I'm a German physicist, living and working in Germany, with a lot of strange house plants and never enough time for writing long fanfic epics in obscure fandoms.
I post in English about science and everything else & snarky everyday commentary in German.

You'll likely catch this image a million times in your various feeds: Earth as seen by Reid Wiseman from Artemis II en-route to the Moon.

My first thought? That's *really* noisy 🧐

But then I realised – it's the *nightside* of Earth, illuminated by the almost full Moon, not the Sun 🌕

The bright limb at lower-right is where the dayside starts, & the fact that you can see aurorae, airglow, & cities in Europe, Africa, & S & N America also gives the game away.

Cool.

Spaziergang habe ich dann auch noch gemacht ❤️.

EU-Kommission schon wieder gehackt

Noch keine zwei Monate ist es her, dass die (Angestellten der) EU-Kommission von einem Hack gegen ein proprietäres Produkt (hier von Ivanti) betroffen waren. Mindestens Namen und Mobilnummern der Angestellten sind dem Angreifer in die Hände gefallen. Jetzt hatte ein neuer Cyber-Angriff Erfolg. Die Kommission erklärt in einer äußerst mageren Verlautbarung, dass die offizielle Website der EU betroffen gewesen sei, und

Andere Quellen wissen bereits mehr. Demnach war Ziel und Opfer des Angriffs mindestens ein Benutzerkonto der EU bei AWS, wo anscheinend unter anderem auch die Internet-Präsenz der Kommission läuft. Der

Holy shit this is detailed. Can you believe the hubris to silently collect all this information on users?

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.

My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.

I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.

When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.

It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.

The settings are configurable via a link too.

This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.

I accidentally made art while working on this node in the studio. By pure chance I unplugged it right after this message came over the local mesh.

Now it is haunted and I want it on my wall.

A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth

If SpaceX launches one million new satellites, it will increase atmospheric pollution and risk of falling debris. And we will see more satellites than stars.
