Data Movement Model for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
The sky images captured nightly by the camera on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's telescope will be processed across facilities on three continents. Data acquisition will occur at the observatory's location on Cerro Pachón in the Andes mountains of Chile. A first copy of the raw image data set is stored at the summit and immediately transmitted via dedicated network links to the archive center within the US Data Facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, USA and from there …

電力については状況がはっきりしないのですが、地域で停電がありまして、宅内の全電源が落ちました。停電自体は数秒〜10数秒程度で復旧しました。
そこから、光ネクストの接続復旧に手間取りまして、しばらくのあいだ、宅内サーバでサービスしていたNightly Fedibird、Fedibird Matrixなどのサーバが接続できなくなっておりました。
ご不便おかけして申し訳ありませんでした。

Does anyone have experience with running docker images of other Linux distros in GitHub Actions CI?
Use case is validating that things build and run under e.g. Fedora or Arch given an outer Ubuntu system. It won't be perfect because you're still running the Ubuntu kernel but should be good enough to find obvious build problems, produce usable nightly builds, etc.

Saw this "Followed hashtags" collapsible list on mastodon.social (v4.4.0 nightly), wondering how long the list of hashtags will be.
Turns out it's hard-coded to 4 🤷‍♂️

Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared
We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements with a standard deviation of 1.69 m/s and a median uncertainty of 55 cm/s, and performed a joint analysis combining radial velocities, spectroscopic activity indicators, and ground-based photometry, to model the planetary and stellar signals present in the data, applying multi-dimensional Gaussian process regression to …

EV Charging Cost by the Numbers.
I charge my car at home almost nightly wirh a Level 2 Flo 30A/240V charger.
I noticed today that they have added an "estimated rate" for my address based on my utility (BC Hydro) charge so that it can estimate the cost of the charging.
Their estimate is $0.11400/kWh. I drive alot. 160km a day when I am commuting to work and then 50-100km in the evening 4-5 days a week Dashing. Thanks to dashing I have a solid record of odometer readings.
We have both tiered and time of day pricing so it's complicated to do this manually. I do most of my charging during the lowest rate overnight. I have the Flo charger set to only charge at full 30A power between 11PM and 7AM to match the overnight rate, then 15A in "off peak" (standard rate) and to turn off completely during on-peak 4PM to 9PM times.
I think their estimate is quite accurate considering the overnight rate is usually $0.14 - $0.05/kWh. Ill include my latest electrical bill. (we are billed monthly)
Here are the numbers.
A "full tank" of battery is 65kWh
Monthly: eg. March (full time commuting plus dashing) 4668km
30 charging sessions
853.4kWh
$97 ($2.07/100km)
Last 12 months: 56,107km
8793kWh
$1,002 ($1.78/100km)
There are a few free charges at work in there (15 in the year?) but any saving is eaten up by $6/day parking cost.
As a comparison if I drove our 2014 Prius C hybrid 56,000km at its general fuel mileage of 5L/100km and an average price of $1.60/L that would be $2,800. So I am saving by more than half, and probably more than that, compared to one of the best mileage hybrids out there.
It makes less and less sense to buy a gas car.
(We have 222,607km on the 2019 Hyundai Kona and about 250,000 on the Prius)
