I'm moving to a different instance, because #Astrodon in shutting down.

@countdracula @Tutanota I recommend @nitrokey !

@madjohnroberts Cool! I will make one myself using RPi Pico. Did you have any troubles while making this?

🚀StarSeeker 0.98 is up!
🔗 https://starseeker.spark72.com/
Now showing all 60K stars within 200ly. Search is now an API call, and system data loads on demand—cuts the initial data in half (was ~174MB). Batch processing’s faster too! 1/6

@batist3 @techlore I rearly read privacy policies so I may not understand everything correctly and it seems that they do collect a lot of stuff, but:
- they have a reason for each thing they collect,
- they do not share it except with services they use (payment processing, email sending, weather, etc.) and if requested by feds/govs
- they do not sell it

And in case they change it, I have a watch with no WiFi nor microphone and I can can just uninstall Garmin Connect app and there is no way the watch is able to spy on me and it would still work for years (but no updates).

@jik I'm pretty sure the box is for the cat and not for you. It seem the perfect size to fit in :)

@batist3 @techlore Garmin Pay is probably the least invasive, but you can only use it on a Garmin Watch.

@yora This picrure is the saddest picture I've seen :(

People got very upset that Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet and kept grumbling about it for years.

But I am still deeply disappointed when I remember that all published images of Neptune were colorized to match the first high resolution false color image of Neptune.

They all lied to us, and for decades nobody had the courage to be the one to show us what Neptune really looks like.

And somehow nobody seemed to care when it came out. 😕 ✨

I'm writing a solar system simulator in #rust with #bevy game engine. This is a basic 2d view renderd directly to gif.

@rust Nobody thought me it should not be used this way

Hey @rust WTF?!

No particular reason, but I used that for a lecture on numerics in astrophysics last week and it's very pleasant to watch:
developing of Kelvin-Helmoltz instability in a test with the AREPO code (Springel 2010), directly taken from here: https://virgo.dur.ac.uk/2010/01/05/AREPO/

The black edges show the deforming and moving "mesh" of voronoi cells which are used to update the hydrodynamics at each timestep.

Wolf Moon sharpened using deconvolution with gaussian psf and a little stretched.

This is how stretching works.
