As they swing past one another (within the central white dot in the Webb images), the stellar winds from each star slam together, the material compresses, and carbon-rich dust forms. Webb’s latest observations show 17 dust shells shining in mid-infrared light that are expanding at regular intervals into the surrounding space.

[…]

Like clockwork, the stars’ winds generate dust for several months every eight years, as the pair make their closest approach during a wide, elongated orbit.

Baaically you’re looking at dust showing a pattern of stellar turbulence. There’s a nice video clip in the article that shows how the two stars orbit each other. Because the orbit is consistent, it is producing these compression waves every 8 years when the stars are closest to each other.

Also interesting:

The dust’s distribution isn’t uniform. Though this isn’t obvious at first glance, zooming in on the shells in Webb’s images reveals that some of the dust has “piled up,” forming amorphous, delicate clouds that are as large as our entire solar system.

If you’re posting relevant, quality & especially original content then it’s not spam. If you crosspost it to a bunch of communities on the same server that’s a little spammy, so maybe don’t do that, but I don’t think it’s spammy to crosspost to similar communities on other servers.

Also consider defining the scope of your new community differently. It might be the same topic as another community, but is it more focused? more nuanced? what’s the niche you want to fill that the larger community doesn’t, or doesn’t dive deeply enough into?

And finally manage your expectations. You might have to be the sole contributor for a year or more before you start seeing active participation from other users.

Ah, if all of your email aliases trace back to your personal, locally hosted server, of which you are the only user, on presumably your personally owned domain, it will not be private… well private in the sense that it’s just you I guess… but super duper identifiable - because it’s just you. At which point why bother with the aliases.

Ah yes, of course the housewife and the kitchen are an example of co-evolution.

Journey Without Goal by Chogyam Trungpa

I recommend them in this order. I think Journey Without Goal is more useful after reading the other two - it’s not a good starting point. The idea is sort of to start with calming the noise in your head that makes you anxious or upset, then explore understanding and getting to know yourself, and then after finding some measure of internal stability work on larger perspectives on your life and your relationship with others.

Oh yeah, the work she’s been doing is like 30 years overdue.

Hmm, this is an interesting interpretation… I don’t remember anything being sold in Rudolph…

Are you referring to the “Island of Misfit Toys” part, or the “silver and gold” part?

Heh, Lina Kahn’s done the best job at that of anyone in years. Rupert Murdoch has pushed hundreds of hit pieces against her because she’s been so strong on the antitrust suits.

If it can’t be packaged and sold for a guaranteed return it’s not worth anything.

Hmm…

The ketogenic diet is not considered a benign, holistic, or all-natural treatment. As with any serious medical therapy, it may result in complications, although these are generally less severe and less frequent than with anticonvulsant medication or surgery. […] Supplements are necessary to counter the dietary deficiency of many micronutrients. […] Like many anticonvulsant drugs, the ketogenic diet has an adverse effect on bone health. […] In adolescents and adults, common side effects reported include weight loss, constipation, dyslipidemia, and in women, dysmenorrhea.

Sounds like you’re right, this diet is something that should be done for specific medical reasons, with professional guidance and with specific goals in mind:

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate dietary therapy that in conventional medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children.

Oh god, not another fucking pod.

This article reads like a paid advertisement. The whole website looks like it’s just shilling techbro bullshit.

Remember kids, always reject corporatization of public services.

The rental economy calls to us and we must go…

Probably not. As far away as Voyager 1 & 2 are, if you marked them on this map they would still just be on top of our star.

However long it takes us to build a craft with a camera that can climb above the galactic plane and look down at the core. There’s too much stuff in the way from where we are:

Hahhh… well really, the only way to test backups is to try to restore from them. VMs are extremely helpful for this - you can try to restore a VM mirror of your production system, see if it works as expected, wipe it and start over if it doesn’t.

anyone who calls you a Russian propagandist

This is in fact a propaganda piece. It presents no information, only opinions. It makes only vague accusations, not specific examples of the “lies” which could be discussed or disproven.

Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

it’s mighty convenient how Russia being tied up in Ukraine

This sentence implies that “the western empire” is somehow to blame for Russia not getting to invade and conquer a neighbor quickly and easily, and that that’s a bad thing.

If Russia finds “being tied up in Ukraine” inconvenient, I can think of one way they could resolve that… go the fuck home.

Yes, ask questions, be skeptical, don’t take the official story at face value… but don’t accept answers to those questions from Putin sympathizers.

This has been coming since they announced Manifest v3. Anyone paying any attention at all knew this was going to happen.

I object!

White men voting for trumpism is also the issue.

I second this - virtualization is the easiest way to branch out and try new things. You can keep the working system you already have, and also experiment with other systems.

A further advantage is that you can run services in separate VMs, which helps if you need isolated contexts for security, privacy, or stability reasons. And, if you break something while you’re learning you can just delete that VM and start over without affecting your other working services.
