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!

S. Wagenknecht hat einer “Koalition mit AfD in Thüringen klare Absage” erteilt:

Sie erklärte, dass man mit dem dortigen AfD-Landeschef Björn Höcke "nicht zusammenarbeiten" könne. Höcke vertrete "ein völkisches Weltbild - das ist also meilenweit von uns entfernt". Die Zustimmung zu AfD-Anträgen behielt sich Wagenknecht aber vor. "In einer Demokratie sollte jede Partei, die Anträge einbringt, ein normales Verfahren erwarten, wo am Ende entschieden wird, ist der Antrag richtig oder falsch."

Aber ob man mit einer AfD ohne Höcke zusammenarbeiten würde? Wurde nicht ausgeschlossen.

Selbst wenn Biden jetzt seine Kandidatur zurückzieht, wüsste ich nicht, was irgendjemand diesem Bild entgegensetzen könnte.

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?

Without UEFI, the boot process is different for each device, requires a custom boot loader, or at least explicit support by the operating system. Is your laptop going to be supported by the distribution you want to use? What about in 5 or 10 years? With UEFI, the boot process is standardized, so it should just work.

That was some Columbia-level damage that Starship experienced during reentry, and yet it successfully retained control authority, completed a soft landing, and everything was live streamed. Amazing!

The booster seems to be almost ready for the first catch attempt (depending on the accuracy of the landing).

I wonder to what extent they can retrofit Ship 30 to reinforce the hinge of the flaps, and how long that is going to take? On the other hand, the ship did survive, so maybe they will just repeat the launch without any major fixes, and try a few different things? (Deorbit burn, maybe even suborbital test-mass deployment, or more aggressive tests of the heat shield?)

The next-generation Starship design has less exposed flaps with reinforced hinges already. But is it already in production?
