Long horn moth weekend (apparently).
Spotted the moth with excessively long antennae yesterday and the shiny metallic moth today.

Nowhere Left to Hide - Uncovering All of the Massive Young Embedded Star Clusters in the #Antennae with JWST: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.03124 -> "We identify a population of 45 sources, 40 previously unknown, with high Bralpha/Halpha and Paalpha/Halpha flux ratios which are likely very young clusters still embedded or just emerging from their natal cocoons".

sorry about this recent flurry of queries, iirc there's only one more up my sleeve after this, after which i hope not to disturb you again for a while. actually sod it, i'll ask all here in this one thread, then be done.

1. my #sharkey #Lists & #Antennae [see the pics] seem to appear in random sequence, which though super trivial i know, i nonetheless am finding quite annoying. is there some auto-sorting option available i've so far overlooked? is there otherwise any way i can manually reorder them? ta.

2. since recently returning to blahajzone from friendica, i'm now trying to finally iron out some of the matters in the sharkey GUI i've historically not understood. another of these is... i have enabled the option to keep a backup of my UI settings / arrangement, but atm i feel i need to play around more with various column & widget combos, both in the default & deck modes, to find something that fits me like a glove. however, i'd like to manually save each "iteration" for easy future return if needed, rather than have to manually repeat my settings tweaks each time. is there such an option pls, for me to save multiple versions, then later do on the fly reversions to one or other via just a click from a list? afaict the auto-backup only saves whatever is my current suite of settings, ie losing my historical versions.

3. in the deck view, iirc, i can have multiple "windowlets" open at once, but in the default view the ... default ... seems to be not windowlets but complete pages, which then jumps me from whatever i was currently looking at, losing my place ( the Back button iirc takes me back to that prior view, but only to the top of the timeline, thus losing my place ). opening items as windowlets seems available from the context menu, but can i make that my actual default action?

ta, & sorry for being a PITA

@blahaj @supakaity @ada i have now added the nickname & handle of three of these nuisance accounts, to my Keywords to exclude field in some of my #antennae, & shall now see if this works, given the existing account blocks [seem to have] failed. 🤞

@ada @lynfox ack, here's another example, from another of my #antennae, one for many of my "non-geek" hashtags, in which one of my desired tags is

#grammarbut the aggravating lack of finesse in the code here means that false-hits like https://blahaj.zone/notes/ajonn72w5mjd02lr also occur.

this is getting really frustrating. i love #Friendica, but atm am in a transitional phase reconsidering staying with it, or returning here to my #Sharkey account... & ironically the prime determinant both ways is hashtags. Friendica is excellent at letting users tightly refine their tag searches to eliminate such false-hits, but i recently learned the code is inefficient thus causes high resource demand on the servers, thus is a major issue for small instances with modest HW. otoh Sharkey seems adept at fetching all my tags no wukkas... just lotsa garbage along with them. gaaaah.
