I use syncthing to sync almost everything across my computer, laptop (occasional usage), server (RAID1), old laptop (powered up once every month or so), and a few other devices (that only get a small subset of my data, though). On the computer, laptop, and server, I have btrfs snapshots (snapper). Overall, this works very well, I always have 4+ copies of my data in 2+ geographical locations.

Amazing! What is left to do now? Orbital Raptor relight and dummy payload deployment? Do they need a new launch license for that, or is the current one (which should be good for similar flights if I understand correctly) sufficient? S31 + B13?

I assume they will want to demonstrate the V2 flap design before attempting a ship catch. They also need the second tower for that, unless the booster can be destacked sufficiently fast.

Probably its part of Flatpak?

TOR exit node IP addresses are well-known. If YouTube wants to, they can just block the TOR network.

The same amount of JXL gives you more image than JPEG? Also, it supports ridiculous resolutions (terapixel).

I took my existing JPEG file, compressed it using JXL, 15% smaller.

Then I decompressed it again into JPEG. The file was bit-for-bit identical to the original file (same hash). Blew my mind!

Directly using JXL is even better of course.

You can check heavens above (adjust your location) to check when it will be visible for you.

Wait a second, it’s going to pass over my house in 5 minutes!

Edit: Shit, clouds!

Edit2: I was able to see it through a few gaps in the cloud cover!

The link is broken, because it is attempting to create a new archive.org snapshot whenever someone clicks on it.

Wow, it really seems to be one of those crypto scams, you are right! I specifically checked for this, but apparently, I was fooled!

I was suspicious of the -2024 suffix. Things that tricked me:

  • 139k subscribers: I guess this channel just renamed itself?
  • Lot’s of official esa videos on the channel: Apparently, it’s just playlists.

I will redact my post to remove the cryptoscammer link. So far, no cryptoscamming was observed.

I was just watching the countdown to todays Ariane 6 flight on YouTube on the ~~official~~ cryptoscammer European Space Agency channel. The preview animation video that they are looping looks stunning, but something seem off …

3 weeks, roughly in line with faster Space Shuttle turn around times

The shortest shuttle turnaround time was 55 days. Almost three times as much as Falcon 9. The fastest post-Challenger turnaround time was 88 days, I believe. After Columbia, the fastest turnaround was around 5 months.

NASA claimed that the shuttle could achieve a turnaround time of two weeks (page IX). It looks like SpaceX is not the only one setting unrealistic timelines?
