Litografías México en los 1600’s

So I was at the Banamex Museum for a walk and found this around 2021, forgot to capture the full info on the dates and authors but this is the first time i’ve seen any representation of Mexico City being a walled city with bridges that spawned all the way from Iztapalapa.

KEYFRAME PRO/MP Cannot Launch or Hangs

So if you’re having problems with Keyframe Pro/MP not starting, or the app hanging, and not launching at all, specially when it was launching previously, there are two options.

a) Disable the Hardware Acceleration on Keyframe PRO/MP, since the app cannot be launched you’ll have to do this by modifying the file ” keyframe_mp.ini” located at C:\Users\<user>\Documents\keyframe_mp\config\keyframe_mp.ini

Going to hardwareAcceleratedPlayback and setting it to false

Setting hardwareAcceleratedPlayback to false

b) Disable NahimicService located on your Task Manager / Services

Right click and select Disable

Then relaunch Keyframe MP/PRO, it should run as before with any of those two options.

Eadweard Muybridge, trip to Mexico photos from 1876

Stumbled across this collection from stacks.stanford.edu, where Muybridge travelled to Mexico and Central America during the late 1870’s. Amazing to see through the eyes of an explorer an analyst of the human motion, some architecture specially from the land where we grew in. A trip to the past, vast and populated at a times lonesome and isolated, lot’s of fishermen, nature and habitants that built the cities we live in this days.

Forget about Youtube, Napster for video is here (LBRY)

So after all this round of censorship, found this amazing protocol/app that works for a P2P based video streaming. Pretty much like if Youtube and Napster had a baby and it’s called LBRY.

With normal client and web browser


Basically the protocol which is based on the blockchain (torrent, bitcoin) works as a CDN with two main providers, one is the Uploader then The host website which is Odysee. Whenever you upload a video it stays on your computer and the CDN host, then whoever watches it, stores it as well. So when the access is blocked (copyright, DMCA, censorship) since the company is based in the US, they have to block the access but they do not delete the files, just render them unaccessible by traditional means, meaning that if you get your hands on a modified client, you can still access all the blocked content.

This content cannot be removed so basically is censorship, copyright free CDN video protocol.

With the modified open source client.
