Stell Dir vor, Du bist Fliesenleger und hast den auftrag, in einem Neubau Küche und Bad jeweils Boden und Wände zu fliesen. Nach vier Wochen kommt der Bauherr und du hast nur das Bad fertig, in der Küche ist nix gemacht. Und Du sagst dann: "Die Küche ist zu blöd, die kann man nicht fliesen, das bringt nix......" Stell Dir vor, Du bist Dachdecker und sollst ein Satteldach dämmen und eindecken, insgesamt 160 qm. Nach vier Wochen kommt der Bauherr, die Südseite ist perfekt, die Nordseite weit o…

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) Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos. The outline rectangles appear as you move the mouse, and then fade out when you stop moving the mouse. This is unlike the main photo page where they are always visible when the mouse is over the photo. The rectangle…

Ich muss mal ein paar Worte dem Wilfried widmen, der gestern meinen Kommentar gelöscht hatte und mich danach aus seiner "Freundesliste" nahm. Auch andere wurden gelöscht, wie ich es verfolgen kann. Gerade in der momentanen Zeit, kann ich das nicht so mal stehen lassen.

[New as of April 2022, latest minor edit to instructions August 2023] Since the native replace feature of our website no longer works for all file types, we are offering you an alternative replace function for photos today. How does it work? Short, summary version: - find the old picture, set it to 'private' and copy the picture number, - upload the new image, set it to 'private', click 'Replace', - paste the number of the old picture and start the process. In detail: ❶…

On January 12, 2022, Mozilla released the updated version 96.0 of the Firefox browser . This causes a log-in error with ipernity . But obviously this is not only an ipernity problem: www.ghacks.net/2022/01/13/some-firefox-users-report-connection-issues-workaround-inside As an interim solution, you can use Chrome, Opera or other browsers. If you prefer to overcome the log-in problem with Firefox, you can use the following workaround, which was published by Boarischa Krautmo : ♦…

In letzter Zeit wird die Feiheit sehr oft bemüht, als ein einzuforderndes Recht gegenüber der Gesellschaft und dem Staat. Freiheit wird dabei im Sinne eines individuellen Anspruches auf Befreiung von gesellschaftlichen Pflichten verstanden. Freiheit als das Recht des Einzelnen, bestimmte Regeln nicht zu befolgen, Befreiung von Pflichten...... Ganz konkret: Es geht um die Freiheit, das Recht, keine Maske zu tragen, sich nicht zu impfen, sich ohne Schutz zu treffen, keine Rücksicht zu nehmen...…

Dear club members, dear friends, In 2017, when I was asked by William Sutherland and Lutz Petersen to help save ipernity from shipwreck, I had just turned 65. I felt too young and energetic for a tranquil retirement. So I went for it, knowing well that it would be a challenging venture full of uncertainties because no one on the founding team was a qualified IT professional. But volunteering for a worthwhile non-profit project appealed to me, and as a passionate mountaineer I was used to hand…

Yesterday there was a deflagration of ether vapour at the chemical institute in Innsbruck (Austria). Such a deflagration is a fast combustion at the boundary surface between the heavy ether vapour and the lighter air above it after ignition. If the ether vapour had been swirled with the air beforehand, there would have been a huge explosion after ignition. But not a detonation . This is because in a detonation, the initial ignition creates a pressure wave that spreads through the expl…

We have now updated the Explore Groups page so that it really is a diverse and up-to-date overview of our club life. Some suggestions had to be rejected because either no descriptions existed or they were not multilingual. (After all, it gives a poor impression if a title or a description is not displayed in the language a visito…
