for a friend (literally, don't worry about me) who is not a tech person, whose gov is threatening to ramp up censorship in a massive way, and who depends on international websites for both biz & entertainment

trying to find any beginner explainers/setup guides on stuff like:

- what options are available if VPNs are getting blocked & sites are also blocked at the ISP or CDN level

- what fingerprinting/DPI is, how you would go about using wireguard related tech

I really can't stop looking at this photo - We usually think of space as being entirely empty and dark, but our Sun has a lot of dust around it that we can rarely see. This so called Zodiacal light is giving the moon this eerie backlit glow.

And four people really have been there and witnessed this yesterday, absolutely blows my mind!

The Moon isn’t just a natural object—it’s a cultural one.

Only about 2% of named lunar craters honor women, revealing how even our maps of space reflect historical bias.

As Artemis missions mark a new era of exploration, this is a chance to rethink representation beyond Earth.

Citadel (2022)

I edited this image last night. I've been trying to crack it's puzzle for years and failed, struggling with it's colours and tones. I desperately wanted an epic shot here when I visited #Yukon in 2022, I'd scoured maps to find a suitable foreground for this peak. But, the weather didn't co-operate the day-of.

I am thrilled to finally share it.
