We are in a forest (pink, magenta, light/dark purple color). Autumn leaves are falling from the trees. A rabbit, a deer, and a fox are running away from a creature (in this particular moment, probably a bear shape), made only of leaves and branches. There is no real threat, but they choose to abandon this place, to go to a place where the wind is calmer and feels safer for everyone.

Anyone know what kind of board connector from the mid 90s has this footprint? I'm pretty sure these are debug points on this board. (share with your electronics friends please?)

Photo of a circuit board with some unpopulated test ports. They're each 2x8 pin arrangements with one row of 8 drilled, and only the first and last pin of the second row drilled. All the drills are filled with solder, and one of the corners on the sparse row is square instead of circular. Each port has a silks border around it big enough for a 4x8 or maybe 5x10 header, suggesting a plastic housing.

Lichen morphology (no, the other kind) in Sheldrake's "Entangled Life"

#lichen #lichenisation #evolution #LichenSubscribe #biology #MerlinSheldrake #nature #fungi #mycology #affixes #morphology

No-one knows when lichens first evolved. The earliest fossils date from just over 400 million years ago, but it’s possible that lichen-like organisms occurred before this. Lichens have evolved independently between nine and twelve times since. Today, one in five of all known fungal species form lichens, or ‘lichenise’. Some fungi (such as Penicillium moulds) used to lichenise but don’t any more; they have de-lichenised. Some fungi have switched to different types of photosynthetic partner — or re-lichenised — over the course of their evolutionary histories. For some fungi, lichenisation remains a lifestyle choice; they can live as lichens or not. depending on their circumstances.

A rare event is happening at the coast of a small futuristic island in pastel colors (blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow). Ancient but modern high sci-fi structures frame whales flying in the sky. Some of these whales look like clouds; maybe they are their ancestors, or these clouds only form these shapes to follow them to their destination. Are they on the way to a new galaxy, welcoming a newborn whale, or saying goodbye to a loved one? Humans or humanoids, along with their cute tiny bodyguards, are enjoying the peaceful view.

What do XLibre, Omarchy and AppImage all have in common?

They're all "made" primarily by fascists who claim that "politics" (which in this case means the safety and visibility of marginalised people) doesn't matter so long as the product itself is good, and happen to be absolute trash-tier products that you shouldn't use anyway.

agon Island, where the cities occasionally do not sleep.

Buildings in the shape of dragons with glowing lights fill the scenery. The night sky glows in blue and turquoise colors. Two real dragons meet. A young dragon looks rather strict and sceptical as it meets the older spirit dragon here.

Our friends at Emerald Onion are on their journey to building diskless Tor relays!
A different approach than ours but equally interesting — check out their blog post.

A pioneering mission in solar astronomy and space weather science passed a key milestone this week, as the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) crossed an amazing 30 years in space.

SOHO has far exceeded its original 2-year nominal mission. The mission launched on December 2, 1995 from Cape Canaveral U.S. Air Force Station on an ATLAS IIAS rocket. SOHO’s vantage point parked in a Lissajous halo orbit around the sunward L1 Lagrange point a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth affords it an uninterrupted view of the Sun.

Here’s our post on the amazing mission milestone for Sky & Telescope: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/the-solar-and-heliospheric-observatory-celebrates-30-years-in-space/

Golden jelly fungus

#FungiFriday #Mushtodon #Nature #Photography

A Yellow Brain Fungus growing on a dead tree.The fungus has a striking, gelatinous, deep yellow color. Its fruiting body is irregularly shaped, highly lobed, and convoluted, resembling a tangled mass of brain-like folds or gelatinous leaves.
