for any #NASA folks still monitoring the #NASAsocial hashtag, please please PLEASE:
– make it SOP to put up a super simple straightforward one-page mission timeline that has every significant mission event with a built-in TZ converter so folks playing along at home can set their local time zone & get accurate updated timings 🙏
– make it as low-tech as you can – mostly text, minimal “fancy” crap (JS, WebGL, user-tracking frameworks 🤮, etc.)
– link to it prominently at / near the top of the mission homepage, maybe with a handy “Next up: $MissionEventName” label as well
– publish an iCal feed that folks can either subscribe to or download^
– update the timings as they slip or advance as best you can (and have a single source of truth that’s used to update both the mission timings page & the iCal feed, obvs.)
– yes, I’m def open to a fully-remote position on your #SciComms team so long as I can mostly work UTC+10ish-friendly hours 😜

^ and then also maintain a canonical page with all your mission iCal feeds in one place – something like nasa[.]gov/SpaceNerds/MissionData/feeds/iCal/ would be appropriate 😜
Please take note, #CLI / #TUI devs.
Some of us still like 80x25, and would like our tools to be usable at that resolution.
P.S. 80x24, what was I thinking??? 😂🤦♂️
Dear #distro maintainers,
When you publish iso images and hashes, please don't just name your hash like this:
Unbro

itgrrl 
Aaron Veghgroovy-vibe-linux-1.1-amd64.iso
groovy-vibe-linux-1.1-aarch64.iso
groovy-vibe-linux-1.1-riscv.iso
sha256sums.txt
Instead do this:
groovy-vibe-linux-1.1-amd64.iso
groovy-vibe-linux-1.1-aarch64.iso
groovy-vibe-linux-1.1-riscv.iso
groovy-vibe-linux-sha256sums.txt
That way, when we download the sums, we know which distro they go to!!
P.S., if anyone actually wants to use the name "Groovy Vibe Linux," it's all yours, as long as it's not just another Arch/Ubuntu derivative with a cool theme. Seriously, put in a little more effort. XD
