I recently got a “new” iPad (meaning, a used model from 2020) and I was amazed at how terrible it was for web browsing. Then I realized I forgot to point it at my Pi-hole install for DNS.

Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…
