Genomes of 24,000 previously unknown microbes revealed by new tools
QUT researchers have recovered the genomes of more than 24,000 previously unknown microbial species—some from entirely new branches of life that likely evolved before plants and animals. The microbes are detailed in two studies published in Nature Biotechnology and Nature Methods.

RE: social.makerforums.info/@mcdan
This morning, I heard the first report of someone passing their US ham radio exam by using Open Ham Prep …

Screenshot showing the first 6 of 16 lessons covering the US ham radio Technician class exam material, starting with "Welcome to Amateur Radio". Because I have passed all the quizzes associated with topic 2, "Your Identity on the Air", it is marked as completed. Two other topics are marked as partially complete because I have passed some but not all of the associated quizzes.
Screenshot showing the first six of 57 topics, starting with "The Transceiver - Your Voice to the World". Because I've taken the quiz for the first topic, it is marked as "Completed"
Screenshot showing the result of successfully answering all the questions in a quiz, and that you can always review questions for a topic by re-taking the quiz.
Screenshot of dashboard, showing that answering only a few questions does not demonstrate that I'm ready to take the test, even though I answered all of those few 100% correctly.

Y'all posting your aurora pictures... There are times I wish I spent more time back up north! Meanwhile, I'm glad I got my ham radio fix yesterday hunting a little bit of POTA, because the CME was responsible for more than the aurora... solar.w5mmw.net/

I just added a recipe for backing up your #Discourse using restic, and a bunch of other updates, to my guide to Discourse deployment, as part of working on deploying a new Discourse instance. A bunch of plugins that I used to recommend adding are now in the core, which simplified the install.

MKJ's Opinionated Discourse Deployment Configuration
I have been running a Discourse forum with a substantial amount of content and plenty of images over the past few years. Maker Forums has over 100GB of images and over 400,000 posts, of which a substantial amount was imported, primarily from Google+, and the rest was created on the site. This post describes elements of how I eventually configured Maker Forums and, later, a few other Discourse instances. This is what I wish I knew when I got started, and which I’ve used to help others avoid so…
