Er will nicht kommen, der Schlaf. Auch nicht nach dem 100sten Schaf. Und doch bleibe ich liegen. Ich zähle jetzt Ziegen.

Hör auf zu heulen, Blödmann Oder: Warum manchmal der härteste Satz der liebevollste ist --- Es gibt Momente im Leben, da brauchen wir eine warme Umarmung, ein offenes Ohr und jemanden, der sagt: "Ich verstehe dich." Vielleicht noch eine Tasse Tee mit zu viel Honig und ein Taschentuch (idealerweise mit Aloe Vera, weil die Nase schon rot genug ist). Und dann gibt es Momente, da brauchen wir jemanden, der uns beim Kragen packt und sagt: **"Hör auf zu heulen, Blödmann."** Klingt hart?…

Am frühen Morgen, wenn die Welt noch ungeordnet zwischen Nacht und Tag liegt, tritt ein Mönch in den Hof des Klosters. Der Boden ist kühl vom nächtlichen Tau, und das Licht fällt milchig durch die hölzernen Balken. Er hebt seinen Besen an, langsam, fast umständlich, als würde er sich erst an dieses Werkzeug erinnern müssen. Dann setzt er ihn in Bewegung. Sand gleitet, Kiesel knirschen, ein winziges Geräusch zwischen zwei Atemzügen. *Dies ist Ichigyo-Zammai:* die Hingabe an eine einzige Handlung…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, As the seasons change we're grateful for our wonderful community and our continuing working website. We hope the new season brings great art and beauty to each of us. Thank you all for contributing to our modest and advert free place on the web. 1) Group search feature. It was noticed that the Search feature for groups only looked at the title. This update adds the option of including the group description in the search. This is a benefit both…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Photon festival. We have started an experiment. From September 5 to 7, 2025, we had a booth at the PHOTON Photography Festival in Illingen / Saar, Germany, where we promoted Ipernity. Thanks to Bernhard (Bergfex), who traveled from Austria especially for this event, we were able to talk to visitors at the festival and raise awareness of Ipernity. We'll have to wait and see if this will be reflected in the membership numbers. We also l…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Facelift for videos. If you recall when the Adobe Flash Player was disbanded, the use of the HTML5 'video' tag was implemented. But the coding provided by 'Share' under the 'Actions' menu was not updated from using the iframe tag. This has been rectified, for audio files too, so that they can be included in comments, image descriptions, and articles. Also, they can now be played within the medium and large size multiple item display pages. As a c…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Quota for adding to a group. This relates to groups having a limit on the number of contributions allowed in a day/week/month time frame. This was controlled on exact 24 hour intervals before the window allowing further additions was again opened. With this revision, the next open day starts at midnight, the next week starts Monday, and the next month on the first. Please see this article for a full explanation. 2) Minor update regarding pri…

World Photography Day is an annual, worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science and history of photography. This is the 5 th year that our club's World Photography Day group will honor the day and we will be accepting photographs taken on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. Each photographer may submit one photo. Last year we had record 73 participants. Can we get more this year? Tell your friend! Submissions will be accepted through the end of August to allow time for editing,…

Wir präsentieren uns erstmals auf einem Event - Live und in Farbe :-) So können wir im Gespräch für unsere Gemeinschaft werben und Fragen zu Ipernity direkt beantworten. Die erste Veranstaltung, auf der wir mit einen Stand vertreten sind, ist das PHOTON Fotofestival in Illingen / Saar in Deutschland.

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Server overload update. Access to our website is somewhat improved from the days of unhelpful error messages, but as our servers are still overloaded by bots the team continues to work on finding a solution to the delayed loading of pages. What the team has done: 1) See the previously published article . 2) A new firewall has been installed and with a few updates to the settings, error messages no longer appear and so there has…

The Ipernity platform functions much like a great rainforest. Each night, shortly after midnight, the servers clear, the systems refresh, and the site hums with renewed energy. In these early hours, Ipernity runs fast and clean, like dry air beginning to gather moisture. As users upload photos, exchange likes, and leave comments, they saturate the digital atmosphere with activity. Gradually, as the hours pass, this accumulated load begins to weigh heavy. Latency creeps in like rising humidi…

Real World meetings [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [NL] [PT] Ipernity members not only communicate online but also meet in real life to take photos together and/or exchange ideas. Such meetings are often organised in groups where photos of the meetings are also published. Please look below for a list of groups dedicated to upcoming and past meetings. If you are interested in photos which show participants of former meetings look at the group Iper-Treffen - die Köpfe hinter…

While we don't have a solution at this time, there is a work around for this. It takes a small amount of effort, but if mapping is important to you, then you can do so as follows: One can manually change the longitude and latitude for a photo. If the photo is already placed on the map you will see this option just to the right of 'View on map'. If the photo hasn't been placed on a map yet, the option is right below the "Locate on the map" option. Of course you need to know what the longitu…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Additional translation option. It is now possible to translate the "Interests" section in addition to the general section of a member's About page, accessed from the 'More information' link. 2) Minor feature adjustment. The 'Report as inappropriate' box that is seen on received ipermails has been moved over to the right. This is to avoid accidental checking of the box when deleting an ipermail on a touch screen device. 3) Public Domain W…

Saviez-vous que l’IA représente un réel danger pour la planète, au même titre que les voitures ou les avions ? Avec leurs centaines de milliards de paramètres et des terabytes de données pour les alimenter, faire tourner les systèmes d’IA générative demande beaucoup de puissance de calcul de serveurs situés dans des centres de données. Donc beaucoup d’électricité. Une requête sur ChatGPT consomme 10 fois plus d’électricité qu’une recherche sur Google, selon l’Agence internationale de l’énergie.…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Summary of the General Assembly of Members. We thank all of you who attended the online meeting. To summarise, the meeting went well, and the board for the coming year was elected. Of particular note is the exciting news that we now have a Vice President whose position will support promoting ipernity along with other tasks. We welcome Andreas Schindler Arlequin Photographie to the position and look forward to their support. That said, it…

My membership of Ipernity is now in its sixth year. I came to Ipernity at a time when the increasing commercialization of existing photo sites and/or communities was increasingly limiting my creativity. Trendy photos were highlighted, while the real treasures remained hidden. This is not surprising, the operators of these sites are profit-oriented, but they live from our work and our enthusiasm. They create a presentation space – but nothing more than that. I came to Ipernity, a real communit…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Is a group active? In order to support the current efforts by our members to improve the perception of groups, especially to visitors, a new feature has been added to assist them. On a group's homepage, the blue (?) icon beside 'Latest contributions' shows how long ago the most recent image was added to the group. Additionally, this is available via the [ i ] under each image. This is the date that a user agrees to a suggestion, or when a g…
