I like linux, zfs, zfsbootmenu, Proxmox, GrapheneOS... fungi, lichens, astronomy, gatos, dogs, birbs (especially corvids) Please use alt-text 💙 Probably listening to KEXP pfp: A black-on-green drawing of a "Curious French cat" 1956 by Sylvia Plath
Smol Paul and his new sidekick Smolla Paula: the wobbly monochrome partnership in crime we all need right now. Thank you so much for contributing to our fundraiser so we could make this happen -- I can't stop laughing at their little faces!

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.
I stopped at a farm stand on the way home from the plant nursery today. Made the brave choice to buy too many nectarines. It was the smallest option. The sign was like “Would you like too many nectarines, a comical amount of nectarines, or a literal bushel of nectarines?”, so my hands were tied.
I'm tired of being angry about AI, so everyone say Happy Birthday to the Curiosity Rover 💗 14 years of Mars science!
Made a friend while picking up plants today 😍

There have been many legendary Dwarf Fortress patch notes but this might be the greatest one yet:
Literally a week after Barnes was fired the hours of the CARE team were expanded from 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM - 1:00 AM. Firing Barnes got results fast! www.instagram.com/p/DboFnMosVVJ/
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 6mo agoSeattle's crisis response team leader Amy Barden hasn't met with Police Chief Shon Barnes since Bruce Harrell appointed him in 2024, despite the fact that the two departments are supposed to work together to decide which 911 calls require cops and which require a social work/mental health response.

I wish I had the awareness that an owl does.

Pretty cool to be living in a time where all the software I need for creative work runs natively on Linux. Well, except dxo pureraw but I can live without it, and it's worth it for my computer to be a computer again and not an advertisment and data collection machine
Going full anti-big-tech with Linux, Graphene OS, and Proton Mail. Looking for other alternatives, as well. Right now I use Keep Notes to create to-do lists and share them with my partner. Would love some recommendations for alternatives that serve the same purpose and don't cost money. Thanks!
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
Interesting: There’s now an anonymous, moderated list of companies that stop responding after you interviewed with them

rich right wingers and corporations actively destroyed online public spaces where scientists, journalists, educators and progressives could communicate semi-free of harassment then when those internet refugees naturally coalesce in any remaining spaces they get yelled at for being in a bubble

NASA's Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter for a decade, re-writing textbooks. Another pretty good trick: its off-the-shelf camera captured stunners, thanks to dedicated amateur image processors. Back at orbit 50 I made this graphic to celebrate them: www.missionjuno.swri.edu/news/nasa-s-...
I really want to get back to being a page that posts mostly cat pictures and silly nonsense when I get stoned. Unfortunately, I'm in a lot of pain, and I had to buy this wheelchair and I'm going to end up having surgery and lots of OT, and if you could help, I would appreciate it! 🥹🫶
Nia (Nye-uh) ETQ. FREE LINK@blogofmanythings.art · 2w agoThis is not a fundraiser per se, but if anyone wants to help with the cost of the wheelchair we would appreciate it. Alt text is hard on carpal tunnel, but for every new donation, I will add a new picture of one of the cats to this thread. 🐾 💕💸 ko-fi.com/aleyen/goal?...
