🚀 Voyager 1 isn’t done yet — not even close 🧠🔧📡

NASA just pulled off another miracle save:
🛰️ The spacecraft’s primary roll thrusters, offline since 2004, were believed permanently dead
🧯 With backup thrusters at risk of failure, JPL engineers gambled on a high-stakes heater reset
🔥 If wrong, it could’ve caused a small onboard explosion
📡 If right, it would restore control — 15.6 billion miles from Earth

They were right. The thrusters fired. Voyager 1 can still hold its course.

This wasn’t a reboot. It was old-school problem-solving, deep systems knowledge, and the audacity to trust an idea that might just work.

The most distant human object is still flying — because a team believed it could.

Latvia. Ooooh I like these vocals. Very special. Unusual, but I am impressed!

LOL Graham Norton on the Latvian costumes: "I imagine somewhere in Latvia there's a river that's very very clean – not a plastic bag to be seen."

#Eurovision

#BIRD 3.1.1 was released yesterday!
It runs smoothly on #FreeBSD 14.3, even though 14.3 isn’t officially out yet.
Big thanks to NIC.cz for fixing the FreeBSD Netlink build issues.

Happy routing with 🐦!

By the way, the creative and artistic director of Tautumeitas’ performance at #Eurovision is Artūrs Analts https://www.instagram.com/aanalts/ #eirovīzija

Widely covered MIT paper saying AI boosts worker productivity is, in fact, complete bullshit it turns out.

Would a Navy K-9 unit be called a Sub Woofer?

In the fond words of Jean-Luc Picard, “BATTLE STATIONS!”

@rl_dane Context: not clear if it’s “hey follow me!” or “can I follow you (because some people restrict stuff)”.

It is brutal to tune a kokle.

I'll be at the first PLUG clinic in 5 years on Sunday, helping folks install #postmarketOS on old phones, tablets, laptops, whatever! Check the list of devices on our wiki to see if you have something fun to play with: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

Hope to see y'all there!

For those who asked…

Dear #Letsencrypt, you helped secure millions and millions of servers, not just web servers. But your announcement at https://letsencrypt.org/2025/05/14/ending-tls-client-authentication/ about ending Ending TLS Client Authentication Certificate Support in 2026 because Google changes their requirements would result in your certificates becoming a possible risk for ensuring SMTP traffic. Please think again. Please.
