Okay, that's funny AND makes you think.

Interesting. I basically use Syncthing to get files around between my devices.

For devices of other people, it's gonna need more than syncing through the network both devices should be connected to, to be really considered an "Airdop alternative" IMHO

soooo how does app know that self-signed cert generated by another copy of app, and not by man-in-the-middle? Is there some kind of manual fingerprint checking?

Main improvements is support for NVME disks in virtual machines as well as support for migrating LXD clusters over to Incus.

I've been making more use of GDQuest's emacs package this last week and... wow, #GameDev is suddenly a much more pleasant experience. Being able to use tools I'm comfortable with and just open Godot to edit levels or run the game is quite nice.

The first message between two computers on ARPANET was sent #OTD in 1969. The “LO” of “LOGIN” was successfully transmitted and then one of the systems crashed.

in reply to Robert McNees

They re-sent the “LOGIN” message an hour later, establishing a connection between UCLA and Stanford.

So technically the first three characters transmitted over what would become the internet were “LOL.”

One's sense of wonder extends to trying to imagine what the night sky might look like if one stood on a planet captive to a star in such a nebula?

Would 'Dark Skies' be an unfathomable concept to one or would it be a case that the closer one is to an extended object the less one can see it?

in reply to (moving) APOD

My main question, is the star close enough to the nebula that it is illuminating the nebula? And the answer is, yes, it is. The blue light in the nebula is from the star shown. Gamma Casseopia, the brightest star in Casseopeia about 3 light years away from IC59 and IC63.

Difficult to see with amateur scopes.

This brings back memories. Actually, I remember having these thoughts about elementary school text books, but we never came close to getting through our science text books.

In third grade, I had nephritis (following strep throat), and I was out so long, months, that the school sent me tutor to catch me up once I was well enough to sit up for an hour a day. It didn't take long to catch up, and I was able to use the extra time to do science chapters. I was so excited.

I've turned one of my teaching modules in #Paleontology into an #OER. It's only one single lab, but many more are waiting to be OER-ised... therefore I really need your input to avoid future mistakes.

Thanks to the feedback (shoutout to @leouieda and @JMMaok) I knew this:
✅ Must be editable
✅ Must include rubric
✅ Must include an example: I included a possible solution but without an essay, just the code. Now in #Rlanguage but #Python and #JuliaLang will follow.

The most watershed decision was to use #Quarto for everything to make it editable and renderable using Open Source tools and to make it version control-compatible. For people not familiar with #Quarto this may be a barrier?
Not sure what a good alternative would be. #OpenPedagogy



The #Tory model for #socialcare:

1. defund local councils, while retaining their social care responsibilities;

2. Budget cuts make #infrastructure increasingly harder to maintain (or replace);

3. 'Encourage' councils to use private provision to make up gap between need & public provision for care;

4. 'allow' market rates to be set by providers & open sector to #investment to spur 'innovation' in provision;

5. watch taxpayers money flow to the rich (not the needy)

Okay, that's funny, but still ... that can't be a real question considering her yellow outfit is Tarantino's direct homage to Bruce Lee's iconic original.

@Isaac Kuo No doubt someone shot down Tarantino's ego with your insight. But the little girl is the best!


How Our Roads Have Become an Invasive Species
Ours is a time of what environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb describes as an “infrastructure tsunami.” The automobile reigns supreme and civilization’s appetite for new roads appears insatiable. There are about 40 million miles of roadways in the world, Goldfarb writes, and our collective future will bring many more cars and the need for even more roads. But the environmental and social costs of this tsunami are almost unimaginable.


I know it's not doing anything special compositionally, but I like this shot anyway. My wife.

@eumrz Yes, film is making a comeback, same as vinyl. Kodak still makes film, and you can find film labs that will develop and scan film for you in many major cities. Look through #BelieveInFilm for more.


When sperm whales need a nap, they take a deep breath, dive down about 45 feet and arrange themselves into perfectly-level, vertical patterns. They sleep sound and still for up to two hours at a time between breaths, in pods of 5 or 6 whales, presumably for protection. No one knew whales slept vertically until a 2008 study documented the behavior. And no one captured really good photography of it in the wild until 2017 with Patrick Dykstra documenting sperm whales.

I don't want to be discouraging, but this was already attempted with OStatus, which was going for the same thing with Atom feeds. It did not survive in that form, as the complexities of ActivityPub turned out necessary for real-world use outside developer circles.
