#limine looks interesting. A non-annoying way to get secure boot and a pretty boot menu in #nixos? Sign me up.

The comet #Lemmon show goes on ... images by M. Jäger and G. Rhemann from the evenings of 26 and 27 October: see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/10/27/das-nordliche-finale-der-komet-lemmon-show/ for technical details (and more).

1/2 Luin Pälvi Rantalan kirjan "Ämpäri - Arjen sankariesine". Onkin korkea aika saada kirja ämpäristä. Ämpärillä on ollut rooli kaikessa inhimillisessä ja roolitus jatkuu symbolisena, mutta myös resilienssin välineenä.
Neitseellisestä muovista tehtynä jonotettu ilmainen muoviämpäri on ollut kulutusyhteiskunnan rappion symboli, mutta kierrätysmuovista tehtynä symboli kestävälle arkemme huolenpidolle, lähiympäristön hoivatyölle ja varautumiselle.

Was walking by the counter, saw a pepper lying on it, thought why not, my limoncello is already a hybrid limon-aran-cello, let's make it totally mongrel, and threw the pepper in. Now it's even more awesome! In other news, I've been banned from ever returning to Italy.

The Lyman-$α$ Forest from LBGs: First 3D Correlation Measurement with DESI and Prospects for Cosmology
The Lyman-$α$ (Ly$α$) forest is a key tracer of large-scale structure at redshifts z > 2, traditionally studied using spectra of quasars. Here, we explore the viability Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) as alternative background sources for Ly$α$ forest studies. We analyze 4,151 Ly$α$ forest skewers extracted from LBG spectra obtained in the DESI pilot surveys in the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields. We present the first measurement of the Ly$α$ forest auto-correlation function derived exclusively from…

While looking in vain for comet Lemmon - already too low - from Bochum, Germany, yesterday (28 October) the setting #Moon suddenly broke through the clouds, at -26° declination. Some consolation prize ...

Well. That was pretty easy. Boot process secured and prettified with #limine #nixos

The clouds over Bochum, Germany, cleared too late this evening, so instead of Lemmon I tried #comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) for a change - here it is: both pictures with a bridge camera on a tripod, 5 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 3200. It's fading: according to https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2659 the brightness is 6.7 mag. right now.
