Remember when people were typing one word and then blindly accepting the next one from autosuggestion because it was a kind of fun and silly thing to do?

We now have a whole industry built around it.

Speckle; or open-cell convection for the technically minded.

Looking at @NSFVoyager2 and wondering (hoping!) if I’ll still be alive when it or its sister reaches a full light day away from Earth.

This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

If you are also annoyed by Firefox for some reason now trimming the protocol in the address bar you can fix that behavior by setting "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to get URLs you can properly copy and use back.

@jpm @futzle the new AirMatch tech on their controller based products works pretty well too, also machine learning

Aruba Instant APs are still really good for this! One AP in the cluster acts as a controller, and another can take over if it fails.

Rest of the functionality still works really well if you're just running a single AP

I don't really need the bulk of an eGPU enclosure and I am pretty happy to supply 12VDC from a bench supply instead of an ATX PSU.

Any suggestions?
