NASA uses a value of Ο = 3.141592653589793 with 15 decimal digits for interplanetary navigation.
Calculating the circumference of the circle with radius = 32 billion km, slightly larger than the distance of the Voyager 1 spacecraft, and Ο with 15 digits, gives an error of just 1.5 cm.
Calculating the circumference of the Universe with radius = 46 billion light years, with an accuracy equal to the diameter of a hydrogen atom, requires 37 decimal digits.

Bringing up my quarterly complaint that there isnβt a service that all news services use for micro-payments so I donβt have to subscribe to 100 news sources.
Iβd love to give you money to read an article, but Iβm not subscribing for one article.
My *Create An Interactive City In Text using ink* D6 Learning course will be returning this May, and I can't wait to jump back into texty game urbanism using @inklestudios 's amazing ink.

Do you find yourself in the position where you just bought a piece of server kit (new or used) and you do not know what the IPMI password is, and you don't have a OS/screen to reset it, or it's set to some static IP that you don't know?
Please enjoy this small (70MB) image you can put on a USB stick and blindly boot the machine into, assuming the USB boots, it will set the IPMI to a known value, and set the network back to "normal" values (no VLAN and DHCP)
Enjoy! (and report back if you find it worked on things not already confirmed in the readme)
