A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing a lake with dark water, a whitish green grass, heavy fog, and almost red plants emerging out of the lake.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing the sun pinch through the fog with a wiggly river on the right side. The picture is taken through high grass.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing a burning sun behind the fog and tiny dunes with bushes on top of them as far as the eye can see.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney with dunes in the far background. The sun isn't visible, but it's light is sent visibly across the sky from the right side due to reflecting off of the heavy fog.

Did you know it's possible for two lines to appear to diverge in a 2D perspective view, but actually converge in 3D? Kind of the opposite of parallel lines in 3D converging in 2D.
I discovered this while trying to implement a clipping algorithm. At first I didn't believe it was possible, it felt so foreign to everyday experience. It actually happens whenever two lines converge behind the center of projection, but we rarely see that IRL.

What appears to be a trapezoid, with the narrower base as a horizontal line near the center, getting wider towards the top, until it's cut off by the top edge of the image (forming the wider base).
3D orbit showing what's really going on: the 'narrower base' of the trapezoid was one side of a triangle, and the other two sides get closer together moving away from it, not farther apart.

Content warning: sexual violence mention

As the Red Army was pushing into Berlin, Hitler tried to order the destruction of German Industry. It was not simply to prevent the allies from continuing, but also to punish the German people for failing him. The film Downfall portrays him believing that the German people had shown themselves to be weak and that they deserved to die.
Trump has always had some Hitler energy. It's been reported multiple times that he keeps a collection of Hitler speeches by his bed. As he threatens Greenland, everyone wants to jump to compare that to Poland. The thing is, he doesn't have Hitler 1939 energy. He has Hitler 1945 energy.
Everyone knows he's a pedophile and a rapist. He's a loser and he'll do anything to distract from that. He would literally start WWIII if he thought it would give him a few more days. He's a coward who's afraid to face what he's done. But he's a coward with nuclear weapons.
I just hope the people around him value their life more than they are loyal to him.

I packed for #POTA before heading out to do the weekly grocery shopping, even though it was only 40°F / 4.5°C with low clouds. I decided it was too cold to sit in the helinox chair without insulation, so I drove past US-3867 and went to US-2755 Umstead State Park instead, where I could sit at a picnic table. I took a floor mat out of my car to sit on. As it was, it was cold enough that I co…

Picnic table set up for POTA with KX3, PA2, my own single-paddle key, and a tablet on a stand with a keyboard.
Pictures of trees with almost invisible mast, RG316 coax, and 26AWG black wire that I know is there but can't see even though I know where to look. the mast is leaning against a branch instead of being guyed.
Linked dipole stowed for transport. Black wire is wrapped in a figure eight on each side, with bright yellow thin elastic cord at the end of each wire. A coil of RG316 coax is underneath it, and some of the elastic cord is wrapped around the coil and winder to stow.

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

Relative to many, my life is very good,
-- in that I am alive and housed, fed, sometimes employed.
I am healthy and loved.
Still, I am about to lose my entire mind over the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website,
and the fact that someone,
probably a bot farmer,
has already used my 16-year-old son’s identity to establish a fraudulent account.
This is a common scam,
one that was fortunately detected before any money changed …

FAFSA Is Breaking Me
I think I have been holding it together in the face of everything we can’t stop talking about—the killing and the dying, the explosions and the terror, the eggs and the bird flu and the shameless ghouls ruining the good parts of our country, the weapons and the

Trump Mobile execs showcase the T1 Phone's new design and specs, and say the phones go through "final assembly" in Miami and full assembly in the US is a "goal" (Dominic Preston/The Verge)

This is the Trump Phone
I spoke to Trump Mobile executives Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas for an exclusive first look at what they say is the T1 Phone.
