Took some time off from the socials. What have I missed?
@gayint Totally missed that post! Good mission, fully support. Let me organise some stuff and come back to you :-)

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a star’s explosion at its earliest stage.

The feat was achieved by ESO's Very Large Telescope just a day after the detection of this supernova, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

This brief initial phase wouldn’t have been observable a day later. This will help shed light on how massive stars go supernova.

@Waitnwallflower Me, if I had hair.

Hi @gayint! Big favour to ask…

Partly because I need an awesome name for a group chat, but mostly because I’m jealous of SPICY O-RING, any chance you can assign a name for a bunch of infosec folks in Australia who at least once a week will mutter “I’d be rich if I was in the other side” but then go back to shitposting about dodgy vendors?

@wario64 They’d sell a jillion of those.

I am begging you, if you are a restaurant, you need to have a web presence other than Facebook and Instagram. I don't have those, and therefore can't see anything about your business!
@schwa Saw a great session at #kawaiicon on the weekend that pointed out that to date, all the factorisation papers have been physics experiments rather than tech demos (in that they all started from pre-chosen numbers). Worth watching when they get the recordings published.
@GossiTheDog I backed it on Kickstarter to relive my youth playing Elite on the C64. Lost all interest when they made it online multiplayer only, have played it maybe twice.
