The most expensive dumbell in the world..

We've taken off the forestay yesterday, we'll take it all apart, have a new stay made and try to put the whole thing back together without breaking anything.

I'm so done going up the mast when its only partly stayed, it's harrowing af

@artsun @evets the cable has never been replaced and the boat is 42 years old, the lifetime of a stay is like 10 years? So we took it off after finding candy stripes on the backstay as caution.

This Low Tech magazine post on marine navigation <solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2008
> perfectly mirrors my worries about tech propaganda and digital-only services. I cannot simply use pen and paper anymore, because I have to have OTP codes, electronic registration, GPS, dedicated service apps, NFC cards, and whatnot. Analogue alternatives to these are being phased out, to the detriment of privacy, resilience, and healthy system redundancy. I don’t like that.

Satellite Navigation in the 18th Century

More than two centuries ago, it was possible to very accurately pinpoint your position on earth by means of ‘satellites’.

In the image, a woman is standing in front of two tents. She's wearing a brown dress and a black hat with a feather on it. The woman holds a pair of S-shaped apparently metallic forms in her hands, possibly preparing to perform an act or demonstrate some skill related to these things. Behind her, there are two blue tents set up, one larger than the other. A table is also visible near the center of the image, suggesting that this might be part of a fair or outdoor event.
