Welcome to space, where one gets to-

One if the many things I dislike about the streaming TV era: seasons are so short, and there’s such a huge lag between them that I have no fucking clue who these people are anymore.

Otoh, it makes it super easy to just not give a fuck and put it down.

🚨 Beyond the limit 🚨

New ESO study finds that current proposals to launch 1.7+ million satellites into orbit would have devastating consequences for astronomy.

The most extreme proposals come from SpaceX & Reflect Orbital

SpaceX plans to launch 1 million satellites for space-based data centres.

This diagram shows the satellites that would be visible above our VLT:

⚪ invisible satellites in Earth’s shadow
🟠 2000 satellites brighter than magnitude 7
🔴 200 satellites brighter than magnitude 5

Y’a pas à dire, l’interface @12train , c’est quand même le pied : tu cherches ton train, tu cliques, tu paies, tu as une page récapitulative avec tous les PDFs du trajet.

Simple, efficace.

Ça en dit long sur notre société qu’une personne motivée peut rendre le service qu’aucune grosse entreprise n’est plus capable de faire !

Merci 12trains ! Tu rends le processus de réservation tellement moins stressant !

Computer keyboards should have a crumb tray, like toasters, to make it easier to empty out all the crumbs, skin flakes and beard hairs.

There appears to be some black magic happening here. The font calculates the checksum. https://github.com/graphicore/librebarcode

Lots of regrettable silliness here: two papers by Max Planck (!) have been retracted, probably by some automated process that based the decision on the same material appearing in another journal (which was far more common at the time, and even Einstein did it) and a rebuttal to a work being published under the same title (but not author) as the thing being rebutted.

But the funniest line in the article is:

“Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.”

Passer du système de gestion de contenu #WordPress au générateur de sites statiques #Hugo c’est changer de paradigme, il faut savoir ce que l’on va gagner et ce que l’on va perdre et il faut retrousser ses manches, un jour viendra où cela se fera en un clic, mais ce n’est pas aujourd’hui !

In the past week, some PLA+ I've been using for a couple of years has started misbehaving. Jammed extruder, clogged hot end, the works.

I've disassembled the whole printing head about 5 times. Done cold pulls. Swapped the filament for a fresh spool. Replaced desiccant. Lubricated stuff until there's less friction than in space. Nothing worked.

Until I printed with the printer door open to let some air in.

It's hot in Belgium. So hot it's starting to impact the properties of materials.
