Lemmy share images - Master of Backgrounds, Hoarder of Screensavers (+17 more images in post)
Just a bunch of publicly posted images I pulled from a retired old washed up link aggregation site in the past to use as backgrounds. (all are 3rd party hosted)
I picked them out over time as abstract inspiration to look at on my devices while designing stuff in CAD. Mostly to remind myself to be more artistic and less utilitarian.
Edit: I was reading the Foundation series when I saved these, and indeed, this could be a tour of the sectors and space above Trantor.
Sorry to hear that. It could be a few things. The place that I used to host these is usually used more for NSFW stuff. It is just a server an individual hosts. I tried to add them to Post Images, but it looks like that site blocked my VPN and I'm too lazy to go refresh it on my workstation. You may be seeing a bug due to Lemmy's picture cache, I don't know his that works exactly, but like I've seen 3rd party hosted images work when the hosting site is down and I don't think I had them locally cached on my device. I know there are "helpers" like bots that transfer data between instances and these must be configured somehow to keep the connections refreshed, but that is about all I know.
