In ~82-83 my dad got a behind the scenes tour of the Jodrell Bank radio #astronomy centre, near us in #manchester , I vaguely remember being taken along.
Here are some pictures from it; including the control desk of the classic Mark 1/Lovell telescope.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

Some way towards exiting the #Apple ecosystem. I've been using a #fairphone for a while now (18 months) with de-Googled @murena ; and @linuxmint on the desktop. Final piece is my Apple laptop, which I'm replacing with a @frameworkcomputer

So far so good!

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

The #xodus escalates. Most of these accounts that are no longer following mine in the last week are listed as “deactivated by user.”

Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released 47 years ago today.

What a fantastic movie.
