to be attempting to commit DDoS attacks on Misskey servers, constantly creating new accounts on compromised instances and spamming advertisements for their hacking services.
Admins who are federating with these compromised servers, while they might not get compromised themselves, may be affected by the sheer amount of traffic volume from their spam.
Admins are advised to #fediblock or temporarily stop sending requests to affected servers for now, if they don't want to get secondhand DoS'd
IMO I never expected them to be Japanese out of all things, kinda funny. They also host VOICEROID and VOICEVOX TTS bots on their Discord apparently. Kinda a weird flex I guess.
But yeah, probably just a bunch of skids.

Wowzers, that Mastodon CVE recently was quite something:
• You can inject a post that is attributed to any remote user
• You can overwrite the server's copy of any remote user
• You can rekey the server's copy of any remote user, by just listing another key
