"Biomass is the first satellite to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar, its signal capable of penetrating forest canopies to measure woody biomass—trunks, branches and stems. These measurements serve as a proxy for carbon storage, the assessment of which is the mission's primary objective."

Biomass satellite returns striking first images of forests and more

Today, at the Living Planet Symposium, ESA revealed the first stunning images from its Biomass satellite mission—marking a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth's forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle. But these inaugural glimpses go beyond forests. Remarkably, the satellite is already showing potential to unlock new insights into some of Earth's most extreme environments.

Back home \o/ good!

but bad because only one of my Covid tablets is approved. I need both because my doctor is also on holiday and I will otherwise run out.

Thousands of people with chronic medical issue have this issue every single summer.

Why do govts and medical insurance think they should get to second-guess what the doctor prescribes?

every.damn.summer.

CitrixBleed 2 update.

- Citrix have finally, quietly admitted exploitation in the wild -- by not commenting to press and then editing an old blog post and not mentioning it on their security update page.

- Orgs have been under attack from threat actors in Russia and China since June

- It's now under spray and pray, wide exploitation attempts.

CitrixBleed 2 situation update — everybody already got owned

The ‘good news’, I suspect, is that most orgs will be too lacking in logs to have evidence. So they get to hope nothing too bad happened, I guess. The reason for this is the exploitation activity…

1. creators want their social presence to be as universally accessible as a public website and don't want to manage multiple services.

2. eventually every corporation will try to fuck you to make more money.

I don't get how you can understand these facts and not see the open and decentralized #SocialWeb as the endpoint of social media, no matter how long it takes to get there.

New areas in the game starting to take shape. My heavy focus on drawing a lot the past weeks really helped.

I missed the bear grass super bloom this year but the other wildflowers are really in their prime. And berries! Cool thing about doing these big elevation changes is moving through so many different microclimates. I ate ripe salmon, thimble, blue and red huckles, and wild blue berries! I don't think I've ever seen all of those ripe at once.

Best highlight was seeing a blond bear cub on the trail. He took off into the trees as soon as I saw him so no picture. I couldn't see mama bear so I just stayed put and made a lot of noise for a few minutes.

I did get a (grainy) picture of a cute little pika!
